Tips for Purchasing Salon Furniture

Salon furniture purchasing can be the most important decision you make when designing or remodeling your salon. There are several steps that are integral to the furnishing of your salon:

• Plan ahead. Begin the purchasing process at least 90 days before your expected opening. Allow for unexpected delays. It's a good idea to schedule your grand opening at least 30 days after your expected opening date.
• See for yourself. Visit our show room to be sure the furniture you have selected is the same quality and design that the literature depicts.
• Service. Purchase your salon equipment from a dealer that can and will service it. Do they demonstrate knowledge and a commitment to your success after the sale?
• Other costs. There are other costs associated with furniture: delivery cost, installation cost, and storage fees. Make sure you receive estimates from your dealer
• Check references. If you are purchasing from a dealer that offers design assistance, be sure to ask for and visit their references. This often will give you a quick view of the quality and type of work your dealer has done. Quality drives return on investment.
• Remember when deciding what to purchase that Quality of Salon = Quality of Stylists = Quality of Clients = Quality of Income.
• Following these basic steps will insure that your new salon will be a less stressful and more productive experience.
