Beauty references

18 deeply-analysed beauty sites, 13 flagship-tier. Each carries the design tokens, the do and don't rules, the signature moves and the section anatomy, so an AI builder grounds a beauty brief in how the best sites actually build it (home, about, services, service detail, faq, contact, location, branch).

a Japanese "books-meets-hair-salon" venture site that runs as one long illustrated scroll, a flat textured editorial illustration carrying the full-bleed hero on a #42B775 green, manifesto prose centred on #F2EFDE cream paper, Yeseva One display caps over a TsukuA Old Min mincho body, and a slow 0.8s cubic-bezier(0.18,0.06,0.23,1) reveal with floating cut-out motifs that bob and drift between sections.

a Tokyo hair salon built as a near-silent editorial split-screen, ink-black 10px Neue Haas Grotesk and a Ryo/Classico serif on a warm stone #D6D4C9 ground, where the only voice of colour is a muted plum #725068, two panels scroll independently, and a GSAP-plus-Barba intro brings the fixed header up over 1.1s on an expo-out curve.
