story
PAINT & POWDER STAFFORD
Located in the centre of Stafford’s historic Market Square, Paint & Powder is
a stunning new salon curated by former Most Wanted Colour Expert winner,
Katie Mulcahy. The name is derived from the creativity of colouring hair and
a texture loved by Katie, while also a reference to gunpowder, a clever nod
to the salon’s heritage as a gun shop. “I fell in love with the building when it
was a gin bar. Sipping on a cocktail, I used to look around and imagine it as
a beautiful salon. Never did I think that it would actually happen,” she admits.
And that’s exactly what she’s done. Inside you’ll fi nd beautiful sugar almond
shades on painted walls alongside plenty of natural wood (the reception
desk was created by a carpenter pal), lots of greenery for a fresh vibe, jars of
sweet treats and a very ’grammable retro rotary dial telephone at reception.
It’s also well stocked with Authentic Beauty Concept on the shelves and
Schwarzkopf Professional colour fuelling the artistry.
