Coupe Sixty-One is a salon that is committed to sustainable practices. The owner, Melissa Cox, has an environmental friendly approach to hair styling and has extended the environmental commitment into all levels of her business practice.

We helped Melissa refine some of her ideas as she developed the plan for Coupe Sixty-One - collaborating with her on the conceptual and spatial design for the salon. The goal was to create a light filled, functional, minimalistic space that incorporated recycled and locally sourced materials, healthy finishes, and LED lighting.
