Haircuts & colour in a private hair salon in Hackney

Guten Tag, I’m Simon Schuetz, also known as That German Hairdresser. Over the last twenty years I’ve worked in busy salons across Munich and London. Something that never gets old to me is watching a client see themselves in the mirror and genuinely love the look weโ€™ve created together.

That moment happens best without the distractions of a crowded room. Traditional salons are often noisy, rushed, and rarely as sustainable as they could be. I’ve opened my own private studio in Hackney to change all that. Here, it’s all about you and your hair and everything, from the products I use to the process, is done with care and consideration.

What Clients Say

  • Simon is one of those rare professionals who truly cares, not just about getting the job done, but about doing it well, and about how you feel throughout the experience…

    Amanda G
  • Simon has been looking after my bleached blonde hair for years and after each visit, I feel great about my hair and receive lots of compliments from others. Highly recommended …

    Karolina Z
  • Simon has been cutting my hair for years. Heโ€™s the best. Also very honest with what is possible and not possible/what wonโ€™t look good with my type of hair, which I really appreciate…

    Adele S
  • Simon is the colour king and itโ€™s never a โ€˜one size fits allโ€™ or โ€˜same againโ€™ approach even if youโ€™ve been seeing him for a while…

    Miranda C
  • Simon’s colour skills are fantastic and consistently brilliant. He keeps notes on every visit so he’s always across what we’ve done previously…

What you
can Expect

Your Very Own Studio

When you come in, the studio is yours. One client at a time, no rushing, no distractions, no waiting. Catch up on work, keep chat to a minimum, or play your own music. You control the vibe!

Straightforward Advice

I tell it like it is. If something will not work for your hair, you will hear it straight. Clear advice, no fluff, no vague promises.

Ethical & Transparent

Everything else follows the same rule. Ethical, cruelty-free products and fixed pricing. You know exactly what you are getting and nothing is left to chance.
