Many factors influence the atmosphere in your hairdressing salon or beauty salon, but lighting is one of the most important. Even if you have the best staff and professionals in the industry, inappropriate lighting can have a negative impact on all aspects of your salon; from your client's emotions to the actual quality of service. It can really affect the mood of your customers, their first impression of your establishment and the efficiency of your employees.
Whether you are planning to open a brand new salon or want to renovate your existing hair salon, beauty salon or barbershop, there are many interior design elements to consider and salon lighting is one of the most important.
Trade fair lighting is particularly important, as it will not only provide functional lighting for your staff to take care of your customers, but it will also create an atmosphere in the trade fair, which is just as important.
Making these two aspects work together is easier said than done. If you're looking to create an optimal environment that will flatter both employees and customers, this article offers ideas, tips and tricks for living room lighting.

Hair salon lighting also creates the atmosphere and ambience of your establishment. So avoid using bright, cold light in a beauty salon, as it is more associated with a clinic or doctor's office. Warm, dimmed light, on the other hand, is more relaxing for the mind and body, and is what customers look for in any salon.
Although good lighting in a salon improves a customer's mood, it is also necessary for hairdressers so that they can do their work effectively.
So think about having powerful ceiling lights that will illuminate the whole area. Then, each of the styling stations should be individually lit. This guarantees optimal work and visual comfort for the hairdressers. Since most beauty services are visual, it is imperative that your employees can see what they are doing. Whether it is a colouring, haircut or nail art, it is important that the stylists can see every detail. Poor lighting can actually ruin the whole job.
Well thought-out lighting can complement your decor and create a unique atmosphere. Think about the type of light that matches the image of your living room and try to see which type of light best suits it: classic ceiling lights, wall lights or perhaps a mix of both? Maybe you should invest in light mirrors? Or garlands of light?
However, when choosing a warm atmosphere, make sure you balance it with some fresh elements. Too much heat will disrupt the design of your living room and make it look old-fashioned.

The best way to attract your customers to your retail area is toinstall bright lights around it. Accent lights directed towards your shelves will make your resale products stand out and attract the attention of your customers. Here, instead of warm lights, choose bright lights that ensure that products can be seen even from a distance or in the waiting area.

Lighting is every colorist's nightmare. In an industry where every shade of colour counts, poor lighting can ruin everything. To avoid colour distortion, to respect the client's well-being and to have the same hair colour in the salon and in natural light, lighting with a high colour rendering should be preferred. The simple solution is to use bulbs that give realistic lighting. Consider the Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of the bulb (This is the measure of light in relation to how it affects the appearance of colour). It should be 86 or higher.
The best way to eliminate shadows is to position the lighting on each side of the mirror and add diffuse light rather than directly on the person's face. However, avoid lights on the top of the head that cause the client's face to have a shadow and make sure there are no shadows around the chair so that you can see every angle without having to ask the client to switch to a better light.

If there is natural light in the living room, make the most of it. However, don't forget to keep your customers' privacy.

Although they are more expensive than regular light bulbs, LED bulbs last longer and use less electricity: they are more energy efficient and will save you money in the long run.
