With these premises Sonia Portela comes to us for the design of her first hairdressing salon as a personal project and with clear intentions to mark an aesthetic tendency that represents her professional ethic and her target of clients.

The potential client on a boulevard with high pedestrian traffic had to feel the presence of the establishment. For this, we take the façade to the exterior line of the premises, marking the entrance to direct the client and at the same time generate an open waiting room full of natural light. We created a reticular design with black lacquered ironwork to enhance the sense of traditional elegance that represents this profession.

A microperforated sheet metal that generates a differential part of the roof is incorporated on them. Although this works in a way that marks the different functions of the space, false ceiling in the waiting room, entrance and collection counter and forging seen in the work area, the sheet enhances that hierarchical component of the glass volumes.

The subtlety of the curve has been sought, the smoothness of the lines that transmits the naturalness of the hair has been represented in light chestnut wood providing the necessary warmth point for comfort combined with black iron details. The sincerity of materials such as the exposed wrought ceiling, the polished concrete pavement and the iron are counteracted by the elegance and nobility of the wood generating a refined industrial result, a place in which to treat the hair is something more than a need.

The clients’ coats are part of the division between the waiting room and the work area, which causes the visual communication between these two spaces to be sifted. The collection desk, besides being protected from prying eyes, is located in a way that allows controlling the most relevant areas of the establishment and has the dual function of also housing the makeup position.
