Salon 132

Salon 132 – A Sanctuary for Hair

Salon 132 is a modern and contemporary hair salon located in beautiful Prahan. It’s the creative home of Melbourne's best independent hairdressers, helmed by Creative Director Jason Casey. 

Looking to establish a point of difference, Jason wanted to create a beauty fitout that reflected the high-end, welcoming experience that clients would receive upon stepping inside. In collaboration with the exceptional interior designer, Zana Stoks, we were tasked with bringing this creative vision to life.

Crafting a Sleek and Ethereal Experience

The fitout for Salon 132 reflects a seamless blend of practicality and elegance, designed to elevate the client and stylist experience. It turns a simple salon visit into an experience, creating the perfect environment for stylists to express their creativity with clients.

Soft sheer curtains diffuse harsh light while allowing natural light to permeate the salon, creating a light and airy atmosphere. This subtle feature adds an other-worldly quality to the space while maintaining privacy. Carefully positioned spotlights complement this natural lighting, and provide optimal illumination for hair stylists, ensuring precision in their work.

The waiting area features a cloud modular sofa, a statement piece that reinforces the ethereal, inviting feel of the salon. Its soft, sculptural form contrasts with the sleek lines of the interior, creating a sense of comfort and luxury for waiting clients.

Uncovering Natural Luxury in Travertine

The travertine surfaces—used for the benches, reception area, and countertops—introduce a luxurious, textured material that contrasts beautifully with the polished concrete floors. A similar material is used around the mirror borders, making this essential salon equipment less of a focal point. This design choice ensures the mirrors enhance the space without overpowering it, contributing to the overall aesthetic while sending natural light deeper into the fitout.

The industrial appeal of polished concrete complements the travertine finishes while serving a practical purpose. Its cooling properties ensure the salon remains comfortable during warmer, sunnier days, while its durable nature withstands the wear and tear of daily operations.

Salon 132 is a testament to thoughtful, modern design that prioritises both functionality and aesthetics. The careful selection of materials, lighting, and layout ensures that every corner of the salon feels purposeful and elevated. We truly enjoyed this collaborative effort, helping another Melbourne business owner build their dream fitout.
