Creating a soothing and relaxing esthetician studio can enhance the service experience. Estheticians already do their best to provide a relaxing experience, but making a calming studio can help new and returning clients feel serene. In this blog, we will share some tips on how you can create a studio that fits your personality but provides stress relief for all clients.
1- Find A Soothing Color Palette
Most spas or studios will choose a neutral color palette to create a relaxing space. Choosing a soothing color palette will make your customers feel safe, calm, and invited. Some color options that are best for promoting relaxation include baby blue, muted greens, earth tones, or other pastels.
2- Incorporate Sound And Music
Nature sounds, white noise, and instrumental music are a great way to elevate your esthetician studio. Not only playing sounds in the lobby but also using spa music or nature sounds during a service will help to relax your clients. When getting a facial or massage, soothing music may be just what they need to put them deeper into relaxation mode or put them to sleep.
3- Natural Elements
Helping your esthetician studio to feel like an extension of nature can be done by including plant life, natural stone elements, wood, or natural-smelling essential oils. The last thing you want is for your studio to feel industrial or stuffy, so including natural elements will help it to feel like an extension of the outside world. Water features are also a great way to increase tranquility with their soothing sounds.
4- Set The Mood With Lighting
Proper lighting is important for a home, workspace, or esthetician studio. Using natural light and artificial light to your advantage will help you manipulate the atmosphere of the space. Especially in a tranquil setting, using natural light in combination with soft light will put our minds and eyes at ease.
Most esthetic services can be done with low lighting or almost in the dark. Using soft lighting lamps, string lights, salt lamps, candles, or small lighting can give you enough light to perform the surface while keeping the client in a relaxed state.
5- Maximize Space With Proper Storage
Storage solutions are important for all businesses, but estheticians can benefit from good storage for products, tools, and sanitary equipment. Keeping the studio clutter-free will also contribute to the relaxing vibes you are hoping to achieve. A clutter-free space helps us to have a clearer mindset, which will make a spa or esthetician treatment more immersive.
Hidden storage or modular storage are great options for an esthetician studio. Mobile storage will help you to have a more flexible work environment, and only bring along what you need. Using the right storage options helps transform a compact room into an attractive space, without compromising functionality.
6- Incorporate Products As Decor
You likely have multiple products that you sell in your esthetician studio, so finding a creative way to display them can add the the decor. Instead of searching for art pieces or vases, try styling your products on the shelves or walls of the studio. This is also a great marketing tactic to help make the products more visible to clients. Seeing a product with appealing packaging could increase the likelihood of a purchase.
7- Temperature Control
While it may not be possible to find an ideal temperature for everyone, there are ways to help keep everyone comfortable when visiting your studio. Maintaining a medium room temperature of around 69-72 degrees Fahrenheit will be appropriate for most people. You can keep blankets, space heaters, and warm towels around to accommodate clients’ needs as you provide them with a service.
