Designed for Comfort: Salon Waiting Areas

<p> We wanted the salon to look like a big living room, so we didn’t really use salon furniture. Like the rest of the salon, the waiting area is French-inspired with a comfortable damask sofa and crystal chandeliers. We also have mini-cupcakes, fresh flowers, coffee, herbal teas, and cucumber-mint water available, so the pampering starts immediately upon the clients’ arrival. — Angela Tsigonoff, Krème de la Krème Nail Lounge, Long Beach, Calif.</p>

NAILS Magazine asked salon owners: How do you make your waiting area comfortable? Here is a selection of their responses.

To have your salon’s waiting area added to this online gallery, e-mail a picture of it to Sree.Roy@bobit.com, along with a short description.
