Vintage Meets Contemporary Salon Design at Green Mango

Green Mango is hardly an obvious name for a hair salon - it's different, it's alternative and it certainly grabs your attention - which perfectly reflects the newly-opened Portsmouth salon.

The salon was designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible so an energy efficient water heater and under-floor heating was installed.

While the look encorporates a hardwood, antique bureau as a reception desk, which stands beside two period piece leather smoking chairs sourced from a flea market, to give a feeling of old meets new to create a welcoming environment with a boutique hotel feel.

The end result is a salon which not only appeals to fashion-conscious locals, but to anyone who wants an eco-friendly salon. "It's vintage meets contemporary," concludes Lorraine.
