Opal & Boa
Philadelphia, PA
When your client says yes to an enormous flying boa, you take the leap!
We first mocked up this signature, jaw-dropping design element full-scale on butcher paper, shaping and reshaping every curve. We then laser cut it from nine 8’ steel plates, finished it in our signature brass powder coat, and brought it to life in the salon.
From the head that looks you in the eye when you open the door, to the tail that winds to the back, we hope you enjoy the wild and magical ride at Opal & Boa on N. 3rd Street in Old City.
What struck us when we first met Kay and heard her dream, was how deeply she wants every client to feel seen and truly special. That’s the reason she chose to open Opal & Boa after 20 years of cutting hair behind the chair.
To welcome the neighborhood in, we built a lounge you can enjoy when you arrive or before you leave. It’s our way of saying hello to neighbors who just want to stop by or peek in, and feel the vibe. From here, you get a full view of the historic street outside, Old City’s pulse mixing with the energy of our modern luxurious salon.
We hope you are reminded of how special you are when you are here.
