Obsession Hair & Day Spa, The Mailbox, Birmingham

Client: Obsession
Status: Completed September 2001


This prestigious project set in Birmingham's trendy Mailbox development is a continuation of our work for the client at The Belfry Golf Centre.


This high quality scheme combines a hair salon, manicure area, salon school, beauty treatment rooms, juice bar, steam and sauna areas, and a relaxation retreat room. Aesthetically the design was closely controlled with a limited colour and material pallette which was limited to walnut, aluminium, and subtle colours. The main salon floor is articulated by a series of central islands beneath a feature lighting canopy.

key points

  • ground floor predominantly for hair and manicure, first floor for beauty treatments and spa
  • mezzanine floor area for staff offices
  • impressive reception area with 'arrivals' and 'departures'
  • bespoke joinery combined with phillips starck furniture
