Glenn is available from Wednesday to Saturday.

Glenn has already had a turbulent ‘hairlife’ behind him. After he was given the opportunity to start Headquarters in January 2001, he was quickly asked to do editorial work. His first assignment was a beauty shoot for the Dutch ELLE. This tasted like more, and he got a taste for hairstyling. He was asked to set up trend collections for Keune, but after working for them with great pleasure for 3 years, it was time for something new.

Glenn became an educator at Bumble & Bumble. There he was taken to Paris fashion week to assist in the team of Laurent Phillippon. This experience caused a change in his working method. He realized that fashion is inextricably linked to hair fashion. He was also Art Director at Oolaboo, where he launched the brand on the market with his artistic vision.

Glenn is a jack of all trades, because in addition to all these activities, he started the hair school WE-R Agency in 2013 together with Dennis Rombout, where he can indulge his passion for teaching. Nowadays Glenn works as an educator for Goldwell and is chef de cabin of various shows during Mercedes Benz Amsterdam fashion week.

Edwin is present on Friday and Saturday.

As a child, Edwin went to the hairdresser every week. When he started further education, Edwin thought, it seems like fun to cut hair myself, so he did it. And from day 1 he knew that this is what I have to do.

After having been to a hairdressing competition once, he also wanted to participate, he was in the national team and won one cup after the other. Caught by the virus!
And then you are asked to provide training, for years he has been working with and for Kms, first as a freelancer but now for 6 years as a master educator Benelux, he also tests KMS products and works internationally on training courses, shows, etc. Education is his passion and has also obtained his teacher’s diploma for this, you never know.

As a national educator for KMS Benelux, Edwin is always up to date with the latest trends.

With this knowledge and his love for the profession, Edwin can give you the best advice.

He has made the choice to sell his salon in Den Bosch and delight the customers of Headquarters with his skills.

Mikka is available from Wednesday through Saturday.
Since moving from South Africa to the Netherlands, Mikka has brought her unique approach to cutting, focusing on visualizing shapes, to her work at Headquarters.

Mikka draws inspiration from current trends in her young, trendy circle and approaches each cut with a vision. She is currently exploring a more classical approach to the craft, allowing her to deepen her understanding of hair styling techniques. This results in a haircut that receives thoughtful attention and offers a fresh perspective on your hair.

When it comes to coloring, she uses her own approach, combined with her expertise as a master colorist trained by Goldwell.
Mikka is also trained to perform scalp checks and is happy to provide advice on how to better care for your scalp.

Nick is available from Tuesday through Saturday.

When Nick began his journey in hairdressing 18 years ago, he didn’t yet realize how well-founded his passion for the craft was.

Over the years, he has gained extensive experience and knowledge by immersing himself in as many aspects of the profession and salons as possible. This has resulted in a broad spectrum of expertise in both cutting and coloring, enabling him to fulfill almost any client’s wish.

Nick has also trained for brands like Authentic Beauty Concept and Oribe, where he could fully express his creativity in styling.

He is also deeply committed to helping people with scalp issues. Having struggled with scalp issues himself, he wanted to learn more to help others facing similar challenges and has since dedicated himself to this area. By using La Biosthetique products, he can make a significant difference in this field..
