"Beautiful Salons Don't Happen By Luck; they happen by Design." - Phil Taylor, 2023

Next to the quality of a salon's work, the greatest draw card in attracting the clientele you desire rests with the presentation of your salon space. It should speak to and be a reflection of your brand's style. From contemporary chic to raw industrial, having an up-to-date and functional salon can elevate your profile whilst increasing revenue. Here we'll share our top 5 tips to get it right.

Salon Design

Work from a solid foundation.

The key elements of salon design should include practical considerations to ensure your space is both functional & aesthetically pleasing. Working with the right designer will ensure important cohesion between salon design & salon furniture, as the two should flow. Our expert team can cover everything from drafting designs to completing your dream salon, removing the pressure of dealing with multiple trades and, in most instances, saving clients money.

Salon Budget & Finance

Do you know all your options?

Establishing a realistic budget is critical to know what types of furniture & fit-out will be achievable. Financial options such as 'leasing to own' could be a smart move!

Financing your furniture and fittings can improve your cash flow with easy-to-manage monthly payments and no large initial outlay. Furthermore, you'll enjoy the tax benefits of leasing, which is 100% tax deductible.

 

Salon Build & Design Timelines

Get realistic.

Good things come to those who wait or perhaps those who plan.....

Too often, we speak with salon owners who come to us with a vision but an unrealistic timeline. As a guide and to maximise results, give yourself six months for planning and execution of salon re-design / fit-out work and up to 12 weeks for premium salon furniture custom fabrication and delivery.

 

Salon Customisation

Colour is the new black.

When it comes to your salon furniture, there's always been a better time to be creative, and something else will make a salon stand out from the crowd, like bespoke furniture. We encourage clients to experiment with various colours, finishes, patterns, textiles and personal embossing, to name just a few options that will set you on the path to creating an original/custom piece of furniture that's a talking point in your salon.

 

Salon Furniture Quality

Salon furniture is an investment.

The old saying, 'you get what you pay for,' has never been truer than with salon furniture. In a market saturated with poor-quality budget products (requiring high turnover), consider investing in higher-quality furniture, which will be more economical in the long run and increase client comfort. For this reason, Space Salon Furniture works with the most trusted names globally, including Maletti Italy which has been the benchmark and industry reference point since 1936…

As a salon owner, you know how important it is to provide an exceptional experience to your clients. Clients expect to be pampered and treated like royalty when they enter the salon. While your stylists' skills are critical in creating a fabulous hairdo, the hair-washing experience is often the most memorable part of a salon visit. Most customers enjoy the hair-washing parts the most, as it can be a relaxing and cleansing experience, that is, if you have the right shampoo unit.

What Are Salon Shampoo Units?

Shampoo units are specialised chairs or washing stations designed specifically for hair washing in a salon. These units often come with built-in sinks, adjustable headrests, and footrests, making them comfortable and easy to use for clients. The role of shampoo units in a salon is critical, as they are the first point of contact for clients when they arrive at a salon. A high-quality shampoo experience can set the tone for the rest of the salon visit. Clients often remember their shampoo experience more than their haircut or styling. Apart from providing comfort and convenience for clients, shampoo units also play a crucial role in the productivity and efficiency of a salon. With the right equipment, stylists can wash and rinse hair quickly and efficiently, allowing them to spend more time cutting and styling hair. This means more clients can be served, and more revenue can be generated for the salon. As a salon owner, investing in the right shampoo units can significantly impact your business's success, and it's essential to view it as a long-term investment that will pay off in the form of increased client satisfaction and loyalty.

The Cost of Having Shampoo Units

Buying a shampoo unit requires careful consideration and evaluation of the salon's needs and budget. By considering such factors, you can make an informed decision to help provide a comfortable and enjoyable shampoo experience for clientele.

Evaluate The Price Of The Shampoo Unit

While quality shampoo units can be a significant investment, evaluating the price and ensuring it fits your budget is important. Look for high-quality units at an affordable price to get the best value for your money. Doing this allows you to compare different options and choose the best shampoo unit for your salon. It is also a good idea to compare features, materials, warranties, and prices to make an informed decision that suits your salon's needs.

Consider The Size Of The Salon

For smaller salons, it's essential to choose a shampoo unit that is compact and space-saving without compromising on comfort and features. You want to ensure clients can comfortably sit in the chair and stylists can move around the unit easily to provide a complete shampoo experience. For larger salons, you may have more space to work with and can choose a shampoo unit that is more spacious and comfortable, with additional features such as adjustable headrests and footrests. By choosing a unit that fits comfortably in your space, you can ensure that your salon feels organised, spacious, and inviting, positively impacting the overall client experience.

Check The Durability of the Shampoo Unit

A shampoo unit is a long-term investment, so you want to ensure that it is durable and built to last. Check the materials used in the construction of the unit and read reviews from other salon owners to ensure its durability.

Look for warranties

Warranties provide peace of mind when making a significant investment in salon equipment. Look for shampoo units with warranties, protecting you against defects or malfunctions.

Check for compatibility

Choosing a shampoo unit compatible with the plumbing system you plan to install is important. This can help prevent leaks, reduce the risk of damage to your plumbing system, and ensure that the shampoo unit operates efficiently and effectively. Checking for compatibility also ensures that the salon complies with local laws and regulations and operates safely and efficiently.

Buy Quality Shampoo Units for Your Salon

Investing in shampoo units can have numerous benefits for your salon. Not only do they provide a comfortable and efficient hair-washing experience for your clients, but they can also improve the overall efficiency of your salon by allowing your stylists to focus on styling and cutting hair. Of course, the cost is always a consideration for salon equipment. The price of a shampoo unit can vary depending on the features, brand, and quality.

On average, you can expect to pay anywhere between one thousand dollars to over several thousands of dollars per unit. While this may seem like a significant investment, the benefits of having shampoo units in your salon can make it well worth the cost, by providing your clients with a top-notch hair-washing experience, you can improve client satisfaction and loyalty, which can lead to increased business and revenue over time.
