I have been a loyal customer for 27 years now and he is not only one of my best friends, but he’s my confidante and dedicated hairstylist. Sarah caught up with him between haircuts to discuss his take on commercial interior design in 2021 in the heart of a pandemic. In fact, Marc got the chance to reveal how he has interpreted this in the new re-design of his salon, Idol Hair, in the heart of the East End. So, just in case you missed it, you can read his interview with Sarah here:-

It seems colourful bathrooms are making a comeback. This is because the bathroom is now much more just a place to simply wash and go. So, it stands to reason that we are investing more thought into the aesthetics of this space. And this is where colour plays such an important role.
