For our latest lookbook,<\/a> we’ve collected hair salons<\/a> that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional, including a salon with a galvanised-steel sound wall and one with a “dripping shampoo” ceiling.<\/p>\n

Located all over the world, from Stockholm to Beijing, these salons have all been decorated in striking colours or materials.<\/p>\n

Their designs range from more industrial-style interiors, as in a Japanese salon<\/a> with exposed-concrete details, to spaces decorated with warm pastel colours and organic shapes.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring interiors with built-in sofas<\/a>, autumnal living spaces<\/a> and interiors featuring DJ booths<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A ceiling made from form-cut plexiglass<\/a> and designed to look like dripping shampoo greets visitors at this Stockholm salon, which has a colour palette of soft pink, peach and turquoise hues.<\/p>\n

Designed by architecture studio ASKA<\/a> for the Maria Nila haircare brand, the salon also features organic shapes “inspired by elements found in nature such as the forest, ocean, coral reefs and caves”.<\/p>\n

LIM, Japan, by Schemata Architects<\/a><\/p>\n

Located in Osaka<\/a>, Japan, this salon was designed by local studio Schemata Architects<\/a> to have the feel of an industrial warehouse.<\/p>\n

The studio used steel fixtures, clear PVC curtains and mirrors hung on pulleys to create the right industrial atmosphere, and left concrete columns and beams exposed throughout the space.<\/p>\n

Ego Hair Salon, China, by IS Architecture and Design<\/a><\/p>\n

Space-age design informed the interior of this hair salon and cosmetic spa<\/a> in Beijing<\/a>, which has curved avocado-green walls and ceilings.<\/p>\n

“We were looking to create a space that was relaxing and cosy but at the same time vitalising and somehow surprising,” IS Architecture and Design founder Fabrizio Gurrado told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

Little Faktory, Sweden, by Westblom Krasse Arkitektkontor<\/a><\/p>\n

This minimalist hair salon in Sweden has an interior that was informed by architect Carlo Scarpa<\/a>‘s geometric designs as well as the muted colours of 1920s swimming baths.<\/p>\n

The 220-square-metre basement space, which is more than a hundred years old, was renovated to reveal its original textured concrete<\/a> walls and exposed steel structure. Circular mirrors and counters in bright colours decorate the space.<\/p>\n

Designed to invoke the mood of 1980s Miami, the Qali hair salon in Vancouver<\/a>‘s Chinatown neighbourhood has candy-hued furniture and a number of art deco features.<\/p>\n

Local firm Studio Roslyn<\/a> added playful details, such as decorative fringed wall and ceiling decorations and a circular hole in the wall.<\/p>\n

Mood, Spain, by Casa Antill\u00f3n<\/a><\/p>\n

Bold mint-green ceilings contrast galvanised-steel details and white brick walls in this Madrid salon by Spanish studio Casa Antill\u00f3n<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ceiling was sprayed with insulation foam to create a bumpy finish before being coloured green<\/a>. The same colour was applied to the salon’s support columns and the thick ceiling beam to “accentuate its longitudinal axis”.<\/p>\n
