Question

Cosmo Hairstyling, a hairdressing chain that has been operating in the Netherlands for nearly 40 years, has nearly 50 salons throughout the country and is an established name in the hairdressing world. At Cosmo, the customer experience is key. They not only perfect the hair, but also create a relaxing moment for the client. Here, the right lighting plays an important role.

Challenge

At a barbershop, it is important that the customer be in the spotlight. Cutting and dyeing require precision, where it is important that the client’s hair is unshaded. Thus, the barbers and hairdressers continuously have an accurate representation of what they cut or dye. In addition, client comfort is important, especially when the hair is being washed and the client is looking upward. Here it is important to use fixtures with a low glare value so that the customer is not blinded by the bright light.

Furthermore, in the Cosmo Haarlem building there is a monumental ceiling that deserves extra attention. We specially highlighted this by using LED strips that we placed in the square under the ceiling. Thus, the ceiling has become a real eye-catcher. To completely optimize the customer experience, we installed the Spottune audio system in the lighting rails. Thus, customers enjoy good sound and proper lighting during their visit.

Result
The result is impressive: Cosmo Haarlem has been transformed into a chic, soothing and comfortable barbershop. This establishment perfectly matches the look and feel of the Cosmo Hairstyling formula. Therefore, we can speak of a successful project.
