ABOUT US
- OUR STORY
-
BRUNEBLONDE is a collaboration between founders Roland Boutin and David Gouygou. With roots in France, they trained and worked at Paris' top salons before moving to Hong Kong and has continued their training for the past 20 years. The duo's deep understanding in serving a cosmopolitan clientele has created a hub of talent that embraces duality in all aspects of the salon environment and experience.
The salon name is in homage to an engaging 2010 exhibition held at the Cinematheque in Paris which explores the myths and influences of hair as portrayed through cinema and other art forms throughout history. The name also embodies all hair types: brunettes and blondes, dark and light, and not to mention, short and long hair. BRUNEBLONDE truly celebrates beauty and confidence through the representation with hair.

- OUR DESIGN
- BRUNEBLONDE salon was designed and created by architect Greg Pearce, co-founder of One Space Ltd.
The principal design challenge was to create an exclusive and relaxing setting for the salon's clientele, whilst establishing the robust and specialised work environment that styling professionals need.
In response, the designers created a sumptuous "Parisian appartement" setting, reminiscent of that city's grand salon interiors of the 1940's, reinterpreted into a modern architectural language. The owners' own period-piece accessories, artworks, and furniture complete the picture of this "living-room-cum-hair-salon".
Italian artists, fashion and interior designers Carlo Ninchi and Vittorio Locatelli were commissioned to create a flowing, line-drawing mural on the wall, displaying an abstract work of winding and slightly sexual lines to portray a stunning gallery of an enigmatic and iconic female.
The women's styling area is characterized by simple elegance. Ample daylight on two sides of the room is complemented by custom-designed task lighting embedded within the expansive mirrors and undulating ceilings.
The Men's styling area is a deliberate design departure from the Women's Section. The room has been arranged to recall the glory of the classic gentleman's barber shop, reinvented here to suggest a more sophisticated take on the traditional haircut experience.
