”Beauty" Designs
As can be understood from the name, aesthetic appearance is important in a beauty salon. At the design stage, designs should be made to reflect the wishes, signatures, and work of the business owner. It is easier to attract the attention of customers with these unique designs.
Hygienic Environment
The first thing that customers focus on when they enter a beauty salon is the level of hygiene and order of the environment. Imagine a beauty salon where the floors are dirty, the tables are messy. Would you trust this environment about your beauty?
With the covid-19 cases, the concept of hygiene is now in a very different place in our lives. In beauty salons, to provide a hygienic environment more easily, durable materials with a flat surface, easy to clean, should be selected in the selection of materials.
Comfortable Furnitures
The time spent by the client in the beauty salon can sometimes be up to 7-8 hours. For people who work here, working hours sometimes exceed 12 hours. Considering such situations, attention should be paid to the selection of furniture for users.
Let's deal with customers first;
Haircut, blow-dry, dyeing, washing, etc. different seats are required for the procedures. The procedures to be performed in the beauty salon should be listed in detail at the design stage, if special furniture is required for the procedures, research should be done. Hair washing chair, manicure-pedicure chair for example. Considering that these armchairs are constantly used during the day, comfortable, durable, and convenient furniture should be chosen.
Employee furniture;
Due to the chemicals in the materials to be used in the beauty salon, a variety of furniture with storage functions can be seen. There should also be specialized designs for the electrical tools used in the processes. For example, the seats used in the perm process. There are customer seats for hair cutting-styling, tables where employees display their work ... In addition to these, there are also back rooms. A space solution should be made where employees can rest during their breaks. Comfortable furniture should be used in this area, and a space free from business clutter in the hall should be created.
A Lighting That Does Not Surprise The Eye
In beauty salons, the element of lighting is very important. When a process is performed based on color changing, lighting systems should reflect the true appearance of these colors. Unnecessarily warm or cold colors can lead to false directions. For the colors used in the process to be understandable, the lighting systems should be researched in detail in advance, and tests should be done at the application stage, if necessary.
Decors Inspired By You
Decorative choices in a beauty salon should carry the signature of the place, but at the same time should not get in front of the customer's image. When customer enters the hall, they should perceive that they are entering a space with an aesthetic style, but when they leave the hall at the same time, these decorations should not get in the way of their beauty. In other words, the decoration should be a welcome that opens its arms at certain times, and sometimes it should stay in the background and let the customer shine.
As decoration elements, wall shelves, stands, seating groups, trinkets that are more often seen around seating groups, etc. can be given as an example. With the selected small decorations, it is necessary to make sure that there are no obstacles to the procedures performed in the beauty salon. If we look at areas on a larger scale, such as the wall-floor-ceiling triad;
Wall coverings in different textures and colors can be considered to create focal points on the walls from place to place. The thing to note in this part is that these coatings do not get in front of the mirrors. The use of mirrors in the beauty salon is important. The mirrors, which are considered one with the tables, are usually kept in large sizes, creating both a wide view for the customer and creating an illusion that makes the beauty salon look bigger. In the coatings to be used on the walls, these reflections should be taken into account and the customer should be prevented from losing focus in these reflection games. Therefore, the coating places to be made should be carefully selected.
In floor coverings, a simple single color or single pattern floor covering can be useful when we consider the hygiene element. In the vertical planes, there are furniture, decorations, mirrors, materials for operations, tools ... a lot of factors. The floor can be kept simpler to avoid creating a mess. Glossy, light-colored ceramic Decking on the floors of beauty salons is more convenient and is among the design trends in recent times.
We can also think of the ceiling decoration as the floor. Of course, we also need to pay attention to different parts here.
1-Will the ceiling installation be stored?
2-Do we want to make the place look big or small?
The coating or paint color to be used on the ceiling plays a big role in the perception of the space. Let's assume that your living room height is very high. The dark color coating or paint that will be used on the ceiling may show the area proportionally more balanced. Stalactites, decorative elements, and spotlights can be stored on the ceiling from place to place, as well as an excessive ceiling height.
And in the opposite case?
In cases where the ceiling height is low (300 cm and below), it can create a flattened environment for a beauty salon. People who work standing up during the day, the number of customers who are in a constant stream…
If this is the case, light-colored wall coverings or paints can be used to make the space look larger. This time, instead of stalactites, decorative elements and lighting systems attached to the ceiling can be considered. These solutions will not only reduce the space but also create a modern, stylish atmosphere.
