This contemporary and spacious salon was slotted into an empty retail unit in Solihull's central shopping precinct, and represents the second salon for owner Simon Lawson.

...a huge etched glass wall which offers ghostly glimpses...

The design features state of the art furniture and fittings from salon furniture suppliers Aston & Fincher as well as a fully equipped coffee bar at which customers can sit, wait, and enjoy a professionally made style coffee. This bar area also acts as a main reception and displays numerous salon products which can be viewed whilst drinking at the bar or booking your next appointment. The generous use of space in the front reception area portrays an air of quality and comfort.

Towards the back of the salon is a discreet backwash area which is placed behind a huge etched glass wall which offers ghostly glimpses through it and thus hints of the activity behind. The salon is based on two floors with the upstairs being a more private colouring area, whilst a VIP area is located at the rear.
