I am looking into leasing office space to convert the existing offices into private hair salon suites. Each office suite will have its own hair salon sink installed. This model is different from most salons since normally the sinks are shared by all stylist and located in one area. With this model each stylist will have a private office with styling chair, sink , hair dryer ect.
I have received a quote from a contractor and want to make sure I know exactly what all the plumbing requirements are for hair salons and any other plumbing concerns that I should be aware of before signing the lease.
I will need to have 10 sinks installed and plumbing to hook up a washing machine. Currently there are 2 bathrooms and a kitchen area with plumbing but I was told that existing plumbing can't be leveraged because there is no basement. They would need to break through the concrete and install drains then have them inspected by the town. Then they would hang plumbing on the walls using plastic piping.
1) Does this sound like the most cost effective solution or would there be alternative options?
2)Is there anything thing I should know to ensure I don't run into trouble with approvals from the town?
3) Are there special requirements for installing plumbing with hair salons vs oridnary commercial plumbing? One contractor mentioned I may need a separate system for disposing of chemicals (i.e.) hair color.
