The Pink Label

I was ecstatic after meeting with Chantel Cody to discuss the design direction of her future hair studio: The Pink Label Salon, Qualicum Beach B.C..

Chantel’s enthusiasm, vibrant personality and design inspiration were all amazing and I had a major hankering for this type of project. I’m always wanting to push the design boundaries and I knew this would be up my alley and a fun collaboration.

It may be surprising, but as an interior designer, I can feel held back creatively and not given complete agency to design BIG. Chantel was wanting outrageous and weird and because of that, I could push the design to a different level. I enjoyed working and collaborating in this open, trusting, art focused mindset. It feels good to think from a composition stand point - as if this is art, not just a functioning interior.

 The outcome to this no boundaries design is mood shifting. It’s candy pink, post modern, and pop art.

Now that the salon is open, it’s full of energy, hustle and bustle. You’ll find Chantel Tic Toking with clients, creating beautiful window displays, creating genius IG stories and producing hair looks that rival the salon interior. It’s seriously the happiest place in Qualicum (if I do say so myself – wink wink ) !

Huge props to Chantel for suggesting an all pink interior and providing great inspiration and creative freeness.

Design boundaries are meant to be broken – let me help you with that !
