Attention to detail is a key part of the hairdressing job description. Moreover, the appearance of your shop is where prospects get their first impression. If customers can see clutter or grime they may start to wonder what other dirty salon secrets you’re hiding.

Since the holidays are often the busiest times of the year for salons, it’s likely that right now yours could do with some sprucing up. Spring is famously perfect for freshening things. With the season of new beginnings on the way the time is right for you to tidy up shop.

However, regardless of the season, meticulous cleaning is always good for business. So, what are some ways you can refresh your salon space?

Create a theme

When embarking on a renovation project, it can be tempting to grab materials and rush in. This is how mismatches and mistakes are made. Instead, create a plan before making a single change.

The best salon designs use a single coherent theme. You don’t have to come up with this from scratch. Check social media platforms like Instagram or Pinterest for salon theme inspiration.

Paint

There’s no better way to transform a head of hair than with a splash of color, and the same holds true for the inside of your salon. A good bright paint job is sure to lighten up the space, as well as create an appearance of cleanliness.

This is especially important because all the product used inside your shop tends to stick and build upon the walls over time. Repaint it every few years or so to keep your salon looking nice and pristine.

Furniture update

Furniture and hairstyles both follow fashion. Keeping up with trends is crucial for making good impressions on prospects and converting them into customers. You don’t want their first experience in your salon to be sitting down in an old, battered chair from five years ago.

Quality furniture such as stylish and contemporary spa chairs should be thought of as an investment for salons, and a vital means of showing customers your care for detail.

Regularity

Don’t wait for long stretches of time to pass before revamping your salon. Follow this advice from Capital Hair and Beauty:

“Close the salon for a day or get everyone in on a Sunday and give the salon a good scrub. Supply loads of coffee and cakes then afterward take everyone out for a well-earned beer and pizza.”

The best way to keep your salon-fresh is to think simple and make revamping it a habit.
