Fun fact

Sketch designed a central feature of cosy, semi-private booths where two people can be treated to manicures or pedicures together. Each booth enables a party of two to spend quality time together, with a degree of privacy from the rest of the salon. By encouraging couples, friends and families to enjoy treatments togther, our design encourages double bookings and increased revenue.  

Our favourite part

We really enjoyed seeing how our expertise in restaurant design influenced the design of this salon experience. Instead of the usual overly bright and clinical aesthetic, we opted for a moody and intimate atmosphere.
