The trend for simple, white salons might be a practical and cost-effective option, but when it comes to creating the salon of your dreams isn't it better to chase the dream and be a little flamboyant with your ideas?
This is exactly what sales and marketing expert Carl Mitchell, his hairdresser wife Donna, and artistic director Poonam Mehmi have done with Bonce Hair Salon.
There is absolutely nothing minimalist or boring about Bonce Hair Salon in Walsall, West Midlands. It's a Mecca of pop art, retro furniture and candy-style graphics - bringing a breath of fresh air to the surrounding area.
"We wanted a lively, trendy salon with a retro feel in order to offer something different to the usual minimalist look," says Carl.
