Jolly Beauty Salon by Rina Lovko

All of us live in the most tough and scary time. And we try to keep living, hoping for peace to come and stop the violence. For a while we had no emotional resource to post or write something. At the moment our studio is closed and our team is relatively safe. And we need to keep going and do our best to bring more beauty and kindness to this world. We decided to break the silence and present our new project — Jolly Beauty Salon in Kyiv. The salon is temporarily closed because of the war, but soon it will open its doors again. And each of us should find strength to continue our job and move towards our bright future. The employer aimed at a comforting environment — a beautiful oasis of self care. Natural materials, raw textures, soft color palette and wavy shapes of the decorative elements call to mind the image of a sandy beach. Vintage furniture, wooden details and lighting design create coziness inside of a clean minimalist interior. The object, which previously served as a hairdressing salon, is located on the 1st floor of the 1950s building on the Lesya Ukrainka Boulevard in the business center of the city. Exterior blends with the historic character of the building, its color and style. The facade was cleaned from signboards and graffiti, to emphasize the visual rhythm of the object. The renovation of the space and the entrance group took 6 months. The plan includes the following areas: the waiting area, the reception area, the makeup sale corner, 4 styling and makeup chairs, the manicure table, 2 chairs for simultaneous service, the hair wash sink with two chairs, the color bar storage, the beauty parlour, the kitchen and changing room for the staff, the restroom.
