Located on the 9th floor near Ginza station, NORA Hair Salon in Ginza embodies a harmonious blend of sophistication and tranquility. Designed by Kenta Nagai Studio, this salon is a testament to the seamless integration of nature-inspired elements with urban elegance.

Embracing Natural Light and Greenery

The salon’s design revolves around a sweeping window that floods the space with natural light, creating a serene atmosphere. To maximize this light-filled environment, the cutting area is strategically positioned to bask in the glow of the greenery-filled window, offering clients a liberating and bright experience. The boundary between the green space and cutting area is accentuated by colored glass panels, enhancing the visual connection to the outdoors.

Tranquil Entrance Inspired by Nature

Stepping into the salon, clients are greeted by an entrance area reminiscent of natural rock formations. The terracotta-colored volumes evoke a sense of being enveloped in a calming cave, providing a soothing and relaxing ambiance. Within this space, nail and eyelash treatment areas seamlessly blend with the tranquil atmosphere, while the shampoo area at the back offers further moments of relaxation.

Unifying Design Elements

A single curtain envelops the various salon spaces, creating a dynamic and cohesive impression. This design element not only unifies the interior but also adds an organic touch to the space. The use of standard aluminum frames adds a sharp and modern aesthetic, perfectly complementing the urban vibe of the Ginza district.

Conceptual Symbolism: NORA Ginza/U

By offering a range of spatial experiences, NORA aims to enrich beauty-related activities and provide a holistic approach to self-care. Through its thoughtful design and attention to detail, NORA Hair Salon in Ginza embodies the essence of “U” – the upper floor in the upper city, updating “you.”
