How can I set up my salon with a rustic look?

July 01, 2008

I live in a mountain community where everything is rustic in appearance. I would love some ideas for how to set up my salon with that rustic look. I found some pedicure bowls online, and I was thinking about putting river rocks in the bottom for each client to massage her feet on while she is soaking. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated

Answer

More than anything else, color scheme influences the overall look of a space. If you’re going for a rustic look, I’d recommend antique-styled furniture, with predominantly oak or dark cherry colors. — Max Bonafante is owner of Salon Designers LA (www.salondesignersla.com).

I am an apprentice in a natural nail salon. Sometimes I get requests for nail art. I would love to learn how to do different nail designs, but I am a beginner. I live in Virginia and there are never nail seminars or lectures or even hands-on classes here. Do you have any suggestions on learning nail art designs when there is no one in my area to teach it? Watching videos is good but sometimes you just need hands-on.
