For many people who had to spend fourteen days quarantined in a hotel room, a trip to the hairdresser becomes less of a ‘treat yourself pamper day’ and more like a necessity. All that time spent indoors without a window that cracks open, eating waimai, putting up with slow WiFi while the kids do e-learning and you try to stream a home workout video takes a major toll on a person, both mentally and physically.
Dymling’s fresh out of quarantine ‘before’ look
Beijing-based expat mom, Mimmie Dymling, visited Laurent Falcon after spending two full weeks in hotel quarantine with her kids. Although still beautiful, the mom of three from Sweden was definitely ready for a fresh cut to launch her into Beijing’s beautiful spring season.
Stylist Felix at work
Strolling into Laurent Falcon with a headband on, Dymling’s short pixie looked as if it indeed needed some love and tender care from a professional. Felix from Laurent Falcon is one of the stylists that expats in Beijing adore. His attention to detail and years of experience with different textures of hair has made him one of our favorites when it comes to a fabulous cut and color.
Following a trim to refresh Dymling’s pixie cut that perfectly frames her face, Felix adds a touch of that springtime vibe to her beautiful blonde locks with some highlights.
A few hours later, a day of self-pampering at Laurent Falcon has this Beijing mom looking like a rock star, ready to take on the world. Looking stunning with her new hair, Dymling shows off her new look at Taikoo Li. Finally out and free, Dymling is ready to take her family out and about and enjoy the most beautiful time in the city.
Freedom has never looked so cool
During this COVID-19 period, Laurent Falcon maintains a strict sanitation standard and each person entering the salon must have his or her temperature checked at the door. The salon’s staff wears masks at all times and it’s recommended that customers only remove masks during their haircut. Aside from the new sanitation restrictions in place, Laurent Falcon continues to be a place of pampering, serving up fresh coffee and cocktails as you relax and unwind.
