You will need a mirror no matter what kind of a beauty salon you have. It’s the most essential item for every salon design. Today we are left with a ton of choices for styling mirrors and every type of salon furniture. It’s hard to pick the right one if you don’t know what you really need. We will help you decide on what kind of a mirror you need for your salon and a few tips on picking the best mirror for your salon.
Size of the mirror
The first and most important factor of getting the right sized mirror is your salon size. If you have a small salon, it’s better to have one huge mirror mounted on the wall to give the illusion of a bigger place. If you have a bigger salon you are left with a choice. You can get a big enough mirror for every salon chair and leave the space between chairs empty or put a divider of your choice. You know your needs best. If you need a more visible area you should get a bigger mirror.
Color and style of the frame
There are literally thousands of choices for a mirror frame. Every kind of color, every kind of design and style. You can get a simple, one-colored frame or a frame wooden frame with carvings. This really depends on your salon design and your preferences. Get darker frames if you have a darker salon. You can even go with the option of a frame-less mirror but they rarely look good.Bigger frames take more space so if you have a smaller salon or you need more space, don’t get mirrors with huge frames.
Mirror lights
A lot of salons put lights around their mirrors and for a good reason. They make the mirror look better and they provide better visibility for both you and your client. There’s tons of choices for lights – you can even use LED strips that are very cheap and available in different colors. You can put the lights behind the mirror and they will look great. Just remember, though, not to get too bright lights as they will have a bad effect on people’s eyes.
These tips will help you choose the right mirror for your salon. Always use common sense and consult with your team or other salon design professionals. What kind of a mirror is your favorite?
