Project Overview

The 4,747 sq ft space, which opened earlier this year, consists of 25 units located in Flying Horse Walk, Nottingham’s boutique retail shopping centre.

There will be a custom-built mezzanine floor, exclusive colour bar, air conditioning in each suite, and high-spec finishes throughout.

Our Solution

Having been involved in the previous two sites, Waldeck’s Architecture & Digital Capture teams have been working closely with Phenix Salon Suites and their UK franchisee to deliver the new Nottingham space, providing services for the internal design, layout and delivery. 

Our Results

Within the new development, hairdressers and barbers will be provided with a backwash, styling chair and hair trolley, while nail artists, beauty therapists and aestheticians will be offered sink units, storage trolleys, and a treatment bed.

All tenants have the access to a break room/kitchen space, an on-site laundry room with free use of commercial equipment for fast washing and drying, and 24/7 access via an intercom system.
