Susan and Ben Work met in New York. It\u2019s where the former, a Los Angeles native, earned her associates degree in interior design from Parsons School of Design and the latter, from Washing\u00adton, his master\u2019s in architecture from Columbia University. They remained in the city, dating and working\u2014she at Yabu Pushelberg and ICrave, he at 212box\u2014until the 2008 recession hit, leaving them both without jobs. So they moved to San Francisco, married, and, in 2014, founded Homework<\/a>, their surname an irresistible component of the firm\u2019s moniker.<\/p>\n

Young, scrappy, and entrepreneurial, the Works found a kindred spirit in client Brittany Barnes, a Black businesswoman who had identified a need for a beauty salon in Oakland dedicated to textured hair. She came to Homework with the project already named, GoodBody, branded, and envisioned as high-end and luxurious\u2014but on a tight budget. Once stripped down, the 1,400-square-foot former office space revealed fortuitous assets: a 25-foot ceiling, full-height windows, and concrete flooring. The Works shaped the cavernous volume with a pair of curved tambour-fronted units painted dusty red. One forms a continuous reception desk and banquette; another provides shelving for product display. The styling stations each boast a knockout arched mirror. \u201cLighting is crucial,\u201d Ben notes of the dimmable LED strips surrounding them. \u201cIt\u2019s where the magic happens,\u201d Susan adds. More arches frame the shampoo stations, where walls are emerald green. Gold velvet drapes the doorways to private facial rooms.<\/p>\n
