Tips for Choosing the Best Mirror for Beauty Business

How to Choose a Mirror for a Salon

Style

One of the first factors to evaluate is the decorative style of the salon. This matters because there are many mirrors available on the market, and not all of them will suit the style you've chosen for your decoration.  Round mirrors, for example, classic and traditional ones, are always associated with retro style and more romantic, feminine decor.  Rectangular mirrors are more modern because they value straight and simple forms.

Frame

The frame also plays an important role in the style of the mirror. Therefore, it's very important to consider it. Mirrors with a decorative frame, such as Provence or Venetian styles, fit perfectly into classic and elegant salons and serve as an interesting contrast in modern-design salons.

Mirrors without a frame, on the other hand, are ideal for modern and elegant decor, especially those that value minimalist approaches. It should be noted that frameless mirrors are cheaper and can help save on salon decoration project costs. As for colors, frames in neutral tones like white, black or wood shades work well with modern, elegant and classic salons. 

Colored frames are perfect for retro-style or more relaxed and youthful designs.

Lighting for Salon Mirror

Good lighting around the mirror is also important so that clients get a great impression of the services provided. Lighting highlights and enhances details which might be easily missed under normal lighting. 

Using lighting in a salon mirror is also important for professionals working with makeup, as light affects color perception and the effects of makeup. Today you can choose mirrors with built-in LED strip lighting, wardrobe mirrors or even mirrors with side hanging fixtures.

The Ideal Size of a Mirror for a Salon

A mirror in a beauty salon should be large enough for clients to easily see themselves during services. It's also important to consider the distance between the chair and mirror. Therefore, always choose a mirror size from medium to large. 

This means the mirror should be at least 0.9 meters wide and 1.5 meters high for a rectangular mirror or at least 0.9 meters in diameter for a round one.

Smaller mirrors should only be used as auxiliary. Such a mirror, also known as a handheld mirror, is used for more detailed showing of a haircut to the client, including the back.
