Kitch is a small but larger-than-life salon based on a 1950s kitchen fantasy. Like something from inside a Tim Burton daydream, the space is designed to recreate the nostalgia of having your hair done in the kitchen, surrounded by your best friends. It’s a riot of sugary pastels, clever storage and custom-built features that make every inch work harder. It’s fun, functional and totally unique.
Almost everything was made bespoke by a company who usually do prop design and festival builds. Our trolleys slot under the mirrors and look like retro cookers.
Every mirror has a door with storage behind – the fridge door is actually a cupboard and the tumble dryer door is the fridge! Even the reception desk is a giant lilac washing machine with our logo spinning in the drum. Everything – including the graphics – was designed just for us.
We’ve used acrylic tiles throughout the bottom half of the salon because they’re stain-proof and super practical. The boxed-in backwash area is done in the same material – it’s warm, waterproof and built to last. We designed everything ourselves to be multifunctional, space-saving and long-term, so there’s nothing wasted and nothing off-the-shelf.
No dress code – we encourage individuality and want everyone to feel like themselves. Our whole vibe is about celebrating difference and making people feel good, and that goes for our team as much as our clients.
All bespoke – made by a festival/prop build company.
