Kapsalon Hair

What Kapsalon Hair does

Kapsalon Hair is a family-owned hair salon operating from a single location at Sudermanstraat 2b in central Antwerp, Belgium, near the Groenplaats and Melkmarkt. Founded in 1978 by Luc and Anita, the business has been operated continuously by the family for over 45 years; their daughter Jona joined in 2016 and earned the L'Oréal 'STAR COLORISTE' certification. The salon employs 13 staff and serves individual consumers through appointment-only bookings scheduled online via the OPTIOS platform or by direct contact.

The salon offers a comprehensive service menu segmented by customer type: women's services (cuts, coloring, highlights, brushing, updos), men's services (clipper cuts, beard trimming), children's services (ages up to 12 with 20% discount), and student services (up to age 18 with 10% discount). Core technical capabilities center on professional hair coloring using L'Oréal Professionnel product lines (Majirel, Inoa, Dia Color, Tecni Art), premium hair treatments using Kérastase and Olaplex (including Olaplex Cure at €45 and maintenance at €25), and Mason Pearson premium brush retail. Ancillary services include eyebrow threading (€15) and special-occasion updos. Pricing is transparent and published on the website, with all-in rates and surcharges for long hair or extra styling.

The business model is direct-to-consumer, transaction-based service revenue with no subscription, membership, or product-line e-commerce. Revenue is generated exclusively from in-salon service fees, supplemented by retail of premium partner products (Kérastase Aura Botanica and Elixir Ultime, Mason Pearson brushes, Divaderme brow kits). Marketing relies on the company website (including a blog-style inspirations section) and a Facebook page for promotions. Operating hours are limited (closed Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday), and the salon is currently preparing for a temporary leadership transition as Jona begins maternity leave on 10/08/26.
