Gone are the days of old barber shops were people used to sit and wait for turns to have their haircuts done. In place of those shops, now we have new stylish, tiny, beauty resorts called the 'salons'. A salon can be called as the new generation twist of our old barber shops, were combs, talcum powder and shaving blades occupied the shabby tables of the room. Compared to an old barber shop, the interior decoration of a salon is well catered to the needs of the people. There is a change in everything starting from the simple chair to the cosmetics used in giving the person a distinct and special look.

Salon designing is one of the primary priorities any hair dresser has in his mind before starting his business. The interior of a salon is modified and decorated in such a way that the customers feel at ease. Enough space is provided for free movement and the walls are decorated with fluorescent light colors. To have a homely touch, fresh flowers are kept in a vase on the table. The tiles say it all with vibrant mix and match colors are seen making it look different and pleasant. Salon designers like to place a few magazines on the visitors table for the customers to read. These magazines are selected at random to cater the interests of the different people who visit the salon. The salon is always kept clean of clutter and a hygienic atmosphere is been build up.

Salon designing is totally left to the priority of the owner. He can either go for a professional designer or can work out his own ideas in designing his salon. Most people think that designing and decorating are quite expensive. This is not true always. Any artistic designer can decorate a room within his budget, provided he brings out his creativity or has the right person to do the job for him.

Some salon owners go to the end of furnishing their room with the aid of computer designers. The furniture, latest equipments and their arrangements in the room are made exclusively by professional salon designers. It seems to look like the one for next generation set up, keeping aside the expenses worked out for the owner. These type of salons look so hi-tech that the customers finds it difficult to spot a speck of fault in the facilities available.

Now, salons are not just a place for a person to shape his hair or shave his face, but it is way beyond that. It has indeed become a social institution where people find that they are somebody who is important. Salon designing makes them feel that they are valued and taken care of. All the more, it is the time for relaxing and to stay yourself isolated sinking into your thoughts.
