Headmasters Hairdressers
“We commissioned Peter at London Glassblowing to design not only something functional but also eye-catching to sit within our 53 salons. We pride ourselves on giving beautiful, fashionable, confidence-boosting hair and wanted the salon interior to reflect this. Having worked with Peter previously we knew he was a renowned and sought-after glass maker and felt truly confident in his abilities. He was extremely proficient, creating prototypes and making it very easy to decide on the final look and he interpreted our ideas skilfully. We now have a purposeful and beautiful piece of art within our salons which definitely fit the brief and our brand.”
