SCHIELAH
INHOUSE TOP HAIRSTYLIST
Schielah is originally from California, where she started her career at a young age. She was 17 and working at a local skate shop, when a friend introduced her to the idea of beauty school. It seemed fun, so she decided to go for it. She started hairdressing in a salon in California and eventually relocated to New York. She worked with many incredible stylists as well as clients in both locations. She spread her wings again, this time to Amsterdam and joined us at The Window.
She gets a lot of her inspiration from her peers. She loves working with a wide range of diverse individuals. “We all have different strengths and can learn a lot from each other.”
Coming from California she is always drawn to the effortlessly, lived in, sun kissed vibes. But after living in NYC she's also inspired by her experience there, especially when it comes to the grungy punk rock east village style.
When she's not working she's typically trying to be on vacation.
Even if it means staying at home, having a mental vacation by cooking a dish that makes her feel she's someplace she's dreaming of traveling to or simply by being a tourist in her own city.

ROMY
Inhouse top hairstylist
Romy has been inspired to become a hairstylist for as long as she can remember. As a young girl, she was never satisfied with the way her hair was done in her hometown, and always believed that she could do a better job. At the age of 13, she already knew what career path she was going to take and has never regretted her decision since.
Romy has been part of the Window team for years now, and her main motivator is the creativity that she can apply to her work every day. No day is the same and every client is different, which makes it possible for Romy to be inspired every day. She loves working with people and doing her best to find an individual approach to everyone. She loves taking the time to listen and give advice to ensure that the client leaves feeling happy, beautiful, and secure with his or her look.
Romy’s creativity doesn’t end there: she loves finding new interior design ideas which she applies to her beautiful home, as well being a big fashion enthusiast, and she even paints!

Damla
freelance hairstylist
Damla started her career as an English teacher, but later realized that she was missing creativity in life. After taking time to connect with her inner self, she realized that hairdressing was her true calling. She put all her thoughts and effort into her goal and went to study while working, and assisting part time. She joined the Window as the first ever assistant and it was an instant click!
Damla worked hard and grew from assistant to a top hairstylist and colorist. She kept learning and growing and decided to spread her wings and explore. She soon got back at the Window as it felt like home. She eventually evolved into a freelance entrepreneur at The Window.
Damla’s style isn’t about perfection, but about personality and character. She loves creating organic looks, and highlight what is already naturally beautiful in her clients. She loves literature, film, and fashion, and that is where she finds inspiration for her work.

This is the best hair salon experience I have ever had. Damla has done a great work on transforming my hair color to a smooth ligher tone balayage transition. I was worried that it is not possible because of my natural really dark hair. Melchi cut and styled my hair which is amazing. They are friendly, give trustworthy recommendation for your hair style and the salon gives a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Nice coffee on arrival! Damla was great with my brief, I showed her some pictures of hair colour and she got it spot on. She blow dried it really well and curled it! Above and beyond, thank you!

VINCENT
freelance hairstylist
Vincent wasn't always sure what he wanted to do for a living, it wasn't until his older brother started with hairdressing that he decided to give it a try. Once he started working in a salon he fell in love with it right away. The combination of being creative and working with people always has been something he loved, so working in the hair industry was the perfect fit.
As a creative being Vincent's passion is to embrace his creativity, look for new styles, ideas and techniques. He gets his inspiration from music, sub-cultures and art. He loves being surrounded by like-minded people and get's motivated by his creative and talented friends.
Besides doing hair you can find him in the kitchen cooking delicious meals or travelling solo, exploring different places around the world.

Vincent was lovely and listened to what I wanted and gave good advice. I loved that I asked for very little to be trimmed and he did exactly that. He did a beautiful job and is so great to talk to.

I had an amazing time at The Window! I went for a full tranformation (from super long hair to pixie cut) and I couldn't have been in better hands. Very professional and comforting :)
