When Servilles’ iconic salon moved after 27 years from the corner of Ponsonby and Jervois Roads, a new evolution for the local team began.
The clever use of space and considered choice of fittings and artwork have created both a visual statement and a strong sense of creative purpose. Renowned muralist Ross Lewis, whose works are in a number of high-profile places around Ponsonby, New York and London (including a monastery in New York that was converted into a bar) has created a painting for the salon that is its own immersive experience. Somewhere within the work, King Kong is hidden and clients are challenged to see if they can spot him.
With 56 custom mirrors to create light and depth, the new salon is a natural extension of the Servilles’ philosophy of creating the ultimate salon experience; something so many of us have been desperately missing over the last eight-plus weeks.
Since the doors opened at the start of Level 2, the Servilles’ team have been warmly inviting people to their new space. Clients have flooded in, keeping stylists busy with locks and mops that need the Servilles’ touch.
As the new salon opened, the wonderful Monique Hoareau, a long-time favourite at Servilles, rejoined the team. A Servilles’ Platinum Stylist, Monique’s popularity as part of the Servilles’ team is only matched by her great sense of humour and exceptional skills with the scissors. Definitely worth being on the waiting list for.
