jatta! hair and make-up

A salon on the Schipfe with a bridal menu

jatta! hair and make-up is a hair and makeup salon at Schipfe 45 in Zürich, run by its owner Jamila Attia Aregger, who has had her own salon since 2005. Its bridal page, headed «Alles für die Braut» (everything for the bride), publishes 3 starting prices that each include a trial, offers a free 30-minute consultation, and says the team will come to a place of the bride's choice for the styling. For a bride marrying in Zürich who wants to know the cost before she books, and who may want to be styled where she is getting ready, that covers the essentials.

The homepage welcomes clients to the world of hair and makeup and lists what the salon does: new hairstyles, facial and scalp care, and makeup, with stylists who advise clients and aim to make their appearance right for any occasion.

The bridal prices

The bridal page lists prices in CHF:

• Bridal hairstyle from CHF 360, including 1 trial hairstyle
• Bridal hairstyle and makeup from CHF 720, including 1 trial run
• Bridal makeup from CHF 360, including 1 trial makeup
• Styling away from the salon on request, with an individual quote
• Consultation of 30 minutes, free of charge

All 3 bridal prices are starting prices ("ab"), so the final quote depends on the look. The free consultation is a sensible first step, and for a bride planning from abroad it can be combined with a visit to Zürich.

On location, by the hour or for the day

The bridal page says the team will come to a specific place of the bride's choosing for her styling if she wishes, and that the team can be booked by the hour or for the whole day. Styling away from the salon is quoted individually. The page does not name hotels or venues specifically, and it does not publish a travel charge, so the quote should state both the travel cost and how long the team stays.

The homepage adds a practical note: because the team also works on styling jobs outside the salon, the opening hours can vary, and clients are asked to book an appointment.

The team

The homepage introduces 3 stylists with their specialties.

• Jamila Attia Aregger, owner, with her own salon since 2005: women, men, hair growth treatment, facial treatment with natural oils, curls, head massage, highlights, extensions and makeup. She lists work at Fashion Week Paris for Mr. Smith in 2019.
• Martina Schürmann: women, men, balayage, ombré, extensions, updos (Hochstecken), highlights, head massage and makeup.
• Svenja Hildebrandt: makeup, bridal styling, balayage, hair growth treatment, manicure, facial treatment with natural oils, highlights and coloration.

Svenja is the one whose list names bridal styling directly, and Martina lists updos, so a bride who wants to know who will do her hair and who her makeup can ask for them by name.

Products and the shop

The salon runs an online shop of natural, vegan and sustainable products from brands it says it loves. The homepage highlights Manucurist Green nail polish, which the salon describes as a clean alternative to conventional polish, 9-free, vegan and cruelty-free, with formulas of up to 84% ingredients of natural origin; Oden, a French natural cosmetics line for face, body and hair made from cold-pressed organic oils, and YELASAY, natural hair growth products from Switzerland, which the salon combines with Ayurvedic massages. For Oden, the salon offers a skin-type consultation and a facial treatment with the natural products, which a bride could book in the weeks before the wedding. These are the salon's own descriptions of the products it sells; a bride with sensitive skin should ask which products will be used for her makeup.

Photo shoots and references

The site's menu goes beyond the salon chair: it has sections for references, a video, photo shoots and collaborations, and the bridal page carries its own references and video sections. The owner's fashion week credit and the photo shoot section show that the team's work extends to fashion and photo jobs, which is useful context for a bride who cares how her makeup reads in photographs. The inquiry form on the homepage asks for name, phone and email and offers choices such as cut, coloration, highlights and balayage, with a free comment field for anything else, which is where a wedding inquiry fits.

Recognition

The homepage says the salon is among the 10 best hairdressers in the city of Zürich and quotes a client who writes that the stylists at the Schipfe salon are masters of their trade, that her highlights looked natural for years, and that the switch back to her natural dark blond went perfectly. The page does not name the publication behind the ranking.

Hours and contact

The salon is closed on Monday. It is open Tuesday 9 to 20, Wednesday 9 to 12, Thursday 9 to 16, Friday 9 to 19 and Saturday 9 to 18, with the caveat that the hours can vary because of work outside the salon. Contact is by phone on +41 43 497 39 30, by email at info@jatta.ch, or through the inquiry form on the website.

What the site does not settle

The site is written in German, addressing clients formally, and does not say whether the team works in English. It does not say whether the team can also style the bridesmaids, mothers or guests, or at what rate; the bridal page only prices the bride. It does not state a travel charge, a lead time for booking, or when the trial should take place. It does not say how many stylists come for an on-location booking. A couple planning from abroad should ask each of these in the first message, together with the wedding date.

Who it suits

jatta! suits a bride marrying in Zürich who wants published starting prices with a trial included, a free first consultation, and the option of being styled at her own location or having the team stay for the whole day. The combined hair and makeup price makes budgeting simple for the bride herself.

The caveats are the gaps around the rest of the bridal party, the unpublished travel cost, and a German-only site. A couple should ask for a written quote that covers the bride, anyone else to be styled, the place, the hours and the travel.
