Academy of Hair Seoul

Status: Built 2026

Client: Henkel

Location: Seoul, South Korea.

The new Academy is located in the Gangnam District of Seoul.

As with previous Academy designs, the plan offers a generous Experience area to help the user learn, chat, touch and connect with the hairdressing world. Sculptural curves frame the entrance to the Academy and welcome its users.

The Academy plan is divided into a large Theatre with stage & state of the art AV, 2 seminar rooms with folding partitions between them to accommodate 1 or 2 groups and allowing full flexibility of the space, and a large Practical Room & Colour Bar with a separate Shampoo zone.

We have proposed frameless glass to all doors and internal windows, wood finishes to social areas and crisp, white finishes for technical & learning spaces.

A construction team with a good eye for detail was able to create the sleek look of this Academy.
