Pinkishness: A Dreamy and Whimsical Nail Salon

An Exquisite Blend of Neoclassical Style and Vibrant Colors

Inspired by the pursuit of aesthetics in the nail salon industry, designer Jia Ru Chen has created Pinkishness, a captivating and comfortable space that combines beauty and relaxation. With its lively pink palette and neoclassical elements, this nail salon stands out as a unique and enchanting destination.

The main theme of Pinkishness revolves around the owner's favorite color, "pinkishness," which sets the stage for a dreamy and storybook-like atmosphere. The vibrant pink hues create a sense of vibrancy and playfulness, while the neoclassical style adds an exquisite touch of elegance. Elements such as arches, curved lines, and lighting straps infuse a fluid energy into the space, making it visually captivating.

One of the standout features of Pinkishness is the integration of different textures and materials. The designer has used herringbone-patterned wooden flooring and imported tiles to create overlapping layers, adding depth and visual interest to the salon. The lighting design blends seamlessly with the textures, creating a harmonious and inviting ambiance.

With a focus on both interior design aesthetics and modern fashion, Pinkishness is not just a nail salon but a commercial space that offers beauty services. The spacious and luminous environment, combined with the carefully selected furniture and equipment, creates a cozy and relaxing atmosphere for customers.

The design of Pinkishness incorporates practical functionality alongside its visual appeal. The rounded style seen in the white doorway at the entrance is echoed throughout the salon, including the counter, service area, and display shelving. This not only creates a cohesive and symbolic image for the salon but also provides practical storage solutions.

Pinkishness is located in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and was completed in November 2021. The project covers an area of 64 square meters and showcases the designer's attention to detail and creativity. The combination of different shades of pink in the spatial design reflects the unique personalities of both the owner and the designer, resulting in an unconventional elegance that sets Pinkishness apart from other nail salons.

Pinkishness has been recognized for its outstanding design and creativity, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2022. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that demonstrate resourcefulness, technical skill, and a commitment to improving quality of life.

With its dreamy ambiance, whimsical design, and attention to detail, Pinkishness offers customers a truly unique and enchanting nail salon experience. Whether you're looking for a professional service or simply want to immerse yourself in a visually captivating environment, Pinkishness is the perfect destination.
