About Dkuk
Haircuts in front of art
2018 British Hairdressing Business awards finalist & L’Oréal Colour Trophy finalists with gender neutral pricing.
Dkuk Description
Established in 2014, DKUK is the original hair salon that got rid of mirrors, offering haircuts and colour in front of art. This unique environment creates an experience like no other.
DKUK is for everyone; you can come in for a haircut, or just to see the exhibition. Open to all hair types and lengths, we charge gender neutral pricing based on time and stylists’ experience. We proudly stock vegan hair care range Pureology, Davines’ sustainable styling products, Philip Kingsley’s award-winning scalp treatments and are the only Peckham stockist of leading afro hair brand Design Essentials.
Realised by artist /hairdresser Daniel Kelly, DKUK is a platform for making contemporary art and the discussion around it more commonplace and accessible. Staging six exhibitions and various events a year in the welcoming setting of a bustling hair salon, DKUK presents itself as a new model for creative practices and artistic economies to support each other. This includes commissioning new art works and providing full training for artists to become hairdressers. The co-existence of hairdressing and art means at DKUK we look after peoples’ heads – inside and out.
Reviews
Next Monday, join us for a panel discussion and live podcast recording between @_SamJacob (architect), Daniel Kelly (director DKUK), Marysia Lewandowska @screened_out (artist) and Sarah McCrory (director @GoldsmithsCCA) talking about the design and use of art spaces. 🏛
Details of models that are part of @_samjacob's Museum Show; ⠀ 🚽 @assembleofficial's 'Bathers', who have re-imagined a half size prototype of an Armitage Shanks ceramic toilet as a recreational space, including 1:87 scale mini-humans going for a dip.⠀ .⠀ 🤘 @pup_architects's 'Museum of Geology', where underground galleries comprise the world’s finest collection of historical, contemporary, natural and man-made⠀ geology intended to be experienced as up-close encounters in their natural context. @ DKUK
Highlighting another two contributions to 'museum show'; ⠀ 🛒 @officemmx contributed their 'Fulfillment Centre', a redesign of industrial dockland that houses 'art stores' (can you spot MoMa over in the corner?) next to superstores. ⠀ .⠀ ⛱️ @maioarchitects 'A Small Museum of Architectural Clichés' is an ongoing postcard collection of architectural structures from around the globe. Sent from sons to parents, among friends, from lovers to their future husbands or wives, maybe from one continent to another, they now come together to form newly assembled structures. @ DKUK
