The new hair salon Kleine Kopfgärtnerei” celebrates its opening in Machtlos!

Something is happening in the small community of Machtlos, in the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district! Silke Schade has opened a valuable oasis for hairstyles with a lot of heart - the “Kleine Kopfgärtnerei”. The salon will officially open its doors on October 1, 2025, and numerous curious people have already gathered to take a look at the stylish interior. The 18 square meter room, located in her in-laws' house, is designed so that customers can immediately feel at home. Rustic wooden display cases, a semi-circular reception desk and spacious leather armchairs invite you to linger. In addition, there are no intrusive clocks or calendars so that customers can relax in peace.

“I hope many of my former customers from Rotenburg, Ronshausen and Weiterode find their way to me,” said the master hairdresser full of confidence. Schade has a family connection to the hairdressing profession, as her grandmother also practiced this profession. With extensive knowledge of color and hairstyling techniques, she responds to the individual wishes of her customers and also wants to take into account the older people in the area who can go to the hairdresser without outside help. The Kassel Chamber of Crafts confirms that there are exceptions to the craft regulations which, under certain conditions, make it possible to work independently without a master's certificate, which applies to Schade. She previously managed a hairdressing branch independently, which was approved as an exception.

Requirements for starting a hairdresser

Opening a hairdressing salon like the “Kleine Kopfgärtnerei” brings with it a number of challenges. The basic requirements include a solid business concept, a suitable location and sufficient equity capital. A thorough market and competition analysis should also be on the agenda. According to specialist literature, earning potential for self-employed master hairdressers is between 1,500 and 3,500 euros net per month and depends heavily on the size of the salon and the target group. “The business is kept alive by a welcoming atmosphere and competent advice,” is a well-known saying in the industry. The question of which legal hurdles need to be overcome is answered by the craft regulations, which normally require a master craftsman's certificate, but also have certain exceptions.

Schade is aware of her responsibility and ensures that the high-quality work in her salon is not only a trademark, but also a promise to her customers. The collaboration with the authorities has gone smoothly so far, and the requirements for her salon have been minimal - a stroke of luck that is not to be taken for granted.

Future outlook for the “Kleine Kopfgärtnerei”

With a clear focus on personal customer loyalty and a pleasant atmosphere, Schade hopes to attract a loyal clientele. You could say that the salon, like the scent of a blooming nursery, represents individuality and freshness. There are also offers that go beyond just hair styling - think of possible other cosmetic treatments. A well-planned online presence could also be an incentive for new customers in the future who are still looking for a suitable hairdresser.

Silke Schade is not only an experienced hairdresser, but also an entrepreneur who knows how to combine these two roles. She has the right feel for her customers' needs and relies entirely on personal contact. Your “Little Head Gardener” is therefore not just a hairdressing salon, but also a place of relaxation and well-being.

So we can be curious to see what trendy hairstyles will emerge from the “Little Head Gardener” in the next few months. The team and the community are looking forward to the official opening. Get your scissors ready, Cologne is watching!
