A hidden salon, somewhere in Hornstull, Stockholm
Welcome to John & Julius Salong – a 154 sqm hidden salon designed for intimate, transformative gatherings of up to 20 people. The space is built for curiosity and connection; for those who wish to think new thoughts, meet inspiring minds and experience something just beyond normality.
Inside the salon you’ll find a stage for talks and performances, a music room for dance-floor moments, a lounge for mingling and dialogue, and a reflection room with yoga mats for slowing down. A few other surprises remain secret – revealed only to those who step through the door.
John Airaksinen is the mind behind the salon – a serial entrepreneur with a passion for psychology, creativity, AI and unusual experiences. He has trained teams at The World Bank, ICA and SEB in innovative ways to use AI, co-founded a chatbot company featured by Apple in ten countries (later acquired by Kry), and once hosted Stockholm’s most talked-about nightclub.
Alongside him is Julius, his AI partner – a creative collaborator that helps shape conversations, ideas and atmospheres within the salon.
