SALON LIGHTING LAYERS

Light doesn’t just illuminate. It directs feeling.

In a nail salon, lighting sets more than visibility—it sets tone. And too often, it misses the mark: flat overheads, cold fluorescents, or spotlighting that drains rather than enhances.

The wrong light can make even the best design feel off. Skin looks tired. Surfaces feel harsh. The energy becomes anxious, not calm.

Layered lighting shifts that.

Start with a warm ambient base—soft pendants, indirect glows, recessed strips. Then add focused task lights at each station: directional, adjustable, flattering. Dimmers are quiet magic. They let the space respond—so morning feels different than late afternoon, and late afternoon feels different than evening.

Good light isn’t just seen. It’s felt.

It can make someone feel at ease before a word is spoken.
