After reading DomingoJamon's review on here about Jags Hair Douglas I thought I would give it a go…read moreas my German is pretty substandard, and a haircut is not something you leave to the hands of someone you HOPE has understood you (now dont get me wrong, I know this is my problem in Germany,,,,but a girl still needs a haircut!). So I tripped off down on a saturday morning and was pleasantly suprised. I would never call it a cosy salon, its got a kinda of industrial pregnancy to it, there are remants of previous concepts that could turn into new concepts, but its got a funkiness to it that doesnt come from a vogue magazine. The music was great, and almost wanted to ask for a soundtrack to my haircut. Also it is not like one of the haircutting production lines that are oh so commone, there were three chairs and at no point did i feel like I was being rushed through the experiencewhich when you consider the price you pay for a haircut these days is an important measure of value these days. My hair cut, well I think the team was very proffessional, and did a good job (although to their credit they were working with the grown out remnants of the worst haircut ive ever had!). Although the choice of colours was a little limited, they made excellent recommendations. And my favorite part of the experience was that I did not have to instruct the staff on how to cut my hair. I hate spending rediculous amounts of money on a hair cut for which I told the hair dresser exactly what they needed to dorather I sat down and said I wanted a short hair cut, fix the shape, redo the fringe and warm up the coloureasythat was the end of the converstation. Its hair dressers like that which make me feel justified in paying a tip.

I am fortunate enough to come regularly to Köln for business. Sometimes on the spur of the moment,…read moreso it was with great joy that I was recommended Jags Hair in the Brabanter strasse, as I had a meeting approaching and my hair was showing signs of stress and suffering from a lack of attention! Fortunately I was calmed down by Douglas and his able assistant Prunella, and after about 45 minutes of chat, and snipping diligently away - I started to not only look, but also feel human. Expecting to pay through the nose for an excellent haircut, I was pleasantly surprised to pay about half the price I normally pay in London. I now try and arrange my business in Cologne to coincide with a cut! The deco is individual - the atmosphere enjoyable and smiles seem to bounce off the walls. Together with some good music from the past and present, I left the shop looking forward to the future. Thank you everyone at Jags.
