Hi

just wondered if anyone knows of a good hairdresser for Asian hair - someone who can cope with thick hair, and lots of it. I've been to a number here, but tend to leave with a poorly cut head of hair that looks like Ive dragged through a bush backwards.

My current solution is to wait till i travel to a country which has decent places, but since I havent travelled for a while, I need to seek out somewhere in Zurich. . .

Thea also walks on water and I could walk again after visiting her salon...

I've tried a couple at Grob in Shopville Zurich HB and haven't had any disasters. But these days I go to an old school barber in Seefeld, next to the Fröhlichstrasse tramstop.

Cost for a dry cut?

Assuming you mean the barber - about CHF30 as far as I recall. He might charge a little less if your hair isn't too long. Beware, he doesn't speak English!

Ask for Marika (Marico) - i'm not sure how to spell it. She is Japanese, and she is great, friendly and speaks German and English.

It's 38 for men, including wash and a little head massage.

Greetings,

I am looking for a hairdresser who can do 'black' textured hair in Zurich or Basel. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I think I've seen some places in the Langstrasse area in Zurich, but you might want to double check that first.

Hello Catina

In the Gundeldingen area of Basel about 100 metres from the main trainstation I saw a hairdressing salon which seems only to serve or specialise in "African type" hair.

If I go there on Tuesday (to the station not the salon ) I'll see if I can get the contact details for you.

HTH

There's one in Winterthur as well, if none of the others work out, let me know and I'll get the contact info if you like.

Just under the Hells Angels bar on Langstrasse (near Limmatplatz, ZH) there's an Afro Hairdressers.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I was actually looking for someone who can do ladies, so I will check out Marika.

Hi

This is my first posting :-)

I've been reading & getting lots of useful tips from this forum. It's great!

I'm in search for a hairdresser here in Zurich who can handle asian hair. I tried once going to a swiss hairdresser & was obviously not happy with the outcome

My hair is pretty thin, just like me & i'm just used to having layered cut in Kuala Lumpur

There's a japanese woman whom i've been visiting for a haircut & she does it very nicely but she's in Uster. Would prefer if there's one in Zurich

Looking forward to hear from you guys

Cheers
Spinky

You have read the post 2 up from yours, right?

yes i have read them. a friend of mine was there a couple of weeks back & it didn't look so good. i was hoping there are more japanese/asian hairdresser that i can check out

thanks

Hiya

Ive been to a Japanese hairdresser in Zurich - but he's quite expensive - think it was 120 Fr... and he's pretty good with layers and thinning...I was just wondering if there was anyone cheaper!

hello hirano

thanks for your message!

it is indeed very expensive, i would say

actually, i don't mind any hairdresser... asian or european. as long as they're good with layers & thinning & of course not so expensive :-)

cheers

Hiya - yes the search is on - and my hair really needs a cut!

Let's see if anyone else has suggestions.

sorry dee, i'm kinda blurr this morning... address you as hirano :-D

any idea how i can correct it?

Dear Catina,

There are a few African operated places in the Langstrasse area, and Brazilian and Cuban operated ones in the Oerlikon area. However, depending on your hair texture and what you want done with it, you may wish to venture to Geneva - which is a bit more diverse - or even to London (two hour flight and you can spend the weekend), where the possibilities are endless...and you may even find an affordable one. Good luck.
