This place now is so beautiful, so cozy and warm…

Before the renovation, this place definitely needed a lot of work. It required gutting, redoing the floors, fixing the drywall—basically, everything about this store needed a complete overhaul to transform it into the nail salon it is today. Now, this place is incredibly beautiful, cozy, and warm—it’s exactly what we had envisioned.

I entered this space with a vision of creating a doll-like atmosphere, and that’s precisely what we achieved. Every idea I had, every Pinterest picture I found, turned out to be just what I had wanted for the store. The result is stunning, resembling a dollhouse exactly as I had imagined. We discovered the Bradburn Group through a Google search while exploring local contractors. Once we saw Bradburn’s work, we were thoroughly impressed and decided to reach out to them to discuss our space. The reason we opted for the Bradburn Group was our need for skilled professionals who could bring our store to life according to our desires.

We explored various options, but we didn’t get the right feeling from other places until we came across Bradburn’s. It was at that point we realized they were the perfect fit for us. Our experience with Bradburn’s was truly exceptional. We began the project right at the beginning of the pandemic, a situation we had no way of foreseeing. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the project took a bit longer, but the results were flawless. Finding contractors who could continue working during COVID would have been much more difficult, but thanks to Bradburn’s, they stepped in and saved our store, delivering exceptional work. We’re thrilled with everything they accomplished, especially considering the difficulties posed by COVID. They were there throughout the toughest times, and they delivered beyond our expectations.

Envisioning Elegance: The Dramatic Transformation of Dundurn St. Nail Salon

Client Background

For the Dundurn St. nail salon renovation project by Bradburn Group of Companies, a detailed room-by-room approach was taken to transform a significantly dated and dysfunctional space into a stunning, functional, and theme-consistent nail salon. The owners envisioned a dollhouse-themed atmosphere, requiring a complete overhaul of the existing interiors to bring their unique vision to life.

Challenge

The Dundurn St. nail salon faced substantial challenges due to its outdated and dysfunctional design, which failed to reflect the owner’s vision for a high-end environment. The space required a complete overhaul, including gutting the interiors, replacing the flooring, and repairing drywall, to transform it into a modern and inviting salon. This comprehensive renovation needed to address not only the aesthetic aspects but also enhance the functional flow of the space to create an efficient and welcoming atmosphere for clients.

The owner expressed, “Now, this place is incredibly beautiful, cozy, and warm—it’s exactly what we had envisioned.”

Custom Reception Desk and Seating

A bespoke reception area and comfortable seating were designed and installed, aligning perfectly with the dollhouse theme, ensuring functionality without compromising the overall aesthetic vision.

Flooring Overhaul

The existing floors were replaced with new, durable materials that not only improved the salon’s look but also enhanced the ease of maintenance and cleanliness—a crucial factor in salon environments.

Dollhouse Theme Throughout

Special attention was given to ensuring that the dollhouse theme was consistently applied across all areas of the salon, from the choice of colours and materials to the decorative elements that brought the theme to life.

The Bradburn Group app was utilized for continuous communication and collaboration, allowing the owner to share ideas, inspirations, and feedback throughout the renovation process. The owner praised, “The app that they use was extremely convenient… there was never any miscommunication at any point during the whole work.”
