Cuts · beards · hot-towel shaves
Twenty minutes that make the week easier.
A proper cut, a beard shaped rather than shortened, and a hot towel if the day has been long. Same chairs since 1948, same rule: nobody leaves before the mirror check.

Behind the chairs
The barbers
Camille Berthier
Founder & master colourist
Balayage, colour correction, difficult blondes
Opened the salon after twelve years in colour studios in Lyon and Copenhagen. Takes the appointments nobody else wants: box dye, orange bands, four years of henna. Will tell you in the first five minutes what is possible today and what needs a second session.
Yanis Oubrahim
Senior stylist
Curly and textured hair, dry cutting
Cuts curls dry, curl by curl, and has the patience the method demands. Trained in three curl-specific methods and keeps his own hair as the demonstration model. Ask him about products: he will name the two that work and talk you out of the other nine.
Nora Lindqvist
Stylist & barber
Precision short cuts, fringes, clipper work
Came to hairdressing from a barbershop and kept the razor discipline. Short cuts, fades and the kind of fringe that still sits right on day nine. Her regulars book the same Thursday slot for years and she remembers all of their coffee orders.
Inès Achour
Colourist & care specialist
Bond repair, scalp health, warm brunettes
Rebuilds hair that other salons said should be cut off. Runs the care menu, reads scalps with a magnifier and is honest about when a treatment will not be enough. Also the person to see for a copper or a chocolate brune that does not go flat after three washes.
The room
Four chairs, one radio, no rush
The mirrors were here before us and will outlast us. The razors are stropped every morning, the towels are hot, and the coffee is free, including for the person waiting who is not even getting a cut.
We use single-use blades, sterilise everything between clients, and finish every cut with the mirror check, you say yes before you pay, not after.
- Single-use blades, sterilised tools
- Hot towel included with every shave

From the chair
What regulars say
"First barber in fifteen years who asked how I actually style it in the morning before touching the clippers."
"Took my father here for his eightieth. They gave him the hot towel and half an hour of talking about the neighbourhood. He still mentions it."
"My beard finally looks shaped instead of just shorter. Turns out that is a skill and not everyone has it."

Walk in before noon if you like. For an afternoon or a Saturday, better to send this, we call back to confirm the chair and the barber.
