Salon owners have many decisions to make when it comes to
the design and layout of their beauty facility. In addition to furniture, salon equipment, tools, and care products must also be purchased. A furniture budget
should include enough money to get quality nail tables, salon styling chairs,
and a skin care facial bed.
Many beauty parlors offer a variety of beautification
services, including hair cutting and styling, skin care treatments, makeup
artistry, and manicures. Each of these services will require salon work stations
where the skilled technicians can assist and satisfy their clients. Most salons
follow a layout that creates a good flow from one area to the next while still
giving each service its own distinct area.
First impressions are so very important to any business, but
especially for beauty salons. Clients have to like what they see and feel
comfortable while they are undergoing treatments in order to want to return in
the future. Each detail should be taken into consideration, from the lighting
levels, to the choice of furnishings and wall colors. Keeping the look modern
and classy will win over new clients. Owners can create long lasting
relationships with their clients by offering excellent service in a clean and
attractive setting and having salon equipment that is in great condition.
Nail tables of various sizes and colors can be bought in
sets. Clients should feel comfortable sitting down at a table across from the
technician when getting a manicure. The tools should also be in good, like new
condition. Keeping the nail tables tidy and organized will also show clients
that the salon is committed to offering quality service.
Salon styling chairs come in many looks, but their basic
function remains the same. They must be able to swivel around and to be brought
up and down with a convenient foot pedal. The upholstery for the seats should
be easy to wipe off with a damp or dry cloth, making vinyl a popular choice.
If the beauty parlor is going to offer skin treatments, such
as waxing, peels, masks, and threading, a skin care facial bed would be a good
investment. Clients will be able to sit on a well cushioned seat as they
undergo facial treatments. This type of bed also makes it easier for the
technicians to do their work since they can get close to the client and sit as
they work. The right salon equipment will create the best look to impress
clients.
