Upstairs, the glass-fronted beauty mezzanine has space for six make-up artists, while an
oversized wooden dining table provides a multi-functional workspace. ‘Lockdown has
changed the way we live and work and shown us that clients want a versatile salon
experience. We wanted to create a space that allows the customer to take their time; they
can come in and use this area to take calls, have a cocktail, send emails.’

The lighting in particular has been given careful consideration; Emma worked closely with
the electricians to ensure it would create the right ambience, without throwing off the
accuracy of hair colours. The effect can be adjusted to suit the occasion, the pair plan on
hosting events and seminars to make full use of the salon’s clever layout.

November Collective has been created to offer a bespoke service to a diverse clientele.Both
Christopher and Emma want the salon to provide ‘a sensory experience’ that adjusts to each
client’s individual needs. ‘Everyone at this level can do Balayage, or make-up, but it’s about
giving the client a reason to come to you’ says Christopher. ‘I hate the idea that a customer
might feel that they don’t belong in your salon, so we’ve worked hard to create somewhere
that’s inclusive and honest. Our clients want to look like the best version of themselves – it’s
about taking the ‘best bits’ and amplifying them.’
