Designing a manicure salon requires a comprehensive approach from a designer or a professional at home. It is necessary to take into account the style, color schemes, ergonomics of furniture and its arrangement, practicality of decorative materials for further cleaning and disinfection. What details should not be missed when planning the design of manicure and pedicure rooms in the salon and at home? Let's look at a number of examples with photos and recommendations from professionals.
Kazan
A number of requirements may be put forward for organizing the interior of a nail salon. And not only the owners, but also SanPiN 2.1.2.2631-10. The main characteristics boil down to the following areas: aesthetics and design, ergonomics, permissible footage, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting, microclimate, interior decoration, water supply.
All this must be taken into account when creating a design for a manicure or pedicure room. It can be part of a salon, or act as a separate unit, equipped in an apartment or a separate designated area of a shopping center, for example, nail bars. Depending on this, the key characteristics of the interior and technical parameters required by the SES in accordance with SanPiN 2.1.2.2631-10 are adapted.

Let's look at interior options for nail salons with photos, as well as the possibilities of designing and organizing an ergonomic space in a nail salon or in an apartment.
Popular beauty salon design styles
The interior of a beauty salon is in many ways the business card of the establishment, so the issue of the artistic style of the interior is especially acute. A harmonious combination of elements, the search for originality and a special zest are always relevant when creating a designer interior. You will find examples of a brilliant solution to this complex problem in the review of the interiors of small beauty salons from designers Ruslan and Maria Green.
Classic
Modern temple of beauty in classical style
Palace luxury, a refreshing palette of sea-green shades and an atmosphere of solemn elation can instantly lift the spirits of visitors to this temple of beauty. The idea of “selling design” for a beauty industry establishment was ideally embodied in this project by designers Ruslan and Maria Green. A trip to a salon with such an interior turns into a holiday, which means that it will definitely win the recognition of regular clients.

Modern style
Modern salon interior with polymer flooring
The interior of a small beauty salon on Pilyugina Street can be described as a mixture of modern style with elements of futurism and art deco. But this is not its originality: the highlight of the interior is nothing more than a floor with a polymer coating, similar to a bright red-blue-blue palette with colors smeared in fancy swirls. Against the background of a motley canvas, all other details recede into the background.
Design of a hairdressing salon in a modern style
The predominance of white in the rest of the interior avoids the feeling of overload and contributes to the visual expansion of the space.
Ecominimalism
Interior design of the main hall in a beauty salon
Light wood tones and monochromatic matte nude shades that dominate this interior immediately evoke associations with the porcelain color of ideal skin. Pleasant textures in the decoration of the room help clients relax and harmonize their senses. Plants basking in the sun in phytoboxes, greenery in tubs and luxurious inflorescences blooming on designer wallpaper enhance the notes of eco-style.
Fashionable eclecticism
Original design of the hairdressing area in a beauty salon
The complex stylistic ensemble of this beauty salon is built on contrasting combinations of neoclassical and modern trends interspersed with Art Deco and Art Nouveau. Colorful accents are placed throughout the hair salon area: flirty chairs with bright rococo upholstery are playfully positioned opposite futuristic black plastic armchairs. The masks on the walls matched them, reminiscent of either a Venetian carnival or totemic images.
Radical futurism
Futuristic interior of Cool People beauty salon
In the minimalist and ultra-modern interiors of the “Cool people” salon, there is a feeling that we have found ourselves in a parallel universe, entirely consisting of broken lines and illuminated by white neon light. Splashes of pink, lilac, blue and red alternate with black “dips” and bright white fragments in the design of the walls and floor. Futuristic furniture chosen to match the finish could look just as natural in the interiors of an interstellar liner.
Scandinavian style elements
Salon interior with Scandinavian style elements
The blue and white interiors of this modern beauty salon exude the coolness and freshness of Scandinavian forests. Characteristic inclusions of wooden panels and phytoboxes allow you to feel close to nature and give pleasant peace.
Reception area and manicure room in a modern beauty salon
There are almost no “external” elements in the decor: the feeling of “fullness” of the interior arises due to contrasting combinations of surfaces and the play of textures. Fragments of smooth walls alternate with the ribbed surface of white columns and wooden inserts with a pronounced horizontal pattern.
Color spectrum
Nail artists work with color. The right choice of shades is the key to obtaining excellent results and, as a result, the gratitude of satisfied customers. This means that all possible factors that could distort the color in the work area should be excluded. Leave bright photo wallpapers and graffiti for the reception area and waiting room. They discard reflexes, thereby changing the true colors. Therefore, in areas for procedures, the walls should be light.
Selection of color palette for the manicure salon. Principles of shade compatibility
Achromatic color scheme – a combination of black and white colors – fills the interior with regularity and order. This color scheme is applicable in any interior. It would look most appropriate in dynamic high-tech, extraordinary loft, restrained classics, African ethnics, ascetic Japanese and Scandinavian styles. When using black and white, the main thing is not to overdo it with one of the colors. An abundance of white can make the studio look like a treatment room, and an excess of black can make it look like a gloomy dungeon.
Monochrome range - skillfully selected shades of the same color. For example, blue is in alliance with cobalt, cornflower blue and soft blue. Or green together with delicate mint and cheerful lime. The idea of a monochromatic interior may seem boring, but with skillful selection of colors and textures it will become surprisingly expressive. The same shade looks completely different on glossy, matte, metal surfaces, and in textiles.
A similar combination is the combination of two or three colors adjacent to the Itten circle. This technique allows you to get interesting combinations. For example, lilac with cold pink and blue or burgundy with eggplant and red rust. The palette will be diluted with neutral shades - milky, white, gray, beige, black.
Contrasting tones are two colors placed on opposite sides of the color wheel. In another way, they are called complementary - when they are together, they enhance each other’s brightness. This effect can be achieved by combining purple and yellow, green and red. For the interior of a nail salon, it is better to use light, contrasting shades; they will not overload the design and at the same time will appear to the maximum. A tandem of rich colors will be appropriate in accent decor.
Planning solutions for a small beauty salon
Layout of a small beauty salon
The portfolio of designers Ruslan and Maria Green presents various planning solutions for designing small salons. In conditions of limited space, it is hardly worth allocating a separate room for a reception area or recreation area. They can be arranged by zoning the main hall, where a nail salon is usually located. Manicure and pedicure areas are often combined in one space. Sometimes a long and fairly wide corridor is suitable for this purpose, along which you can place a counter and chairs for clients. Small isolated rooms are well suited for equipping a cosmetology room or massage room.
Selecting a room
The presentable appearance of the salon and skilled craftsmen are an important criterion for visitors. But for an enterprise to truly become successful, you need to choose the right premises.
Main criteria:
- Square. If there is one master of 15 sq.m. working in the studio. m. will be enough.
- Location. In areas with high traffic, it is much easier to ensure an uninterrupted flow of customers.
- Accommodation. The office can be organized in a separate room, in a shopping center building or in an apartment on the ground floor of a residential building. The latter is unprofitable - rent is high, and unused areas will be empty. The apartment will have to be transferred to non-residential stock, and this will be extra expenses and hassle.
- Transport accessibility.
It is more profitable to locate a nail salon in a shopping center. Here you won’t have to spend money on decoration and paperwork, and a continuous flow of visitors will provide a stable income. The opening hours of the shopping center must correspond to the working hours of the nail salon.
Reception area

The reception area of the Kolibri beauty salon is combined with a waiting area and a manicure room. The open plan fills the space with air and light, and design features including seamless doors and a built-in wardrobe with mirrored fronts make the reception area feel like an aristocratic salon.
Visual expansion of space: techniques
Even the smallest manicure room can be visually expanded with the help of several design techniques. Use white or light beige tones that go up. Light stretch ceilings will add space.
Buy simple, medium-sized furniture and decorate it with simple decor in the form of a vase of flowers or a beautiful table lamp. Then the furniture itself will not attract primary attention.
Hong Kong
Use mirrors to decorate walls that are in the customer's main attention area. Reflective surfaces expand the space, and it will be more interesting for clients to look at themselves in the mirror without studying the room so closely. Good ceiling, wall, and table lighting expands the space.

Magnificent picturesque inflorescences are the first to greet clients of the OK beauty salon in Israel. Against the background of the accent wall is a stand finished with natural light wood veneer and an original panel imitating a slab of semi-precious stone. All these details set the style and palette of the beauty establishment, forming its image in the eyes of visitors.

A cozy space for meeting visitors is allocated into a separate area and decorated with stained glass in the Art Nouveau style and glass sconces selected to match it. The carriage screed on the velvet upholstery of the counter gives the interior an elegant touch of antiquity.

The color accents in the reception interior echo the bright upholstery of the chairs in the hairdressing salon and the decorative masks on the wall.
Lighting
The specifics of the activity dictate special requirements for the lighting of the manicure room using general light and additional devices. The placement of local lighting fixtures depends on the arrangement of manicure tables and chairs. You can compensate for the lack of light using a table lamp. The reception area also requires good lighting. If spotlights do not cope, it is worth providing pendant devices. In the waiting room, a floor lamp next to the client chair is appropriate. It will not only make reading fashion magazines easier, but will also create a cozy homely atmosphere.
Nail salon design ideas
Traditional interior solution
Manicure room of a beauty salon in Scandinavian style
One of the advantages of this traditional nail salon, which has a long counter with seating for customers, is that it saves space. Such a manicure studio is easy to equip even in a small room or in a corridor. All the necessary nail care products can be found in the glass cabinet behind the counter.
Reception area and nailbar
Small plasma TVs hang almost from the ceiling so that visitors to the salon do not get bored during the procedure.
Symmetrical arrangement of tables along the walls of the corridor
Planning solution for a manicure room in a beauty salon
If there is a long spacious corridor and the absence of partitioned rooms, zoning the space becomes a suitable option. A manicure room with a small podium for pedicures smoothly transitions into a hairdressing salon. Visually, they are separated from each other by stylized metal columns, developing a classic theme, and dark curtains, which, if necessary, can be closed to separate the rooms.

The walls of the manicure room are decorated with decorative panels, classic pilasters and cornices, effectively contrasting with the loft-type ceiling. The eclecticism of the interior is also reflected in the furnishings - modern office chairs on wheels coexist harmoniously with classic armchairs, and the design of the tables incorporates elements of minimalism and art deco.
Manicure room with self-leveling floor
Interior of a manicure salon by designers Ruslan and Maria Green
In the interior of this salon, with a rectangular crystal chandelier and a multi-colored polymer floor, the space for the manicure area is very limited. However, the designers found an excellent solution by slightly moving the chairs for visitors in relation to the main counter and using mirror surfaces in the wall decoration.
Decor in watercolor colors
No matter how limited the studio space is, there is enough space for specialists to work and for clients to wait comfortably.
Materials and finishing methods
The main requirement for finishing is that it must be made of high-quality safe materials so as not to cause harm to the health of salon employees and its visitors. The second condition is that the coatings should be made of smooth and detergent-resistant materials. The walls in a manicure studio are covered with a variety of materials. They can be painted or finished with tiles, mosaics, wallpaper, natural stone, textured plaster, glass, and mirrors. For the floor you need to choose safe non-slip coatings. Suitable matte tiles, laminate, porcelain tiles, self-leveling coating, parquet boards, metlakh tiles, tempered glass as an accent piece.
The materials used for finishing must be accompanied by certificates confirming their safety and compliance with established standards.
Pedicure room

Refreshing turquoise tones
A successful zonal solution for a pedicure area
Elegant turquoise curtains to match the furniture delimit the pedicure area and, if necessary, allow you to separate a small room from the rest of the salon space. A small decoration in the form of a flock of flying white butterflies on the wall harmoniously complements the minimalist interior.
Pedicure chairs on a podium with lighting
Eclectic design of the pedicure area
In the eclectic interior of a fashionable beauty salon in Moscow, the pedicure area, on the contrary, is combined with a manicure room. An unusual luminous podium allows you to visually highlight the space allocated for this purpose, and at the same time provides bright lighting for studio specialists.
Description of the industry and company
Currently, the Russian beauty industry market is witnessing the active development of manicure services. In the structure of demand for beauty salon services, manicure services occupy almost 40%. In recent years, the beauty industry market has seen the emergence of many highly specialized salons that focus their activities specifically on providing manicure services. The capacity of the Russian market for manicure services over the past 5 years has grown by 111% and in 2015 amounted to 232 billion rubles. The quantitative volume of the market is growing every year, and along with this, the price of manicure services is also increasing. At the end of 2015 alone, prices for this type of service increased by 40%.
Experts expect that the Russian market for manicure services will continue to develop dynamically. This will be facilitated by rising incomes, weak market saturation in local areas, fashion trends, and the development of the global beauty industry.
Today, the demand for nail salon services is quite high. According to statistics, in 2015 the share of Russian women who regularly use the services of nail salons was 55%. The results of a survey conducted among 10,000 respondents indicate that 42% of manicurists serve from 11 to 30 clients per week, and 23% of masters serve more than 30 clients. The manicure service market is characterized by a high level of competition. Nail salons are presented in different formats and areas: in every shopping center, in the city center, residential areas and even in private nail salons at home.
Despite the high level of competition observed in the market, the niche of specialized nail salons is not completely filled. The number of nail salons in New York is about 1,300, while in Moscow there are about 300. Based on this, we can conclude that there are great opportunities for the development of the Russian market for manicure services. Stable demand for manicure services remains even in an economic crisis. According to VTsIOM, in 2015, only 1% of the female population said that due to rising prices they were forced to give up beauty procedures, which included manicures.
Advantages of business in the field of nail services:
- Business relevance.
The culture of doing manicures in specialized salons came to Russia relatively recently, and the fashion for professional manicures is becoming more and more firmly established among the country’s female population;
- Lack of seasonality of business
, year-round demand;
- Does not require large investments.
There are several nail salon formats (from economical nail bars to large-scale salons) designed for any budget;
- Does not require serious knowledge in business and finance
, therefore, is a suitable startup option for aspiring entrepreneurs;
- Possibility of expanding the range of services
;
- Basic level of profitability 20-25%
.
The main disadvantages of the nail salon business:
- High level of competition.
Despite the potentially high capacity, competition in the market is quite high. To attract customers, you need to constantly introduce new technologies in the field of nail services, use marketing tools and build your client base;
- The need for constant monitoring
of service levels
. To retain a client, you need to constantly maintain a high level of service. For nail salons, a one-time client visit is not so important as a long-term relationship with him; - High demands on professionalism.
Every year these requirements for a manicurist become more stringent: professional standards change, new technologies are introduced, and new trends emerge. Often, the professionalism of the master determines the client’s loyalty.
- Difficulties related to consumables.
With the growing popularity of nail salons, the market for manicure accessories is developing. In this regard, a huge number of little-known and not always high-quality suppliers appear. Therefore, it is necessary to navigate professional product brands in order to purchase high-quality consumables.
Hair salon design

Eclectic decoration of the hairdressing room in a fashionable beauty salon
The hair salon is separated from the manicure-pedicure area by two columns and a heavy black curtain, which seems to be an organic continuation of the black-tiled ceiling. Looking at their reflection framed by playful Rococo forms and classic pilasters, the salon’s clients will be able to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the boudoir of a high-society fashionista.
Through the looking glass in a modern salon
Hairdressing salon in a beauty salon on Pilyugina Street
The interior of the hairdressing salon in this small and cozy beauty salon looks unusual not only thanks to the multi-colored polymer coating on the floor, but also due to the decoration of the walls using mirror panels located exactly opposite each other. The result is a suite of reflections stretching into the distance, inviting you to embark on a fascinating journey in the footsteps of the famous heroine of Lewis Carroll.
Illusory suite in Scandinavian style

The designers use a similar technique for arranging mirrors in the hairdressing salon in the design of this beauty salon in a modern style. Rectangular mirrors resemble doorways, turning the mirror space into an endless string of arches, flickering with a mysterious white light thanks to the built-in lighting. A real path to Valhalla, given the Scandinavian context of the interior.
Choose a concept
The concept of your future manicure “enterprise” is the basis of your success or... failure. To determine what your future nail business will be, you need to research the market of existing services and potential consumers. Focus on a specific location: nail services are always more in demand at the place of residence, less often at the place of work (especially since “remote work” now greatly interferes with the activities of salons designed for employees of certain enterprises). Decide what will be of interest to potential clients (beautiful or modest interiors, low or premium price, quick four-handed service or leisurely spa care, emphasis on manicure/pedicure or nail extensions, etc.). If you're new to the industry, consider purchasing a franchise.

Massage room in a futuristic beauty salon from designers Ruslan and Maria Green
The massage room in a fashionable beauty salon, decorated in a futuristic style, is more reminiscent of a treatment room, which is equipped on some secret space station or on board an intergalactic liner. Broken lines, white, blue and black colors, and the absence of flat, monochromatic surfaces in the interior design deprive the space of static and charge it with powerful energy.
The calming influence of nature
Interior of a beauty salon in Scandinavian style. Massage room
The interior of a massage room in an elegant beauty salon, designed by designers Ruslan and Maria Green, immerses the visitor in a “natural” context due to the abundance of warm colors and the use of wood motifs in the design of the room. The muted flickering of the lighting hidden behind the wooden panels fills the space with a special magic, imparting the character of a sacrament to the entire massage procedure.
Perfect style
The leader in interior style remains the same classic. Many beauty salon owners are confident that expensive wood species, discreet color accents, and elegant furniture attract clients. The noble design supports the main goal of the establishment - to make its visitors just as luxurious.
The ethnic direction of the salon immerses city ladies in a kind of exoticism. Natural materials (wood, bamboo, bast, leather) give the interior the natural beauty that all women strive for. Such a design is impressive and sets the mood for a positive and charming transformation. Ethnic style allows you to embody a lot of ideas: beautiful India, warm Africa or the refined lines of Ancient Greece. Such exoticism fills the room with a special personality and gives pleasant associations that have a beneficial effect on the mind.
High-tech is an excellent solution for small rooms that require laconicism and minimalism. Furniture with a metallic sheen, matte plastic, and transparent glass are characteristic features of the high-tech style for a compact beauty salon.
Of course, a beauty salon is a path to beauty, which means its very appearance should be an aesthetically memorable sight. But whatever the ideal interior of the salon, its main purpose is to give visitors the desired new look.
Solarium
Futuristic interior
Designer design of a solarium in a futuristic beauty salon
Against the backdrop of a giant photographic print that seems to dissolve in the black opening of the wall, a person seems like a grain of sand in endless outer space. And the glowing blue opening seems not to be the entrance to the solarium, but a portal, if not to a parallel reality, then at least to the other end of the galaxy.
Financial indicators
This aspect deserves special attention. The nail business is attractive because it does not require large investments to start
Anyone who has at least some savings at their disposal can start it. Opening a manicure salon is associated with the following expense items:
- Rent of premises - 15,000 rubles. But here you need to take into account the fact that the cost may differ in different regions.
- Repair and interior decoration - from 50,000 rubles. The exact amount depends on the specific design project.
- Purchase of equipment - about 70,000 rubles.
- Purchase of consumables - 20,000 rubles.
- Advertising expenses - 15,000 rubles.
In addition to one-time investments, every month you will have to pay rent and utilities, purchase materials and pay wages to employees, which on average is 30-50 percent of net profit. Thus, to begin with, it will be enough to have approximately 200,000 rubles at your disposal. If we talk about profitability, it is at a fairly high level due to the constant demand for manicure services. As statistics show, one average beauty salon brings in an average of 120 to 200 thousand rubles, of which about 50-70 thousand remains for the business owner. Thus, the time to reach break-even level is only 3-5 months. However, in business it is impossible to predict all scenarios, so it is better to stick to more pessimistic forecasts. Do not expect that you will start making consistent money from the first day of opening. Until you form a regular customer base, you shouldn’t even think about any high income.
Tattoo room
Butterfly effect in the interior of a fashionable beauty salon
Fantasy print in the tattoo room of a fashionable beauty salon
This is not the first time that the image of a butterfly has been used in the design of this fashion salon. Giant bas-reliefs on the walls and small flocks of flying snow-white creatures are repeatedly found in the interiors of the room. But in the tattoo area, for the first time we see on the wall not a white, but a butterfly shimmering with bright colors as a symbolic reminder of the purpose of this cabinet and at the same time - a tribute to the skill of a specialist in magical transformations.
A whole room dedicated to working with clients
If you are lucky enough to have a spacious apartment where there is room for all family members and for your work, then the best solution would be to allocate a separate room.
As for design, try to listen to yourself and your tastes. It is best that the walls are plain and not very annoying. These can be neutral shades or bright but soft colors. It is best to hang blinds on the windows; this will add some style and restraint to the room. Furniture, as we have already said, is better to choose light, preferably white. But the chairs for yourself and the client can be contrastingly bright. If you prefer the walls and furniture in light shades, then add more bright accents - pillows on the chairs, a flower pot, a photo frame or a decorative garland.
Organize your workplace in such a way that only the essentials are at hand. To stock supplies and other things, you can purchase a separate narrow cabinet with a door.

The interior of the beauty treatment room is distinguished by functionality and discreet elegance of design. The design symbol of the salon, a butterfly, appears in the form of a bas-relief on a dark beige wall and appears white on a fancy carved panel exactly opposite. The office is equipped with a modern shower cabin with massage nozzles and a comfortable chair that reproduces the curves of the human body.
A harmonious ensemble of style and functionality
Beauty salon treatment room with white walls and bright flooring
A small beauty salon cannot always boast a separate room for providing cosmetology services. However, with a functional approach, professional designers will be able to turn even a very small room into a cozy treatment room equipped with everything necessary. White furniture and shower stall, white walls and illuminated ceiling visually enlarge the room. Against this background, the visual and partly semantic emphasis is placed on the pale lilac massage chair. A spectacular multi-colored floor adds zest to the interior of the office and ensures artistic unity with the rest of the salon.
Nothing extra

A plain light background that blends with the color of the furniture and built-in lighting will help to visually expand the boundaries of a small beauty salon. The special aesthetics of this design solution is a combination of the principles of minimalism and eco-style.

How to decorate an office with taste
A beautiful manicure salon is the key to a good first impression. To create a cozy, inviting atmosphere indoors, you need to make a number of efforts that are guaranteed to lead you to success:
- plenty of light and air. You shouldn’t equip a studio in a basement or closet; even a loggia will be the lesser of two evils. A bright space is a priori conducive to productive work;
- the prevalence of several colors in the interior. Don’t think that a beige or white shade is boring and uninteresting; by adding a couple of bright accents to them, you can regularly refresh the appearance of your mini-salon, but without having to repaint the walls every time;
- cleanliness of the room. Perhaps the most important rule of any master providing services in the field of beauty. An unpleasant smell, dust, dirt or running cockroaches are unacceptable things for a professional;
- add a few paintings, handmade panels or soft pillows, based on their relevance to your specific interior. This perfectly disposes and pacifies the client, creating an emotional attachment to the place.
.What to name a manicure and pedicure room There is a popular saying: whatever you name a ship, that’s how it will sail. The name of your salon should not be standard or, worse, outdated. Forget forever about options like: “Svetlana’s manicure studio,” “Irina’s,” or “Sharm.” Otherwise, you risk acquiring a reputation as a person with bad taste. There are several rules using which you can come up with a good naming for your small business:
- in the title, use a direct entry with the word “manicure”, which will simplify promotion on social networks and the Internet;
- write down the entire associative series that arises when you think about a manicure. Perhaps your pearl is hiding among this chaotic stream?
- use a title with name elements, but modifying them;
- original or provocative names, something that is guaranteed to stick in your memory and set you apart from your competitors.
.Advice for starting a manicure business at home. The requirements for a nail specialist are extremely high, but even they do not guarantee a stable income and a constant influx of clients. In order to realize yourself in the field of beauty and finger care, use life hacks carefully collected by the ProstoNail guide:
- Transform social networks like Instagram into a source of inspiration for your clients. We have already told you how to photograph a manicure beautifully, all that’s left to do is turn your profile into a Mecca for aesthetes;
- stay up to date with all trends and new products. By regularly leafing through glossy magazines, professional publications and watching TV shows about style, you can not only get a couple of ideas for nail art, but also attract new clients who also want to be “at the peak”;
- Before you invest all your hard-earned money into opening your own business at home, work in a stationary beauty salon. Hired labor is not so scary, but the client base accumulated over this period of time and invaluable experience are your main points in your personal development plan;
- create a system of bonuses and incentives, and promotions should be aimed not only at attracting new audiences, but also at retaining the old ones;
- learn new things. Advanced training courses are relevant not only for teachers, but also for employees of the salon business;
- experiment and develop your own style that will distinguish you from your competitors.
Never stop there and don’t give up in the face of difficulties, because every dream is just a collection of small steps towards your cherished goal. Let everything work out.

Bright and modern playroom in a trendy beauty salon
Few beauty centers offering spa services or beauty treatments, not to mention small beauty salons, can boast such a spacious and variedly decorated play area. While mothers visit the beauty salon, children can have a little sea adventure or play as colonial explorers in the play area, equipped with a wooden fort with a slide, a ship with ladder sails, a climbing wall and colorful poufs in the shape of a boat and giant exotic flowers.
Children's hairdresser "for the little ones"

Next to the play area, this beauty salon has a children's hairdressing salon, which even has a special car chair for the youngest visitors. The bright and fantasy design of the playroom will allow children to have an interesting time, even if mother is delayed in the procedures.
Equipment for a workplace in an apartment
To serve clients at home, it is necessary to allocate a work area. It can be placed in the living room, a spacious hallway and even on a glassed-in loggia. For a home mini-studio, compliance with sanitary requirements is important. It is necessary to disinfect equipment after each visitor and daily wet cleaning of the entire apartment. Failure to comply with hygiene can cause a negative reaction from clients, including a complaint to the SES. Provide disposable towels, shoe covers, and a separate hanger.
Original finds in the design of beauty salons

The cool blue-white interior with woody brown notes lacks fresh green shades to completely merge with nature. Large phytoboxes in the design of the staircase hall and reception area, as well as small splashes of greenery in the Scandinavian-style beauty salon add the finishing touch to the interior ensemble, carefully thought out by designers Ruslan and Maria Green.
Unusual photo prints in the powder room

The interior of a powder room in a futuristic beauty salon clearly demonstrates how the stylistic unity of space can be maintained through a successful design solution. Photo prints of women's legs covering the entire wall refer to the design of other rooms in this salon and provide the unity of futuristic minimalism. As well as the refraction of uneven black and white surfaces in combination with bright neon lighting.

Findings in the design of a beauty salon in a modern style
The design project of a small fashionable beauty salon on Pilyugina Street involves careful work with the interiors of all rooms, including utility rooms. The small staff room is decorated in the same style and color scheme as the entire salon. For decoration on the floor, the same polymer coating with bright spills was used as everywhere else. And the picture is complemented by multi-colored plastic chairs of similar colors and - an unexpected surprise - a pink elephant head in the spirit of cubism on the wall.
Decorative elements in the office
Accessories will help to enliven the interior of the studio, breathe into it the mood, and make the design complete. The choice of decor depends on the style implemented in the room. These can be bright posters, photo panels, paintings, false panels, various lamps, candles, installations, vases, and fresh flowers. The best decoration will be photographs of the work of the salon’s masters and certificates.
What is included in an interior design project?
