Desing Intent: Located in Karachi, this meticulously designed salon is the brainchild of a talented local entrepreneur whose exceptional hair dyeing services have garnered widespread acclaim throughout Pakistan. While the salon’s signature service revolves around hair treatments, it also offers a range of other beauty services. The salon is thoughtfully divided across three floors, each dedicated to a specific specialty: hair, nails, and makeup.

Hair Stations: Celebrating a contemporary aesthetic in an earthy palette, the hair stations exude a soft and tactile vibe through the use of textured finishes and terrazzo-like floors. The spatial experience is enhanced with a mix of wall-resting and hanging mirrors in modern geometry, creating a sense of theatrics. Textured wall surfaces, a colour-blocked ceiling, minimal furniture, and ambient lighting seamlessly blend with other elements. The overall design focuses on minimal finishes and forms, creating a subdued backdrop that allows the vibrant colours of hair tubes to pop.

Makeup, Nail & Lashes Stations: Letting the colour out, these stations feature bright wall finishes, complemented by deeper tones of upholstery and a colour-blocked ceiling adorned with linear lights. The design strikes a balance between luxury and playfulness. Functional furniture is punctuated with focused lighting, providing ample illumination for makeup, nail, and lashes services. Bespoke fixtures add a touch of uniqueness to the space, while a grunge wall with a LED sign generates engagement, becoming a photogenic spot for customers to capture their post-treatment transformation.
