How many times do you go to the same hair salon and wonder what it would be like if you tried somewhere else? Hair styling can be such a personal experience that what suits one person may not work for another.  Whilst the quality of the cut is paramount, there are numerous other factors that also come into play: How much does it cost? How friendly is your stylist? Does he/she listen to your needs? What kind of ambience is there in the salon (how loud is the music)? Which products are used? And what additional comforts are provided, such as massage chairs and complementary drinks? Indeed, the list is endless! When you start to think more closely about it you’ll begin to wonder why you never looked elsewhere before!

One salon that prides itself on its personal touch and which has been serving the local community in Geneva for many years now is Extra Coiffure. Conveniently located on the Rue Lissignol, just round the corner from Manor, Extra Coiffure is run by the highly experienced team, Dominique and Jeanine Kohli.

Tastefully decorated according to the feng shui concept, the Extra Coiffure salon has been designed to ensure the maximum well-being and comfort for its clients – a real home from home. Bright and cheerful colors, combined with abundant light, contribute towards an uplifting ambiance, where clients can expect a warm, friendly welcome, including the kids!

Using Wella and KMS products, the salon offers the full range of services including cut and blow dry, highlights, traditional coloring, and organic coloring. Prices range depending on the experience of the stylist cutting your hair, and there is a 20% discount for students. Click here to see the full price list.

Having worked for several years with Vidal Sassoon, Dominique has become a master of “precision cutting”, but has also added his own art of “listening and dialogue”. Dominique told knowitall.ch, “Each client who enters our salon has different needs so it is absolutely essential to speak to them to understand their wishes. I will always consider the shape of their face, their features and the quality of their hair before proposing a new style that can be recreated easily in their own home.”

Jeanine, on the other hand, is the master of “coloring”, an art that she has enhanced through several Vidal Sassoon courses in London as well as Wella courses in Switzerland. She told knowitall.ch, “I thoroughly enjoy using the techniques I have developed to create the perfect hair color match for a person’s skin tone.  However, as a person ages, no amount of coloring will provide the perfect match, at which point I will not hesitate to recommend the “white hair” look.  My experiences in helping clients to go white has enhanced my conviction that white hair can actually make women look younger and can be very chic!”

Numerous languages are spoken at the salon, including English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese, so clients can feel totally confident that the staff have understood their needs.   In addition to Dominique and Jeanine, there are 2 additional stylists and 1 esthetician, who between them have years of professional experience and training. Manicures and pedicures using professional OPI products provide the perfect complement to Extra Coiffure’s hair styling business, with many clients requiring the “full service”!

Additional features such as “à la carte” coffee or tea, massage chairs in the shampoo area, and a great choice of background music to suit everyone’s moods, are just some of the personal touches that Dominique and Jeanine have added to make their clients’ appointment at their salon a totally relaxing experience, one that they are likely to recommend to their friends.
