Hairdressing mirrors – your guide to choosing the perfect mirror for your salon
Mirrors are more than just a tool in a hair salon – they are an essential part of both functionality and aesthetics. They allow customers to see their transformation, give hairdressers the best working conditions, and create a sense of space, light, and exclusivity in the salon. At Just Add People, we know how important the right mirror is for your daily work. That’s why we offer a wide selection of high-quality hairdressing mirrors – from classic wall-mounted mirrors to modern designs with integrated lighting.
Why are hairdressing mirrors so important?
A salon mirror does more than reflect an image – it creates an experience.
- For the hairdresser: A high-quality, professional mirror ensures you can work with precision, especially for coloring and cutting.
- For the customer: Proper mirror placement ensures customers feel involved in the process and can admire their new look from all angles.

The choice of mirror impacts the entire salon experience – for you, your staff, and your customers.

How to optimize your salon with mirrors
Placement and size matter
Mirrors should be placed strategically to maximize both lighting and functionality. Large mirrors can make small salons feel more spacious, while well-positioned mirrors can enhance the salon’s overall brightness.
Combine mirrors with task lighting
Mirrors with built-in lighting or properly placed spotlights ensure that you can work with accuracy and provide your customers with the best experience.
Match mirrors with your salon’s interior
A mirror is more than just a tool – it’s part of your salon’s identity. Choose from modern, minimalist mirrors or classic framed designs in wood or metal to complement your salon’s style.
Frequently asked questions about salon mirrors
How do I choose the right mirror for my salon?
Consider your salon’s style, space, and needs. If you have limited floor space, wall-mounted mirrors are ideal. For more flexibility, freestanding mirrors may be the best option.
Why is professional glass quality important?
High-quality salon mirrors ensure accurate color representation, so hair colors appear true to life and do not shift under different lighting conditions.
Can mirrors make my salon look bigger?
Yes! Large mirrors reflect light and create a sense of openness, making smaller salons appear more spacious and inviting.
How do I clean salon mirrors?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and a gentle glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the mirror coating.
