The primary objective was to modernise the interior, improve functionality, and enhance the overall client experience without disrupting day-to-day business activities.

Careful planning and phasing were critical to the project’s success. The works were divided into clearly defined stages, allowing sections of the salon to be refurbished sequentially while other areas continued to operate. Out-of-hours working, including evenings and weekends, was implemented for more disruptive activities such as flooring replacement, electrical upgrades, and plumbing modifications. Temporary partitions and dust control measures were installed to maintain a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for both staff and clients.

The refurbishment included the installation of new styling stations, upgraded wash basins, improved lighting design, and a complete redecoration scheme to create a contemporary and cohesive aesthetic. Mechanical and electrical systems were enhanced to increase energy efficiency and ensure compliance with current standards. Acoustic considerations were also addressed to maintain a relaxing atmosphere despite ongoing construction.

Close coordination with the salon management team was maintained throughout, with regular progress meetings and clear communication to minimise disruption to appointments and staff workflows. Health and safety was prioritised at all times, with strict site management procedures in place to protect occupants.
The project was completed on time and within budget, successfully transforming the salon into a modern, functional space while allowing the business to trade continuously. This approach not only preserved revenue during the construction period but also demonstrated the effectiveness of careful planning and stakeholder collaboration in delivering refurbishment works in a live environment.
