peter arnheim haare & makeup

Today was my first visit to this salon and it certainly won't be the last.
On entering I was given a warm friendly welcome and immediately offered a drink.
I was introduced to Tyler, who as well as offering me good advice, also listened patiently to my wishes. He snipped away at my hair with confidence but not rushing either, which made me feel at ease.
The end result was excellent and I know I'll be back there again.

Thanks Tyler - you made my day!

The staff is very nice and helpful and is willing to listen to you, but they do not know how to handle curls. The hairdresser kept making remarks and making fun of how my hair bounces back when she pulls it (yes, it's curly hair; it's called shrinkage; google it!) When she first started she was going to brush my hair while it was dry, as I knew that would have been a painful experience I told her to brush it with conditioner in it, and thankfully she did that. The wash was nice, and the shampoo and conditioner they used were really good for my hair. The cut itself was not great. She cut it while it was wet, and by the time she finished it was a puffy mess. She did not know what to do with it afterwards, so I told her that I normally wash my hair, put leave in cream in it then wash it. She brought just a little bit of leave in cream and began to scrunch it in my dry frizzy hair. I then had to literally do it myself so that she can understand how curly haired girls style their hair. Then she also wasn't sure if you're supposed to use a diffuser when drying curly hair and if so how that would be done. I appreciate that she spent about two hours washing and cutting then styling my hair, but the fact that I had to walk her through it was unprofessional in my opinion. She also kept making remarks as to how tiring my hair is. (yes, I know, I've lived with it my whole life) Then she charged me 90 euros for the cut even though I had to walk her through every bit of it. Overall, it's a nice salon, but DO NOT go if you have curly hair.

My fiancé began using the services of Peter and Mathias, and I was quite impressed by the results. I heard so many good things about the atmosphere and the people that everything seemed familiar the moment I entered the shop. The interior design is minimalist and wonderfully tasteful; everything about the place made me feel very much at home. Peter, Markus and Mathias are all very polite and professional.


The best part, of course, is the excellent hair cut I receive. I often walk in looking like a Yukon gold miner after a hard winter and leave an hour later looking several years younger and thoroughly acceptable for a professional meeting. You can be sure that I come here when I am preparing for an important appearance! Nobody has ever cut my hair this well, and the beard trims are very good as well (and the contouring is more-or-less optimized since I started coming). The precision and attention to detail that Mathias showed when working surpasses anything I've encountered in over 40 years in several countries.


A difficult course of continuing education has made me a "stranger" for the past few months (the shop is some distance to travel, and my schedule is nuts), but I will be stopping in soon to look my best for a lecture in Budapest in early May. I hope Matthias doesn't have a heart attack when he sees me come in, but I simply couldn't stand the thought of having the locals screw up what hair I have left, so I prefer to look unkempt until I can get it done the right way in the right place.


I also continue to be very, very happy with the excellent service that my fiancé receives. The results were top in the beginning, and they've only gotten better. Peter has the perfect touch with color, and the bit of make-up work he did for her one day was great! And I hate make-up! Apparently not when it's done by a real pro.
