These shampoo chairs look sooo comfy. I don't know where to find them though. I like how the stylists can stand behind the bowl and not have to contort their body:

Then again this style is nice, too. I'd want full length mirrors, hardwood floors and lots of light in the styling stations:

Clean lines:

 

[sweetpeadst]

I love those where did you find those pics?

 

[cupcakes]

i would make everything pink

 

[sweetpeadst]

Bumping for more ideas!

 

[sweetpeadst]

SOME HELP PLEASE IM BEGGING?

 

[Nola Darling]

That's too cute!

 

[MrsWatson]

I don't have pics....but i would have one big open space....no corners to walk around and doors to go through...everything would be out in the open...have u ever seen "why did i get married" when they were in Angelas salon? I thought that looked nice...

 

[sweetpeadst]

Yeah her salon was nice!

It would be a cross between a swank/girlie clothing boutique, hotel lobby and spa. I of think Jonathan Adler and Kelly Wearstler (of kwid) with stylish elements like full length mirrors in front of each station. I love how when I go to the salon they store their products etc. out of view so everything is "clean" and clean lines. I love partitions blocking the reception desk from the rest of the space...

^this is an example of the long mirrors in front of each station! and the shelving to hid products

yea something classy i like the first pics up top.

That salon that was in Why Did I get Married ive been to it used to be Nseya in the Midtown area. Now they have one salon in Buckhead...but anyway

they have like a water fountain type thing when you walk in very classy.

nice hard wood floors. I always like this look in salons.

 

[sweetpeadst]

All of these are great! Keep them coming!

 

[sweetpeadst]

Bump! Getting closer to time!

 

[Keedah]

I would go sleek and modern with pops of color

 

[simplie_lovable]

Oh great I am enjoying this thread. Keep the pictures coming let me go do some research myself.

I like the ideas in these threads. The salon I visit is sooooo tacky. The owner really thinks it looks good too.

She has multicolored mirrors and chairs, each station is a different color and the walls are red. Then she has these paintings on the wall that don't match or go with the decor.

I really don't like going there but I love my stylist. People don't realize that a lot of clients won't even step foot in your salon if it does not look right.

She's lucky I was with my stylist before this tacky looking place existed it's not something I would have walked into off of the street.

OP, are you going to open a salon?

 

[redecouvert]

I would like to chime in. I love hair salons and haven't been there since I went natural.
Out of all the salons I've been to, two hair salons really made an impression on me.
Both of them had a spa mood
In the first one, you walk in, there are candles and a receptionist who take your name/ your coat, ask you to wait and whether you'd like a cup of tea , a beverage or water
I love the privacy of that hair salon because the washing area/ conditioning area was separated from the styling area.
The bathroom was nicely decorated too!
I also love the fact that we all had a chart stating what we did, scheduling my next appointment, which products I used etc.
She also had specials. For instance wednesdays was senior discount, fridays,students discounts, etc..

The second one also had a receptionist and you were given a locker and a robe
You also had complimentary beverage and depending on the service, fresh-baked cookies. For instance if you had a steam treatment, you had a biscotti or cookie.
for me, that made the experience so enjoyable and special. I was sad when i had to go home

 

[myxdchiick]

I want it to look like this BUT minus those chairs, they look soooooo uncomfortable.
I want an in-home salon....and perhaps brighter lighting..
three styling stations with 2 or 3 Pibbs wall-mounted dryers to save space.

 

[sweetpeadst]

I am thinking

But in black color would be all over these pretty white chairs

with either black, gray and tiffany blue as the colors or black, gray and eggplant as my colors!

 

[Kranbery]

That's so exciting. I hope it works out well.

I like this pic because the salon is spacious and the colors and set-up are warm and inviting. I can't stand going to a salon that is empty and cold. It just seems like they rented a building and put some equipment in it. Not very inviting in my opinion.

This chair looks sooo comfortable.

[sweetpeadst]

Beautiful pics ladies this is so helpful! I get more ideas with each pic!

 

[sweetpeadst]

Anymore ideas ladies! This is very helpful!

 

[Rocky91]

it'd be mostly white, with pops of black here and there.
and I'd rotate blown-up black-and-white images of consenting clients on the walls..if i wasn't so lazy i'd look up pictures to show what i'm talking about.

 

[Maracujá]

I am thinking

This is so classy, I really like it.

 

[Kranbery]

So OP, are there any updates?
