Westrow York moves into its new home!

Westrow York – one of seven hairdressing salons the brand has across Yorkshire – has recently moved to premium premises in the centre of York. Housed on Swinegate, amongst a whole host of upmarket eateries and shops, including Mulberry, the 1,000 sq ft premises has been fully refurbished to meet the high expectations of the business’s discerning clientele.

Taking inspiration from boutique hotels across the globe, the shop front boasts a classic design in line with the Westrow brand. Inside, original beams fuse with American black walnut flooring, while bespoke mirrors add a luxurious feel and Italian-inspired LED eco-friendly lighting ensures a perfect, even light throughout. Downstairs is home to four styling stations, where black, high-gloss granite flooring in the reception and backwash areas add a touch of luxe. Contemporary and cool, the salon is striking, yet sympathetic to its surroundings and the City of York.

The backwash area is separated from the salon with a floor-to-ceiling frosted, curved glass wall for maximum privacy, and incorporates relaxing mood lighting to set the tone. A no-talking policy in this area also ensures a calm, serene environment, allowing clients to unwind before they head to the buzz of the salon outside.

Contemporary pinstriped carpet adorns the stairway in Westrow’s corporate colours, leading to the upstairs, which houses seven styling stations and a separate VIP area that can also cater for colour clients. This area is perfectly placed for parties, wedding and events.

“We wanted a sharp salon that not only looked good, but that worked on every level,” says franchisee, Rachel White of the refit. “The aim was to create a relaxing environment that was both contemporary and cool. The new salon is housed in a premium area of the city and now the refurbishment is complete, we can ensure our clients can sit back and relax, enjoying a wonderful hairdressing experience in a great location.”
