Maximizing Space with a Modern Industrial Vibe

Double-sided stations and a compact footprint help a California salon maximize revenue potential with 40 stations, six treatment rooms and a nail area. But it's Salon Midori's modern, industrial and organic vibe that helped it snag a Salon of Distinction award in our Salons of the Year competition.

“Maximizing the square footage to accommodate 40 styling stations, six multi-treatment rooms and a nail area required careful planning and attention to detail. The double-side styling stations were designed and built with a compact footprint offering plenty of functional storage solutions while helping us utilize our maximum potential. The custom reception desk with its bold 4” edge frame and gorgeous work surface creates an inviting first impression. The addition of the upholstered, S-shaped bench adds a touch of fun and personality to the space while inviting guests to relax. Our outdoor private patio allows both guests and stylists to take in the sun and fresh air while processing or taking a break.”
