Salons have certainly declined over the years, but they are resurfacing again in a world fatigued with digital experiences. Below are a loose set of maxims for hosting a successful salon as taken from a video discussing the topic from Kathy Griffin.

1. Invite no more than fourteen people.
2. Select guests like you would cast interesting characters for a play.
3. Assign a guest of honor.
4. Require formal clothing such as suits and dresses.
5. Dine at a round table.
6. Prohibit smartphones at the table.
