Ideas, tips and advice for decorating your modern hair salon

Choosing the right décor for your modern hair salon ensures that both you and your clients feel at home there.

From the layout of the space to the choice of colours and furniture, My Salon de Coiffure is here to guide you towards a successful design! Discover the key steps to follow and the details you shouldn’t overlook.

Spacious layouts and clean lines

However aesthetically pleasing it may be, your hairdressing salon’s décor mustn’t make people forget that this is your workplace! In other words, before you start painting, begin by drawing up a floor plan.

Define the different areas: reception, waiting area, shampooing, styling… Remember to leave enough space to move easily from one area to another.

The hairdressing furniture offered by My Salon helps you organise your salon in a practical and functional way. To give your salon a modern feel, opt for open-plan spaces, clean lines and natural light – for example, with a glass roof and understated furnishings.

Trendy materials and carefully chosen colours

Contemporary hairdressing salons are increasingly adopting a skilful blend of styles: industrial with a Scandinavian twist, chic contemporary… The décor of these salons gives pride of place to wood, but also to concrete in all its forms, metal, and cement…

When it comes to colours, the rule is quite simple: no more than three shades in total, including just one bright colour. The atmosphere of your hairdressing salon, even a modern one, should be conducive to relaxation for your clients. On that note, why not opt for a washing chair with a massage function? My Salon offers a range of models with modern designs and elegant lines.

In any case, opt for light colours on large surfaces to avoid making the whole space feel too dark. A palette of blues or oranges can be an interesting choice, or a base of white and grey enhanced with a touch of burgundy, green or even yellow for a vibrant effect… You’ll find further advice on choosing colours for your hair salon here.

Personalised décor and thoughtful lighting

Modern hairdressing salons are usually bright and sparsely furnished. This layout is both practical for day-to-day use and appreciated by customers, as it creates a sense of order and tranquillity.

The lighting in your hairdressing salon requires particular attention. Rather than a single strong light source, try to scatter several soft light fittings throughout, whilst ensuring there is sufficient lighting in areas where it is needed (washing stations, styling stations, etc.).

Small decorative touches are both flexible and essential. It is through these that you can express your personality and give your salon a distinctive character. Here too, moderation is key: a few pieces of modern art, framed photographs, or even some houseplants…

As for the furniture, it should blend in as harmoniously as possible with the overall ambience. Browse the My Salon de Coiffure catalogue to find the furniture that suits you, and make the most of the many customisation options on offer.
