We discovered this salon while wandering near our Airbnb. Through the glass doors, we saw two barbers who appeared quite skilled. I approached the bearded barber, showed him a picture of the haircut I wanted, and asked if he could fit me in. Despite it being late, he gladly agreed and spent about 20–30 minutes expertly working with his scissors, even though my hair is quite short. The result was almost an exact match to the photo. When I looked in the mirror and seemed a bit unsure, he offered to buzz it for a more finished look. Since it was a new style for me, I thought I needed time to adjust and declined.
Eventually, I realized the style didn’t suit my face shape. The woman in the photo had a narrow face, while I have broader cheekbones, so I decided to return to my usual buzz cut and hoped the same barber could help me. I found out his name was Kirill, but he was off that day. Another stylist, Tess, took care of me instead.
Even with my somewhat awkward explanation, Tess quickly grasped what I wanted and achieved the look I had in mind in just minutes. There wasn’t much to do since my hair was already short, but she did a fantastic job. Like Kirill, she was calm, friendly, and clearly skilled at her work.
My boyfriend also had his beard trimmed by another barber in the salon and was very satisfied with the result. Everyone spoke fluent English and Russian, and the atmosphere was both warm and professional. Based on our experience—and the impressive color transformations I saw while there—I highly recommend this salon for haircuts, buzz cuts, beard trims, or color. The team is exceptionally talented.
