Calico Glasgow - Salon Interior

Posted by Kate
Dated: December 11, 2007 12:16 PM

Having outgrown their Glasgow salon, business partners Audrey McAllister, Lee Abercrombie and Rod Watson grabbed the opportunity to lease a larger premises formerly operated by Rita Rusk.

"We wanted to create an ultra modern workspace that was comfortable for the client and the hairdresser.

"Our vision was for the salon to have the wow factor," says Audrey.

To create Calico they stripped the salon back to its bare walls and redesigned the salon with a minimalist feel, adding large doughnut lights in green and violet as a focal point.
