INTERIORS

all that

GLITTERS IS GOLD Tucked away on Bondi’s bustling beachside enclave is the stunning Tan Temple. Anita Quade chats to owner Esther Wright about creating her glittering interiors for the ultimate client experience.

Congratulations on your stunning space The Tan Temple – how would you describe the vibe? “We took a lot of care in the creation of Tan Temple 2.0 I employed an incredible designer as it was important to me to create a state of the art spray tanning salon to match our services. I would describe it as immersive, warm, textural, glowing. Come join me in my caramel chocolate box, minimal 70’s glam vibes. We really took the essence of a tan and applied it to the interior. Very luxurious and spacious so you don’t feel crammed.” You moved from your original Bondi location to this space on Bondi beach – tell us why you moved? “I didn’t have the choice unfortunately developer’s bought our building and the one next door, this was always my aim to create this space though. Being only my second year of owning the company it was an absolute stretch but in the long run a real blessing in disguise. It’s been the hardest and most rewarding year of my life, I’m grateful for the lessons 2023 has taught me and looking forward to what 2024 has in store.” How hard was it finding the right location for your business? “I don’t know what sort of miracle the universe performed for me but it certainly was one. When I started looking I only had 6 months to find a new space, I found out at the beginning of Nov and as all of us know in the beauty industry Nov/Dec is nothing short of chaos so it was very stressful. I called all local contacts and even had one leasing agent laugh at me and said “good luck’…. I did find a new site very quickly and managed to secure it, less than 1min walk from my old site. In a gorgeous new construction build that’s newer so it won’t be knocked down anytime soon!! I always knew I needed to stay very close to our old space as to not shake up the clients.” 84 | WWW.PROFESSIONALBEAUTY.COM.AU

What is it you love most about your location? “I’m sure that’s pretty obvious!! The location is one of the most desirable in the world, working on Campbell Parade on the iconic Bondi beach is a dream come true - moments from the beautiful water, sand, Bondi to Bronte walk, cafes, restaurants and boutiques.” What is your favorite element of the space? “The colour, I really let the designers do their thing to create a vibe. We had many inspiration talks, looked at sample and colours, I spoke about my own personal aesthetic as well as the salons, but I didn’t give too much direction as that is their job and my god did they deliver! Dani from the Make Haus has created a few spaces for my friends so I always knew I wanted to work with her.”
