Top 10 Trendy Salon Paint Colors
Color (and we’re not talking hair color) has an enormous impact on the walls and interiors of salons, spas, and barbershops. Playing a significant role in branding and design—color sets the mood, reflects your name, and conveys how you want the space to feel. Choosing the best paint colors for your place of business can make a striking difference, even in terms of revenue. Think about it. Whether you realize it or not, some of the biggest names in the beauty industry have done one thing very well—you can recognize them based solely on the colors associated with their brand. For example, Clinique is clean with light green, lilac, black, and white. Moroccan Oil is luxurious and fun with aquamarine and gold, and Glossier has become famous for its minimal use of black and white with touches of light pink. The point is—color is increasingly a strategy to be studied with care as the more you personalize your look with individual character and originality, the greater the success.
When exploring paint color options for your salon, spa, or barbershop, it is vital to consider your target customer and how your environment can adapt to them. In general, a salon should be a warm and welcoming place where clients are happy to linger in the reception area if need be. To meet the standards of an increasingly demanding clientele, ensure the level of comfort and pleasure your business offers is on par with the capabilities and services. If every person who walks through your door has a positive experience from start to finish, you are more likely to increase return customer business.
