You don’t have to travel all the way to France to experience how it feels to sit in a Parisian salon. Just visit Pluit area in North Jakarta, where you can find Andreas Zhu & Beauty Lounge and get ready to be transported to the classic and industrial Parisian era. Behind the salon is celebrity hairstylist Andreas Zhu. He entrusted EJ Werkshop Interiors, an interior consultant from Singapore, to realize the concept.

Different from other salons, this place offers thick whimsical elements, but still harmonious with chic and graceful nuances. Since entering the salon, the feel of modern classics is immediately felt thanks to a vintage Parisian-style sofa. A stack of trunk luggage that is turned into a large table and mirror is also one of the main attractions of Andreas Zhu Salon.
