Creates Inclusivity and Accessibility
Creating inclusivity and accessibility is the number one reason why your salon should be ADA compliant. The ADA requires businesses to provide necessary accommodations for people with disabilities. If you do not make these modifications and provide these accommodations, you will directly or indirectly discriminate against people with disabilities. You want your salon space to be inclusive of all. Therefore, complying with ADA benefits your business and its customers. It should be easy for people with disabilities to enter your salon without difficulty and easily access your services.
Helps To Avoid Potential Legal Trouble
Complying with the ADA can also help your salon avoid potential legal trouble. Every year, many businesses that do not meet ADA requirements and provide accommodations file lawsuits against people with disabilities for accidents or injuries. Without proper accommodation, it can be difficult for people in wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, etc. to navigate your business space with ease.
As a result of this problem, people with disabilities are at higher risk of injury on business property. Therefore, if you want to avoid these potential harms and lawsuits, it is in your best interest to meet ADA requirements in your salon.
Improves Overall Client Experience
Improving the overall customer experience is another way to meet ADA requirements and benefit your salon business. The main goal of the salon is to provide customers with high-quality service and experience. So, you don't want to ruin your customer's experience by not adhering to ADA guidelines. You can improve salon compliance by adding necessary parking spaces and wheelchair ramps, making doorways wide enough, providing seating and salon chairs, and allowing service animals into your commercial space. When customers know your salon accommodates them, they are more likely to return to your services.
Keep these reasons in mind and make your salon ADA compliant as you strive to become more inclusive.
