Refined masculinity from every era at melogy

Published 21st Feb 2012 by sophieh

The perfect blend of traditional and modern is how owner Carmelo Guastella describes his men's salon, Melogy.

Melogy-Main-pic.jpgPreviously the space now occupied by the men's grooming establishment was the side entrance hall of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, London, and it took eight months and a budget of around £200,000 to transform it.

The overall feel of Melogy is refined masculinity, designed to appeal to men of all ages and backgrounds. The colour scheme of brown and white with an accent of green looks and feels bright and clean, while light wood flooring helps create a sense of space.

Classic barber chairs and light fixtures, together with photographs depicting barber shops and techniques from bygone eras, ensure Melogy is a contemporary men's salon with a definite nod to the past.
