Akshita Shoanak Studio Salon | Studio Serif | Mumbai
Located in Ulwe, Navi Mumbai, Akshita Shoanak Studio Salon is a sophisticated hospitality space envisioned by Studio Serif. Designed by principal designer Anmol Kataria, the salon harmoniously balances luxury and comfort through rich maroon and green palettes, refined textures, and a spatial composition that enhances both experience and elegance. Every element is rooted in a unified design language that celebrates glamour and grace.
The Principal Designer shares that the design intent was to craft an immersive environment that felt glamorous yet grounded. Each zone reflects a unique identity—be it the tropical calm of the skin room and the bold charm of the makeup area—while maintaining a cohesive visual narrative across the entire salon. The salon’s spatial transitions are guided by a consistent theme of elegance and contrast.
Main Entry
The entrance introduces the design theme with confidence and clarity. The salon’s glass-fronted entryway sets a bold tone, enhanced by a blend of English and Hindi signage. The flooring transitions between polished and striking dark-and-light patterns, offering a modern yet timeless appeal. Well-designed façade and warm lighting greet customers with grandeur, echoing the salon’s luxurious ambiance.
Reception
A maroon-toned reception desk anchors the space, brightened up with natural sunlight through expansive windows. Intricate ceiling wallpaper and minimalistic decorative elements add visual richness. Modern lighting fixtures elevate the setting, creating an elegant welcome that hints at the salon’s premium offerings. This area sets the tone for a thematic journey through refinement and composure.
Waiting Zone
Comfortable seating and curated décor define the waiting area, where refined aesthetics meet relaxed functionality. A staircase with bold maroon railings ascends gracefully, complementing the smooth surface and patterned flooring. The zone exudes warmth, designed for both comfort and anticipation. Design details here quietly reinforce the salon’s overarching aesthetic direction.
Hairdressing Area
Featuring lush green chairs and double-height elegantly framed mirrors, this area captures the essence of refined grooming. A crystal chandelier and intricately papered ceiling add a glamorous flourish, while a dedicated display and storage unit near the styling zone seamlessly integrate luxury and utility. The theme is expressed through contrasts in color, scale, and surface.

Designed for precision and style, the nail station includes a spacious table and modern chairs complementing all décor elements with proper lighting fixtures. Display unit accents and focused lighting underscore the chic setting, while thoughtfully arranged products enhance the station’s efficiency and visual charm.
