Hair salon: six styling chairs and two shampoo chairs
A hair salon in a tenant of 8.2 × 7.2 m: the work room of 30.41 m² (the styling area with three stations on the east wall and three on an island, and the shampoo area with two shampoo chairs), the waiting area with the reception by the entrance behind partitions, and at the back the staff room, the stock and laundry room and the toilet. Ready for your AI to check the work room’s floor area against the chairs, as the prefecture’s or city’s ordinance counts them, before adding a station.
