Hello Stylist! 🌞
The sun at the beginning of this article means that today we will be talking about a very important issue in our work - light! As you surely know, properly selected lighting in a beauty salon It can work wonders! This factor influences the comfort of your work, the results of your treatments, and the well-being of your clients. Today, I'll tell you about the two most popular options: natural light and LED. And finally, I'll share my secret – the best lamps we have at i-coucou, thoroughly tested.
# Natural light – the sun in your living room
Natural light is a stylist's greatest ally. It's free, healthy, beautifully reflects colors, and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
Advantages of natural light:
- Perfect color reproduction – makeup, eyelash styling and hair coloring look exactly as they should!
- Better well-being – the sun's rays improve the mood not only of you, but also of your clients.
- Zero costs – nature gives us light for free.
- Natural light, if there is a lot of it, is of course healthy for the eyes and it is known that health is the basis for our work (I wrote more about health here if you are interested).
Disadvantages of natural light:
- Instability – on a cloudy day you may have much less light.
- Depends on the time of day – unfortunately it will be gone in the evening.
- The need for a suitable location – if your living room does not have large windows, natural light will be limited.
# LED lighting – modernity in your living room 💡
LEDs have taken the beauty industry by storm, and it's no wonder! They're next-generation lighting: economical, reliable, and versatile.
Advantages of LED lighting:
- Constant and even illumination – ideal for treatments requiring precision, such as eyebrow and eyelash styling or permanent makeup.
- Longevity – LED bulbs can last thousands of hours without replacement!
- Light color adjustment – you can adjust it to your needs, e.g. warm for relaxation, cold for treatments requiring visual acuity.
- Lower energy consumption – in the long run you save on bills.
Disadvantages of LED lighting:
- initial cost – but don’t worry, it’s an investment that will quickly pay off!
- Blue light – when exposed for a long time it can tire the eyes, therefore It is worth choosing high-quality lamps with adjustable color and light intensity .
# The perfect solution? A combination of both options. 🌈
In practice, a combination of natural light and LED lighting works best. This allows you to take advantage of the sun during the day and provide optimal working conditions for yourself and your clients in the evening.
If you're designing a living room from scratch, opt for large windows. If you're working in a pre-existing space, consider professional LED lighting to compensate for any lack of natural light. Movable lamps also work well – they allow you to illuminate exactly the area you need.
