Best Trendy Haircut:
Rauðhetta og Úlfurinn
According to salon manager Sandra
Olgeirsdóttir, being the best at trendy
haircuts is all about practice and this
salon has been doing that for the last
17 years. In addition to offering clients
magazines and massages, she says
they always try to figure out what type
of person he or she is, and what style
might best suit them. Rauðhetta og
úlfurinn in particular draws inspiration
from a variety of sources. Each year,
members of the staff travel abroad to
look for new ideas. For Sandra, watch-
ing old movies is also an effective
brainstorming strategy.
Above all else, she says the key
to managing a great salon is (mostly)
about one thing. “Service is number
one, two, and three. And also good
coffee!” she quips. “We’re not afraid
to give the haircuts that clients ask for,
no matter what it is,” she says. “That’s
how you get the experience.”
Ultimately, when it comes to serv-
ing up the trendiest cuts, she says
thinking ahead and focusing outward
is of the utmost importance. The hip
haircut when we pull together the
2015 Best Of guide? According to San-
dra, it’s likely to move on from a mid-
length cut to a longer ‘do. Until then,
head over to Rauðhetta og úlfurinn,
get your souvenir haircut, and enjoy
the rest of our Best Of 2014 picks in
style.
It’s no secret that Icelanders take their hair very seriously.
For years, Rauðhetta og úlfurinn has been the go-to spot for
Icelanders looking to sport a fresh cut. As four-time winners
of our annual ‘Best Place To Get A Trendy Haircut’ award, it’s
clear that the experts at the Skólavörðustígur studio know
how to chop some locks.
