Design notes

By Stephen Ewings, Aston & Fincher salon designer

"The Christian Gill salon, based in Paris, boasts a modern design encompassing clean lines, mood lighting and a bold design. The secondary fluorescent lighting adds an area of interest to what could be a very straight forward looking salon. The added bonus of this type of lighting is that your salon can be updated in the drop of a hat with a set of new gel strips. This allows Christian Gill to modernise the salon seasonally to give it a fresh look.

Colour is a basic element in the design of any salon. It affects us psychologically, emotionally and physically. Colour provides warmth, stimulation, a sense of wellbeing and excitement. The interior and exterior attracts the attention of potential clients, to ensure that the client desires to enter your salon. When the client leaves the salon, they should leave feeling satisfied and with the desire to return."
