We have gathered the essentials for a salon or beauty salon that needs to know
anyone who intends to open their first salon.
In any case, this list will help you to see what you are missing, as well as to supply raw materials whenever they run out.
Reception
Let’s start with the reception area, which is the first place customers encounter when they enter your salon.
Here the essentials already start with the logo and the welcome mat.
Make sure that the first is visible and the second is clear.
Both this, and the whole reception area in general, as it gives the first impression.
The reception desk is also located in this area.
Keep in mind that it needs to be tidy,
organized
and clean.
It must have a POS payment system, a telephone, an appointment recording system,
the computer and the company’s corporate cards.
At the same time, this is where the furniture is located where customers can sit and wait for their appointment.
We would even suggest a brochure informing them about the
hours
, a magazine stand and of course appropriate lighting.
Grooming salon
Here the essentials have to do with the services offered and have little and no
maximum depending on the
clientele
your team serves.
So at the very least we would say that a bath, a chair, a toilet seat and a mirror belong to the essentials.
Here you can choose the furniture of your choice according to your needs, your style, the market prices,
as well as the resilience they have.
Take your time and find the right ones for you.
Don’t forget that it is the services you offer that will determine what it is that you need to purchase.
either as a one-time purchase, or you can purchase it at regular intervals depending on the needs of your space.
In the bathroom area, the essentials include the bath itself, the chair, the storage furniture,
the color bar, a waste bin, shampoos, dyes, brushes, bowls and of course
whatever else you’ve got in the routine of this place.
In the main treatment area, you will need the chairs for the clients, a different chair for the hairdresser,
mirrors, maybe a carpet and some fittings to hold the electrical appliances you use steady,
storage areas and of course trolleys and utility trays.
Conclusion
