[Western Music] Recommended Songs for Hair Salon In-Store BGM: Stylish Popular Tracks (1–10)
Out of TimeThe Weeknd
The Weeknd pushed the ’80s disco-to-synth-pop direction even further with his new album Dawn FM, released in January 2022, which—unsurprisingly—is a massive hit.
Among its tracks, the especially sleek, urban charm of Out of Time stands out; it’s the kind of song that would make whoever picked it for a salon’s in-store BGM look effortlessly stylish.
As it happens, this track samples MIDNIGHT PRETENDERS from Tomoko Aran’s masterpiece 1983 album Floating Space—a work by an artist essential to the history of city pop.
Before The Weeknd brought it to wider attention, this classic had already been recut as a 7-inch single in September 2021 amid the global city pop revival.
The composer is none other than Tetsuro Oda.
Tip your hat to the timeless taste of the ’80s Japanese pop scene—and let this song, together with your hairstyling skills, put your clients in the most fashion-forward mood possible!
SugarMaroon 5
I recommend a song that will make you super happy! After all, at a hair salon where you transform into a new you, everything should feel happy.
If you want to become beautiful especially for your special boyfriend or girlfriend, this is an absolute must! It’ll boost your mood to the max.
Plus, his voice is so charming.
make up sex ft. blackbearMachine Gun Kelly
If you like rock but worry it might sound a bit loud in your shop, I recommend “make up sex” by Machine Gun Kelly, the artist who helped ignite the 2000s pop-punk revival and has been on a roll ever since.
Now so influential that even Mick Jagger has cited him in interviews as a symbol of the new generation of rock stars, Kelly released Mainstream Sellout in March 2022 as his second pop-punk album, which—like its predecessor—hit No.
1 on the U.S.
charts.
If your workplace is rock- and punk-friendly, you could play the whole album, but the featured track here, “make up sex,” with hit producer blackbear, stands out as one of the mellowest and most emotive songs on the record.
It should blend naturally into a stylish in-store atmosphere without a hitch.

RushRaveena
With a voice that is both mysterious and mystical yet exquisitely soothing, customers might find themselves asking, “Who is this?” That voice belongs to Ravina, a New York–based singer-songwriter with roots in India.
Grounded in an organic, mellow sound influenced by jazz and soul, Ravina’s enchanting vocals—just as described above—wrap themselves around the listener’s heart.
In February 2022, she released her long-awaited second album, Asha’s Awakening.
Rush, a track that fuses the sophisticated sound characteristic of New York artists with South Asian elements, was released as the album’s lead single in January 2022.
It would fit perfectly as BGM for a salon with an Asian-inspired interior, too!
Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen
A classic, fun song that everyone can hum (even though it’s in English)! In a hair salon, just hearing a rhythm like this makes you feel excited about the new you with a fresh hairstyle, doesn’t it? The place feels brighter and more stylish, too.
Even while you’re waiting, it lifts your mood.
loveDEAN
This is a 2015 track by Korean R&B singer and producer DEAN in collaboration with Syd, the vocalist of The Internet.
With this song, DEAN became a major hit not only in Korea but also in the United States.
Syd’s sultry, sexy vocals and DEAN’s sweet voice make it an irresistible tune.
CYBAHSyd, Lucky Daye
Alongside artists like Frank Ocean and The Weeknd, The Internet is a band that represents alternative R&B from the 2010s onward.
Its singer, Syd—who captivates many music fans with overwhelming charisma and a one-of-a-kind voice and is highly sought after for guest appearances with various artists—also works as a solo artist.
In April 2022, she released her second solo album, Broken Hearts Club, her first in five years, fully showcasing her superb vocals and outstanding songwriting talent.
As the title suggests, the mellow sound and wistful melodies themed around her own heartbreak never feel imposing; instead, they meld gently into the listener’s heart with wonderful comfort.
The track introduced here is the album’s opening number, CYBAH, featuring popular R&B singer-songwriter Lucky Daye.
