Rixon Hair was designed with the objective of creating an intelligently planned, inclusive workspace, which reflects a sense of community and tranquillity. The reception area is an important feature of the salon, being a critical pivot in the operations of the salon and the first point of entry for clients. It sets the tone for the salon and delivers a carefully considered first impression for customers as they exit the elevator and enter the salon space.

With these design requirements considered, a dramatic Staron-clad reception unit was created to draw the eye into the salon. LED lights were also added to the unit with a plywood product shelf that extends to a service counter. The two materials complement each other harmoniously to create an inviting feature into the salon that welcomes clients while also creating a functional working space for staff.
