I approach getting my hair cut like I do pizza: I’m not so keen on experimenting. So for lunch it’s a margherita, while at the salon I’m content just getting my long mane tamed. The advantage here is you can compare different places to see who’s offering something truly special. And at the Amywho hair salon in the Bergmannkiez, the experience – and results – convinced me they were cut above the rest. Opened in April 2019, the place takes its name from founder Amy, a trained stylist from Leicester, UK, who has been in Berlin since 2013 and in hairdressing for 18 years. The look of the space is just my taste: the colored walls, concrete ceiling, mirrors leaning casually against the wall…not to mention the music. And with sound advice and a perfect cutting technique, the service is spot on, too. My colleague had her balayage done by Amy – a full color expert – and was equally enthusiastic. Whether it’s just a cut and blow-dry or a color transformation, you’ll step out feeling fresh. (Text: Nina Trippel / Photos: Pamina Aichhorn)
