I return from my summer vacation refreshed yet tired — the last grains of sand hide in the narrow crevices of my suitcase and the salty scent of seawater lingers on my clothes. Weeks after my vacation, my hair is still feeling the effects of the salt water and blazing sun that I exposed it to for days on end. My ends are brittle and fragile, they feel dry and rough. If yours feel the same, I recommend a visit to Molar. Kathrin Zenk founded the hair salon near Savignyplatz in 2011 after working for Vidal Sassoon, Wella and Aveda. Back then, the salon was opened and run by three people — the team now consists of ten colorists and master stylists, some of whom Kathrin has been working with for years. It doesn’t matter if you’re at a loss for ideas when you visit or have been busy collecting inspiration and ideas, the team not only takes their time when it comes to implementation but is also happy to advise you on a new look.
The “Hair Spa Treatments” are also particularly popular here. With the scalp treatment, for example, you’re doing something good for your hair and your scalp will be properly looked after. Alexander Wang, Lala Berlin, von Bardonitz, Nobi Talai, Marc Cain and Dorothee Schumacher, are just some of the names that the team has worked with at international fashion weeks in recent years. If you want to know which cuts and colors are trending at the moment and which suits you best, Molar is the right salon for you.
