RAM Lifestyle: a modern hair salon combining minimalism and a head spa in a single space

Can a hairdressing salon resemble a boutique spa? RAM Lifestyle in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, demonstrates how to combine hairdressing, beauty and head spa services within a single cohesive space. The minimalist interior design and furnishings, chosen with clients’ comfort and the stylists’ working ergonomics in mind, play a key role. For the salon owner, this represents a clear business model: more premium services within the same floor space and a distinct advantage over the competition.

How the modern RAM Lifestyle hair salon came into being

RAM Lifestyle brings together hairdressing, eyebrow and eyelash styling, nail care and scalp care under one roof. The design of the hair salon, led by Claudia Mulero Martínez, involved creating several separate service areas whilst maintaining a single, cohesive aesthetic and making the most of the available space.

This set-up has a direct impact on results. Customers can combine several services in a single visit, which extends the length of their stay at the salon and increases the value of their basket. The RAM team sums it up: „We have created a space that offers beauty and wellness all under one roof.”.

Hairdressing furniture from Comfortel’s ‘Textured Black’ collection

The Comfortel collection in a Textured Black finish forms the basis of the hairdressing salon’s furnishings. Lexi hairdressing chairs in Textured Black and Onyx salon mirrors are featured in successive areas, ensuring the whole space looks cohesive despite the different functions of the individual stations.

Black also has a practical side. Less visible signs of everyday wear and tear mean fewer touch-ups and the furniture stays looking „fresh” for longer between refurbishments. A cohesive collection also makes it easier to expand: by adding another seating area, the living room maintains the same style without compromise or additional costs for coordination.

The Mova hairdressing trolley, with its own power supply, ensures mobility. Having a socket at the station means fewer cables on the floor and greater freedom in arranging the space.

How to create a head spa area in your salon

At the heart of the wellness area is the Huggie hairdressing wash unit with electric recline and massage functions, finished in Textured Black. This solution allows a head spa service to be introduced without the need for a separate room, using the existing wash area. For the salon owner, this means a low cost of entry into a service with a higher profit margin.

A head spa, also known as a Korean head spa, is a longer and more expensive treatment based on massage and scalp care. The reclining wash unit with massage function means that the wash itself becomes part of the treatment, rather than a prelude to a haircut. The RAM team notes: „Customers describe it as a moment of complete disconnection and relaxation. It is one of the salon’s most highly valued features, thanks to its ergonomics and the sense of calm it creates.”.

Wellness-inspired hairdressing salon furnishings: what the salon stands to gain

The choice of fittings at RAM Lifestyle demonstrates that hairdressing furniture has a tangible impact on results, not just on the look of the interior. For a salon planning to follow a similar direction, four outcomes are of paramount importance:

• a longer appointment when a customer combines a hairdressing, beauty and head spa treatment;
• a higher average basket value thanks to premium services;
• a higher proportion of treatments with higher profit margins, such as head spa treatments;
• standing out from the local competition.

A cohesive design for the hairdressing salon and furnishings from a single collection make it easier to maintain this look over time and during future extensions.
