Design notes

Vive le difference, says Stephen Ewings, Aston & Fincher salon designer
"When designing a male-oriented salon, you have to remember that men's needs are very different to women's. Their decisions are driven by desire to be efficient and productive. So ‘in and out’ tends to be the mindset of the typical male. This mindset needs to be reflected in your salon interior, by making the whole experience and journey easy."
