Herman's Klipjoint
They said in the 70s that unisex salons would never catch on...however the huge success of Herman's Klipjoint inspired other salons to follow our lead and become unisex salons too.

Herman's Klipjoint became one of the most famous salons in Dublin. The great music playing in the salon coupled with the top-class hairstylists brought the 'in-crowd' flocking. Herman's became a regular haunt of actors, musicians, and theatre folk.

Herman's salons are still renowned in Dublin.
