Pempelfort Style & Beauty Revives the Advent Spirit!
As of: November 26, 2024, 7:00 a.m. – By: Michael Koll
Ah, the Advent bazaar! It’s like the hairdressers of Werdohl were saying, “Why should only our hairstyles shine this Christmas? Let’s deck the halls… and the hair salon!” After a year-long hiatus, the Pempelfort Style & Beauty salon—yes, that’s right, the former Evelynes Haarmoden—has returned to bring a little festive flair into our lives! Customers had practically been knocking the door down, demanding the shiny decorations they’d become so accustomed to. Angelika Schuntermann reports, “We simply had to bring it back!”
A Crafty Comeback
But hold onto your scissors, folks! These hairdressers have been busier than a barber on a Saturday! For the past four weeks, they’ve transformed their scheduled snips and trims into a crafting fiesta. Let’s just say, if glitter was a renewable resource, they’d put all eco-friendly initiatives to shame!
They rolled up their sleeves and fired up the craft supplies—every evening, every weekend—creating decorative arrangements that make children’s Christmas lists look positively amateur. The salon was bursting with artistic flair: green, gold, and silver, a festoon of fairy lights, and if you squinted, you could almost see Santa’s reindeer embedded in a particularly elaborate centerpiece!
The Birth of a New Tradition
Now, the story of the Advent bazaar is as heartwarming as a cup of mulled wine. Remember those grim days of pandemic panic when Christmas markets were as nonexistent as good wifi in the countryside? Well, out of that chaos, this magnificent bazaar was born—a gleaming beacon of creativity in the post-Corona landscape, making its debut back in autumn 2021. “We did the first one then, and while we skipped last year, this time, we’re back with a vengeance!”
Crafting for a Cause
So what happens to all that crafty goodness? Well, it’s not just another pretty piece to hang on a wall; it’s all for a purpose! The proceeds will fund a luxurious company trip to the sun-kissed shores of Mallorca in October 2025! You can picture it now: a bunch of hairdressers in flip-flops, with their tans meticulously crafted to perfection…they might even forget where they put their scissors!
The overwhelming success on Saturday made it clear—”This bazaar is going nowhere!” The customers won’t let it die, and really, who can blame them? The fourth edition of this fantastic holiday tradition is practically a guarantee. With this much enthusiasm, they might just need to hire security to keep the crowds in check for next year.
Conclusion
So, my dear readers, next time you’re making plans for your holiday shopping, remember that even your local hair salon can become a treasure trove of tinsel and creativity. And who knows? Maybe you’ll find that perfect decorative item to make your Christmas tree look better than your auntie’s! But let’s be honest—it’s all an excuse to support local business, have a laugh, and if we’re lucky, catch those hairdressers at their accidental comedy shows as they try to juggle craft supplies and festive spirit!

After a year-long hiatus, the beloved Advent bazaar is making a joyful return to the Pempelfort Style & Beauty salon. Customers have persistently expressed their desire for the event, according to salon owner Angelika Schuntermann. In preparation, the talented hairdressers have devoted over the last four weeks to creating unique crafts.
Werdohl – Last year, the salon opted out of hosting its popular bazaar, but this decision did not align with the wishes of their loyal clientele. Throughout the past few months, patrons have consistently inquired about the potential for another Advent bazaar in 2024, as reported by Angelika Schuntermann. In response, she and three dedicated colleagues eagerly launched into creative preparations: “We’ve been crafting for the past four weeks,” she remarked. “Every evening and also on weekends,” she added, highlighting their commitment.
The end result showcases an impressive assortment of artistic arrangements, imaginative pre-Christmas decorations, Secret Santa gifts, and eye-catching jewelry. The entire hair salon was transformed into a festive wonderland on Saturday, bursting with the splendid creations of their hard work. The dominant colors of green, gold, and silver harmonized beautifully, while twinkling fairy lights added a magical touch to the atmosphere.
The inspiration for this unique salon bazaar emerged as a response to the cancellation of Christmas markets during the pandemic. “At the end of the Corona period, we held the first one,” Schuntermann recalls nostalgically, referring to its inaugural event in autumn 2021. A second successful bazaar followed a year later, but they chose to take a break last year due to complications.
The hard work of the four hairdressers resulted in a collection of individual and creatively designed pieces that have resonated exceedingly well with the community. In recognition of their efforts, they will channel the proceeds from the bazaar into financing a company trip already planned for October 2025, where the team will bask in the sun in Mallorca. Given the overwhelmingly positive feedback received this past Saturday, it’s clear that customers are eager for this bazaar to continue, making the fourth edition an absolute certainty in the future.
