In today’s times, beauty business is one of the most thriving trades. Whether it is a cosmetic or plastic surgery or as simple as a small parlor operation which offers basic facilities like threading and waxing, these places are always packed with women. But gone are the days when small parlors used to operate from small rooms of a rented house with bare minimum facilities and products. Nowadays even if it is a woman running a beauty parlor or a salon from their home, they have to have a certain standard of interiors and hygiene.
Many celebrities are also foraying into the beauty business as it is very lucrative and never goes out of demand. We have the famous ‘BBlunt’ which is owned by Adhuna Akhtar (wife of Farhan Akhtar) or the celebrity favorite Hakim’s Aalim ‘Hair n’ Beauty Lounge’. Many international chains too like TONI&GUY with the slogan ‘Combining British precision and Italian flair’ are making their presence felt in the Indian Market.
Apart from the beauty service offerings and techniques, it is the INTERIORS of the salon which plays a major role in attracting its clients. As much good a service is, if the interiors are not appealing chances are such parlors will definitely lose out their customers to rival salons. It’s all about packaging these days and why shouldn’t it be. After a busy day of running here and there, any individual would like to soak their feet in a clean & refreshing environment with cool air and fragrant aroma in the air.
Indian beauty salons don’t experiment much with their interiors. When it comes to SPA we see very cozy ambience to attract the client with the Zen like mood but same is usually not the case with the beauty salons. If you see countries like Japan, they have some very distinctive beauty salons with minimally designed yet appealing to the aesthetics interiors. So it’s all about quality and taste which makes the parlor or salon attractive to the clients along with irresistible packages and services.
Today SOUL brings you some of the most innovative interiors of Beauty Salons & Parlors from all across the world.
SOUL Recommendations: In India, every city has some local parlors which are really well decorated. For e.g. ‘Bubbles Hair & Beauty Salon’ in Hyderabad was started by a Tollywood actress and is a favorite amongst Tollywood Industry. But sticking to well-known chains like BBLUNT, Hakim Alim’s, Javed Habib etc., one would never go wrong with them though the pricing may be a bit on the higher side.
