Schnittstelle Friseure

A Color Salon at Kollwitzplatz

Kollwitzstraße 70 is located in the quieter part of the Kollwitzkiez, just a few minutes from the square itself and from tram M2 on Prenzlauer Allee. Schnittstelle Friseure has been operating here since early 1999, founded by Sascha Boritzki and Jeffrey Herget with the aim of combining international zeitgeist and solid hairdressing craftsmanship. This idea has since grown into two salons, the second located on Bergmannstraße in Kreuzberg. The business operates as an Aveda salon and also works with OWAY, an Italian natural cosmetics line, as well as Wella, which describes their philosophy: naturally looking results rather than visible treatment. Accordingly, the salon describes its self-image as an unpretentious style that suits the individual and not just the current trendy look. Those who come here first have a consultation about hair structure and history, as almost everything depends on this when it comes to color. The clientele is diverse, ranging from neighborhood residents to guests who travel from other districts. The fact that the business has been operating at the same address for more than 25 years is no longer a given at Kollwitzplatz.

Prices by Effort and a Large Blonde Area

Schnittstelle explicitly charges by effort, not by a fixed scheme. Haircut and styling range between 58 and 115 Euros, with separate charges for washing, treatment, and styling, as well as for hair color and tinting. The main focus is on blonde techniques: highlights and painting are listed separately, balayage and ombre cost between 250 and 360 Euros, which already includes haircut, toner or root shading, treatment, and styling. For platinum blonde, the salon provides a range and determines the exact price only during the consultation, as the result heavily depends on what was previously in the hair. If you book a color treatment without a cut, you pay a fixed surcharge for treatment and styling. This system makes the final bill transparent but requires a prior consultation. Bookings are made online via an appointment portal or by phone; gift vouchers are also available. For extensive lightening, you should plan several hours and ideally not choose the day before an important occasion.
