Your salon soundtrack

There aren't too many things that Madonna gets wrong, and the Queen of Pop was spot on when she sang 'Music makes the people come together'. A good soundtrack can create a mood, get you all gooey-eyed, and make you feel relaxed in your surroundings. Get the music wrong and you can create tension, spoil a moment and ensure that people never come back.That's why it's absolutely essential that you get your salon soundtrack right: an issue that's really troubling the girls at Mamouchi Salon in Cornwall. They told us:

"We need some help. There are eight members of staff in our salon and our only problem is music. It's either too loud, too slow, too chilled or just the same old stuff being played over and over again... Have you any ideas or info about where we can get some decent funky salon music? Any ideas would be great."

We thought that rather than giving our two-penneth, we'd ask you to share the benefit of your experiences to help out your fellow professionals. So what advice do you have? What tunes are beating out in your salon at the moment? Do you have a favourite salon soundtrack? Where do you go to get just the right music for your salon? Oh and just for the sake of humour, we'd like to hear your horror stories too. Have you ever got it totally wrong or worked in a salon that spent the whole day playing ABBA hits? Go on, tell us about it...
