Time-Honored BrandSilian · Beijing · Founded 1956
Founded in 1956, Silian Beauty Salon is a time-honored Beijing brand born from the merger of four renowned Shanghai barbershops. Known for exquisite craftsmanship and impeccable service, it has become a symbol of elegance and refinement in the capital's hairdressing industry.
Brand Story
Silian Beauty Salon, officially Beijing Silian Beauty & Hairdressing Co., Ltd., traces its roots to 1956, when, in response to the nation's call to support the capital's construction, nearly a hundred technicians and their equipment from Shanghai's four most prestigious barbershops—Huaxin, Violet, Yunchang, and Xiangming—relocated to Beijing. They established the 'Silian Barbershop' at No. 33 Jinyu Hutong, Wangfujing Street. This move brought Shanghai's cutting-edge hairstyling and perming techniques to Beijing, ushering in a new era for the capital's barbering trade. Renowned for its skillful craftsmanship and attentive service, Silian quickly became a trendsetter in Beijing fashion. Even Premier Zhou Enlai once visited for a haircut, further cementing its fame. Over half a century, through historical transformations, Silian has upheld its artisanal spirit, blending Shanghai-style techniques with Beijing's cultural character, earning its place as a living heritage of China's hairdressing industry.
