FEATURES

The Clairol Exhibit is designed exclusively for women and admission is restricted to women.

The building is a circular, cage-like structure. The facade is decorated with sweeping flower forms in a technique reminiscent of art nouveau. Behind the translucent flowers, there are enormous butterfly shapes that move majestically as the carousel turns.

Each woman who visits the building receives a personal hair coloring analysis while seated in a private booth.
