Hi Kelly
Cant help with the stairs question but i too have converted a room in my house into a salon
As my partner works away during the week and we dont really use the room its ideal, come christmas i will have to pack my things away though ! but worth it definatley to have your own space
I have a table for my retail items, creative posters on the walls together with my certificates and examples of nail art, mosaic & metro, flowers and airbrushing designs. Oh and a clock on the wall behind the client !! very handy
I have a desk where i work and i have also had an extractor fan put in the wall, through to outside
I have a couple of trolleys with my pedicure items and paraffin wax etc on so that i can comfortably wheel these round to the client and have everything to hand to work with when not working at my desk
I also will be changing my posters around as i have some spares so that my room changes and catches peoples eyes when the return. I'll also be changing my retail items around too so people do not become complacent where certain items are and if i move them other items may start to catch their eyes ??!!! here's hoping anyway ! Thing is here i am gonna do this and when Tesco's change their aisles around its so annoying i cant find anything !! lol not that my room is anywhere near that scale and hopefully wont annoy but please people !
All comments have been really positive and people really love the experience of coming (so they tell me !)
Just a few simple things can make a room seem so professional and organised, i was so worried people would see it as i did, my dining room ! but it now looks like a purpose built room for my business - and when i lead people along to the room i tell them to follow me through to THE SALON ! and gradually i no longer think of it as my dining room but MY SALON
im sure soon you'll feel the same way, and it will look fantastic
