Décor-overs for Less

With planning and creativity, it's possible to update the look of your salon on a budget. Start by clearing out clutter. Emptying shelves of yellowed photos and dusty bric-a-brac yields a clean, minimalist effect that is bracing. Put on a fresh coat of paint—it will instantly revive the entire salon. Replace just one "focal point" item—like the reception desk or a key light fixture. Purchase new equipment wisely—look for cost-effective multitaskers like Belvedere's Lydia Sarfati 3-in-1 Spa Chair that can be used for manicures, pedicures and facials. Finally, implement a makeover in phases. By spreading it out over time, it's easier on your credit and clients will look forward to every appointment to see what's new!
