There are numerous ways to incorporate ShimmerScreen into salon and spa interiors. One popular application is as a decorative partition between pedicure chairs or other salon stations for an added sense of privacy. ShimmerScreen can also be used to separate shampoo stations from the rest of a hair salon or to create a division between manicure stations and waiting areas. With many salons and spas featuring open concept layouts, designers and owners are often looking for innovative ways to define individual spaces without closing off the overall space. These applications help to create a serene, relaxing and inviting atmosphere while maintaining a sense of cohesion throughout the salon.
“Seeing ShimmerScreen incorporated into salons and spas highlights the versatility of the product,” said Cath Taubner, EVP of ShimmerScreen. “By combining functionality with beauty, ShimmerScreen offers a unique design solution that defines individual spaces while preserving openness.”
The diverse range of materials and finishes offered by ShimmerScreen provides additional flexibility for salon and spa design. Since these spaces can be exposed to moisture and humidity, material selection is an important consideration. ShimmerScreen’s 304 Stainless Steel offers excellent rust resistance, making it a durable option for humid and high moisture environments. Yellow Brass is also a beautiful option when looking for a warmer, gold-toned appearance or when used as a base metal for the wide variety of finishes offered by ShimmerScreen. Yellow Brass does not rust, making it a great option to consider for salons and spas.
