Classic but Contemporary Salon Design at Andrea and Achille Hair Group

Posted by Kate
Dated: September 14, 2009 11:00 AM

When Roberto Dicuffa decided he wanted to start his own salon in Oxford as a franchise of the family business the Andrea and Achille Hair Group, he had a clear vision of what he wanted to create.

"I wanted a light, relaxing environment, with a contemporary feel but keeping some of the classic features," he explains. "Our other salons will follow this style but will keep their own identity."

The team chose subtle shades for the main colour scheme - creams, browns and forest green. "We are planning on having this decor for a few years so didn't want to be too funky as it can date quickly. Keeping it neutral means we can add other colours through ornaments, cushions or pictures," Roberto explains.

The 1,076sq ft salon benefits from huge front windows, which flood the salon with daylight. The rest of the salon is lit with simple halogen lights and a large feature chandelier.

Roberto is delighted with his contemporary salon and is most proud of the finishing touches and the attention to detail.

"Many hairdressers wouldn't bother with scented candles or small touches, but I think it makes so much difference and our clients love it," he concludes.
