A salon needs a camera on the till and counter, one on the entrance and one over the waiting area. Never place cameras where clients change or are treated in private; point them at the door and the till instead. Salons lose cash at the till, products from the shelves, and phones and bags in the waiting area, so those are the views worth recording.
Key takeaways
- Till, door and waiting area.
- Keep cameras out of private treatment spaces.
- Display a sign.
- Back up recordings from the till.

06Frequently asked questions
Can I put a camera in the styling area?
A wide view of the main floor is common, but avoid close shots of clients and never record private treatment or changing areas.
How many cameras does a small salon need?
Often three to four: till, door, waiting area and the product shelf.
Do salons need a music system too?
Most do; see our guide to salon music systems.
Do I need to tell clients?
Yes. A visible sign at the entrance is the minimum; footage of people is personal data in Kenya.
