Pro Collective NZ, 12 May 2026. Article by Erin Berryman.
Pro Collective NZ looked at how New Zealand salons are adapting to higher client expectations in an industry worth around $1.4 billion, with more than 5,500 businesses. The piece covers hospitality-inspired interiors, biophilic design (natural light, plants, natural materials) and the role of small luxuries in keeping clients coming back, at a time when many people treat their salon visit as a form of self-care.
What Kirsty Giles told Pro Collective
Salon Furniture’s Kirsty Giles was one of the industry voices in the article. Her take on where salons are heading:
“It’s no longer just about functionality. Clients expect a premium, comfortable experience from the moment they walk in.”
She also points out that creating a memorable in-salon experience is one of the most powerful ways for a salon to stand out from the competition, which is exactly what the right furniture, layout and lighting are there to support.
