Style Finder Guide

Style Finder Guide

You don’t have to do anything
invent.
Just take a look.

Most hairdressers believe they have to completely reinvent their dream salon from scratch. That’s not true. Your style is already within you—you just need to bring it to life. This guide shows you how.

“I plastered my entire hallway with pictures. I walked past them every day. After a few weeks, only 3 of the 50 were left—and those showed me exactly what I wanted.”

The Method

In 4 steps to
Your own style.

No architect, no blank sheet. Just images, time, and your honest reaction to them—the rest happens on its own.

01

Collect images — without filters

Open the image gallery and scroll through it—without pressure, without a specific order. No image has to fit perfectly. Bookmark or save anything you look at for just a moment longer than the rest.

02

Repeat daily

Take a fresh look at your selection every day. What looks good today might be out the door tomorrow. What remains is truly important. Let time do the work—not the pressure to decide.

03

Recognize patterns

After a few days, you’ll see it for yourself: always dark ceilings. Always warm wood tones. Always tidy workspaces. These recurring elements are your style—not by chance, but by design.

04

Print Top 3 & Call

Print out your 3–5 favorite images. Hang them up. Look at them for a week. Whatever remains—that’s what you bring to us. We’ll design your salon exactly based on that.

What to look for

What your selection
reveals about you.

You don’t need technical jargon or a degree in design. Your taste speaks for itself—you just have to listen to it.

  • Colors & Materials Which tones keep coming up? Deep black, warm wood, cool white, golden details? That is your color palette—and it is more personal than any trend color.
  • Order vs. Vibrancy Do you prefer clean, uncluttered salons—or warm, lively atmospheres with more details? Both are absolutely fine. The only thing that matters is what suits your personality.
  • Lighting & Atmosphere Bright, functional lighting or warm ambient lighting that sets the mood? Lighting is often what truly defines a salon—and it’s easier to implement than you might think.
  • Styling stations, washing area, Reception Where does your attention go—to the work chairs, the Wash unit, or the reception area? What you click on spontaneously reveals what is truly important to you.
  • What to scroll past immediately Equally valuable: What do you absolutely dislike? Too colorful, too dark, too clinical? These quick reactions of aversion reveal just as much as what you like.
Real-world example
This is how one client found their style—after 2 weeks and about 150 images:
  • Dark ceiling8 out of 10 favorites
  • Oak flooring7 out of 10 favorites
  • Black Salon chairs6 out of 10 favorites
  • Warm accent lighting9 out of 10 favorites
  • Minimalist mirrors5 out of 10 favorites
Result: Industrial-Warm — dark ambiance, natural materials, clean lines. No architect would have come up with this name. But the client knew immediately: this is me.
Our tip

Print out your favorites—no cell phone, no app. Images you physically see in front of you every day have a different impact. What’s still hanging there after a week is truly important.

Find the right style for your hair salon

The biggest challenge when setting up a new hair salon is not the budget or the product selection—it is the question: What do I actually want? Many hairdressers believe they have to reinvent their dream salon from scratch. That is not necessary. Your personal style already exists—it just needs to be brought to light.

The method is simple: Look at lots of pictures, without pressure and without a set plan. Notice what catches your attention. Repeat this daily. After a few days, you’ll start to recognize patterns—certain colors, materials, and lighting moods that keep coming up. That’s exactly your style.

Why reference salons are the best starting point

Renderings and manufacturer photos are useful—but real, fully furnished salons give you a realistic picture of what the final result will actually look like. At salondesign24, we show you real projects we’ve completed for our customers—featuring the same furniture you can buy from us, in real salons, not in photo studios.

Style Finder — Image Gallery for Hair Salons

Our image gallery showcases hundreds of salons in every style—from minimalist Scandinavian to warm industrial to luxurious modern. It also features renderings and 3D visualizations that show what a salon could look like before it’s built. Use the gallery as your personal mood board generator: save, compare, decide.
