The MET.N Salon project centers on a concept of "comfortable luxury and thoughtful detail," intending to create a refined yet relaxing environment where clients can enjoy high-quality hair services in a stylish setting. Adopting a modern minimalist approach, the design features marble textures, natural materials, and metallic accents that establish a visually layered and elegant atmosphere. Key attention was given to lighting, balancing natural and artificial sources to enhance both depth and warmth in the space. Concealed lighting and geometric light strips contribute artistry and a welcoming ambiance, resonating with the brand’s high-end image.

The design goes beyond aesthetics by thoughtfully considering the needs of both clients and stylists. A dedicated seating area provides stylists with a brief resting spot during lengthy treatments, demonstrating a sensitive approach to service ergonomics. The strategic layout of storage and work carts allows stylists to operate smoothly and efficiently, maintaining an organized workflow. Facing the challenge of limited space, the design team skillfully created distinct open and private zones through the use of greenery, mirrors, and contrasting materials. The reception area uniquely incorporates LED light strips that echo the brand’s initials, strengthening brand identity in a creative manner.

The space is softened by the use of curved arch elements, lending a touch of roundness to balance the modern, structured style, making the environment more approachable. The choice of gold-bronze seating and titanium-coated mirror frames adds focal points that enhance the charm and sophistication of the salon. Together, these design decisions exemplify a balance between functionality and beauty, establishing a new benchmark in salon space design.
