The 6th of December at 11am, join the opening of Pia’s Haarstübli in Räterschen!
More Than a Hair Salon
A living room for creativity, wellbeing, coffee breaks, and meaningful encounters. When you walk into Pia’s Haarstübli, you step into a space designed for comfort, calm, and connection.
A place for time
Here, time is something you are offered. Time to relax, to breathe, and to enjoy your hair being done. Time to work quietly, perhaps a few hours on your laptop in peace. Time for meeting people, to enjoy a good coffee or a small bite, and to pause from the world outside.
In the center of Räterschen
Right next to the train station in Räterschen, whether you arrive by train, bus, car, bike, or even motorcycle, the studio is easy to reach, woven into the village, part of everyday life, familiar and welcoming.
All the Heart Could Ask For
A place where you can be welcomed, enjoy something to drink or eat, work if you want to, or simply exhale and let yourself be cared for. The spirit of Pia’s Haarstübli is a studio that feels like a living room: warm, human, creative!
Who is Pia?
I’m Pia, and since December 2024 I have lived in Räterschen/Elsau with my partner Marc and my two sons, Jerome and Kian. In July 2025, our family became complete with our dog, Hope.
I was born and raised in Davos, the daughter of farmers. I quickly learned that the agricultural life was not meant for me—yet I loved spending time near my parents and especially near the animals. It was a space where I always felt safe and comfortable.
My fascination with hair began early. My mother cut my hair—a dream, because I could always share my ideas with her. She was a trained cosmetician, not a hairdresser, but she still shaped my look. At some point, her skills could not match my growing creative wishes, so I asked for a special gift: a visit to a “real” hairdresser to celebrate passing my school entrance exam.That was the moment everything changed. It opened a new door to experimenting with style—something that calmed down over time but never truly left me.
School theory exhausted me. Learning subjects I had zero interest in would have taken too long. I needed to pull the emergency brake and find a path that was real for me.
Davos is full of hair salons, but only one interested me. Unfortunately, they could not train apprentices at the time, and leaving my hometown felt too complicated. So I turned to my second interest—gastronomy—and found an apprenticeship there. It lasted a short time. Working as a chambermaid and ironing mountains of fabric napkins? Not a dream. I needed to escape immediately.
So I took the first available hairdressing apprenticeship in Davos and started that same year. It was a classic salon full of perms, rollers, and manicures. I learned a lot there, and I became a master at washing hair and manicuring nails. The older ladies loved spending time with me, sharing stories of their lives while I cared for them. But something was missing—creativity.
Then fate stepped in. My favorite salon in Davos finally gained a licensed instructor. Driven by my intuition (my parents would say: “head first through the wall”), I switched—same profession, new place.The new instructor happened to be the hairdresser my best friend and I spent nearly every free minute with in our school days.The atmosphere there was exactly what I value: warm, personal, like family.
At Kopp’s Coiffure in Davos—well known even far beyond the village—I completed my apprenticeship successfully. Naturally, as soon as I finished, I needed new experiences. I explored clothing retail, seasonal service work, and even completed a CAS program in goldsmithing in April 2024.
During my 3½-year period as a full-time mom, I cycled through phases of sewing children’s pants and hats, crocheting, and baking delicate desserts. Whatever I do must be creative and hands-on.
But one thing never changed: My love for hair. Hair is endlessly versatile. Its texture fascinates me, its colors transform, and a good cut frames a face in a way that feels true to the person wearing it.
A Living Room, Not a Salon
Pia’s Haarstübli is meant to be a place you genuinely enjoy spending time in. A warm, welcoming space—like a living room: your Stübli:
A place to relax.
A place to breathe.
A place to be yourself.
