How UNEOM transformed a high-end Riyadh beauty salon with bespoke uniforms reflecting premium positioning

IndustryLuxury Beauty & Spa
LocationRiyadh, Saudi Arabia
Project Duration3 months

Client Overview

An exclusive beauty salon and spa in Riyadh's most prestigious district, catering to high-net-worth clientele seeking premium beauty services. With 35 staff members providing services ranging from hair styling to advanced aesthetic treatments, the salon needed to refresh its staff uniforms to match its recent interior redesign and elevated brand positioning.

  • Premium clientele with high expectations for service and aesthetics
  • Recently underwent a complete interior redesign with luxury finishes
  • Offers both traditional beauty services and advanced aesthetic treatments
  • Competes with international luxury salon brands in the Saudi market
  • Strong emphasis on creating a discreet, refined client experience

Key Challenge

The existing staff uniforms failed to reflect the salon's premium positioning and new interior design. They needed uniforms that balanced luxury aesthetics with practical requirements for beauty professionals, while maintaining modesty standards essential for the Saudi market.

Our Approach

1

Brand Immersion & Design Analysis

We conducted in-depth sessions with salon management to understand their brand values, aesthetic vision, and client expectations. We also analyzed the new interior design elements, color palette, and materials to ensure uniform harmony with the space.

2

Premium Material Selection

We curated a selection of luxury fabrics that balanced opulent appearance with practical performance requirements for beauty professionals, including silk blends, premium cotton, and specialized technical fabrics with elegant draping.

3

Bespoke Design Development

Rather than offering standard templates, we created fully custom designs for each staff role, with elegant silhouettes inspired by high fashion while maintaining cultural appropriateness and functional requirements for beauty professionals.

The Solution

Tiered Luxury Uniform System

We created a hierarchical uniform system where each staff tier received progressively more refined detailing:

  • Master Stylists & Aestheticians:

    Black silk-blend tunics with custom gold embroidery and tailored design elements

  • Senior Staff:

    Charcoal gray tunics with silver detailing and subtle branding elements

  • Junior Stylists & Support Staff:

    Elegant black uniforms with clean lines and minimalist design features

  • Reception & Client Services:

    Custom-tailored blazers and skirts in signature salon colors with luxury fabric blends

Every element of the uniform collection was crafted to convey luxury and exclusivity:

  • Bespoke Embroidery:

    Custom embroidered salon logo using metallic threads and subtle crystal elements

  • Premium Hardware:

    Custom-designed buttons and closures in polished gold and silver finishes

  • Modest Yet Elegant Designs:

    Sophisticated cuts that maintained Saudi modesty requirements while conveying high fashion influence

  • Personalized Name Embroidery:
