About Studio 21
Studio 21 Salon is a premier hair salon in Birmingham, AL, renowned for its dedication to utmost guest satisfaction and fostering strong hairstyling connections within the local community.
In 2020, owners Dana and Scott, led Studio 21 on an exciting new chapter, relocating to a custom-built, state-of-the-art facility in Vestavia Hills, AL. This space reflects their commitment to elevating the guest experience with innovative design and modern functionality. Studio 21 partnered with Kaemark to bring their vision to life, creating a unique loft-style salon that perfectly complements the space’s modern aesthetic. Together throughout the 18-month-long project, we crafted an environment that not only aligns with the salon’s high standards but also enhances the welcoming, family-like atmosphere they're known for.
Kaemark's Solution
Precision Meets Innovation in Studio 21’s Salon Design
The new facility wasn’t just about creating a visually stunning space—it was about supporting the day-to-day operations of the salon, so stylists could provide their best work and guests could enjoy a seamless experience. Every element was thoughtfully designed to optimize Studio 21’s workflow while maintaining the welcoming, family-like atmosphere they are known for.
Kaemark’s custom furnishings played a vital role in this transformation. From the placement of workstations to the integration of storage solutions, thoughtful design ensured the space flowed smoothly and efficiently. Here are some of the standout solutions that helped Studio 21 achieve this balance of style and functionality:
- 17’ Custom Lower Shampoo Backbar: Designed to meet Studio 21’s specific needs, this expansive backbar combines ample storage with sleek, modern design. Stylists benefit from an organized, easy-to-navigate setup that supports their daily tasks, while the polished look of the backbar enhances the salon’s aesthetic appeal.
- 16’ Custom Color Bar: This centerpiece merges form and function, offering plenty of room for technical preparation in a layout that’s as practical as it is visually striking. With storage engineered for the fast-paced demands of color services, this color bar ensures stylists stay efficient while maintaining a polished environment.
- Glo LED Styling Stations: The back-to-back styling stations not only showcase ergonomic excellence but also reflect Studio 21’s modern loft-style theme. With integrated storage and durable construction, these stations ensure stylists have everything within reach, creating an elevated experience for guests.
- Malia Shampoo Shuttles: Client comfort was a clear priority in the redesign, and nothing exemplifies this more than the inclusion of ergonomic shampoo shuttles. These seats provide a relaxing experience for guests while allowing stylists to work efficiently.
By seamlessly incorporating tailored furnishings into the loft-style design, Studio 21 now boasts a space that perfectly aligns with their dedication to innovation and an exceptional guest experience. Every element, from thoughtfully positioned equipment to the refined aesthetic, was carefully considered to achieve a flawless balance between practicality and elegance.
The outcome is a salon environment that fosters creativity and embodies Studio 21’s core values. This successful collaboration with Dana and Scott highlights the remarkable results achievable through a shared vision and precision craftsmanship.
