Award-winning Devon Salon reveals fresh new look

Top Devon Salon, Energy Hair celebrates five years at its exclusive location at Darts Farm near Topsham, by undergoing a substantial makeover. Owner, Nathan Plumridge has invested over £100,000 into the redesign, giving the salon a fresh, clean and luxurious new look.

Energy Hair continues to go from strength to strength having last year celebrated 18 years as a company, which also coincided with their busiest year of trading. This was marked with a big summer bash, one of several client events held throughout the year. A forum, which allowed loyal customers to provide vital feedback on the salon also took place, much of which formed the foundations of the salon redesign.

“Over the years we have built a loyal following of clients so it’s incredibly important that the space they step into, is somewhere they feel they can relax and unwind. That’s why I went to my clients to find out what they wanted to see from the re-design and I used this to form the basis. I am absolutely delighted with the result and I can’t wait to receive further feedback on the new look.” Nathan explains.

With a big demand for barbers in the area, Energy Hair have not only completely revamped the salon but they have also tripled the number of barbers working for them, making a name for itself not just among women but with men too.

The redesign has transformed the salon into a crisp, bright and airy space and the removal of internal walls has created more room for additional team members. Finished using neutral tones, it is both welcoming and easy to relax in. There are new, sleek chairs positioned in front of every mirror, stylish and comfortable waiting areas and a cleverly designed lighting system, which compliments the natural light that floods through the windows.

To allow the refurbishment to take place, the salon was shut for nine days. Eager to keep his team abreast of the top hair trends and innovative colouring techniques, Nathan’s staff underwent intensive training during this time.

Set within Darts Farm, it is ideally situated at the heart of this lifestyle shopping experience, which features a compilation of carefully handpicked specialist retailers, such as AGA, Fired Earth and Cotswold Outdoor as well as small independent boutiques such as The Orange Tree and The Treatment Loft spa all under one roof.
