About
Meet Simon—your Hackney based hairdresser with over 20 years of experience
My hairdressing journey began in a traditional South German salon—think perms, rollers, and a few rather intimidating contraptions. In 2012, I moved to London, where I quickly built a reputation as one of East London’s most sought-after hairdressers.
Since moving to London, I’ve expanded my skills by working with Aveda backstage at London Fashion Week on some of the industry’s most exciting shows, as well as in editorial photoshoots for brands like Hunger Magazine and Oxfam. My wig creations have also been featured at Ibiza’s iconic Club Amnesia and worn by international drag artists on shows such as RuPauls Drag Race.
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.
