Heritage
formality
- Decorative emblem
- Traditional salon cues
- Authority by appearance
A new visual language
Less institution.
More intention.
The existing crest speaks of inherited status. Michael's work speaks of earned expertise.
The new identity should feel precise, private and unmistakably current—with enough warmth to belong in Barcelona.

Show the person
Faces, movement and confidence—not an endless archive of hair photographed from behind.

Invite the next step
Every post has a purpose: save the look, ask a question, book a consultation or discover the ritual.
A direction for discussion

Barcelona, 2026.
This is an initial creative territory—not a finished identity. The next phase would test the name architecture, refine the wordmark, build a photographic art direction and apply the system across the complete customer journey.
