Project Challenge

This 190㎡ premium luxury nail and lash salon in Mayfair, London includes private treatment rooms, a manicure bar and a client waiting lounge. It features polished marble floors, mirrored walls and high-end minimalist decor built for a luxury clientele — but hard reflective surfaces create noticeable inter-room sound leakage. Treatment conversations and relaxation music carry between rooms, disrupting client privacy and ruining the calm spa atmosphere. The salon required acoustic materials that look premium, feel soft, and fit seamlessly with the high-end interior aesthetic, with no visible functional treatment.

Our Solution

We lined all private treatment rooms with full-height high-density fiberglass core fabric wrapped acoustic panels, with an NRC rating of 0.85–1.0. We selected a soft velvet matte fabric finish in warm champagne tones, matching the salon’s luxury interior palette. The panels absorb internal reflections to eliminate flutter echo and reduce airborne sound transmission between rooms, keeping treatment conversations private and creating a calm, quiet atmosphere. In the waiting lounge and manicure bar we added matching fabric panels on feature walls to control overall ambient reverberation across the public space.

All materials carry EN 13501 Class A fire certification and use low-VOC adhesives suitable for enclosed beauty spaces. Installation was completed overnight over 6 days so the salon could stay on its regular schedule.

Project Results

Inter-room sound leakage dropped by an estimated 42%, and client treatment privacy now meets the salon’s premium service standards. Client relaxation scores from post-visit surveys rose by 35%, and the seamless soft fabric finish is repeatedly praised as contributing to the salon’s calm, luxury atmosphere. Repeat booking rates also increased notably following the upgrade.
