From styling chair to catwalk
Pantaloni was responsible for the design and innovative concept, turning this hair salon into a social hub and lifestyle hotspot in the heart of Antwerp. The new salon is more than just a place for cutting and styling hair: It is a dynamic space, where a hairdressing station becomes a catwalk, and a DJ booth and bar feel just as natural as wash basins.

“Why does a salon always need chairs facing mirrors? Can a hairdressing unit serve multiple functions? Those were the questions we started with. The result is a completely new take on what a hair salon can be.”
– Lien, Founder & Creative Director Pantaloni
Eyecatchers
- From the moment you enter the 350 m² space, the experience begins. The reception area features a custom-made burgundy desk that doubles as a bar for a drink or a bite, or even a place to work while waiting.
- The bar and back bar are finished in an aluminium look, reflecting the industrial character of the building while also nodding to typical hairdressing tools, which are often made of aluminium or stainless steel, such as scissors and salon trolleys.
- The styling table with aluminium accents in the base- custom-made for this location – turns into a catwalk within seconds by simply removing the mirrors.
- A checkerboard pattern tiled color lab in the same area that can be converted easily into a bar for events.
