Salon Epoxy Flooring Melbourne done properly

Salon floors get a specific kind of abuse: bleach, peroxide, permanent colour and acetone landing on them daily, plus hair clippings that have to be swept up between every client. Timber stains, vinyl lifts at the seams, and tile grout goes permanently discoloured. A seamless epoxy floor solves all three problems at once.

Chemical resistance is the whole point here. Permanent hair colour will stain almost any porous or light-coloured floor, and bleach will strip the finish off timber and lift the pattern out of vinyl. A properly sealed epoxy floor is non-porous, so spilled colour sits on the surface and wipes off rather than soaking in — provided the topcoat is specified for it, which is why we use polyaspartic rather than a standard clear seal.

Cleaning is the day-to-day benefit. Hair clippings sweep straight off a seamless surface with no grout lines or board seams to catch them, which matters when you are turning a station around between clients. There is no sealing or re-grouting schedule and nothing to lift at the edges near the basins.

Salons are also one of the best applications for metallic epoxy. A hand-worked metallic pour gives a mirror-gloss floor with real depth and movement that photographs exceptionally well — and for a client-facing business where the fit-out is part of the brand, the floor becomes a feature rather than a background. It costs more than a solid colour but it is a genuine point of difference in a competitive market.

Most salons are 40–90m² and can be turned around in two to three days. We work around bookings where possible and can stage the floor in sections, though a single continuous pour gives the best finish on metallic work.

What You Get

No grout lines, board seams or edges for hair clippings to catch in between clients.

Metallic feature floors

Hand-poured mirror-gloss finishes with real depth — a fit-out feature, not just a surface.

Wet area coving

Sealed junction behind basins and backwash units so water cannot get under the floor.

Common Questions

Salon Epoxy FAQs

Anything not covered here, call 0451 980 606 and we will talk it through.

How much does salon epoxy flooring cost in Melbourne?

A solid colour salon floor runs $70–$90 per square metre and flake $75–$100/m². Metallic feature floors are $100–$160/m². For a typical 40–90m² salon that puts a complete floor between roughly $3,000 and $9,000 depending on the finish, including diamond grinding and polyaspartic topcoat.

Will hair dye and bleach stain an epoxy floor?

Not a properly sealed one. Epoxy finished with a polyaspartic topcoat is non-porous, so permanent colour, peroxide and toner sit on the surface and wipe away. This is specifically why we do not use a standard clear sealer on salon work — the topcoat is what does the resisting.

Is epoxy better than vinyl or tiles for a salon?

For most salons, yes. Vinyl lifts at the seams near basins and discolours under bleach; tile grout stains permanently and traps clippings. Epoxy is seamless with no grout lines, sweeps clean in seconds and can be coved up the wall in wet areas so water cannot get underneath.

How long does a salon floor take to install?

Two to three days for a typical 40–90m² salon, plus removal time if there is existing vinyl, tile or timber to come up. We plan the program around your bookings, and low-odour products keep the disruption down.

Can you do a metallic floor in a salon?

Yes, and salons are one of the best applications for it. A hand-worked metallic pour produces a mirror-gloss floor with genuine depth and movement that photographs extremely well for social media — for a client-facing business the floor becomes part of the brand rather than just a surface.

What happens around the basins and backwash units?

Wet zones get the coating coved up the wall to form a sealed junction, so water cannot travel under the floor or behind the skirting. We also specify a higher slip resistance in those areas without making the rest of the salon harder to clean.
