The Studio
Brushed concrete, warm timber, and the corner of McColl.
Designed by Hare Interiors. Contemporary luxe without the bite. The room reads more like a small architectural studio than a salon floor, which is the point.
The brief
A space designed for stays.
Most salons are built like waiting rooms with chairs added in. Hare Interiors started somewhere else: a colour appointment is a three‑hour conversation, and the room has to carry it. The fittings are matte black so they disappear. The mirrors are framed in steel so they read as architecture. The chairs are warm timber so the floor doesn't read as clinical.
Paper‑cream walls, soft daylight from the corner window, a single skylight that does most of the work in the late afternoon. The retail wall, which most salons make a feature of, is here a quiet shelf at the back. The room belongs to the client and the stylist, not to the brands behind them.
Staking its luxurious place on the corner of Newmarket's McColl Street, M11 Studio has solidified its reputation for excellence.
