The furniture is an essential thing, it is what makes it possible to create an atmosphere, an atmosphere in a room.
When we are in a hairdressing salon, this feeling of well-being is all the more important. Indeed,
when you go to your hairdresser it is often to allow yourself a moment of relaxation, and the environment must contribute to this pleasant and relaxing moment
Manage your space
The location of your living room will depend on the models chosen and their size.
This will determine the number of workstations: so remember to provide enough space to maintain your working comfort
(example: the wider the armrests, the more space you will need to provide around your cutting chairs to be able to circulate better).
Make sure that there is no disproportion between the cash register, the cutting chairs and the washing tubs: the ideal is therefore to take all of your furniture from the same collection.
For which clientele?
It is important to know the age group of your clientele.
Indeed, the older the clientele, the more the comfort of the seats and bowls should be favored (example: tray with tilting bowl and reclining backrest for better ergonomics).
For a younger clientele, we can allow ourselves a choice of more “designer” furniture.
In the case of a very varied clientele (age, sex,...) the furniture must be neutral with good comfort and a touch of modernism (example: new massage techniques, new generation basin,...).
Manage your budget
Before any project study, it is important to know the budget and the financing that you will be able to devote to it.
Privilege the choice of your furniture and your colors in the first place; then solicit painters, tilers, electricians...,
who will be able to establish their quotes and guide you in the choice of materials according to the style of furniture that you have previously chosen.
List their needs
Depending on the surface of your premises and the number of active people, you can define the ideal number of workstations.
Think about creating a “separate” space for special services, such as: bridal hairstyles, make-up, hair extensions, treatments, etc.
If the surface allows it, a child styling place is always very appreciated.
Remember to determine the type of workstations you will need according to the time devoted to each service
(example: use of arm-mounted or free-standing treatment devices, waiting area, sales area, etc.).
Aesthetics
To be in harmony with the spirit of the place, the style, the materials and the line of the different elements must be at the center of the reflection. Moreover,
it is often difficult to project through the images of a catalog compared to the reality of one's own workspace.
Space management
Space management must take into account the size of the furniture and the number of elements to be installed to optimize the feeling of comfort for customers and avoid any feeling of suffocation.
The practical aspect
Material can be very aesthetic but unsuitable for the workstation involving uncomfortable positions,
postural constraints at the origin of many musculoskeletal disorders. Painful and disabling,
MSDs are very common among beauty professionals, most often affecting the upper limbs.
Fabric Care
No fabric is guaranteed against stains and attacks of all kinds
Never use products such as pliz, bleach, ajax, leather wax, etc.
Never use products containing acetone
Never use scouring powder or cream such as cif, ajax, etc.
Never use sponges with an abrasive part (jex pad, scotch brite sponge, etc.)
Never let dye products stagnate on the fabrics.
Routine maintenance
The fabrics must be maintained very regularly in order to retain their original luster and luminosity.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight alters light colours.
Clean with lukewarm water with a soft, damp sponge, added with soap (Marseille soap).
Alternative
Avoid dropping or knocking the upholstery with utensils such as: scissors - trolleys - brooms - vacuum cleaners - ...,
and ensure that friction caused by jeans with zippers, studs and other steel accessories,
do not bruise the fabrics (as well as the chrome of the “scratched” armrests) cause snags, scratches, etc., and seriously damage the upholstery.
The furniture must be regularly maintained, in the same way as furniture for private use
Maintenance of shampoo basins
Checking the condition of your equipment once a year will allow you to prolong the life of your furniture
Never use destop in wash bowls
Never use products containing acetone
Never use scouring powder or cream such as cif, ajax, etc.
Never use sponges with an abrasive part (jex pad, scotch brite sponge, etc.)
Never let dye products stagnate in the bowl for more than 5 minutes without rinsing the bowl.
Avoid dropping utensils into the bowl (example: scissors, glass bottles, etc.).
For a Plexiglas bowl, it will break; for a ceramic bowl, this will either cause a chip or crack.
Never let dye products fall on the housings of the bins, or upholstery without immediate cleaning.
Cleaning Plexiglas Items
Pure water, a sponge and a soft cloth are sufficient to clean Plexiglas items.
Fresh stains (less than 5 minutes) can be removed more easily using hot water with a household product (mir).
A shock will cause either a crack or a chip and therefore a hole.
Maintenance of melamine and laminate wood
Never use products containing acetone
Never use scouring powder or cream such as cif, ajax, etc.
Never use sponges with an abrasive part (jex pad, scotch brite sponge, etc.)
Never use cleaning products sold in supermarkets (wax, pliz, etc.)
Never let dye products stagnate without immediate cleaning with a soft, damp sponge.
Avoid dropping utensils on the wood.
Cleaning Melamine & Laminate Items
Pure water, a sponge and a soft cloth are enough to clean.
Fresh stains (less than 5 minutes) can be removed more easily using hot water with a household product (mir) or Marseille soap.
Dry with a kitchen towel.
To be avoided imperatively
Pure alcohol - acetone - perchlorethylene - trichlorethylene - all solvents - detergents - stain removers - abrasive cleaning products - all kinds of waxes...
Avoid dropping or knocking the wood with utensils such as: scissors - briefcases - blows with the armrests of the seats - hot straightening iron,
... this will cause shocks, "splinters", burns or scratches which cannot be repaired and will remain visible.
