They want a special hair salon that warms people with energy and children’s fun.

IDEA

The main idea of spacing is locating a bar at the central, then connecting with other divisions. We manipulate different shapes of mirrors and various kinds of lighting to create changeable atmosphere of each room.

The huge mountain-shaped mirrors and walls in hair cutting area overlap their reflections by lighting. The moveable egg-shaped mirrors and the lawn on the ceiling in hair coloring area interest the space by reversing routine.

The curve compartment with lighting band isolate VIP Room 1 from public to noble.The hair salon is only 98.0 sqm, but we create five featured spaces with lighting to make it merge into one specific studio.
