Its all a preference, stained concrete - i would worry about people slipping, when its wet it is slick. Laminate flooring is nice - u have to get the corners which will hide the dust balls. Carpet is great is u are willing to change it every 2 yrs and have it steam cleaned a few times a year.

We love our stained concrete!! We are always getting compliments on it!

I would love to show you pictures - how can I attach some when they have such a big file size? how do I get around that?

I like the stained concrete - very easy care.

I was just in a "Justice" store shopping with my daughter. They have a floor that is painted white, then they put "confetti" and glitter on it, then it is covered with a THICK acrylic finish -- almost looks like when you see those bugs incased in acrylic? I'm not describing it well, but it looked great and would make a great tanning application! Maybe sort of like the "naturestone" look that they advertise for garage floors, but then with a thick, glossy sheer acrylic coat over it? I'd consider it for another salon.

White commercial tile with dark specs in it
Strip it when you want ,washes easy,spray buff every couple weeks to keep the shine and harden the wax

I have the tile also - it was there already. I agree - very easy care, looks great. Definitely worth investing in a buffer so you can keep it "shiny"! Once a year or so we strip and re-wax, otherwise just buff and add a coat here or there.
