Worth a read from the girlies point of view if nothing else i.e. how customers behave etc. The comments on warm lighting messing the colours up seem universal and about simulating natural lighting so they don't get outside the salon and it "looks different". Love this line in there "since my electrician is my brother & he wont know what lighting I need or to suggest (electrical isn't his speciality, its carpentry)".

If you want to get the same kind of effect as outside in natural light, you'll have to get some grey lamps with a strong fan and cold shower installed.
