The client was keen to create the feeling of comfortable luxury - an inviting space which offers a place to socialise and relax whilst being pampered.

Working in collaboration with Frank&Faber, neighbourhood studio introduced a soft palette of creams and pinks for the main salon styling area and a subdued racing green was chosen for its understated elegance in the rear room. The contrasting palettes help create definition between the two spaces. Douglas Fir with brass detailing used for the styling bars, as well as hanging plants at high level, add texture and warmth to the space.

Aer was recently voted one of the 6 best blow-dry bars by Vogue alongside fellow client George Northwood.
