Hair Salon at the Biltmore in Santa Barbara, CA

The salon interior combines clean lines and refined details with a modern aesthetic. Central to the design are circular illuminated styling stations that serve as sculptural elements, providing both visual impact and practical functionality. The mirrored reception counter introduces geometric patterns that add depth and texture, while the dark wood flooring grounds the space with warmth and sophistication. Natural light filters through strategically placed windows, complemented by a layered lighting plan that ensures optimal brightness for styling while maintaining an inviting atmosphere. Accent features, such as a custom blue glass chandelier and curated wall art, introduce moments of color and artistry. Product displays are integrated seamlessly into the layout, reinforcing the salon’s premium identity without disrupting the spatial harmony.

Our design prioritizes comfort and efficiency, with seating arrangements that encourage interaction and circulation paths that support smooth operations. Every detail—from material selection to furniture placement—was considered to create a cohesive environment that reflects the salon’s brand values and enhances the guest experience. At AB design studio, we approach each project with a focus on collaboration, creativity, and precision. The José Eber Salon exemplifies our ability to translate a client’s vision into a distinctive, functional, and memorable space.
