Porfura Hair - London E14

  • Location: Unit 4, Adriatic Building, 45 Narrow St, London E14 8DW
  • Client: Porfura Hair
  • Brief: Create a dynamic hair salon interior that reflects the client's passion for the colour purple.
  • The Concept: Purple Reign

Our design for Porfura was driven by a single, vibrant idea: a celebration of all things purple. Our goal was to create a space that felt both creative and luxurious, reflecting the artistry of Porfura's stylists. Located in the bustling London Docklands, the salon's design needed to make a bold statement that would capture attention and elevate the client experience from the moment they walked in.

Our Approach: Zoned for the Client Journey

To bring the client's vision to life, we developed a layout that separates the salon into two distinct zones: 'Energy' and 'Relaxation'. This design principle was a key part of our strategy to enhance the flow of the salon and create a memorable journey for every customer.

  • The Energy Zone: Vibrant shades of purple dominate this area, creating a stimulating and creative environment. We used bold lighting and modern fixtures to provide a dynamic workspace for stylists and an exciting atmosphere for clients during their hair transformation.
  • The Relaxation Zone: Transitioning to the back of the salon, the colour palette shifts to a softer, more luxurious version of the purple theme. This area is designed for a calming and pampered experience, focusing on comfort and tranquility.

The Design Details: A Feast for the Eyes

Every element of Porfura's design was meticulously chosen to contribute to the overall aesthetic and function. Key features include:

  • Colours and Textures: Rich, textured materials contrast with sleek, polished surfaces to create visual interest. Different shades of purple were used strategically to define spaces and create a seamless flow.
  • Lighting: Layered lighting was used to enhance both the functional aspects for the stylists and the ambient mood for clients. This includes focused lighting in the styling stations and softer, mood-setting lights in the relaxation zone.
  • Bespoke Features: Custom-built furniture and unique fixtures were created to perfectly fit the space and continue the purple theme, demonstrating our bespoke design capabilities.
  • Brand Integration: The design subtly incorporates Porfura's branding, with a cohesive look that is both professional and personal to the salon's identity.

The Result: A Creative Haven

The final project is a small but perfectly formed salon that is both highly professional and creatively inspiring. The successful division of the space into distinct zones has elevated the customer journey, providing a unique and luxurious experience. Porfura Hair is more than just a place for a haircut—it is a destination that reflects the client's passion and Reis Design's commitment to creating exceptional experiences through thoughtful design.Ready to create a memorable experience for your clients?

Testimonial

'We had an absolutely outstanding experience working with Richard on the design of our salon. Not only did he deliver a stunning and creative design, but his project management skills were top-notch, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

What really impressed us was his ability to go beyond simply agreeing with our ideas. Richard wasn't afraid to share his own perspective and confidently guided us toward better decisions—many of which turned out to be far superior to the original direction we had in mind. His expertise and dedication truly made a difference, and we couldn't be happier with the result. Highly recommend!' Ivan - Porfura Hair
