Totally spellbound - witches hut salon interior

Published 24th Oct 2007 by sophieh
Everything about Keith Rosenberg and Eric O'Brien's south London salon Witches Hut screams quirky cool. In response to the salon's popularity, the duo spent six months refurbishing and increased the number of styling stations from 12 to 26 while transforming the 18th century premises into a turiving hub of hairdressing.Artistic features that make the salon stand out from the crowd are striking original paintings from Keith's artist sister-in-law Lydia Lynagh, and brightly coloured decorative windows incorporating black cat, pumpkin and crescent moon designs.Other distinctive features include bespoke boxed shelving units, solid oak tables and mirrors at each styling station, and unique red, black and brown reclaimed barbers' chairs."Everyone in the team is hair crazy - they're a really talented, passionate and, in their own ways, quirky lot, so it's only fitting we created a salon as individual as they are," says Keith.More Pictures>>
