Hj interiors: perfectly posh salon in berkshire gets a renovation

Housed in a Grade II listed building, the new look Perfectly Posh salon in Hungerford, Berkshire is a luxurious refuge from everyday life. "I wanted to create a haven for clients, a real retreat for them to come in and forget the hustle and bustle of their daily lives whilst enjoying a truly luxurious pampering experience," explains owner Krysia Eddery. "I wanted to create something out with the ordinary and create a completely relaxed and ‘zen’ like environment for clients to feel at home and able to fully unwind." Name:  Perfectly Posh Hair Design Address: 29-30 Charnham Street, Hungerford, Berkshire Owner: Krysia Eddery Size: 2,000 sq ft. How long have you been in the premises: Less than one year How many staff: 13 – at the moment! Budget:  £26,000 Interestingly the Grade II Listed building was previously owned by Henry the VIII for one of his (many) wives and it has stood through some battles during both World War One and Two. Inside the colour scheme is fairly neutral in terms of the walls and flooring, but with added accents of purple to continue the royal theme. "Purple is traditionally associated with royalty, luxury and grandeur and this was something I researched thoroughly before deciding to utilise it both in our logo and the interior of the salon," says Krysia. She adds: "We added sumptuous mirrors finished with ornate embellishment in an antique gold finish to bring in that air of extravagance again and paired them with simple sconce lighting. In the cutting and styling area there are sections of the walls that are covered in reclaimed wooden scaffolding boards." The ceiling features black wooden beams slatted against the white roof and the light in the backwash area is made by Krysia from a branch she found in her back garden! After seeing something similar online at a high price she decided to be both creative and resourceful and attempt to create it herself. The coffee tables in the styling area also a focal point of the design in the salon as they were made from an old oak tree that was seen as unfit for use from the merchants. Krysia adds: "As an Aveda salon we are focused on our ecological impact as a salon and make a conscious effort to take responsibility of caring whilst maintaining our opulent yet accessible image."
