Soundproofing treatment room

[unknowntherapy]

Hi,

I have been approached to rent a beauty room within a hair salon but the room hasn't actually been built yet and I am concerned about the level of noise as the room will actually be within the hair salon.

My current room is in a hair salon but is seperated by a corridor so the level of noise isn't to bad. Infact I don't really hear hairdryers etc. My problem is the door banging and people talking in the corridor.

So I would be basically swapping one problem for another I am just a bit worried about the noise from the main salon. The owners are consulting with builders regarding soundproofing but they can't be 100% sure that there will be no noise obviously I don't want to say yes I will go there then have horrendous noise from the salon and loose clients.

I would really appreciate it if those of you that have experience with this sort of thing can advise me if it is possible to soundproof a room to the extent I won't hear anything from outside (my room will be next to the basins and it is not a big salon)

Thanks

I haven't experience with this exact situation but the salon I was in had the plumbing all connected and when the lady in the room next door turned her taps on I could hear it really loudly! If you had a door banging problem in a salon before it is likely to be the same, especially without the corridor. I would be a bit dubious, but it's hard to know, it depends how thick the wall is.

Does anyone else have any experience of this or know of materials that can soundproof a room ?

I kinda do...
not in the beauty business but in the music one...

to "soundproof" a room it is extremely expensive, thick, and most of the times unaesthetic.
when you start from scratch, you can make it a little less expensive using certains materials, but it will remains thick and etc.

honnestly your best bet if the noise annoys you is to find a location far from noise, ie far from the corridor.

if there is only little noise, you can cover it with music tho.

It occurred to me today that even if the room is soundproofed to the maximum, noise is still going to heard though the door ?

except if you have a soundproof door, that costs a billion lol...
