The client wanted a masculine environment with the polish of a premium salon, but without relying on familiar heavy or overly nostalgic barbershop tropes. Each workstation needed privacy, excellent lighting and ergonomic support for the barber, while the arrival, bar and lounge spaces had to feel social and generous within a compact footprint.

DOC’s feels theatrical but carefully functional. The bar and lounge extend the visit into a social experience, while each grooming station is designed around the craft of the barber. Familiar barbershop cues are elevated through material, lighting and detail into a polished retreat for the modern customer.

The concept draws on the glamour of the 1930s through a contemporary lens, pairing classical references with bolder modern details. Guests arrive at a bar and curved velvet banquette wrapped by a logo-etched copper wall. Deep blue tones, white tile, timber, leather, copper and custom Art Deco-inspired wallpaper create richness without making the room feel dark. Black Belmont barber chairs sit within individually framed stations, where full-height illuminated mirrors, blue cabinetry and curved copper-coloured walls provide privacy while maintaining visual connection through integrated shelving openings. Black-and-white floor tiles give the space a familiar salon reference, while curves continue through the bar, ceiling, floor and workstations to soften the plan and create a consistent sense of movement.
