Troove Beauty Salon in Japan

By christine

Troove Beauty Salon, located in Gifu Japan, has a gorgeous minimilist style that evokes a calmness which I love.

Designed by architect Hiroyuki Miyake, this space has Japanese oak floors, a stunning concrete reception desk, and extremely comfortable looking simple chairs.

The real showpiece of the salon is their large 2mm thick steel screen which encompasses the shampoo area.

Inspired by the traditional Japanese folding screens, this metal structure has a small gap in the middle to enter and exit through and the bottom portion has been painted to create a more reflective surface.

This definitely looks like a salon I’d love to visit!

Reading about the craft is easier than running the business side of it.

salonMonster handles booking, payments, reminders, and records, so the admin stops eating the hours you'd rather spend behind the chair.
