Beauty Fitout That Exudes Japanese Minimalism

mika melbourne is a salon where beauty and style come together in a refined and tranquil setting.  Founded by Mika, an esteemed hairdresser with decades of global experience, the salon is known for blending her signature traditional Japanese techniques with the latest global trends.

With a growing clientele, mika was in the process of relocating her business to a larger space. She sought our expertise in designing and building a new beauty fitout to fit her vision. We worked with her to create a space that would accurately reflect her expertise and passion for precision, creativity, and personalised hair service.

Starting With Natural Elements

Grey concrete-coloured tiles and wooden furnishings form the foundation of the space, establishing a natural and welcoming environment. These elements soften the industrial edge introduced by the exposed ceilings, achieving a harmonious contrast between raw and refined.

 A soothing mix of soft greys, crisp whites, and natural wood tones sets the scene, with subtle earthy accents introduced through curated plant life and delicate décor pieces. This restrained palette enhances the salon’s tranquil ambience, allowing hair craftsmanship and the client experience to take centre stage.

Adding Strategic Details

Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to prioritise both style and functionality. High-quality linen curtains diffuse natural light, creating a serene atmosphere, while ergonomic seating ensures client comfort. Storage solutions have been discreetly integrated, maintaining the salon’s uncluttered and effortless minimalist aesthetic.

Track lighting has been carefully positioned to provide optimal illumination for stylists while also contributing to the overall mood of the space. This adjustable light source ensures the right amount of light is in the space at all times, even on overcast days or evenings.
