It’s finally happening: You’ve picked out the perfect space and are ready to start furnishing your dream salon! You’re probably so thrilled about your new endeavor but haven’t taken the time to really consider what your options are when it comes to furnishing your new salon.
Here are a few questions to ask when choosing furniture for your new salon.
What kind of reception area would you like?
The reception area is what first greets all your guests. A large multi-service salon may need a larger reception area to differentiate check-in for different services. A desk large enough to seat two or more receptionists is perfect for this sort of salon.
For a salon limited on space, a simple pedestal-style desk is enough to get the job done.
In terms of seating, comfortable seating areas will not only make a world of difference to your clients but their (sometimes unwilling) companions. Don’t forget we live in a time with social distancing, so oversized seating or individual benches have become very popular!
What is your color scheme?
No matter what your color scheme is, you are going to want to look at all the options available. A single Kaemark American-Made styling chair has more than 900 style different configurations alone, meaning that you will find something that suits your needs perfectly.
What are your salon's needs?
Is your salon strictly for hair cuts, color, and styling or will you offer other services like eyebrow waxing and nails?
For salons offering a variety of services, furniture that is multi-purpose will help maximize the space used and get the best bang for your buck. For instance, our All-Purpose styling chairs are super popular for stylists that offer both hair services and waxing. Your client never leaves your chair and you can perform both services.
How much storage space do you need?
Storage space is one of the most important features of any salon. Maximizing your space can make the difference between your salon feeling cozy and comfortable or cluttered and disorganized.
Whether you opt for styling stations with large storage space and wire hiding capabilities, or for a minimalist tower station, consider your everyday products and services, and make sure your station adheres to your needs!
Do you need retail space?
Is your salon strictly for hair cuts, color, and styling or will you offer other services like eyebrow waxing and nails?
For salons offering a variety of services, furniture that is multi-purpose will help maximize the space used and get the best bang for your buck. For instance, our All-Purpose styling chairs are super popular for stylists that offer both hair services and waxing. Your client never leaves your chair and you can perform both services.
What is your budget?
Your budget can be a huge deciding factor in what salon equipment you purchase, however, there are options for any price point.
We offer 3 tiers of pricing, low (Savvy), High (Kaemark American-made), and a medium level where you can mix and match the two brands for a blended option. For example, if you’d like to save a little more on styling chairs, but having American-made stations that will last is important to you, a blended Savvy chair and Kaemark styling station would be the way to go.
Hopefully, these tips have helped you to figure out what sort of equipment you would like or need in your salon. For those interested in learning more or seeing salon equipment in person for yourself, be sure to schedule an in-person or virtual showroom visit.
