A successful salon theme or individually themed rooms can leave a lasting impression with your clients.

Keep it simple. The best design ideas are the simplest.Make your decision about colours carefully and wisely. Remember, your salon design will have to last a reasonable length of time. Pick a colour scheme of two or three colours and run these throughout your salon. From furniture, equipment, and decorations, to plants and flowers.
Once you’ve designed the layout of your salon it’s important to choose the right furniture to enhance your space. Dark upholstery, for example, will help improve the longevity of your salon furniture. Let’s face it. Stains do happen.
Create the right ambience with the right lighting. The atmosphere you create for your clients can be cleverly enhanced with the right choice of lighting. Bright light fixtures can add an artistic splash to blank wall spaces or highlight and frame chosen wall artwork.
Don’t be intimidated by large expanses of wall space. Get creative. Fill it with wall decals or bright posters. Not every piece of artwork has to break the bank either. Just use your imagination. Make the most of any old tools you still have with a fresh blast of spray paint and a touch of ingenuity.
Don’t be afraid of space. Lean towards minimalism rather than filling every available area. Tight on square footage? Use mirrors to trick the eye and ‘double’ your space.
Don’t neglect your outdoor walkway too. How are you grabbing potential clients’ attention on the street? Consider using a chalkboard to show promotions and help increase walk-ins. And get creative with your window displays!
