There are many good and valid reasons why a salon should periodically remodel not only the decor, but the salon equipment as well.

A SALON'S IMAGE IS IMPORTANT
Remodeling tells clients that you realize your image is important to them. But, more importantly, a sharp looking salon gives you credibility when you tell them how important appearance is to their image.

REMODELING IMPROVES MORALE
It improves your clients' morale because they feel better about themselves just getting a great look from an up-to-date salon. But, if your salon decor is outdated, it may give clients the impression your styling/cutting techniques are also. Remodeling also improves employee morale. A great looking salon not only helps retain staff and lowers turnover, it makes it easier to recruit new stylists.

REMODELING INCREASES BUSINESS
A general rule-of-thumb is that business will increase by 20% in the first year after remodeling. And, there are tax advantages. If your old salon equipment is fully depreciated, you may end up having less deductions and paying more taxes. Buying or leasing new equipment gives you new tax deductions. When you combine the increased business with tax advantages, remodeling may cost less than you think.

WHEN SHOULD YOU REMODEL?
Color and fashion trends change approximately every three to five years. To keep in step, salons should follow this same time frame. From a pure business point-of-view, you should remodel when there's a definite downswing in business or when new customers are not being generated.

And don't just think of salon remodeling as painting or wallpapering. You need to keep your salon equipment up-to-date, too. The many technological improvements constantly being made on today's sleek, new equipment not only greatly improves a salon's image, but the productivity of its employees as well.
