Headfirst Create a Modern Mock Tudor Salon

Turning a 20s-built former umbrella factory into a contemporary salon sounds an unenviable challenge, but it was one Jeremy and Sharon Farber of Headfirst, Leeds, took on with fervor and a clear vision. The result is a 1,679sq ft salon over three floors.

"I felt that with some imagination, it could be opened up to create an exciting environment," Says Jeremy. "I liked the mock-Tudor frontage and felt a mix of traditional and contemporary would work well."

While the interior is modern, the colours and materials used complement the exterior, with muted tones on the walls, and dark browns and natural colours throughout.

"I wanted to create a subdued and sophisticated ambiance," Jeremy explains.
