Style And Mass Appeal - Clipso London

Dated: February 26, 2008 11:41 AM
When Darren Fowler opened his Clipso London franchise the challenge he faced was creating a salon with mass-market appeal, but a distinct look and atmosphere that will set it apart from the competition.
"Being in the hub of Fitzrovia, our clientele includes media people, nurses, doctors and even students – we have a real mixture of clients and we needed to appeal to them all," he explains.
The site, just a few doors down from his old salon, was formerly an art gallery and proved the perfect blank canvas for him to set about realising his vision.
He adds: "I wanted to create an urban space, with a different atmosphere for each section.
"Clients first enter a light, welcoming reception and retail area; then they walk through to a boutique-style cutting area, which has a dressing-room feel; they then walk down five concrete steps into the gallery, which has a New York loft apartment effect."
