What really
happens here.
Six areas, described honestly. What we do, how long it takes and who it’s worth it for. So you know beforehand what you’re getting into.
The cut.
The foundation.
What happens
- Consultation with your hair dry, so we can see cowlicks and how it falls
- Wash at the basin with a scalp massage, about five minutes
- Cut, checked dry in between if needed
- Blow-dry and styling, plus a tip on how to get it right at home
Who it’s for
For anyone who needs an appointment every six to ten weeks and wants a result that works without half an hour of effort in the morning.
If you want a big change, we take fifteen minutes more. Please mention it in your request so we can plan for it.
Good to know
You don’t need a full appointment for a fringe trim in between. Just drop by. It takes ten minutes and costs €9.
With very long or very thick hair, blow-drying takes longer. We tell you the extra charge beforehand, and it’s €10 at most.
Color that doesn’t
look like color.
What happens
- Color consultation by the window in daylight, not under artificial light
- We mix it fresh and apply it to the roots first
- Processing time 30 to 40 minutes, with coffee or tea for you
- Rinse, acidic conditioning rinse, blow-dry
Who it’s for
For grey roots, for a shade that has washed out, and for anyone who wants to go a touch warmer or cooler without anyone noticing.
Grey regrowth shows after four to six weeks. If you want to stretch the time between appointments, highlights are often the better choice.
Good to know
We work ammonia-free. It smells less harsh and is gentler on the scalp, but it needs a few extra minutes to process.
Before your first color we do an allergy test behind the ear 48 hours ahead. The manufacturers require it, and it takes two minutes.
Highlights, balayage
and blonde.
Foils
Fine strands are sectioned one by one and wrapped in foil. That gives an even, light result right up to the roots.
It lasts well, but needs a touch-up every eight to ten weeks because the roots start to show.
Balayage and freehand
We paint the lightener on freehand with a brush, and the roots stay darker. The result looks like a summer at the lake.
The biggest advantage is that it grows out softly. Many clients only come twice a year, and a gloss treatment is enough in between.
Bleaching
Before any strong lightening we do a test strand at the nape of the neck. It shows us how much your hair can take and how long it needs.
When we say two appointments are needed, we mean it. We won’t risk broken hair for one shade lighter.
Updos
for that one day.
First chat
Bring pictures along, and feel free to bring a photo of the dress or the neckline too. We’ll tell you honestly what works with your hair length and what doesn’t.
Trial appointment
About four weeks before, we pin up the whole style once. You wear it for a day and see if it holds. It’s €45, which we credit toward the main appointment.
The day itself
We’ll open for you outside our normal hours too, on Sundays from 7:00. If you like, we come to you, within 20 kilometers.
Your party
Mother, maid of honor, flower kids. We plan the order so everyone is ready on time. Just tell us how many people at the first chat.
Hair care.
The invisible part.
Intensive treatment
A treatment under a heat cap after washing. It brings moisture back when your hair feels like straw after summer, chlorine or dry heating air.
You see the effect straight away, and it lasts about two to three washes.
Bond repair
For hair that has been damaged by bleaching or heat. The treatment works inside the hair fiber and makes it stronger.
We recommend it with every lightening service. After three treatments the difference is clear.
Scalp
For itching, dandruff or a tight feeling. Exfoliation, massage and a soothing lotion.
If we think a dermatologist is the better place to go, we’ll tell you. We won’t sell you anything that doesn’t help.
Beard care
and the classic shave.
Beard care
- Lines on cheeks and neck cleaned up with the razor
- Length adjusted as you like, with scissors or clippers
- Wash, work in oil, brush out
Every three to four weeks. If you’re growing your beard out, it helps to come every two weeks during the in-between phase to even it up.
Hot towel shave
- Hot towel to soften the skin
- Lathered with brush and bowl
- Shaved with the straight razor, twice with the grain
- Cold towel and balm to finish
This isn’t a trend, it’s a craft. And for a lot of men it’s the quietest half hour of the week.
Cut and beard together
The appointment most men book. Hair and beard are matched to each other, and that’s really the whole point.
Gray blending for hair or beard is possible, subtle and not recognizable as color. Allow an extra 45 minutes.
