Luxury salon Indigo shows new success for Coventry
entrepreneur.
Press release date September 2007.
The strength of Coventry’s creative talent is shining
through as hair stylist Neil Hopkins is proud to announce
the re-launch of his Warwickshire-based salon Indigo,
following a quarter of a million pound refurbishment.
Indigo reflects the vision of this Coventry-born
and trained styling entrepreneur who now brings the best
elements of over 20 years worth of insight and experience
together. The re-modelled salon brings together all of the
best aspects of hair dressing and shows exactly what the
contemporary client experience can be.
Neil worked closely with Coventry architect Richard Jones
of Malachite Interiors whilst the building work and interior
decoration was completed by Earlsdon-based Blueprint Construction.
The project was completed over an extremely short three week
time scale and was carefully project-managed to ensure that
the salon was only completely closed to customers for one
week of that time.
Visitors to the new Indigo are greeted
by two cool and calm spacious cutting floors. Subtle tones
of grey, beige, cream and white contrast perfectly with polished
dark wood floors, stylish metal work, textured slate and
rough-edged heavy oak counters. Clients can relax in generous
leather sofas while surfing the internet, enjoying complimentary
refreshments or even booking their next appointment on-line.
The overall environment is relaxed, welcoming and highly
professional. The interiors enhance the high quality natural
Aveda products which line the shelves and which set Indigo
apart as a dedicated Aveda salon.
Staff at Indigo also undergo regular training
and education in the latest techniques, product applications
and customer etiquette which ensures the ultimate in hair
care advice, style tips and an important personalised approach
to client care.
Neil Hopkins said:
‘The finished look and feel to the new salon
is above and beyond my expectations. The months of planning,
design and preparation have all paid off far beyond what
I could have imagined. I feel that the client-base which
we have in this area is absolutely perfect for this type
of luxury salon and we look forward to welcoming new clients
who would like to come and experience what we have to offer
at Indigo.’
An official launch party is set for the 12th of October;
this delay is due to Neil’s commitment to runway shows
at London and Paris Fashion weeks.
