Impulses

Impulses inspired by Susanne Kehrbusch

Impulses are small, clear inputs for people who want to understand their hair and their presence rather than simply correct them. They are based on the colour work of Susanne Kehrbusch and the presence medicine of Dr. Volker Mann — and on twenty years of experience at the chair.

Perception comes before change

Most of us reach for a solution before we have truly looked at what is. In presence medicine, Dr. Volker Mann describes something that changed my work fundamentally: nothing can genuinely change as long as it has not been honestly perceived. So every impulse starts with a moment of stillness. How does your scalp feel today? Where is your hair strong, where is it asking for something? What does your reflection actually tell you — beyond habit and beyond the pictures we compare ourselves to?

This perception is not an exercise for its own sake. It is the foundation on which every good decision about colour, care and cut is built. When you know what is, you stop fighting your hair and start working with it.

Colour as expression, not correction

Susanne Kehrbusch looks at colour in a way that has little to do with covering or changing. Colour is an expression of your nature: your skin tone, your eyes, the light you live in, the energy you carry. A colour that fits does not make you someone else — it makes you more recognisably yourself.

In an impulse session we look at your natural base and your greys without judgement, at the tones that genuinely carry your complexion, and at how much change and upkeep you truly want in your everyday life. Sometimes the result is a new shade. Sometimes it is the decision to let things grow out gently — and that, too, is a colour decision.

Health is not a compromise

Healthy hair is not a luxury; it is the precondition for everything else. That is why health stands first in every impulse: what is your scalp reacting to, what does your hair structure need, what role do stress, nutrition, water and your care routine play? I explain the differences between chemical and plant-based colour in plain language and, if you wish, accompany your switch step by step — gently, without pressure, at your pace.

You receive brand-independent suggestions rather than a sales pitch. If a product genuinely helps, I will tell you which one and why. And if you would rather make something yourself, I show you how — as a calm fallback for everyday life.

Impulses for everyday life

Big programmes rarely survive real life. Small, portable steps do: a care rhythm that fits your week, two or three strokes with the right brush, a way of drying your hair that respects its structure. After our session you hold a clear, written plan — for the salon with your hairdresser on site, or for yourself at home.

An impulse is not a treatment you consume. It is a way of seeing that stays with you — and that you can return to whenever your hair, your skin or your sense of self asks for it.
