Shelves

Shelves for hair salons

When you set up your salon, it’s not only about good-looking furniture and the right colours. Shelves play a key part in your working day – they keep your products in order, make sure everything is within easy reach, and help set the overall feel of the salon. Whether it’s shampoo shelves and towel shelves by the wash station, service shelves at the workstations, or retail shelves for products, choosing the right shelves matters for both everyday use and appearance. A well-organised salon is an efficient salon, and shelves are one of those small details that make a big difference. When towels are neatly stacked on a wall shelf, shampoo and conditioner are presented neatly in the washing area, and retail shelves quietly bring your products to the fore, it doesn’t only create a practical layout – it also shapes the client’s experience. The best hair salons don’t only think about the treatment itself, but also the room around it.

Shampoo shelves – Keep products in order at the wash station

In the washing area, shampoo shelves are a must. This is where you need products close at hand, but they also have to cope with damp and splashes. Many ordinary shelves can’t handle the daily wear in a busy salon, but specially made shampoo shelves in powder-coated metal or treated wood can stand up to the demands of a professional working environment. A well-designed shampoo shelf keeps all your products organised and easy to reach, while still looking tidy for the client. Instead of messy bottles around the basin, you get a smart solution that makes the work flow easier – and gives your salon a more professional look.

Service shelves – The practical detail that makes a difference

In the work area, service shelves are a discreet but essential addition. These shelves are usually mounted under the mirrors and give clients a place to set a cup of coffee, a phone, or their glasses while they’re being treated. Even though it sounds like a small detail, it makes a big difference to the client experience – it creates a sense of comfort and ease. When the client feels at home, it strengthens the impression of your salon as a place where everything has been thought through. A service shelf can also be used to keep a few chosen styling products out – either to make things easier for the hairdresser or as a quiet way of showing the products to the client.

Retail shelves – Make your products more appealing

In the sales area, well-placed retail shelves can make all the difference. When products are shown in a tidy, inviting way, clients are much more likely to take something home. It’s not only about having shelves, but about using them well:

• Lighting is vital – with the right lighting, you can bring products forward and make them more noticeable.
• Placing them close to the till increases impulse buys.
• Simple works best – too many products can feel overwhelming.

A well-thought-out retail shelf is a quiet seller that works for you every day.

Towel shelves – Organised, easy-to-reach towels

And what about the towels? A dedicated towel shelf keeps them neatly organised and easy to reach, saving you time and keeping the salon tidy. Some salons choose open shelves, where rows of clean, rolled towels create an upmarket spa feel. Others prefer cupboards with shelves, where the towels are kept out of sight but still close at hand. It’s about what fits best with your way of working and your layout.

Shelves are more than storage – they’re part of your branding

Your choice of shelves says a lot about your salon. Rustic wooden shelves can give a warm, natural feel, while minimalist metal shelves create a clean, modern look. When you choose shelves, you’re also choosing how your salon should feel for clients – and how your day-to-day work should run for you and your team.
