You're probably scratching your head right now, perplexed. You've probably heard that excellent customer service, a well-thought-out marketing strategy, and a well-implemented loyalty program all contribute to increase sales, but why should your furniture be one of them? Aren't they more suited to, you know, making staff and clients comfortable – and that's it? What relationship does your choice of hair salon chairs or desks have with the amount of money you make? As absurd as it may seem, there is a method to transform your
necessary salon equipment into a money machine, and it has nothing to do with the sort of furniture you should acquire, but rather with how you use it. How are you going to do it? Continue reading to learn more!
With all of that stated, what are the must-haves in terms of hair salon furniture?
Desk in a hair salon
Most significantly, the welcome desk should be the right size. And, before you even consider the aesthetics, make sure it's at the right height for your receptionist to work comfortably. Because they'll be sitting for long periods of time, it's critical that the furniture you choose doesn't cause them back, neck, or arm pain.
Table in a salon
Things get a little trickier when it comes to the hair styling stations. How many tools you wish to keep and how much you anticipate on using your trolley will determine how much space you need. The current trend is to keep the station as clean and uncluttered as possible. Keeping all of your cosmetics and styling tools lying about is no longer considered professional. A hair salon table nowadays is more of a vanity for the client than a traditional style station for the hairdresser.
Trolley for the hair salon
The stylist's best buddy is a trolley (or cart). They enable you to keep your equipment close at hand without clogging up your styling station. A decent hair salon trolley should have a separate area for holding hot tools, be easy to clean, have a lock, and have enough drawers and storage space. Another thing to remember is that the height of a trolley should be determined by whether or not the stylist prefers to work standing or seated. Because most hairdressers move around a lot, especially during a long session, a cart with an adjustable height is a good idea.
Shampoo station in a hair salon
You can pick between separate bowls and chairs or a complete backwash system, depending on your needs (where the bowl and the chair are attached to one another). The first is usually the less expensive choice, which is preferred by tiny salons with limited space and cash, whilst the latter is unquestionably more expensive, but also preferred by clientele.
Chairs for hair salons
In hair salons, a variety of chairs are utilized, ranging from the more traditional (receptionist chairs) to more specialized ones (styling chairs, dryer chairs, shampoo chairs, stylist stools). You may not require all of them, depending on the equipment you have (or plan to purchase) and the services you provide. Advanced shampoo and drying stations, for example, frequently include built-in chairs.
