1. Wash Away Winter with a DEEP Salon Cleaning
Cleaning may sound like a total no brainer, but let’s be honest, when was the last time you gave your salon a good deep cleaning? In order to truly see your salon, the elements you want to keep, the décor you want to change, the supplies you have in stock, what needs replacing/updating and so on, step one is to clear your mind by deep cleaning your space. Wipe down the baseboards and clean your vents. Mop the salon floors, then mop them again. Sweep away those pesky cobwebs and dust bunnies from the corners of your salon, and if your space doesn’t already have one, purchase an EyeVac Pro Electronic Dustpan to make the laborious daily task of sweeping your salon floors a whole lot easier. Scour your styling stations, salon chairs, shampoo systems, storage cabinets, front desk, and salon retail area from top to bottom. Minerva Beauty is equipped with all the salon cleaning essentials, selling a variety of cleaners and sanitizers to help get your space looking polished and renewed.
2. Re-Arrange & Shake Things Up!
Giving your salon a fresh look doesn’t always mean out with the old and in with the new. Simply moving things around and rearranging your salon furniture can completely transform a space to look new and refreshed. Plus, switching up your floor plan and layout of equipment is practicing feng shui in your salon, which brings new energy and establishes harmony between an individual and their environment. Oh and did we mention… it’s FREE! Win-win all the way around.
Minerva’s 2D Space Planner is the perfect tool to help you lay out, rearrange, and design your spring salon transformation. Our FREE 2D design tool allows you to lay out fully customizable floor plans with Minerva furniture. Simply enter your room's dimensions to get started, add walls, and start placing equipment.

4. Brighten Up With New Hair Salon Lighting Ideas
Lighting is one of the most important elements in a salon environment. Good, flattering and accurate salon lighting not only allows hair stylists to cut, color, and style their client’s hair efficiently and effectively, but lighting also plays an essential part in creating the vibe of an environment and has the ability to shape and transform a salon’s interior design. Instantly brighten and revamp your salon’s aesthetic by adding both functional and decorative types of lighting throughout your space’s interior. Whether it’s propping open your salon doors on a sunny day or adding lightweight curtains to your windows, take advantage of the natural (and free) light the sun provides wherever possible. The glow of sunlight is an easy and cost-free way to completely revive your salon’s look and feel. Have limited access to natural lighting in your salon? No worries. Minerva Beauty has you covered.
Create an aesthetically pleasing and dynamic ambiance by illuminating your space with the indirect lighting of LED backlit salon mirrors.
Employ vanity lighting in an area of your salon for clients wanting to capture an instagram-worthy picture of their new hairdo with social media-friendly ring lights.
Add strong, color correct task lighting with energy-efficient floor and table lamps.5. Revive Your Space with Salon Plants
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. 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. Adding a pop of plant life greenery to your salon’s interior is an affordable, beneficial and aesthetically pleasing way to completely change the look and feel of your space.

Plus, providing your hairstylists with the flexibility, storage, and mobility they need will completely enhance and transform the way your salon operates on a daily basis.
