Client: Lush
Location: Brighton
International cosmetics brand Lush hired Jade Aden Interiors to transform a Brighton high-street shop into a brand-new hair salon.
It required a full fit-out to turn the traditional shop space into a bespoke hair salon with stylish interior design.
Lush has distinctive branding that was to be adhered to throughout the interior design project. We worked collaboratively with Lush, which had their own interior design team set the creative brief. Our team brought their work to life with our expert installation.
We worked to a tight timeline, with only six weeks to install every aspect of the fit-out. Our experienced fitters efficiently carried out the brief, ensuring we met this deadline without compromising the quality of our work.
What We Did
We started the work in September 2023 and completed the installation of this space in October 2023.
The work included our team stripping out the existing shop before starting the installation of the bespoke hair salon for the globally famous cosmetics company.
At the front of the shop, we fitted a hair salon that included several stations with mirrors and chairs for customers to experience the stunning salon space and see the benefits of products offered in the store.
Additionally, Lush wanted to promote their products and encourage their customers to purchase those that they have tried. Therefore, we needed to place the range of products in a prominent location that highlighted them. Lighting, colours and shelving were instrumental in achieving this.
Of course, in doing this, we also wanted to ensure that customers could easily understand which products were on display and some of their benefits. This had to be done in keeping with the Lush branding, so we utilised black chalkboards designed by the Lush team themselves.
Separate from the storefront was a washroom. We wanted this to have a different atmosphere, slightly more relaxed as customers had their hair washed. With this in mind, we placed plants around the space to bring in a more natural feel and under cupboard lighting for less harsh lighting in the room.
As with any project, there were hurdles our team had to overcome.
Since the site was on the high street, there was no parking in front of or near the premises. Additionally, the area was busy during working hours, meaning our vehicles couldn’t stop outside the shop to drop off materials.
Also, no skips were allowed along the high street, making waste disposal during the removal of the original shop difficult.
However, the biggest mountain to climb was the short time frame. The team raced against the clock. We procured and organised all facets of the Lush Brighton project within four weeks, prior to the physical refit.
Our dedicated, experienced team undertook all trades, delivering a turnkey fit-out of the hair salon and shop.
The End Result
The results were simply stunning and speak for themselves.
We were able to create two distinctive areas with different purposes; one light, vibrant and product-focused and another more relaxing space with softer lighting, muted tones and plants.
Our end-to-end service allowed the Lush team to bring their interior design vision to life in the short timeframe set. Thanks to our project management, the team was able to work smoothly on this project, helping to ensure work was completed on time.
