HARLEM — Dominik Mager wanted something new.
After nearly a decade of working in high-end salons and five star hotels across Europe, Mager, a German native, left to test his styling chops in America.
“I achieved a lot in Europe and I had many customers but it was too easy and I needed something different,” he said.
While in Europe, Mager, 33, worked as the personal hairstylist of Caroline Scheufele, the owner of Chopard, a multimillion dollar high-end European jewelry company.
In the U.S., Mager worked as a freelance stylist and, through Scheufele, continued to doll up celebrity clients for red carpet events such as the Cannes Film Festival, the Elton John White Tie and Tiara Ball and the Academy Awards, among others.
The Club by Dominik Mager is a chic salon on the corner of 122nd Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard.
The bar area, where clients will be served wine, coffee or water while they wait.
Mager aimed for a something more akin to a European lounge than a typical salon, where a client can relax at a bar in the back with a complimentary glass of wine, flavored water or a cup of coffee.
“It’s called 'The Club' because we want it to be as social as possible,” he said. “I want it to be that cool place you can come to.”
