In the end, of course, he was completely right, and suggested something much better. He took into account my thin hair, my fine, limp strands, and the shape of my face to come up with something much more flattering.

Every time I try a new place, they blow dry my hair into a big bubble that sits on my head like a 50s housewife, but Christian and Manuel know better. They are willing to do what you ask of them, but they can also suggest something fantastic as well. Now that I have moved out of the kiez, I still come back here just for them. Appointments are a must
