Hair color and Highlights
Hair colors and highlights are a great way to give your hair a new look and emphasize your personal style.
Hair Straightening and Hair Shaping
I discovered my passion for hairshaping during my apprenticeship in 1986. The decade of the cold perm. But in the mid-90s no one wanted a perm anymore. But in 1996, a Japanese stylist Yuko Yamashita invented the „reverse perm“, i.e. the first permanent hair straightening. Since 2013 I have specialized in hair transformations.
The Original japanese Hairstraightening YUKO
Yuko permanently smooths hair without compromising hair health. This means you will have smooth lengths and curly roots if you do not touch up. Depending on the growth rate, the touch-up time will be between 6-8 months.
Perfect hair smoothing and stunning curls: Discover the expertise in Japanese hair straightening and digital perm. The active ingredient is thioglycolic acid, which breaks the inner bonds of the hair. Works very well on healthy, strong, resilient, and curly hair types. Bleached hair cannot receive this treatment.
Time required 5.5 hours. The follow-up treatments will require approximately 45-60 minutes less time than the first treatment.

Before and after
In many media, Asian characters are often portrayed with straightened hair.
This can contribute to people getting the impression that all Asians have straight hair. But that’s not correct. In Asia, people get their first perm or hair straightening from the age of 5. The Japanese are the pioneers of permanent hair straightening!
You can’t always tell how popular hair straightening is in Asia because the focus is on making it look natural.
And if you have straight hair, you would like to have movement in your hair. Watch the video from Japan on how Japanese women react to the first Yuko treatment.
Diverse Choise of organic products
I also have various formulas of organic chemical-free hair straighteners, so I can truly straighten all hair types, with results that can vary from temporary, demi-permanent and permanent.
These products are suitable for all hair types from dull looking hair to dry and damaged hair.
I am prepared for all hair situations and have a wide range of products to give everyone straight hair.
However, it is important to note that the best treatment for your hair can only be decided at the appointment, regardless of which method is booked.
Each hair type is unique and may require different approaches.
As a service provider, I have developed a concept that aims to provide you with all the relevant information you need.
At my concept, the pre-consultation deliberately takes a back seat.
You can make an appointment with me, preferably without arranging a prior consultation. Only after a deep hair cleansing, I am able to professionally answer all your questions about your hair situation.
If you still prefer a prior consultation, you also have the option to book a paid 30-minute consultation.
Please note: It would be ideal if you appear to the consultation appointment with open and air-dried hair.
Additionally, it is advisable to inform yourself in advance about the services offered. A consultation appointment is not meant to repeatedly basic information that can already be found on the website. Instead, it should serve to clarify any remaining questions.
A principle of my philosophy is that my customers deserve my full attention!
As a sole proprietor, I unfortunately cannot offer telephone appointments or advice for hair straightening. My services are in high demand and are considered standard throughout Asia. My luxury treatments are also known and available in cities like London or New York, but they can hardly be found in Germany.
To counteract the constant calls throughout the day, I don’t give out a public phone number.
However, appointments can be easily booked online around the clock.
It was unfortunate that back in 2013 I discovered that around 60% of the agreed appointents were not kept. This was because my salon was one of the first to offer the new keratin straightening. Other salons also had similar experiences in 2016-2018.
For this reason I require an advance payment of €150 for every booking. Hair straightening is billed based on time spent at an hourly rate of €70.
Open Time: Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. at the earliest.
I don’t plan on having spontaneous customers.
I recommend that you watch IPTV on my TV during the treatment and bring Bluetooth in-ear headphones with you.
My dog Ludo is always by my side. If you’re afraid of dogs, just ignore Ludo. After 2 minutes at the latest you will be uninteresting to Ludo.
