KOOP Studio
KOOP Studio
KOOP studio is a hair salon with a difference, focusing on the enhancement and celebration of natural beauty and the individual. Our ethos is centered around promoting true confidence and wellbeing, and enhancing the qualities and features that make each person unique. We believe that a hairstyle should be sustainable, and so we work with each person’s natural look to create a uniquely tailored cut that stays beautiful over time. KOOP studio is a unique environment, inspired by nature and the beauty of its imperfection. The studio space is designed to reflect our core values, with an open, light, fresh space that embraces a raw, authentic, unrefined aesthetic. The space imbues a sensory experience and a connection to nature and its ever changing beauty.

STUDIO ENVIRONMENT
At KOOP, the atmosphere and design of the salon is an important point of focus in fostering a welcoming, calming environment that promotes well-being and comfort. This will affect not only the well-being of the guest but of the stylist and studio team. Consideration of the microenvironment around each styling unit is extremely important, especially in a salon space where the smell of products and the noise of hairdryers and conversations from other sections of the salon can be disrupted or create barriers between the stylist and guest.
The studio is designed to be adaptable and flexible, using lightweight, permeable elements to separate and divide up spaces. These lightweight structures allow daylight to penetrate through the plan and the spaces to flow seamlessly into each other, while still giving a sense of privacy and enclosure. Against the backdrop of raw concrete and natural materials, the space is brought to life by an oasis of plants and greenery. The ever-changing shades and growing plants give a sense of evolving life and impermanence as the space changes with every visit.
