A Hair Salon inspired by
The Edith Farnsworth House
Nook's concept was borne when the founder, Sone first heard the story of a lady named Dr. Edith Farnsworth.
A busy surgeon, she yearned for weekends of serenity. She thus commissioned for a property to be built, away from the daily grind of the city. That location was the wooded outskirts of Chicago.
Surrounded by lush greens & the flowing Fox River, the now-historical Edith Farnsworth House became her weekend retreat.
At One With Nature
"When I laid eyes on 41 Duxton Hill, it was here that I felt that I could envision this concept of a weekend retreat.
​
Like the Farnsworth House's use of glass to highlight its tranquil surroundings,
tall French windows overlook blue skies & the lush flora & fauna outside Nook Hair Studio.
​
When natural sunlight filters through, it instantly uplifts one's mood,
creating a cosy, soothing environment to get your hair done at.
The interior is also kept as natural as possible. From our furniture to our floorings, wood takes centrestage, creating 'a sanctuary in conversation with nature', much like our inspiration.
Respite in the heart of the
Central Business District
Being a hair salon in the Central Business District, it is my hope that Nook will be a haven where busy folks, especially working women (much like the good surgeon) can unwind at."
