Practical Tips for Your Hair Salon
Good planning on designing your hair salon comes from the type of ambiance, comfort, and practicality. Are you in a small village, a medium-sized town, or a large city? What color scheme are you thinking about? In other words, country, conservative, or city? Will it be a family-oriented salon or are you considering servicing the career men and women more? All of these considerations need to be thought about before you paint your walls red or put up a pony seat in the corner to cut children’s hair.
This will help you with all of the upcoming decisions you will be making. For example, if you are not one who is patient with children, it might be wise not to have a children's corner or a playroom in the back of the hair salon for them. How could you work on the child’s mother if her darling keeps screaming and throwing temper tantrums because of the lack of attention?
I believe it was Socrates who said "Know Thyself." In this case, it means recognizing the limitations of your desires. Know what you want in the beginning and write it all down.

Color
Color is a big consideration when planning the decor of a hair salon. Most salons are neutrally colored with sand, beige, brown, metallic, or battleship gray walls with sand, beige, black, and sometimes gorgeous red stationary chairs. The pros of this type of design are that neutral colors will go with the lobby chairs and whatever you decide to put on the walls. This is a big plus with neutrals; they go with everything. Sometimes you will see wood-grained sets at the station and chairs.
If you are neutrally-minded, then go neutral. Everyone who has ever become famous has stepped outside of their comfort zone! Look out your window and you will realize that any shade of green that you are looking at will go with any color theme of your heart’s desire.
Green is neutral! Bold, daring walls of a vibrant, luminescent green trimmed with a pulsating rich blue will stop anyone in their tracks who walks through your door.
