Context
From a Segmented Beauty Studio to a Hair Salon with Optimized Flow The space is located in a newly constructed building. Prior to the transformation, it operated as a beauty studio specializing in body shaping and massage. The interior suffered from a series of functional and aesthetic limitations:
-
PVC/Double-glazed partitions | These visually segmented the area, creating a cramped and oppressive feeling.
-
Drop ceiling / Coffered ceiling | An element that evokes an office environment rather than a premium setting for beauty services.
-
Lack of a dedicated laundry area | A crucial detail for daily operations.
The challenge was to completely reconfigure the internal logic of the space without making massive interventions to the infrastructure. Our intervention: We transformed a chaotically partitioned space into a hair salon with a professional workflow and a modern-industrial character.
Objective
The owner wanted a premium hair studio that would attract a high-end clientele. Her vision was clear:
-
A space with a modern, slightly industrial look.
-
A strong visual identity that is easily recognizable on social media.
-
A backdrop where photos of blonde hair would turn out perfectly (meaning the wall color should not cast undertones or create unwanted reflections).
The space needed to be:
-
Exclusive yet comfortable | Refined and discreet, rather than opulent.
-
Photogenic | Designed to be shared organically by clients.
-
Functional | With an optimized layout for six cutting stations, three backwash units, a color bar, a desk, and a kitchenette.
Unlike traditional projects, here the interior design became a strategic branding tool, not just an aesthetic arrangement.
