Design the Salon Suite of Your Dreams in 3 Easy Steps
Moving into a new salon suite? Congratulations! We’ve taken the guesswork out of planning your layout and decorating your space with three easy steps. Below you’ll find how to form your brand identity, optimize your floor plan and decide what decor you should invest in and areas where you can save.
1. Here’s how to develop your brand’s aesthetic:
Before making any big purchases, it’s important to identify your brand aesthetic and how you want your business to be perceived. In order to decide on the identity that works for your business, ask yourself these questions:
- What story are you trying to tell through your brand?
- What is your brand voice?
- Who is your ideal customer? What type of people do you want to attract?
- What emotions do you want your brand to evoke?
- How is your business different from competitors?
- What are your ideal brand colors?
After answering these questions, explore other salons’ aesthetics to inspire your own. Below are a few different salon aesthetics that incorporate Minerva Beauty salon decor to inspire your decision-making.
Minimalistic: Minimalistic spaces are uncluttered, clean and have very few design elements. They generally have open floor plans that allow in a lot of natural light.

2. Optimize your salon floor plan in these 3 steps:
The most important part of decorating your dream suite is designing a floor layout that is functional yet stylish and maximizes the space’s total square footage. Here’s how to do so in three easy steps:
- Choose furniture and decorations that match your chosen brand aesthetic.
- Utilize Minerva’s 2D Space Planner to help you visualize, arrange, design and layout the furniture before you buy it.
- Purchase your decor and begin designing your dream suite.
3. Here’s how to determine what’s worth investing in vs. saving on:
When it comes to where to spend and where to save when decorating a salon suite, here’s what to consider:
- Invest in the furniture and equipment that will be used most often. Purchase high-quality salon chairs, styling stations and shampoo bowls as these will receive the most wear and tear—doing so will save you money in the long run.
- Save on trendy decorative pieces. When it comes to things like shelves, light fixtures, pillows and decorative signage—consider going with more economically-friendly options as these are easy and affordable things to replace as trends come and go.
- Finance your salon equipment when necessary through one of Minerva’s reliable financing partners. This allows you to make an upfront investment to build your dream suite without taking out high-interest loans or relying on others.
