10 Salon Plants to Liven Up Your Space
Plants bring life to any space — especially salons. Today, it’s a really popular interior design practice to decorate any space with plants, big and small. And that’s because plants, while simple, can really add a lot of color to a tiny room or a wide area and they instantly refresh any space they are placed into.

The Benefits of Salon Plants
Plants are not only a great way to add some aesthetic value to your salon, but they also have many other unknown benefits.
Plants Purify the Air – Surprisingly, some of the products used in salons do release quite a few toxins into the air. Some of the most common toxins found in salons are formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, trichloroethylene and more. But don’t start to panic! By livening up your salon with plants, you will also be purifying your air and getting rid of these harmful toxins.
Indoor Plants Instantly Refresh Any Space – Whether your salon is big, small, bright or dark, adding a few plants to your space will instantly brighten your salon, enhance the overall aesthetic and give it a more serene and tropical vibe.
Trees Are Interior Design on a Budget – The impact plants have on any space is undeniable. Since the minimalist trend is very in-style right now — especially for salons — you don’t have to add expensive and excessive decor to your salon’s walls. All you need is a few, unique indoor plants and trees and your salon will feel like an entirely new and professionally designed space.
So now that you understand the benefits of leafy decor, let’s take a look at our favorite plants and trees to put in your salon.

3. Snake Plant
This plant will completely transform your space aesthetically! That, and are also one of the best plants for removing toxins. You can place this plant on wall shelves, in a window or next to salon equipment to elevate the space.
4. Dracaena
If you’re looking for a long-term plant that grows with your salon and adds a desert vibe, you’re going to love the Dracaena. Not only does this plant have air-purifying capabilities, but it’s also easy to take care of and can grow up to 15 feet tall. We recommend this plant for spaces with large ceilings. Place two Dracaena on both ends of the salon furniture in your waiting and reception area for a cool look.
5. Spider Plants
We absolutely love spider plants for the salon because you can place them virtually anywhere. Whether you choose to hang them from the ceiling or place them around your salon stations, these long and green leaves soothe the space and add a touch of green to your salon. These plants are great for salons that don’t get much natural light.
6. Birds of Paradise
This extravagant and tropical-looking palm needs a lot of sunlight. So if your salon has big, beautiful windows that get a lot of natural light, this is the tree for you. This plant is known for its long and wide leaves that will instantly elevate any space.
7. Aloe Vera
If big plants and trees aren’t your thing or you are running low on extra space for large plants, we recommend placing a few Aloe Vera plants on the shelves or windows. While small, these plants do still make quite the visual impact and they are very easy to care for.
8. Bamboo Palm
Similar to Areca Palms, Bamboo Palms will give any spot a tropical look and feel. But Bamboo Palms thrive in low-light areas. So if your salon doesn’t get a lot of natural light, this is a great way to brighten up the space. Bamboo Palms can also grow up to 12 feet tall.
9. Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree
The Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree is a very trendy indoor plant that will add a touch of sophistication to your salon or barber shop. Other than the plant requiring a lot of natural light, it’s relatively easy to take care of.
10. Sill Monstera Deliciosa
This chic and small plant makes quite the visual impact. Its unique leaves will give your salon a beautiful-looking aesthetic. While it needs a lot of direct sunlight, you only need to water this beauty every one to two weeks.
Are you ready to get your green thumb on with these indoor plants? Your clients, stylists and salon will love you for it! Next time you order your next batch of salon equipment, snag a flairosol spray bottle, which is perfect for watering your favorite plants (especially succulents).
