Customers sit at large wooden frames in this hair salon by Japanese studio Three.Ball.Cascade in Chiba, Japan.
Called Luce Hair, the salon is divided by the wooden structures, some of which contain mirrors to create work stations while others remain empty, framing the space.
Here's some more information from the designers:

Local development still proceeds in a corner, where it is expected that future urbanization.
This plan, as beauty is in the relatively large space, placing four chairs were asked a simple space. The beauty of the common market because it was fairly low-cost.
Possible difficulty in making the space operations of an existing skeleton, with plans to build only the required minimum of functionality.

Dresser and normal scale by using different, whether there is a mirror there, and you do not know which side is visible.

Not so sure about the use of the ikea laptop table! What exactly were they thinking?
Great idea: project without permanent construction.
For the amplitude of the space: I guess they also thought about a posible new distribution if the # of customers rise through. I wouldn't mind to share a frame with another customer. in order to chat & socialize, too!!!
LOVE the LOOK but , I agree with hdxtst. What is the point of going to the hair salon if you can´t talk to the person next to you ???
I'm always amazed when no consideration is given to where "stuff" goes in work environments. Hairstylists have all sorts of equipment that they need at arm's reach. Usually it all ends up in some ugly rolling cart that the salon owner buys as an afterthought. I think that the designers here missed a great opportunity to bring design to the functionality of the workspaces.
Nice space, though! Love the colour palette and materials.
