Autism friendly hair salon?
I'm tired of looking like a rabid raccoon, but I'm also scared shitless of going to a hair salon. Been cutting my own hair for years, I'm starting to look crazed.
Can anyone recommend a hair sa… Hey,
I'm tired of looking like a rabid raccoon, but I'm also scared shitless of going to a hair salon. Been cutting my own hair for years, I'm starting to look crazed.
Can anyone recommend a hair salon that is autism friendly? (I'm a wöman, btw)
I'm looking for a salon that isn't sterile looking and bright as heck, with friendly barbers that are okay with awkward freaked out folk. I don't want anxiety inducing small talk either.
I don't care where in Berlin, someone will drive my autistic ass, so it's okay.
Hope it's okay I asked here.
Cheers.
If you're in Neukölln, try Haarstudio Romy on Weserstraße. It's a small, warm space with muted lighting and they're used to clients who want to keep conversation minimal. You can book online and just write in the notes that you'd prefer a quiet appointment, they're really good about that. Prices are around 40-50 euros for a cut.
I'd check out Friseur am Kollwitzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg. It's a bit old-school but they have these soft, warm lamps and the room is painted a calm green, so it doesn't feel like a doctor's office. The stylists there are used to people who don't want to chat, you can just say "no talking" and they'll nod and get to work. A cut is around 50 euros, and you can book through their website without calling.
For something a bit different, try Salon Monika in Friedrichshain near Boxhagener Platz. It's a tiny place with warm wood tones and soft lamps, not that harsh clinic vibe you'd hate. Monika herself is pretty quiet and will just ask what you want done, then get on with it. A cut there runs about 35 to 45 euros, and you can just text her on Instagram to book without any phone call stress.
What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
