The owner of Current Salon wanted to draw people into the new location by creating a unique salon with studio-style open spaces—Soho-inspired, high-end, and chic. With a goal to make the salon experience a relaxing retreat, crisp white walls, Carrera marble, and polished brass accents contrast with rusticated concrete tiles and textural applied brick walls—the aesthetic of a sophisticated urban loft. Brushed brass custom mirrors also enhance the height of the space, while copper and brass lighting above the reception desk add sparkle and draw the eye from the street. Large, full-wall custom graphics create a strong identity for the salon—a vibrant eclectic backdrop.

Shampoo stations are separated to create a more private experience, while the styling area is visible to the outside so passersby can see into the space. Current Salon features a color bar, which allows clients to partake in the hair coloring discussion, and watch as their custom color is mixed. There is also a private room for special events and bridal parties. Retail is available in backlit niches adjacent to the reception and waiting area; a coffee bar is available to serve customers while they have their hair processed; and comfortable custom banquette-style seating is designed as a feature as well as function.
