A beauty salon for everyone in Leipzig | DW Documentary

- At the "Grand Beauty" salon in Leipzig, people with a refugee or migrant background work as hairdressers, make-up artists and manicurists on a donation basis, with the goal to uproot prejudices.
Mara Hesse is a freelance make-up artist and anti-racist activist. As a Muslim woman born in Germany, she has experienced discrimination herself time and again. That is why she works as a make-up artist in the "Grand Beauty" salon in Leipzig. Performance artist Frauke Frech founded the salon with the idea to use the body-related services to create encounters and conversations that would otherwise not take place, and to break down prejudices. After all, xenophobia is a problem in Leipzig-Grünau, where the salon is located.

Firstly, Mara (may have misspelled her name) is absolutely stunning. I love this concept of blending women together from different cultures and background, providing opportunities for these aspiring beauticians, and opening people’s perceptions and attitudes. Well done. I wish all of these women well. ❤
Nope! Not from middle east, islamic and Muslim countries. They cant mix with others
Spectacular idea! Most women share a common interest in beauty and beauty has different standards in different cultures. Bringing diverse people together in a relaxed salon environment helps people to get to know someone they wouldn't meet otherwise.
There's a high demand for stylist that know how to work well with African hair. That wasn't in the curriculum when I went to beauty school.
A Muslim wear hijab to cover her beauty.
Thanks, but to be inclusive western liberal democracies don't need to be turning the clock back on women's rights & gender equality by allowing for or accepting 4-7th century thinking, aka religions!
I am from Asia and always thought that European people have developed outlook on life but unfortunately that's not so? Why? People still have prejudices 😔 about skin color, religious 😟. That's nonsense
Prejudices are a state of mind, a negative phenomenon, in this case people live and earn for their own life based on it. Europe's mistake with the arrival of mass migrations is the creation of communities in which predominantly members of the same nation lives together (this creates ghetto communities, and these people unfortunately do not have the opportunity to integrate into society). The world standard is not in that but in wealth, if you are rich you are welcome everywhere, if you are poor there is no place for you even in your own culture, people, religion.
It’s varied, there’s still lots of people who are angry about change.
Well, you're the ones immigrating into Europe. The West is definitely more tolerant than the East. Imagine if 200,000 Europeans moved into your city and started complaining about the locals... You're very hypocritical
@@sayonara5g680Well, that's a false premise because mass immigration is unjustified to begin with. Immigration isn't an inalienable right. It's a civil privilege. Many immigrants seem to be quite naive and / or arrogant
@@demeterontheinternetBecause mass immigration is unjustified. This is why we have immigration policy and borders. They have every right to be upset. Europeans deserve to preserve their ethnic heritage just the same as everyone else! How naive and arrogant can immigrants possibly be...
"Grand Beauty: Breaking Barriers" radiates the warmth of inclusivity and the power of unity. Mara, Frauke, and the team are paving the way for understanding and dismantling prejudices through their creative work. Thank you for sharing this inspiring tale of positive change.
Awesome work 👏
Yaaassss!!!!❤❤❤❤❤. Cultural educación is key!
Exactly!!! They need to open up beauty salons in Afghanistan to culturally educate the establishment there.
I'm an European women in south America and have been told off by various hairdressers for "burning my hair" with a hair straightener 😅 my hair in thin and curly something they are definitely not used to seeing. I have never felt discriminated because of that, sometimes maybe a little frustrated couse I would like to find a baititian that knows how to treat my hair but their luck of knowledge is definitely not a sign of discrimination! 😅
She’s so beautiful and innovative in her thinking
So much respect for these woman's craft and hustle...hope it all goes well for them
Zero respect from me. Their salon is a woman-cave which needs to become inclusive to other genders
Hating or discriminating someone based on their looks is the most ignorance thing one can do. It is good that things like these are discussed and addressed. They affect people daily.
I once went to a barber shop in the Netherlands. While I waited my turn on the bench, one of the barbers looked at my head and smiled. In Arabic, he told his colleague that he is not going to deal with that , referring to my hair. “ it will feel like cutting down a tree, he said. They both had a good laugh. They had no idea that I understood Arabic. They were shocked when I told them in Arabic that I was leaving because they thought my hair was too hard for them.
Well, how is that racism? He doesn't know how to cut your type of hair. People laugh at differences all the time, even among the same race of people, such as "gingers" or "pale"
It's racism because he talked about him behind his back and compared his hair to a tree
ما شاء الله 😂
@@HannHio-kv1ky So what! People make fun of their own in groups too, such as gingers or being pale. Just like I already said! Black people make fun of each other, too. You don't even know what racism is! Most of you are conflating real, deliberate racism with common facetious remarks!
His hair looks like a dense oak tree! 🌳 hahahaha
@@ADUAquascapingyou sound jealous of him
Women has great influences and they talk to their family about their inter action with different cultures, which can defusse recial stereotypes
There are many actual racists in Germany. There are also people which have recognized that core Islamic values are not compatible with European ones. These women seem lovely and well integrated, but take a walk down Neukölln in Berlin and you will see very different cases.
Loved the idea!!! Genius
How does this fight against racism? How does it actually help? 😂😂
Women ☕
Skin care and Hair care is essential to self care. Racism erases and marginalizes the distinction of people who have different physical appearance and aesthetics.
Europeans usually think that muslims live only on government benefits and never work. Here they are at work.
Racism starts with ignorance. These women are providing a space within a common meeting ground for women, where they can become more familiar with those of other races and cultures. People talk at salons, even if one is not yet comfortable engaging, they can listen and find relatable points.
It's a great place to start 😊
Idk but that woman is gorgoeus looks like a doll
Make up is camouflage
So is trolling.
@@iii___iii😂
What a beautiful project!🥰
This is so wholesome....❤
I remember when DW used to make banger documentaries
Now it's just woke documentaries, they gotta keep with the times so no more quality for us. 👍👍
Stay asleep❤
Another propaganda from DW
@@G.D.9I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
@@demeterontheinternet You're entitled to your opinion 👍
I find it really amusing that she is talking about racism, when there are 3 million people of Turkish origin living in Germany, and a total of around 20 million people with foreign background living in Germany. That is 1 in 5 people living in Germany is not of "German" roots. I found Germans very open and friendly. Some people isolate themselves, no matter their origin or religion.
People are not complaining about lack of numbers, they're complaining about the treatment they receive. If you receive different treatment, certainly you will have a different experience. Why do you think you know what kind of treatment everyone else receives? Why do you assume that people isolate themselves willingly?
@@joqqemanIt will never change. People will always be tribalistic and willing to preserve their ethnic heritage. Europeans are actually more tolerant than all of the countries that the immigrants come from. That's the irony. They're being naive to think that everyone is just going to accept mass immigration.
@@joqqemanImagine if they had 2,000,000 immigrants from Europe move to their communities and then complain about the locals. And don't bring up colonialism because that's the past, and only 25,000 Germans lived in their African colonies while millions of Africans currently live in Germany. This is 2023, not 1823.
Christianity is outlawed in several Muslim countries, for example. They are not nearly as tolerant as the West.
London is only 36% native. Should Tokyo become only 36% Japanese?
Of course colonialism is still in the past that's why countries like the dcr don't speak french🙄
@@ADUAquascapingyoure making unrelated nonsensical non arguments and i hope you know it and youre just to trying to justify your beliefs, not because you think youre having a proper discussion
Funny she is using the term 'muslimischer Rassismus' , which is then reworked in English as 'islamophobia'. Racism is against something that a person is born with, like skin color. A belief in islam is a choice. A person is free to abandon that choise anytime they want and turn to a different religious belief.
Would be scary to visit it. lol
The upset in these comments is so sweet. If makeup doesn’t matter and racism doesn’t exist, why are you all so hurt?
As a person from Muslim majority country called Malaysia, I hope west and EU will take their freedom. Muslims should go back to their place. Is this that hard for Muslims. They against freedom but then start begging for freedom. More like give order to west and EU.
Who are they? You are making a baseless generalization
I've always judged a hair dresser's skill by the way her hair looked, can't do that in this saloon can ya? 😂
It's a small enough city to get a good reputation for your work besides a hairdressers hair isn't about their skill but the skill of the person who did their hair. They can also do before and after photos of their work. Clienteles are built by referrals.
Clearly a woman has never felt comfortable enough in front of you. Thanks for letting us all know.
@@demeterontheinternet Are you like commenting on every one of my comments? That's flattering, I guess.. Thanks so much!
Wonderful Project ! I hope other countries will follow💓 👍
Insha Allah! 😊
Expel them
Another racist lurking in the comments
Awe-inspiring
Europe is dying. Get those people out and save yourselves.
There will be no escape from the middle east.
Rather you get a life and realise that the world is multi cultural. Get used to it.
@Daud76 the world is. But tell me if these middle east countries are as open to multiculturalism as Europe
@@dachicagoan8185 exactly
@@dachicagoan8185You know that’s a circular argument, right?
Jesusss Germany is so backwardssssss
That's Leipzig? The Meistermesse city? 😓 I am sure if East Germans had a tiny idea of how their country will be looking today, NO ONE would have been on the streets to demonstrate back in 1989!
Weman 😅
The fatherland is gone
Wonderful!!! I hope that trans women are also welcome 🤞
😂
No such thing
Why aren't you hoping for men to be welcomed into a beauty salon?
@@cantescape4310 I think that would be lovely, but I'm not sure this would be the place and time. I'm just assuming that when cameras are not there, that the Muslim women may remove their hijab to get their hair done, so it's not something they'd likely feel comfortable with. Currently beauty salons are not as commonly frequented by men, so I imagine the immigrant number of men who wish to would be rather low and hopefully there are other salons that would welcome men who are respectful of women. This is just my point of view and I understand there will be others.
So they can assault real women?
This is as Haram as it gets lol
The Hadith is haram
Mara is a babe!
So it is open for LGBTQ also. So islam does accept LGBTQ🤣
💅
Good luck Germany
nice nun costume for halloween lmao, they look clownish af
It’s almost like you made the connection between Abrahamic religions. So close.
Women covered their hair for years - it was mostly practical reasons like fitting on trains when we worked after WWII that we changed in the West.
Illegal Aliens😂😂
political party called islam
Diversity is strength.
it is the total opposite. it is a weakness, only the weak say that cultural diversity is a strength. you are inviting people who disrespect your values into your home. how is that a strenght. the moment there is more Muslim people in any country the country goes to hell. look around and give me example of one normal muslim country. does not exist.
Why do they bother? They cover their bodies from head to toes anyways. 🙄
Clearly you are not the audience. Our condolences.
Makeup is haraam in islam
Another truthful introduction documentary was shared by a magnificent ( DW) documentary channel... documentary about Beauty Salons in Liebzic may be in other cities in Germany 🇩🇪. This phenomenon has temporary passive income for migrated Muslims and massive consequences in the future for both Germans and migrated communities, which increases internal society separating in Germany , increasing political, economy, and religious illusionary,radicalism between migrated peoples and original peoples ..Islamic political movements are hunting desperate ,angry Christians ✝️ and other non Muslim individuals they converting them to Muslim ☪️ individuals.they aiming changing demographically and becoming Supreme religion on Germany 🇩🇪... a simple flames burning 🔥 whole city
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Pretty sure life will be just fine, dear.
Asalamualikum warahmatullah mara😊from England 🇬🇧 😊I want to meet u?

Allah möge euch rechtleiten.
