It is customer care and attention to detail that set this dog salon apart from others as existing stairs of the building were removed by the architects and smaller steps with a gentler slope were added to make it easier for dogs. The aesthetics on the inside are uncomplicated with white and gray being used for the backdrop. A long corridor with series of windows ushers in natural light while simple, hanging bulbs and sconce lights offer an additional layer of illumination. A distinctive reception counter welcomes you inside with white gray trimming area and a comfortable waiting lounge for the pet owners completes the salon. [Photography: Daisuke Shima]
