To get you on your way, we consulted Sarah Barnard, interior designer and owner of Sarah Barnard Design in Santa Monica, California, for her top salon trends of the moment.

(RE)DECORATE Many salons are adopting more natural and organic products and methods as part of their offerings, and this attitude can be reflected in design choices. Responsibly made materials and vintage or reclaimed items are stylish and reflect salon and client ethics. Vintage items, in particular, add eclecticism and a sense of nostalgia that can contribute to your clients' relaxation.
