From its retro cash registers and vintage-style barber seats to its tacky neon lights, *Pimps & Pinups* has that old style NYC appeal that brings back the days of Dick Tracy. The Lower East Side location is actually the second *Pimps & Pinups* hair salon, the first boutique having opened in London, England. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vintage Style Salons:** Opportunity for beauty entrepreneurs to open vintage-style hair salons that capture the charm and elegance of bygone eras. - **Retro Aesthetic:** Design and branding experts can create retro-inspired branding and marketing strategies that resonate with consumers who are nostalgic for the past. - **New York City Charm:** Entrepreneurs looking to open businesses in NYC can take inspiration from the city's history and create establishments that mimic the charm and appeal of old New York. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hair and Beauty:** The hair and beauty industry can capitalize on the vintage trend by incorporating retro-inspired designs and marketing campaigns that appeal to nostalgia-seeking consumers. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality establishments can attract customers and create memorable experiences by creating interior and exterior designs that capture a retro aesthetic. - **Retail:** Retail businesses can create store designs and branding that incorporate a retro theme to appeal to customers looking for unique and nostalgic shopping experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pampering Festive Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-bow-bar.md) - [Art-Inspired Hair Salon Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-arts-salon.md) - [Hybrid Hair Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-hair-salon.md) - [Legendary Stylist Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-steinberg.md) - [Old School Glamorous Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlotta.md) - [Pet-and-Owner Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/short-bark-and-sides.md) - [Dynamic Terrazzo Hair Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-hair-salon.md) - [Beautifying Beach Club Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/covent-garden-popup.md) - [Soda-Themed Pop-Up Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-max-cherry-x-townhouse-salon.md)
