ClientJohn Barrett

Our client was relocating after 20 years & wanted to re-imagine his salon experience. The former sleek glass, chrome and lavender salon was organized as a series of rooms and had limited views & natural light. In contrast, the new 6,400sf salon has glazed curtain walls, 15’ high ceilings, prime views & an open plan. The salon is laid out as a bustling great room with visual connections maintained throughout. Custom tables, glazed dividers, metal armatures framing tables with standoff mirrors are complemented with custom bookshelves and displays at the perimeter.
