What would be the cheapest way to decorate my basement into a hair salon the basement is cement and it has?

plumbing already hooked up. I would have to add a bathroom paint the walls, tile the floor, get electric work done such as a 220 line, and cover the beams in the ceiling if possible. Any suggestions would be great and I want to do the work myself.What would be the cheapest way to decorate my basement into a hair salon the basement is cement and it has?
Okay...if we are talking 'cheap'.... without 'looking cheap... here we go....





Only tile the bathroom floor... not the entire basement.


Make the bathroom look like a mini-spa. Bathrooms say a lot about a place.





As far as the floor of the basement goes... paint it... or stain it. You will incur sooo much expense if you try to tile the entire basement floor. Just avoid it. Painted cement... and stained cement looks very sharp. It can be nearly any color you want and it is very durable. It is just going to be getting hair on it anyway.





Add some big fluffy throw rugs placed strategically throughout the basement to define the seating area or the reception area. This will add warmth and style to the salon.





If you have sliding glass doors or windows... make sure they are always open to allow as much natural light to enter the area as possible.





For the ceiling.... definitely a 'drop ceiling' is the cheapest way to go. This is where you get the ceiling tiles that lay up in a network of metal framework. This enables the electricity to be run through everything very easily.





Lighting will be your biggest challenge. Make sure to give thought to where it is the 'darkest' in your basement... and where you will be working the most. You will need GREAT lighting to keep it from looking like a dungeon down there.
