Being an Asian in a Scandi town far north is not easy, especially when it comes to hair care.
Everyone is probably an expert in flat & thin Scandi hair, but nobody knows what to do with bushy thick Asian hair. At least that's the kind of experience I have gotten the past 9 years I have been trying to find the perfect hairdresser here with the result that I strive to cut my hair only in my home country - once a year, that is.
A yelper - (fellow Asian Signe S) recommended this place since the top stylist Naja Kim is also an Asian. Now now, I am not trying to discriminate or anything, but I absolutely need to have another Asian (or someone who has knowledge of how Asian hair works - instead of complaining about it - like a hairdresser I knew here in Copenhagen) to cut my hair.
Already when I stepped into the bright hair salon in Vesterbro (just across my favourite pho place, what are the odds!) I already felt welcomed. The "bouncer" beagle named Easy was super charming and welcoming :P and the staff were so accommodating.
You could choose which stylist is your preference when you book time online and I chose Naja Kim herself who was very thorough in her explanation of what she was going to do with my hair. It was also a surprise that she did everything (including hair washing) herself (in other places, even the so-called "organic" salon I know in Copenhagen, they only sprayed my hair to make it wet instead of actually washing it). She was very patient and accommodating and made sure that everything just like I wanted it.
I recommend Naja Kim to all the lost Asians in Copenhagen who have constantly bad hair day thanks to Scandi stylists who have no clue how to cut Asian hair. Try her! read more
