Express Stryzhka

Express Stryzhka (Ukrainian: «Експрес Стрижка») is an international chain of express hairdressing salons that originated in Ukraine. According to its official website, the network operates 183 salons across Ukraine, Poland, Kazakhstan, the Czech Republic, Spain and Germany, serving nearly 2 million clients annually and having welcomed around 17 million clients in total. The brand has been operating since 2013 and describes itself as an 11-year-old international network. The chain is built around a simple, standardized service model: fixed prices for haircuts regardless of complexity or hair length, no appointment needed, and service seven days a week. Salons emphasize speed, hygiene and affordability. Each stylist is said to keep two to three sets of tools so that one set can be disinfected while another is in use, and the network states that its specialists have at least two years of professional experience and pass a special selection process. Express Stryzhka positions itself as a budget-friendly, high-turnaround alternative to traditional salons. Its value proposition combines accessible pricing, quick service and consistent quality across locations. The network has received recognition in Ukraine, including first place in the «Фаворит Успіху» (Favorite of Success) rating in 2014 and 2017. In 2023, Forbes Ukraine included the company in its first list of 250 small and medium-sized Ukrainian companies that it said are shaping the country's development, noting criteria such as annual revenue between 10 million and 1 billion hryvnias, sustainable growth, an innovative product, rapid scaling, and unconventional management or marketing decisions. The company operates as a private business and does not appear to be publicly listed. Its expansion into multiple European and Central Asian markets reflects a franchise-like or centrally managed chain model, though the exact ownership and corporate structure are not detailed in the available evidence. The brand's name is sometimes rendered in Latin script as Express Stryzhka or Express Strizhka, and in Russian as «Экспресс Стрижка».

Express Stryzhka began operating in 2013, according to its official website. The brand was founded in Ukraine and initially developed as a domestic chain of express hairdressing salons offering fixed-price, no-appointment haircuts.

The site states that the brand is 11 years old and has served approximately 17 million clients, with nearly 2 million clients annually. The chain's growth has been recognized in Ukraine. It took first place in the «Фаворит Успіху» (Favorite of Success) rating in 2014 and 2017, which the company presents as confirmation of its quality and safety guarantees. In 2023, Forbes Ukraine included Express Stryzhka in its first list of 250 small and medium-sized Ukrainian companies that it said are shaping the country's development. Forbes described the selected companies as having annual revenue between 10 million and 1 billion hryvnias, sustainable growth, an innovative product, rapid scaling, and unconventional management or marketing decisions. The available evidence does not specify the company's founders, ownership structure, or exact corporate headquarters. The brand operates as a private business and does not appear to be publicly listed. Its international presence spans five or six countries depending on the source, with the official website listing Ukraine, Poland, Kazakhstan, the Czech Republic, Spain and Germany, while another section mentions Ukraine, Poland, Kazakhstan, the Czech Republic and Germany.
