Art + Science’s reception area includes a separate barbershop. In the salon, a tray ceiling with inset copper detail brings warmth, color and texture to the room, with light relecting from each station mirror and an orange backsplash in the shampoo area brings a fun pop of color.

Owner’s comment: “This space features a cool run of windows with street exposure, bringing in beautiful, natural light. The cutting area features two chairs for lash and brow appointments for our always-booked esthetician.”
