Mark Leeson Body & Mind, Regent Street, Mansfield

Client: Mark Leeson and Richard Darby
Status: Completed December 2005


This former Fads home decor shop was transformed into a boutique-hotel style hair and beauty salon for award winning Stylist Mark Leeson.


The project represented an expansion of an already successful business and a departure into beauty treatments. The design is strikingly contemporary yet exotic and tranquil at times. The salon boasts 20 cutting stations, 5 backwash and 2 beauty treatment rooms. This development in hair salon interior aesthetics marked a move away from the established minimal style of the time.

key points

  • close collaboration with the client at all stages of the project
  • dramatic lighting scheme to contribute to boutique style interior
  • bespoke joinery of reception reminiscent of a hotel lobby interior
  • shortlisted for Hairdressers Journal "Salon Design of the Year" 2005
