According to information from the daily Bild, star hairdresser Udo Walz has passed away. Her husband Carsten Thamm said: “Udo fell asleep peacefully at 12 o’clock.” According to this, Walz suffered a diabetes shock two weeks ago and then fell into a coma. He died on Friday afternoon.

Walz suffered from diabetes for about 30 years. It has been known since late September that Walz has been dependent on a wheelchair since undergoing foot surgery. He ran his largest hairdressing salon on Kurfürstendamm.

On her 75th birthday a year ago, Walz said she wanted to be in the classroom every day, even if she was in a wheelchair. “Employees like that and customers like it when I’m here, too.” The great success never went to her head, although she had washed the heads of several prominent clients, from Marlene Dietrich to Angela Merkel.

Its customers come from all over Germany and also from Austria or Switzerland. More recently, however, he limited himself to advising and cut his 65 employees. He has published five books with many tips acquired with experience.

Young candidates were not lacking, he did not share the concerns of many colleagues who are looking in vain for apprentices: “I could open an exchange.” It was clear to me that many use the good name “Udo Walz” as a springboard.

He considered himself lucky to be able to say, “My job is my hobby.” Best of all for him has always been the before and after effect: “When an ugly duckling has turned into a beautiful swan.” Heard the word star hairdresser, it is true that I am not happy at all. “That offends me because it seems to just do the hair of stars.” Every head was important to him.

Nonetheless, he was interested in fashion developments, and appeared on the Michalsky Show at Fashion Week a year ago. In the past, she would have been particularly interested in Karl Lagerfeld shows because hairstyles always played a special role. “The hair and the clothes were basically a composition.” As long as possible, she wanted to continue working on her profession and also publicize it, she said on her 75th birthday.

Just a few days ago, Walz wrote a guest article for the Tagesspiegel on the challenge of the crown crisis. “But in the end everything turns out very different, regardless of how we imagine the future today,” Walz said. The last few sentences have been viewed in a slightly different light since Friday’s certainty: “No one really saw this time with the pandemic beforehand and at some point we will all leave anyway. No one can change that, that’s for sure. ” (Teaspoonful)
