New design trend: in home salons

Homeowners have discovered a permanent solution to bad hair days: creating luxury in home salons, complete with hair-washing basins, stylist chairs, manicure stations and even massage tables. Luxury homeowners love the idea of their own personal salon (some might call it a “She Cave”) because they offer both convenience and privacy.
According to a story in the Wall Street Journal, homebuilders report that these private salon spaces are becoming as popular among luxury homebuyers as in-home movie theaters, yoga studios, man caves and other amenities admired in home building today. This could very well be be the latest unique amenity designed by homebuilders and architects and embraced by Realtors as a new way to attract buyers.
The growing popularity of in-home salons is evident in current property listings that highlight everything a luxury homebuyer could ever want. For instance, a recent listing for a Los Angeles luxury property refers to its hair salon as an “amazing feature,” while the recently sold Beverly Hills Estate of Harbor Freight Tools CEO Eric Smidt, listed a “coiffure salon” as one of the many features in his listed home and The Primm Ranch in Las Vegas includes a hair salon in its listing along with a bowling alley and a recording studio. There’s even a page dedicated to the home hair salon on Pinterest!
