In every seat sits a new perspective

What do people really expect when they join us at Contemporan Hair Space?

Going into our second year of Contemporan, we want to continue building on what we started, which is creating a space and growing as a community where guests could forge unexpected connections, find creative inspiration and expand their horizons.

When each guest walks through the door there are small hints of nervousness and uncertainty on their faces; they were no doubt anticipating something new. But each face immediately opened with a smile when they were greeted and ushered into the salon with a opened arms.

The salon was conceived as a way for Alexandru to combine his practice as an artist with his previous vocation as a hairdresser. The salon concept is an art gallery. We love the energy that the constant creation and color gives to the space. It feels like a living, breathing entity. The mirror is often the central feature of the hair salon and it’s filled with our own reflection. We use it as a framed work of art surrounded by Alexandru and Denisia's paintings.

We like to say: in every seat sits a new perspective. The design of the Contemporan salon styling stations was inspired by the paintings in the museums. So, big wood frames enclose the mirrors pursuing the effect to the customer when they are relaxing in front of it , in order to to perceive themselves as a framed work of art.

As Contemporan has evolved, the response we’ve received from the community encouraged and motivated us to continue taking creative risks. It’s been heartwarming to see how people like you had championed Contemporan from the beginning—from reading posts like this and introducing themselves online, in order to come to salon and spread the word. We are so grateful for your support.

We started this project with a simple goal, we want to bring people together through hair and art. Why not try something new?

We hope you’ll join us.

Thanks for reading ,Denisia and Alexandru.
