A Touch of Theatre - Buzby and Blue Hairdressing

Posted by Kate
Dated: April 1, 2008 3:01 PM

Nigel Faulkner and Christopher Friend have brought their own sense of theatre to historic Chichester with Buzby and Blue Hairdressing.

The former picture and framing gallery with a double frontage has been transformed into a contemporary work of art. It has a sympathetic and stylish interior that seamlessly incorporates both traditional and cutting-edge elements to create a light, bright and subtly sensual environment, with a luxurious feeling of space.

Designed by the pair in partnership with Gary Kentell of Green Circles Design and Management, the transformation process took eight weeks of intense work to complete.

“The challenge of mixing a character building with a modern design ethos has been a significant one, and we’re thrilled with the results. Client feedback has been terrific,” comments Christopher.
