West Herts College Hair Academy, Watford

Client: West Hertfordshire College
Status: Completed September 2005


An existing storage area was converted into a state of the art hair academy, providing a professional salon environment for students.

The design is organised around a reception hub area which starts a journey through to the main salon floor and onto the final 'aspiration area'. The atmosphere of the academy is contemporary but with softer tones of colour, wooden flooring, and high quality lighting..


key points

  • complete re-branding of the facility to a more prominent part of the campus
  • sophisticated reception area with ceiling raft and graphic displays
  • efficient yet atmospheric cutting floor
  • close collaboration with Estates Department
