Creating the Perfect Backwash for your Clients

A visit to the hairdressers used to be a necessity - to get rid of split ends, cover up roots or just get a long, limp style back into shape.
Nowadays, however, as well as it being an essential appointment every six to eight weeks, it is also a place where clients can sit back, relax and forget about shopping lists, kids and the stresses of life.
Talking about the latest trends at the styling station might be a distraction from reality, but there is one area that all salons can capitalise on and ensure clients really do relax and feel pampered: the backwash.
Billie Crago from The Chapel, Islington, London, offers her top five tips for creating the perfect backwash zone for your clients:
- Choose music that reflects the mood you want your guest to feel; remember the music is for the guest and not the team.
- Dimmer switches are lovely as they create a gentle ambiance. Candles are beautiful but not practical if space is limited.
- Privacy is a bonus.
- It sounds obvious, but do what you can to make your guest comfortable.
- Bottles should be kept tidy and clean. The cleanliness and aesthetics of any part of the salon can be seen as a reflection of the standard of your work as a whole.
