LONDON: Internationally reknowned Knightsbridge department store Harrods has finalised the transformation of its beauty business with the launch of a new Hair and Beauty Salon. Led by the store’s director of beauty, Annalise Fard, the 1,577sqm space was redesigned by London-based Sparcstudio to offer a rarefied and contemporary beauty and wellness experience with the welcoming Beverley Bayes and luxurious feel of an exclusive members club. A dedicated Hairdressing Rotunda brings to life a feeling of old-world glamour, while also offering privacy for guests and their stylists. As well as a hair extension library, there is a luxury Backwash Room inspired by traditional Japanese head spa rituals, where clients can lie back on Yume fully extending backwash beds by Takara Belmont to enjoy a soothing head massage, designed to boost circulation and promote healthy hair growth. The Rotunda also incorporates a bespoke Conditioning Bar dedicated to offering the latest conditioning and scalp treatments. A more secluded Salon Privée provides five hair stations and a backwash area, while an extensive treatment zone boasts 12 rooms offering body facial, waxing and laser treatments. An Eye Zone suite for brow and lash services completes the offering alongside a large reception area and marble and chalk ash-decorated customer washrooms. “We wanted to instil a unique sense of place with design details that create a ‘members club’ feel that is uniquely Harrods,” says Sparcstudio’s creative director, Beverley Bayes. “The spaces we have created are organic, flowing and light-filled with a great emphasis on guest comfort.”
