Gentle blow: Hair salon takes on 50s minimalism

26 : 09 : 2013 Beauty : Dressing Room : David Thulstrup

Copenhagen – The BLOW salon in Copenhagen does not contain any scissors. This is a blow-dry bar, where women can have their hair dried in a number of hairstyles in a stripped-back interior.

Designed by Studio David Thulstrup, the hi-lo juxtaposition of mixed materials – from yellow Giallo Siena marble for table tops to wood and full-length mirrors – reflects the Geo Luxe aesthetic. The designers wanted to create a minimalist interior that harks back to a 1950s dressing room, with round light bulbs installed in the mirrors that replicate an old-school vanity and provide soft flattering light.

‘Through the concept, colour, materials and lighting, [we] have created a place for women who value the beauty of looking great every day,’ says the studio.
