Star hairstyle Udo Walz died. He died at the age of 76.

According to information from BZ, he had been in a Berlin hospital for a few days and had to be treated. In late September it became known that Walz was dependent on a wheelchair. But he continued to work in his salon on the Kurfürstendamm in Berlin.

Something went wrong with a pedicure, but the operation corrected it.

Still, there were concerns. Because: The abnormally high blood sugar level in diabetes can damage blood vessels and nerves. Four years ago, the star hairdresser also underwent bypass surgery on his leg.

More recently, Walz owned five hair salons, the first of which opened on Kurfürstendamm in 1985. Three of them are in Berlin, one in Potsdam and one in Mallorca. In 1974, the entrepreneur expanded and later worked for fashion designers such as Wolfgang Joop, Jil Sander, and Jean Paul Gaultier.
