Mirrors for hair salons and studios: What should a commercial mirror be like?
A mirror in a hair salon or studio is no mere afterthought. It is the centerpiece of the workspace, the first thing a client sees when they sit down, and the last thing they see as they walk out satisfied. While a mirror at home is primarily a functional or decorative object, a commercial mirror must meet very different requirements: large dimensions, a clear and crisp reflection, an appearance that matches the business’s identity, and a quality that can withstand daily use.
Nordic Style supplies mirrors to hair salons, yoga studios, Pilates studios, beauty salons, and other professional settings throughout the Netherlands and Belgium, and understands exactly what matters in those settings.
Why Nordic Style
Design quality and practical reliability
What sets Nordic Style apart is the combination of design quality and practical reliability. The mirrors are made of high-quality HD silver mirror glass that provides a crystal-clear, true-to-life reflection, without distortion or discoloration. In a hair salon, you want customers to see their hair exactly as it is. Distorted glass isn’t just unpleasant—it undermines confidence in your work.
The glass comes standard with explosion-proof safety film, ensuring that it remains intact in the event of damage. This provides peace of mind in a busy environment with multiple employees and customers. Larger models are made with 5- or 6-mm glass to completely prevent distortion, even with the wide sizes commonly used in studios.
For business customers, Nordic Style offers competitive rates starting at just 3 mirrors, with a customized quote within 24 hours. Customers who order frequently can create a business account with volume discounts and a dedicated contact person for advice. All mirrors are delivered free of charge in the Netherlands and Belgium via a specialized carrier with experience in transporting fragile items.
For hair salons
Which mirror is best for a hair salon?
In hair salons, large arched mirrors are by far the most popular choice. The Maj collection offers arched mirrors in sizes up to 215×110 cm—generous dimensions that instantly give a workspace a professional and stylish look. The arched mirror combines straight bottom and side edges with an elegant arch at the top, a shape that has long been a favorite in salons because it looks both classic and contemporary.
The Maj is available with a brushed aluminum frame in black, matte white, greige, and soft gold, or as theMaj Oak with a solid oak frame for a warmer, more intimate atmosphere. For salons seeking a completely sleek look, the Maj Frameless is an excellent option: pure mirror glass with a matte-polished edge, free of any distractions. Frameless arched mirrors can also be custom-ordered, which is a major advantage for larger projects or special dimensions.
If you prefer a rectangular mirror with sharp, clean lines, check out the Finn collection. The Finn is available in sizes up to 215×110 cm and pairs well with modern or industrial interior styles. For a slightly softer look, the Ivar collection offers a rectangular mirror with four subtly rounded corners—an elegant hybrid design that works well in both living rooms and studios.

For studios
Mirrors for yoga studios and Pilates studios
In a yoga or Pilates studio, everything revolves around the body: posture, alignment, and awareness of movement. A mirror plays a direct role in this. Participants use the reflection to correct their posture, and an instructor can keep an eye on the group without losing his or her own position. This requires large, distortion-free mirrors that reflect the entire body.
Frameless mirrors are particularly popular in this setting. They don’t take up any visual space, blend seamlessly with the minimalist aesthetic of many studios, and provide a clear reflection without the constraints of a frame. The Maj Frameless arched mirror, measuring 215×110 cm, is one of the most popular choices for professional studios.
For larger projects, such as an entire mirrored wall, custom frameless mirrors can be ordered in quantities of 5 or more, based on a quote from the Dutch manufacturer. Gyms and fitness centers have a similar need for large, clear mirrors that can withstand daily use.
For beauty and wellness
Beauty salons and wellness centers
In a beauty salon, the mirror is a central feature of the treatment room. Clients look into it before, during, and after a treatment, and the mirror’s appearance directly contributes to the overall experience of the space. A well-chosen mirror conveys the sense of care and attention that a salon aims to project.
For beauty salons, round or oval mirrors often work well above a sink or workstation. The Nea collection offers round aluminum mirrors ranging from 60 to 120 cm in diameter, with frames in black, matte white, greige, and soft gold. The Lara collection offers oval mirrors in similar color options and sizes up to 190×60 cm. Both collections are available in aluminum, making them moisture-resistant for environments where water is present.
Wellness centers and spa environments often opt for frameless mirrors because they complement the clean, calm interior style that is so important in wellness environments. The combination of large, clear glass and the absence of visual details fits well with a space that exudes serenity and relaxation.
Decision Aid
What criteria should a commercial mirror meet?
A mirror for business use has different requirements than a mirror for home use. The differences aren't dramatic, but they are specific. Below is a list of the most important points.
- Size: In a hair salon, a workstation mirror should be large enough to clearly see the client from head to shoulder, while in a studio, the entire body should be visible. Nordic Style offers mirrors up to 215×110 cm, and for frameless models, even larger sizes are available upon request through custom manufacturing.
- Glass quality: HD silver mirror glass provides a sharp, true-to-color reflection without distortion. This is essential if the mirror is the foundation of your daily work. Cheaper glass causes subtle distortion, which can be tiring over time for both the stylist and the client.
- Appearance and Brand Perception: A mirror with a sleek black aluminum frame complements a modern and contemporary salon, while an oak frame creates a warmer, more personal atmosphere. It’s not just a detail—it’s part of the overall experience that customers have.
- Ease of Cleaning: In a professional setting, the mirror is cleaned several times a day. The glass can withstand regular cleaning with a dry viscose cloth or a mild cleaning solution. Nordic Style also offers a special mirror glass cleaner for a streak-free finish. Aluminum frames are not susceptible to moisture or stains.
Materials and Colors
A professional finish for any interior style
For commercial applications, aluminum frames are the most popular choice. Brushed aluminum is lightweight, durable, and moisture-resistant. The range of colors offers enough variety to complement virtually any interior style:
- Black: The boldest choice, works well in modern salons or studios with a dark color palette.
- Matte white: Works well in bright, airy spaces and creates a sense of spaciousness.
- Greige: A warm blend of gray and beige, the most versatile color that fits seamlessly into Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
- Soft gold: Adds a warm touch without being over the top.
Those looking for a warmer, more natural look can also opt for the Oak models with a solid oak frame. These work well in salons that consciously choose an organic, authentic interior. For the sleekest look—and for studios that want to create an expansive mirrored wall— frameless mirrors are the logical starting point.
