If you have a hairdressing salon, you will probably have all the hairdressing furniture and equipment you need. Whether you’re setting up your first salon or renovating your salon, this is what you need.
1. Having the right salon chairs is important and you’ll want to make sure your chairs are adjustable, comfortable and suitable for your clients. A salon for young professionals in the city center will have different types of chairs to a salon geared toward seniors in a rural town.
2. Your hairdresser’s reception furniture is the first impression your clients have of your salon. You need to make sure that your reception couch and chairs are not worn, dirty, or crumbling. By making your clients feel welcome and comfortable, they are much more likely to enjoy a haircut and return to your salon.
3. Your washing areas should be functional and have all the facilities you and your staff need to properly wash your customers’ hair. You may want to opt for sleek modern units, or choose something more traditional, depending on your clientele.
4. Styling areas are also important, and will be where your clients get their hair cut. You’ll want to make sure your design areas have plenty of space and fit in with your decor and client expectations.
5. Mirrors are also vital in any hairdressing salon, and you will need many different sized mirrors. In addition to wall-mounted mirrors, you’ll also want handheld mirrors. Why not see which sizes and styles will fit your interior and which ones will benefit your customers the most?
6. All hairdressers need good hairdressing scissors, combs, and brushes, so you’ll need to make sure that you and your staff have the hairdressing equipment you need to cut and style hair. It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced stylist, a new hairdresser, or the type of salon you work in, you’ll need to have the right type of scissors to get the results your clients are paying for.
7. Trolleys are a good way to store all the essential hairdressing supplies that every stylist will need. By keeping everything close at hand and tidy, your staff will be organized and better able to meet the needs of your customers.
8. Good quality hair dryers are worth it. Because they are worn all day every day, they need to be durable and reliable. By choosing wisely, you can ensure your hair dryers last.
9. Depending on the type of hairdresser you are, you may also need hood dryers for your clients. If you only cut men’s hair, you’re much less likely to benefit from hood dryers.
10. Having enough storage space for towels, hair products, robes and all the other essentials in your salon is vital. You’ll need your salon to look tidy, your stylists organized, and easy to find what you’re looking for. If your salon is cluttered and disorganized, it can discourage customers from coming back.
