The change of seasons is the perfect time for something new. New energy, a fresh perspective and, for those who dare, a different form of expression. At KURO, hair is never just about styling. It’s about feeling, character and long-lasting quality. Whether you’re coming in for a signature color treatment, a breezy cut or a scalp detox, we approach hair with craftsmanship and intuition.

With years of experience in editorial work and shows, including the spectacular show by Viktor & Rolf and covers for Numéro and ELLE Netherlands, Wiardi Koopmeiners is now joining the KURO Rotterdam team as a new hairstylist on Fridays.

At KURO, we master every cutting technique, but we also dare to stray from the beaten path. We do not cut by the book, but by what suits you. We look beyond your face.

From the catwalk, from the streets, and from the way you walk in. Because style does not start with rules, it starts with character.

At KURO, it's all about healthy hair and a healthy scalp. A radiant color is beautiful, but only if your hair does not suffer from it.

The toner is a good example of that. It is a subtle coloring that refines your hair color without putting it under stress again. In fact, in many cases, a toner helps restore balance after an intensive coloring treatment.
