What a Salon Floor Needs
A salon floor coating is a decorative resin system, usually a flake or metallic epoxy with a chemical-resistant topcoat, that resists the dyes, developer and acetone a salon uses daily while giving the space a seamless, upscale finish that wipes clean.
A salon floor has a split personality: it has to look upscale and on-brand for clients, and it has to survive hair color, developer, bleach, acetone and nail products that stain and etch an ordinary floor. So it needs a chemical-resistant topcoat that shrugs off permanent color, 40-volume developer, bleach and acetone, a seamless, easy-clean surface where swept hair and spilled product wipe up rather than lodge in grout, and a decorative finish, a designer flake blend or a metallic epoxy, that fits the room. Comfortable underfoot for stylists on their feet all day is a bonus a seamless coating delivers over cold tile.
The System We Install and How Long It Takes
We install a decorative epoxy base, full-flake or metallic, at roughly 20 to 40 mils, with a chemical-resistant polyaspartic or urethane topcoat that resists dye, developer and acetone and cleans easily. It is our own Duralast system, and you choose the color and blend to match your brand. A polyaspartic topcoat is tack-free in 1 to 2 hours and returns the salon to service in about a day, so you lose little booking time.
Every floor gets the same six-step process: we grind the slab to a CSP 1 to 3 profile, patch cracks and spalls, moisture-test and prime the concrete, apply the base coat, broadcast the chips and seal it with a clear topcoat.
- Decorative flake or metallic epoxy at 20 to 40 mils.
- Chemical-resistant topcoat rather than a bare concrete sealer.
- Resists hair color, developer, bleach and acetone.
- Tack-free in 1 to 2 hours.
- Back in service in about 24 hours, not the 72 hours epoxy needs.
Built for Indiana Winters
The entry and any unheated back room take Fort Wayne's tracked-in road salt and freeze-thaw at the threshold. We spec the entry for the cold and chloride so the finish does not scale where winter meets the floor, and the sealed surface keeps salt and slush from staining.
What It Costs
We price every floor in person with a free on-site estimate. The cost depends on the square footage, the slab's condition and moisture, the coating system and build, and any off-hours scheduling. You get a straight, written price before any work starts.
