After coordinating the remodel of our client’s Pemberton home, she asked us to assist her with the launch of her new business, Austin’s first modern, upscale nail salon in the heart of the 2nd Street District. The salon is focused on natural, organic and “ethical beauty” and offer their clients an elevated experience using specialty products and innovative practices. They wanted a space that reinforced their values, natural and organic approach with a relaxed, yet sophisticated vibe.
Upon entering the salon, guests are greeted with a soft and neutral color palette that evoke a sense of calm. The furnishings are plush and comfortable. The nail stations were thoughtfully arranged to maximize comfort and convenience for both clients and salon technicians. The black and gold pendants were added to provide dimension and character. Brass accents and detailing in the furniture and custom art with the owner’s favorite quotes reflect the personality of the business.
The environment we created together brought together the client’s vision of a clean, modern, fresh and inviting space that was the perfect complement to her brand. Lacquer expanded to a second location at the Domain. We kept the aesthetic consistent with the original location to reflect their brand identity.
