Transforming Salon Experiences with Silent Appointments
Founded in 2020 in Cary, N.C., Sunday Salon set out to redefine the traditional salon experience. The founders saw a growing need for a serene, personalized environment—and they delivered just that. In 2021, the salon introduced a groundbreaking concept: silent appointments. Here’s what makes them unique:
- Clients can opt out of small talk during their visit.
- A peaceful, stress-free environment replaces traditional salon chatter.
- The focus is on relaxation and personal rejuvenation.
By eliminating the pressure of conversation, Sunday Salon has created a space where clients can fully unwind and enjoy their self-care experience. This thoughtful approach has set Sunday Salon apart in the industry, attracting customers who value high-quality service and a calming ambiance.
Why Silent Appointments Matter
Initially introduced as a response to the communication challenges of mask-wearing during the pandemic, silent appointments quickly became a client favorite. Customers loved the chance to:
- Unwind without the expectation of conversation.
- Focus on work or simply enjoy the quiet.
- Escape from the noise and stress of daily life.
As co-founder Andrew Edwards explained in the TIME article, “It’s just the concept of the individual in the chair not having to engage. They can sit there and just relax.” This innovative service aligns with a broader movement toward silent services—from silent rides to silent book clubs—where individuals seek tranquility in their daily routines.
A Broader Impact on the Industry
TIME’s article highlights how businesses like Sunday Salon are pioneering this growing trend. Silent services are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to cater to diverse needs, including:
- Clients who prefer solitude over social interactions.
- Individuals facing language barriers.
- Those seeking a mental health break through quiet, relaxing environments.
Lisa Edwards, Sunday Salon’s Creative Director, emphasized, “Silent appointments are not just about quiet; they are about creating a space where clients can fully relax and rejuvenate.” This dedication to holistic well-being ensures every client leaves feeling refreshed and revitalized.
