Keeping Customers Comfortable and Cared for

Part of the reason why people go to a salon is to pamper themselves. They want to look their very best and to be able to enjoy the down time. It is relaxing to be in the chair and have your hair cut and coloured. In order to offer such services, the salon needs to be well set up. It should have various workstations so each hairdresser can easily access all they need to satisfy the hair care needs of every single customer.

Washing hair is very common when someone is going to get his or her hair cut or chemically treated. The chairs should be comfortable, and they should recline into the sink area. This allows the hair to be completely washed and the chemicals to be removed after the hair has been treated.

The Right Items

In a well-cared for salon, the setup is very efficient. The customers don’t feel like anything is lacking because their needs are continually met. Keeping the right salon supplies in stock ensures this continues to be the case. Customers need to be very comfortable from the minute they arrive until it is time to leave. The waiting area should have comfortable seating for them as well.

The station where they get their hair done needs to have chairs which can be raised or lowered. This allows the hairdresser to be able to have the customer sitting at the right level. With adjustable chairs, it doesn’t matter if the customer is 4 feet tall or 6 feet tall!

Think about what you would like to offer customers the most and then prioritise from there. Compare prices on items and look at their durability. You need your salon to look amazing but it also needs to be fully functional in all areas.

Specialty Services

Any salon offering specialty services needs to make sure they have the right equipment in place too. This ensures the client is able to relax and get the full benefit from such an experience. Massage tables are designed to allow the masseuse to walk around the client and be fully able to reach all areas of the body. The client can lie down on their stomach and have a section for their face to fit through so they don’t have to turn it to the side.

Pedicures and manicures are common speciality services offered in a salon setting. The chairs for pedicures often have a long back and a built-in massager that the client can control. The bottom part of the chair needs to have a basin for the feet to be soaked in.

It is an investment to have such items in the salon, but they have a purpose and they will keep customers returning. Invest in items that are flexible, versatile, and long lasting. You don’t want to have to replace such items frequently because they can’t hold up well to daily use in the salon. See what is out there and take inventory of what you need to get to make your salon the best.
