Let's be honest: changing your hairdresser is basically an emotional breakup. Add moving to a new city — or a new country, with a new language — and it becomes even trickier. Will they understand your hair texture? Your colour dreams? Your panic when someone mentions "layers"?


We all know that person who absolutely refuses to find a new hairdresser and instead flies back home every Christmas or summer holiday just to get a trim at their trusted salon. (And if you don’t know that person... sorry, it’s you.)

Sure, haircuts in Hamburg can be pricey — but when you add up the cost of the flight and all those “quick shopping trips” back home, suddenly booking an appointment here doesn’t sound so bad anymore! ✈️💇‍♀️


So the time has come: put down Skyscanner girl, we have got you covered. We have asked around in our BBA community — full of true hair connoisseurs and diverse hair types — and gathered the ultimate list of hair salons in Hamburg that our members trust and love.


Whether you are looking for a curl expert, a bold colour transformation, or the perfect sleek cut, these hairdressers in Hamburg are ready to work their magic. ✨
