Try to Make a Barber Shop Like This

When most people click on the design drawing of this Barber Shop, they will actually be drawn to the geometric light strips on the ceiling - because they have never seen any barber shop that can make the industrial style so "temperamous" without seeming cold and hard. It's not the kind of perfunctory approach of simply painting a cement wall and calling it "industrial style", but rather a blend of roughness, refinement, retro and modernity, making every corner exude the feeling that "this store must be both enjoyable to browse and cut". If a barber shop could really be opened like this, it's likely that not only would customers be willing to come, but even the barbers would find it convenient to stay.

The style that has been hit by "appearance level"

The first impression of this store's style is "cold" : cement-textured walls and floors, dark vertical striped wall panels, and even the ceiling is a sunken black. But if you take a closer look, you will find that there are many soft details hidden within this "coldness".

• Wall display

For instance, the wall surface is not a single cement color. Half of it is a natural cement wall with a textured feel, while the other half is a deep gray vertical striped wall panel - the vertical stripes themselves carry a sense of refinement. When paired with a black metallic decorative frame, a few matte ceramic bottles, vintage small sculptures, or even a TV broadcasting a ball game can be placed on it. It instantly suppressed the "roughness" of the industrial style.

• Color design

Even more wonderful is the color embellishment: The main sofa in the waiting area is a matte black and light gray combination style, and suddenly two bright orange single chairs pop up beside it. The bar stools in the coffee corner are also orange in the same color family, like throwing two orange candies into a dark tone. They don't steal the show, but are enough to make the space "come alive" and not appear dull.

• Barber chairs

And those barber chairs - not the plastic-backed ones found in ordinary barber shops, they are retro models with bright silver metal bases, featuring delicate carved details. The leather is made of matte black. When placed on a cement floor, the rough ground, the exquisite chair, and the cold and hard wall all come together. This is exactly the "manly but not rash" quality that a men's barber shop should have.

Overall store layout

• Entrance design

As soon as you enter, you'll find an open combination of a reception area, a waiting area and a coffee corner. The guest pushed the door open and came in. First, they saw a reception desk with a light grey marble countertop (the countertop has a natural texture, not as depressing as pure black). Under the countertop was a black cabinet, which was simple and dirt-resistant. Right next to it is the coffee corner - an embedded small bar counter with a silver coffee machine and an orange bar stool. When getting a haircut, you can casually get a cup of hot coffee, which is much more comfortable than sitting idly scrolling through your phone.

• Waiting area

The waiting area is right beside the reception desk, with a black three-seater sofa and two orange single chairs placed there. In the middle is a small white round coffee table, on which magazines can be spread out. Next to it are two tall plants of palm trees - they can not only slightly block the view and maintain a bit of privacy, but also add some vitality to the cement-textured space.

• Cutting area

Further inside is the corehair-cutting area, which is symmetrically arranged: multiple sets of hair-cutting positions are lined up on each side, and the distance between each position is just right - it won't be so crowded that the barbers touch each other's arms, nor will it be so empty that it seems desolate. Each hairdressing position faces a floor-to-ceiling mirror with a light. The mirror is not a simple wall-mounted type but features a metal frame and side shelves. The shelves can be used to categorize hairdressing tools and hair care products. The embedded light strips around the mirror illuminate the customer's face, allowing for a clearer view of the details during the haircut.

• Hair-washing area

The innermost part is the bathroom, which is cleverly located - it neither affects the flow of the hairdressing area nor allows customers to quickly find it when needed. There is no extra decoration at the entrance, only a simple sign, avoiding a messy feeling in the space. The entire layout follows a rhythm of "from open to private", so guests won't feel flustered when they come in and barbers don't have to take a detour to work.

Retro Barber “VARÓN CO.” Theme

The theme of this store is "VARON CO. BARBER SHOPS". It can be seen from the details that it specializes in men's haircuts - not the kind of "comprehensive Barber Shop" for both men and women, but a barber shop with its own exclusive tone.

• Wall background

The most obvious is the background wall: On the dark grey vertical wall behind the reception area, the metal logo of "VARON CO. BARBER SHOPS" is directly installed in retro serif font, with the small words "STAY SHARP" added beside it, immediately establishing the atmosphere of "exclusive for men".

• Hairdressing display

One wall in the hairdressing area is even more ingenious: it uses black diamond-patterned wallpaper, with simple ICONS of small scissors and combs printed on it, as well as a dark-patterned logo of the brand abbreviation - not fancy decoration, but a low-key yet subtle detail that allows customers to realize "this is a dedicated space for hairdressing".

• Shelves

Even the items on the decorative shelves exude a sense of theme: for instance, what is placed on the shelves are not ordinary ornaments, but models of vintage hairdressing tools, display bottles of men's care products, and even sports events are being broadcast on a loop on TV - these details are not for the sake of looking good, but to make the guests feel that "this place understands me".
