L’Adresse Hair Salon: A Home-Based Business

Turning a Private Residence into a Salon

This shoot was my third for the article series about people who run businesses from their homes or have converted their private spaces into professional ones. Damian’s salon is a prime example of the latter. Located in a charming building in the L’Example neighborhood of Barcelona, his space exudes elegance.

Damian, originally from France, spent many years living in New York before settling in Barcelona. Like me, he has a deep love for the city, and you can sense a mix of nostalgia and ambivalence when he talks about leaving. Although I’ve only visited, I can imagine that living in a city like New York could be both exciting and overwhelming.

Details and Elegance in Every Corner

Damian’s salon is full of elegant personal touches and design features. The tea he served me was so beautifully presented, I couldn’t resist including it in several shots. Despite his prestigious clientele—who understandably didn’t want to appear in the photos—Damian was kind enough to let me work while he attended to his clients. It’s always striking to meet professionals like him who have had so many people come through their doors, yet remain so warm and eager to collaborate.
