First impressions: this place is super tiny, a little shabby and also super laid back. Love the little bench in the front window. :)
Second impression: this place is built on it's (regular) customers!
The haircut:
My hair is a bitch. That's the best way of putting it. I have straight hairs mixed with frizzy afro hairs which makes getting my hair cut a bitch too. Usually I love my hair for up to a full nine hours after getting it cut and styled properly and end up hating it for about two months with it taking another four months before I even remotely dare to take the plunge again.
This time was different. This time (for the first time in my life!!!) my hair was treated as curly hair. Most hairdressers cut my hair like it's straight hair and ignore the frizzles. So, this time my hair was super curly when I left. Not a look I like on myself, but I figured I'd give it a chance and see how it would settle. Again, usually I hate my hair after it settles... Well, the day after I could immediately see that for once a hairdresser had actually done what I'd asked! *gasp*
For the first time ever I was actually happy post haircut. For the first time a hairdresser had managed to just trim the dead ends, add some layers and NOT take off half my hair! Amazing! I actually still had long hair when leaving the hairdressers. Which for me has never happened before.
Anyway, long story short. In the search for just one hairdresser who really "gets me", I'm not sure this is the one, but while I search high and low, de Kappers will definitely be my go-to whenever I spontaneously decide to get a haircut and I'm in the city anyway. ;) A solid 3.5 stars. read more
