Asians ahoy…read more.. There's one more place in Copenhagen to fix your thick, bushy Asian hair that most hairdressers in Copenhagen are whining about. Yep, I got recommended by Mina K about this place and honestly I wondered why didn't I come any sooner? I have been relying on the 11-hour jet trip back home to Indonesia annually to fix my hair (including the chemical straightening), but surely there's a place in Copenhagen that could do the same job without emptying my bank account? Here comes Camilla into the picture, she does magic with her knife and scissor wielding-hands, although she was a lot less scarier than Edward Scissorhands. As I have witnessed how fantastic Mina K's haircut is, surely she could do mine as well. Once I arrived to the place, slightly scared about coming out later with butchered hair, I was offered some drinks and the floor manager Zeus also went out to greet me and sniff my shoes (yes, Zeus is a dog :P and the floor manager title is brilliant, because that's what he does, lounging on the floor...) Camilla listened what I wanted and as I asked for her opinion as well (because my idea of hair-styling is pretty much nonexistent) and she suggested things that would work on my wild, thick and bushy hair. She stopped now and then to make sure that I approved her moves 100% and I never felt safer to trust the fate of my head on her hands (insert GoT jokes here). All in all, it was a very pleasant experience - I was never a big chatter with hairdresser and it wasn't awkward that way either. She asked a few times if I was happy with my hair, or did she need to trim more (since I wanted much shorter hair than my previous Tarzan-state). In the end she gave me a stamp card that you'd get your fifth haircut with 50% discount (very important in pricey Denmark) and that everything could be fixed by a phonecall or online booking. Now I know that I could always trust Camilla to fix my hair. I just hope that she's not moving anywhere anytime soon (this - somehow always happen to all my hairdressers :/ )

I've avoided salons for roughly 2 years since I moved to Denmark (the price for haircuts in this…read morecountry also did not help). But once I find a good salon, I stick with them... and I think I found that with Chill Organic. In my opinion, there are 2 types of bad hairdressers (I'm sure there are more, but these are the 2 that I've experienced). One that gives you whatever cut you want, without giving their professional input, and you end up with a cut that you saw in a photo that you THOUGHT you wanted. But then afterwards, you realize the cut doesn't suit your face and you're stuck with haircut that you don't like. Then there's the other, a hairdresser that completely ignores whatever you say and gives you whatever cut he/she wants to give you. (Yes, it happens). Fortunately for me at Chill Organic, they give you the perfect balance of giving you the cut you want but also giving their professional input on what would work/look best for you. They really work with you every step of the way to ensure that they're giving you the cut you want but also working with your specific hair type in order to get the best results. I like when hairdressers offer their input (apparently, some people don't). I may know my own hair, but they're the professionals and I like to be able to trust my hairdresser to give his/her honest opinion on what will work and not work for me. And that's what I got at Chill Organic. The salon itself is in a great location, right on the main street. It's not a huge salon so it's a very hygge setting. The decor is minimal and sleek. They use all organic products (that smell amazing, btw). The hairdressers were incredibly friendly and their "Office Manager," Zeus, is so freaking adorable! Coming from the US, their prices may seem a bit steep, but I think for the service and quality of the haircut, Chill Organic is worth it.
