5 Tips for Picking Out Salon Furniture

It’s finally happening! You’ve picked out the perfect space and are ready to start furnishing your dream salon. We’re so excited for you, and we know you’ll LOVE our StandishStuff as much as we do! 💜💚

Here are 5 questions to ask when choosing furniture for your new salon. Let’s make sure your salon is not only stylish but also functional and fabulous!

1. What kind of reception area would you like?

Your reception area is the first thing your clients see, so let’s make it count! Whether you’re running a bustling multi-service salon or a cozy, intimate space, the right reception area sets the tone.

  • Large Salon Vibes: If you’ve got a big space, go for a grand reception desk that can accommodate two or more receptionists. This way, you can handle multiple clients effortlessly and keep things smooth and organized.
  • Small But Mighty: Limited on space? A sleek pedestal-style desk will do the trick! And don’t forget comfy seating—not just for your clients, but for their friends tagging along too. Oversized seating is a must, giving everyone room to relax while maintaining social distancing.

2. What are your salon’s needs?

Think about what services your salon will offer. Is it strictly hair cuts, color, and styling? Or will you be adding eyebrow waxing, nails, and other pampering perks?

  • Multi-Purpose Magic: For salons offering a variety of services, multi-purpose furniture is a game-changer. Our All-Purpose Salon Styling Chairs are perfect if you’re doing both hair and waxing. Your client stays in one spot while you work your magic!

3. What is your color scheme?

Your salon should reflect your unique style and vibe. No matter what your design dreams are, we’ve got you covered with endless options!

  • Customization Craze: A single Standish American-made styling chair offers more than 30 different, unique configurations. Yep, you read that right! Whether you’re into bold colors or calm neutrals, you’ll find something that fits your aesthetic perfectly.

4. How much storage space do you need?

Storage is key to keeping your salon looking sleek and organized. No one likes clutter!

  • Storage Savvy: Think about your daily products and services. Do you need styling stations with ample storage and wire hiding capabilities like our Glo LED line? Or maybe a minimalist tower station is more your style. Whatever your needs, make sure your stations are both functional and fabulous!

5. Do you need retail space?

Retail products can be a great addition to your salon as a "silent salesperson", offering clients the full package—and boosting your bottom line!

  • Retail Ready: If you need plenty of retail space, opt for a large display that showcases all your products beautifully. For smaller salons, a compact display like the Luminesse American-Made Retail Display fits perfectly into corners, maximizing your space without cramping your style.
