Our tips for fitting out a 30 m² hairdressing salon

Defining spaces, furnishing without cluttering the room, maximising natural light, creating a personalised décor: designing a 30 m² hairdressing salon is quite a challenge! Here are a few professional tips for a successful and functional layout in small spaces.

Space and light: the key elements of interior design

Even more so in a modestly sized premises, well-chosen furniture and a minimalist décor are essential. You need to start by visualising the different areas of your salon: the reception, the waiting area, the shampooing and styling areas… Each must be clearly defined, and moving from one to the next must be easy, both for you and your clients. By choosing compact hairdressing furniture, you free up space without compromising on functionality.

The second key aspect when designing a small hairdressing salon is lighting. Opt for light colours and low-profile furniture to allow natural light to flow freely. By combining airy furnishings with well-thought-out lighting, you’ll create an overall impression of space whilst also establishing more intimate areas.

Hairdressing furniture designed for small spaces

Naturally, to fit out your hairdressing salon as effectively as possible, the choice of furniture is essential. My Salon de Coiffure offers a wide range of products designed to fit into compact spaces, such as the attractive FELIPE triple styling station with its rounded design.

You can also make the most of the longest wall by installing shampoo basins and/or double or triple styling stations, which offer real space-saving benefits and make your staff’s work easier. Some of our models mount directly onto the wall to minimise the floor space required.

The reception and payment area can be combined on a single compact counter such as AMELIE, featuring practical storage and LED lighting to maximise brightness. The FLOYD W model, with its glass shelves and front lighting, is also an attractive option.

Even a small waiting area can be tastefully furnished: a compact two-seater sofa such as the GINEVRA SOFA, or a few SINGLE or ROUND pouffes, paired with a magazine rack, are all it takes to create a pleasant space.

Minimalist yet refined décor

Once you’ve defined your spaces and chosen the furniture for your hair salon, all that remains is to add the finishing touch that will breathe life into your business: the décor. Naturally, in small spaces, it’s best to avoid overloading the area… If you’ve opted for light or pastel shades, a few brightly coloured accents can add a touch of cheerfulness. Don’t hesitate to hang a few carefully chosen photos or pictures on the walls.

One final tip: make sure you always keep your salon perfectly tidy. Whilst a bit of clutter might have its charm in a larger premises, it’s a luxury you simply can’t afford in a 30 m² space!
