How to choose materials that withstand heavy use, chemicals and moisture while still looking elegant.
Flooring: the hardest-working surface in the salon
In hair and beauty salons, the floor faces castor chairs, constant foot traffic, hair dye and water every day. Durability, stain resistance and ease of cleaning should therefore be the first criteria.
Large-format porcelain tiles reduce the number of grout lines and create an elegant atmosphere with a marble look. In cutting areas, smooth surfaces make it easy to sweep up hair.
Counter and furniture surfaces
Counters at the styling stations come into contact with dye, heat and chemicals. Heat- and stain-resistant surfaces keep their original look for years.
Wet areas
Areas with backwash units call for highly moisture-resistant materials, and waterproofing must be carried out meticulously during installation. These details significantly reduce maintenance costs in the years ahead.
Balancing aesthetics and function
The best material is the one that suits your salon's concept and can withstand the demands of daily use. Seeing samples in the light of the space itself makes the right decision much easier.
- Choose surfaces that are easy to clean and stain-resistant
- Check resistance to heat and chemicals
- Opt for slip-resistant flooring in wet areas
- Assess colour and texture together with the lighting
