About

A humble start that sparked a lifelong passion

In 2012, I relocated to London and quickly established myself in East London’s top salons. I was selected by Aveda to style for London Fashion Week, working backstage on some of the industry’s most exciting shows. My editorial work spans photoshoots for brands like Hunger Magazine and Oxfam, while my wig creations have been worn by performers at Ibiza’s iconic Club Amnesia, as well as by international drag artists.

By 2022, I launched “That German Hairdresser,” choosing to rent a chair instead of running a salon, so I can focus on what really matters: offering a personal, sustainable experience for every client.

In my free time, I love getting hands-on with home improvements, web design, and sewing—hobbies that sharpen my attention to detail and fuel my passion for sustainability. I’m also fascinated by science, physics, and architecture, which inspire my creative and practical approach to everything I do.
