A Stylist with Style

My hair stylist, Amber, was planning to move to a larger studio. For months, we poured over floor plans, pictures, layouts and color chips. When the move didn't work out she decided to update her current wee space.  No need for the plans go to waste!  I knew that you would enjoy seeing her cute place.

Here is Amber's "waiting area".  The  cute little glossy white tucked chair came from Amazon.  The wall color is Benjamin Moore Original Gray.  The mirrored table from HomeGoods.

Chandelier was a CraigsList find for $125. It is in the corner above the white chair. Amber was going for "Hollywood Glam". She is not a color girl.  Amber wanted white, gray, mirrors and black and white photography.



For the Gallery Wall, Amber used black and white pictures from "W" magazine and framed them herself.



Her wash station has an arched mirror. 

Cute little sconces flank the station mirror.  It is so nice not to have awful florescent lighting!  See the the movie  reels atop her color station--more Hollywood glam!


Here's Amber mixing my color.  She bought an ugly  brown entertainment center from Craigslist.  She uses it for color storage.  A fresh finish with BM White Dove made it come of life.  See the huge mirror behind her? Another Craigslist find that she repainted in silver.


This is a jewelry chest.  She keeps scissors, combs, etc. in here.  Amber is going to give it a coat of white paint when time allows.  I love the curves!



Do  you see the very subtle stencil on the wall?  The  overlay was done in Benjamin Moore's Galveston Gray.

Sharing some love after my cut and color! Ummm... hugging and laughing made my bangs fall.


Didn't she do a great job?

Happy weekend, y'all!

  6. Very nice, I think the simple palette keeps it from being visually cluttered. You always want your salon to look clean and it does.
