Having a hard time finding the right salon for your hair? Stockholm is full of salons and barber shops that offer hair braiding, relaxing, setting, dreadlocks and weaves. We’ve gathered a list for you!
It’s never easy to find a hairdresser who can cut and style your hair just as you like it, but as an African or someone of mixed race it can be particularly difficult to find salons that specialize in your hair type. Not every salon is experienced with this type of hair and there is a certain reassurance that comes from having your locks maintained by someone who personally understands the way to treat your hair. In this list you will find the best African and multi-ethnic barber shops, salons and beauty supply shops in Stockholm. Many of these salons will also sell products specifically for your individual hairstyle needs. So whether you have dreadlocks, need your hair relaxed or are just looking for basic care, these are the people who can help you.
