Inhale…Exhale!

Tribus Urbaines launches its concept store: a place to inspire and be inspired

In the early days of developing our business concept for Tribus Urbaines, we imagined a place that would be a source of deep inspiration, a space to take an energizing break away from our noisy, busy lives. In our imagination, Tribus Urbaines would be a welcoming living room where people could gather, mix and talk together. We imagined a place where we could learn, think, and ask questions, and where we could dare to redefine our concepts of beauty, gender or identity. We imagined a joyful place full of laughter and rich in ambience. We also imagined a beautiful place that was welcoming, comforting and that made people feel good about themselves. Tribus Urbaines would be a lair, decorated with books, music and photos – a place where inspiring women and men share their stories, their art, and their knowledge.

We have since passed from dreams to reality and today, the gateway to the Tribus Urbaines “concept” is the hairdressing salon, which offers clients specialized techniques, know-how and products. It’s a place where everyone is welcome; especially those with curly, frizzy and afro hair.

And our mission continues. Starting on December 7th, the waiting area at Tribus Urbaines in Lausanne, rue de la Madeline 10, will become a “concept store” with books, fashion accessories, a deli, cosmetics and other items for body and soul.  

The space will also become the place for cultural events and exchanges.
