Hair salon

Renovation of a timber warehouse in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, Tokyo, into a hair salon.The client, Hiroyuki Nagae, approached us with the idea of creating a place that could offer a unique experience beyond the conventional format of a hair salon. In addition to everyday salon work, the space was intended to accommodate seminars for fellow hairdressers, photoshoots, and pop-up events by local shops. Kenta Hasegawa Kenta Hasegawa In response, while preserving the building’s generous scale, large mirrors and shelving units with integrated power outlets were suspended from ceiling-mounted rails, allowing the space to be reconfigured for different activities. Pulled into the centre, they define the primary salon layout, while they ca... More

As part of an international hairdressing chain’s rebranding to “C&SH,” MT.A’s design influenced both the visual and conceptual identity of the brand. A material palette of oak, metal, tile, and exposed brick merges authenticity with sophistication. This understated yet luxurious selection aligns with the brand's new identity, bringing warmth and a premium, welcoming atmosphere. Custom furniture enhances the functionality of the space: shelving units vary in height to showcase products to passersby, while hairdresser cabinets incorporate hidden wiring for future scalability. Maria Sher Special touches include a custom black bag chair from Minsk, quirky and contemporary, as well as bag stands made from 500-ye... More

This project began with a study on the outcomes created within a hair salon.The Juno Hair Suwon Time Villas branch, located inside a department store, minimizes large open-facing areas and instead allows glimpses of the interior through subtle voids between masses. This composition encourages the interior to function as a more private space. NAMSEUNGROK NAMSEUNGROK NAMSEUNGROK NAMSEUNGROK NAMSEUNGROK NAMSEUNGROK The layering of human hair and the volumetric effects created by perms were actively reflected in the spatial design. Every edge and boundary of the mass was shaped with curves to capture the soft and flowing image conveyed by curved forms. Through this approach, the brand’s image was expressed a... More

Prime Beauty Space became one of those projects where our philosophy at Futuris Architects found its purest form. The client came to us with a vision of a space that would reflect beauty not only as a service but as an experience. From the very beginning, we knew that this interior needed to feel precise yet emotional, minimal yet luxurious. It had to inspire confidence the moment someone stepped inside. We approached the design through elegant minimalism, a principle that allows every line, surface, and texture to carry meaning. The salon unfolds in calm tones of beige and white, softened by natural light and delicate contrasts. At the entrance, the words “Beauty starts here” greet every visitor, setting the mood for what foll... More

Elephant & Castle is a two-level hair salon in the center of Athens, conceived as an urban interior landscape with references to the materiality of a public space in the city. Housed within a typical Athenian shell, the interior is transformed into an environment of care and formal repetition. Margarita Yoko NIkitaki Margarita Yoko NIkitaki Margarita Yoko NIkitaki Trail Practice’s aim was to integrate the space into its existing context, not through mimicry but by setting the new in dialogue with the old. Spatially, this translated into the creation of a dual system: a full-length mirror acting as a diffusion mechanism, and a shelving wall composed of Dionysos marble shelves and white metallic storage units. Betwee... More

A New Space, Born from Reduction The name RED derives from reduction a gesture of subtraction and return. Through a process of reconfiguring the initial plan, the design arrived at an extreme minimal composition, stripped down to its essentials. Norihito Yamauchi Norihito Yamauchi Norihito Yamauchi The interior is finished with simple paint; the façade, clad in tiles. Lighting is composed of spotlights fixed to a basic track system. Chairs and mirrors were selected in response to the owner’s preferences. The architect’s intent is distilled into the layout and minimalist detailing.

In the same way, every building has its personality, complete with imperfections. Confronting these quirks instead of fixing them offers an opportunity to create unique spaces. Embracin... More

Planning for a hair salon on the second floor of a building in a quiet commercial area. The goal was to create an inclusive space that would stand out with the people who use it and the interior fixtures that will be added in the future. Therefore, the existing structure was treated aggressively, and a minimum number of rooms and infrastructure facilities were planned. Tomoyuki Kusunose Tomoyuki Kusunose Tomoyuki Kusunose Likewise, fixtures such as mirrors, shelves, and cash register counters were designed as a massive mass to have a sense of affinity with the concrete of the frame. The mirrors are movable, which allows the space to be used for events and other purposes in addition to the hair salon. Tomoyuki Kusunose... More

One of the most incredible houses in the city appeared as a gift to us. Of post-modern architecture, dating back to the 80s, it was intact, with all its original features: wooden floors, granite, marble, accessories, and fixtures, and the entire structure in exposed concrete. It fit perfectly with the idea the clients desired for Casa B/. Marcos Fertonani Marcos Fertonani Marcos Fertonani Marcos Fertonani We found in the house itself the solutions for the project's concept and sought to go further, highlighting all the potential it offered us. The concept: the house would continue to be a home for the clients, cozy and welcoming. Marcos Fertonani Marcos Fertonani Then came the challenge, to adapt to the needs... More

Despite the smaller surface area of the salon, the goal of the salon's design was to create a sense of comfort and privacy akin to larger hair salons. Within the open space, we placed a feature with movable curtains that provide privacy in an otherwise partially glazed structure. Miran Kambič Miran Kambič The central circular element is separated from the rest of the salon by a wooden floor, and the opening or closing of it is facilitated by movable curtains. These curtains add dynamism to the space and, through their movement, shape different atmospheres. The transparent fabric of the curtains introduces complexity and depth to the interior. Miran Kambič Miran Kambič Above the wooden circular floor, a mirror is suspen... More

This is a hair salon located on a local roadside. Cars come and go all day long on the front road and most of the surrounding area is occupied by parking. But three-fourths of the city area is covered in forest, where forestry is flourishing here and timber has long been transported by raft. Although the utilization of local resources is being promoted, the transition to wooden non-residential low-rise buildings has not progressed. Yosuke Ohtake Yosuke Ohtake Yosuke Ohtake The client requested bright spaces, ventilation performance effective against viruses, and a sustainable architecture to ensure this. Is it possible to create a natural architecture that reflects these diverse conditions? Rather than thinking about the des... More

A place for relaxation and rejuvenation, Salon Olivine provides luxury hair and beauty experiences that help guests look and feel their best. For their recent interior fitout, Chandra Laine Design Inc. sought to create a space that actively promotes inclusive and restorative self-care through an aesthetic reflective of ethos.  With an abundance of daylight from the salon’s generous ceiling height windows revealing the interior architecture’s clean lines, warm natural materials, and quiet luxurious finishes—the design team needed quality luminaires that would complement the aesthetic, while supporting the salon’s functional performance.   MJay Photography Inc.
