The gentle strokes on my scalp almost transported me to the land of sweet dreams… seriously, I almost fell asleep when the«shampoo girl»(can you still call them that these days or is there a more p.c.-term around?) washed my hair. At Studio Stage Door all stylists are Japanese and a big chunk of their clientele is Japanese as well. I like this very much, as I kind of feel transported into another world when I come here to get my hair cut. I especially enjoy the lively chatter in a tongue that seems so familiar yet is still so different from either of the languages that I speak. It is at moments like this, when I’m absolutely thrilled to live in a cosmopolitain city! Originally, I heard about this place through my partner who is Asian and who treasures the special skills of the stylists here: they know how to handle the straight & often tricky hair so typical for the Asian people. But also, they also still master the art of a full-fledged scissors hair-cut…no razors allowed! Last but not least, everybody here is just super-friendly and always welcomes you with a bright smile.
