Design And Layout Tips For The Perfect Salon Interiors

1. Design And Layout Tips For The Perfect Salon Interiors Thinking of opening a styling station soon? Before you call the construction people and get started with the work, think about the interiors. Remember, when opening salons, you need to keep in mind that your client satisfaction will not only depend on the services but also on the ambience. A good salon station starts with the basics. Here are some basic tips that you should not avoid at any cost. a. Have your salon’s water pressure tested as early as possible. Most local water companies will do this for you. You need a minimum of 1.75 to 2.5 bar of water pressure otherwise a booster pump will be necessary. b. Check your wall construction as soon as you can. You need solid concrete or brick –partition walls aren’t suitable. c. Locate your wash area as close as you can to water and waste outlets. Not only will this be cheaper to install but a shorter pipe run is less likely to cause you future plumbing problems. d. Make the most of natural daylight whilst thinking about your clients’ privacy. No- one wants to sit with foils in their hair in full view of passers-by. It’s not a good look. e. Think carefully about the floor surface. Plan For The Wash Area a. Use partitions to design a tranquil corner for clients away from the bustle of the salon. b. Again, remember to provide sufficient work space. Allow 0.6m (2′) behind a wash unit for the operator. Plus, a similar amount at the other end for the client’s legs. c. Gain handy salon storage and hide ugly pipe work with link units between the wash sections.

2. d. Alternatively, build a small plinth for the wash units. Hot and cold water and waste pipes can then be concealed beneath the false floor. Conclusion Do your homework, and plan carefully before you take a wrong decision.
