Design ideas for a nail bar and beauty salon.

13 years ago
Hi all, I am desperately looking for image ideas on contemporary-modern set-up of a Nail bar and beauty salon. I am flaunting around the long cushioned bench idea for the pedicure set-up, 4 nice treatment rooms with different themes. So I need as many image ideas as possible. I have attached some images with similar designs I am looking for. I also need very nice design for a reception desk. Where on houzz can I find the section for beauty salon ideas if its there. Thank you.

    I don't think they have an area for commercial properties ! Have you tried google images ?

    Thank you so much for the great ideas. I also thought long and hard about the comfort and privacy, and I am glad you aired it out as well. Basically. I was thinking of making the bench super comfortable and have curtains for privacy. Do you think it can work? I am also interested in learning to do eyelashes, do you recommend any online school? I really appreciate your thoughts, let them keep coming all your experiences are super welcome.

    One thing I'd really like at my salon would be hooks on which to put my bag. I don't like putting my bag on the floor and like it near me so a little hook on/under the nail bench would be fab.

    Oh, I'd be fine with curtains. That way if you are there with a friend you old open it, or if somebody you don't know is beside you, it could just be closed off.

    This is my take on the design...are you going for quick in and out pedis or spa experience pedis? The difference is in the amount you can charge- a private pedicure can net you more money. If you are just doing a basic pedicure the bench seat will work. I know the pedicure chairs can be very expensive. There are other options though. The bench looks uncomfortable. Google spa pedicure seating and tons of images come up. A more private pedicure you can charge $10 - $15 more for. I personally do not like looking at a strangers toe nails so would not get a pedicure right next to someone I didn't know....but that's just me. I did nails for 10 years and found my clients preferred the private pedicure experience. Best of luck in you new adventure!!

    Thank you all for the brilliant ideas, suggestions and concerns. Kindly make a choice between these two designs I will attach pictures. The bench set-up will 1) will have a slight reclined back with extra cushions for comfort, in addition to that, I will add on a back chair massager for a more therapeutic experience 2) I am going to leave space of about 2 ft between each seat to afford clients personal space and privacy, in addition to privacy, I will hang up curtains that can be drawn or opened, 4) my idea for bench sitting tends to be inexpensive, looks contemporary and very unusual and groups of friends can enjoy treatments while sitting together
    I have 4 treatment rooms that will have an egg chair each for more exclusive pedicure amongst other treatments.
    My second option if the bench option is not a hit within this discussion, I would consider the egg chair open plan set-up as in the picture. Kindly vote for the best set-up putting my plan of action of the bench set-up I highlighted above into consideration. Thank you in advance

    Yes, Houzz isn't geared at commercial properties so you won't find any on this site. I agree with Kellly on the chairs... fun and mod

    Hi Vimz so sorry for late reply. I wouldn't go the curtain route. if you can make the benches comfortable just expect to attract a more youthful clientele. I think a traditional massage chair, which I know isn't the hippest pieces of furniture but you can go with a trendier vibe in the waiting area, the flooring, and pain. Add a couple walls of wallpaper, that will add some style to the space. Yes I would look into doing lash extensions. It's such a hot service right now. I have a company that sells product and provides training all over the country. If you want to check us out www.eyelash-extensions.com Facebook is Shavasana Eyelash Extensions, as well as twitter and instagram. I'm not a 100% on online classes but I think 3d lashes and naturalash both offer online classes.

    Good luck with your space, and contact me anytime. Best, Barbara

    So sorry I just read your last post. I like #1 It gives some space in between, and your right great for friends. or kids, etc. What I don't like are the egg chairs. They look like they would slip around then you would be getting your nails done. It would be that experience where you have to hold your feet tight to make sure you don't roll away. Are you totally against the traditional massager, nail chair? What about a 0 gravity chair with massager. The client could recline back while getting their hands done, and then come forward for their feet. If you google zero gravity chairs, you can take a look at all the different kinds. Then you could use the same chairs for lashes.

    Good luck again and have fun with the start up! it's the best part of it.

    @brattigans thanks so much I absolutely love the zero gravity chairs! Thanks for such a great idea! I will do both, the bench and maybe 4 gravity chairs for the mums and bench for the younger party teens! Yippee!
