Asians ahoy…read more..
There's one more place in Copenhagen to fix your thick, bushy Asian hair that most hairdressers in Copenhagen are whining about.
Yep, I got recommended by Mina K about this place and honestly I wondered why didn't I come any sooner? I have been relying on the 11-hour jet trip back home to Indonesia annually to fix my hair (including the chemical straightening), but surely there's a place in Copenhagen that could do the same job without emptying my bank account?
Here comes Camilla into the picture, she does magic with her knife and scissor wielding-hands, although she was a lot less scarier than Edward Scissorhands. As I have witnessed how fantastic Mina K's haircut is, surely she could do mine as well.
Once I arrived to the place, slightly scared about coming out later with butchered hair, I was offered some drinks and the floor manager Zeus also went out to greet me and sniff my shoes (yes, Zeus is a dog :P and the floor manager title is brilliant, because that's what he does, lounging on the floor...)
Camilla listened what I wanted and as I asked for her opinion as well (because my idea of hair-styling is pretty much nonexistent) and she suggested things that would work on my wild, thick and bushy hair. She stopped now and then to make sure that I approved her moves 100% and I never felt safer to trust the fate of my head on her hands (insert GoT jokes here).
All in all, it was a very pleasant experience - I was never a big chatter with hairdresser and it wasn't awkward that way either. She asked a few times if I was happy with my hair, or did she need to trim more (since I wanted much shorter hair than my previous Tarzan-state).
In the end she gave me a stamp card that you'd get your fifth haircut with 50% discount (very important in pricey Denmark) and that everything could be fixed by a phonecall or online booking. Now I know that I could always trust Camilla to fix my hair. I just hope that she's not moving anywhere anytime soon (this - somehow always happen to all my hairdressers :/ )
