Designing a Functional and Aesthetic Cosmetology Program with Professional Equipment
February 6, 2026
Kaemark, with its years-long presence in the animal health interior design service industry, has understood one thing very clearly: people and pets deserve to feel safe, supported, and seen. But with so much chaos in a veterinary clinic, how do you ensure ultimate hygiene to keep your staff, animals, and their owners safe? That’s where the right choice of materials comes into the picture. At Kaemark, our focus is on selecting surfaces that stand the test of time while also being convenient to clean, even with unpredictable pet movements and a swift workflow. For this purpose, stainless steel has emerged as the most amazing material.
Wondering how? Let us explore this further in the following sections.
Why We Swear by Stainless Steel
Let’s get honest for a second: not all equipment is created equal. We've walked into clinics with battered, chipped surfaces and wondered how anyone keeps up. The truth? Most materials can’t keep pace with the chaos of real-life veterinary care. That’s why stainless steel is our champion.
Picture getting back to a dry and clean exam table just within a few seconds after a Great Dane with muddy paws jumps off. Imagine how amazing it will be to have a surface that doesn’t hold on to any nooks and crannies or leaves scope for bacteria to stay and grow. With stainless steel—especially on our Stainless Dry Tables—cleanup is truly thorough yet effortless. Since it features a highly non-porous surface, there are no leftovers from the last treatment on the table. So no more smells or poor experiences.
Real Talk: Workflows That Work With You
Let’s be real—veterinary teams don’t have time to mess around with fussy equipment. We designed our solutions for those long days when you’re juggling emergencies, wellness exams, and the occasional chicken (yes, it happens). For example, have you ever had to clean up after a messy dental? Our Wet Tables drain in seconds, so you’re not left dealing with standing water while preparing for the next case.
Our Drop-in Tubs and Wash Basins? We made them deep and sturdy after hearing one too many stories about staff ending up wetter than their four-legged patients. If you’re wrestling a Saint Bernard or a tiny, wiggly spaniel, it doesn’t matter. Your equipment shouldn’t slow you down, and ours won’t.
And because space is often an afterthought (but shouldn’t be), our Folding Exam Tables let you pivot—literally. In smaller or multi-purpose rooms, you can transform a space for a patient exam in the morning and use it for something entirely different by noon. We have always been a little proud of how much freedom this small design tweak has given to staff across the country.
The Power of Design, It’s All About the Details
We know firsthand that every practice is different. Maybe you need a treatment area that flows naturally from surgery prep to recovery, or cabinets that fit your specific instruments and never feel “in the way.” We don’t just sell equipment—we design systems. When you pair our stainless steel gear with Kaemark Casework, the transition from surface to storage is seamless. We build out every nook and cranny to reduce “dead zones,” because, as we’ve all noticed, fur and dust have superpowers when it comes to finding hidden corners.
Working with a Designer for Veterinary Practices (like our own in-house experts) means the whole room works for you, not against you. Smooth workflows aren’t a nice bonus—they’re the difference between a team that feels constantly one step behind versus one that’s confident and calm. We've seen both—and we know which one we'd want for our pets.
Built to Stand Up to Life (and a Few Rowdy Pups)
Let’s not sugarcoat it—kennels and containment systems take a beating. Over time, we’ve had our share of calls from clinics needing something that finally stands up to heavy use—claws, bites, and all the rest. Stainless steel kennels are our answer. Smoothed edges, strong latches, and a finish that makes cleaning easy? That’s not marketing; that's survival. We’ve watched customers hose down a row of kennels after a long night, grateful that there’s no lingering odor and nothing sticks around that shouldn’t.
Air quality matters too, especially when several recovering patients are sharing the space. When you opt for porous surfaces, you will have to be prepared to be welcomed by a nasty smell in the clinic every morning. However, with stainless steel, there’s no fear of something being trapped or stuck on the surface. The result? You start your shift in a space that smells clean and doesn’t disturb your focus.
We’re People, Too—So We Design for People
Here at Kaemark, we believe the heart of a clinic isn’t just what you see under the bright operatory lights—it’s the people. Everything we design, we do with your staff in mind. We think about the staff member who has been working hard for ten hours, or the doctor who is attending two to three emergencies at a time. Our goal is to make their work life easier through our solutions, so that every lift, bend, and clean-up doesn’t feel tedious.
Here's what we focus on, every time:
- Measurable Value: We’d rather have you as a customer for life than see you frustrated by rust or repairs. Our stainless steel equipment lasts, and that means fewer replacements and a better return for you.
- Legendary Service: Stuff happens. When it does, we don’t make excuses; we offer real solutions, fast. We’ll always answer your call.
- Workflow Efficiency: There’s no better resource than time, which means you need to save it by getting well-designed, integrated workspaces. This way, you will enjoy what you do, that is, caring for animals.
Picking Equipment and Surfaces for Your Clinic? Consider These Factors
Many individuals make the mistake of believing that they only need to review the specifications and color palettes when making a choice about which equipment to pick. What else is left? The kind of experience you want your staff and patients to have. You just need to ask yourself some simple questions, such as:
- What do you find to be the most frustrating in your everyday routine?
- Which corners in your clinics are the hardest to clean?
- How important is it for you to present your clinic as a professional and trustworthy one?
Of course, these may seem unnecessary to many, but we urge every clinic to ask such challenging questions, get hands-on with materials, and picture what the next five years will look like with each investment.
Better Surfaces for Unlocking a Better Experience
Of course, everyone who owns a clinic cares about it, the team that works in it, and the animals that come to it seeking the best healthcare standards. At Kaemark, we understand that. We also believe quality equipment is just the starting point. Together, we can build a cleaner, more efficient, and more welcoming practice that everyone—four feet or two—can feel good coming back to.
