This hair salon is a result of collaboration between designer Rina Lovko and managers of Gorodskaya Parikmaherskaya - due to the small space of the salon, its design had to be really thought through to become a comfortable space for hairdressers and their guests.
Concept
42 sq.m hall is nominally divided into two zones, but visitors can sit wherever they like - regardless of their gender. Interestingly, some furniture pieces are: restored soviet armchairs, found in old hairdressing salons in Kyiv, some chairs of the late 70's, found in former soviet laundry. Those were passed to a friend from his grandfather. There's also a restored old chemist's cabinet from the hospital - now it is used for cosmetics.
Geometric shapes on the walls of the salon are also present in its brand identity.
