The Academy by Mazella & Partners

This London-based school with international reach was established by one of the biggest global names in hairdressing: Jean-Baptiste Mazella. With its industrial loft/artist studio look and feel, the space is uber urban and cosmopolitan, reflecting the high-end expertise and service you expect from the brand. The raw concrete ceiling with rows of spotlights and matching floor are dramatically set off by black and white furniture. A carefully structured and learning-focused space for the Styling section. Spaces are open yet convivial alongside more private and cosy spaces in the backwash area. Custom-made Cindarella furniture was commissioned for this exclusive space, the first salon bringing a new way to teach hairdressing. One to Watch.
