In the 10 months that I've lived in Madrid, I've gone to Czar like 4 times! I wanted to experiment with a shorter cut and he was the guy to give it to me and then help maintain it. He's a very confident, no-crap kind of stylist who intimidated me at first; consequently, I didn't quite get the cut I wanted the first time (he's the type who will tell you if he doesn't think your idea will work out and has no problem not giving you exactly what you ask for). Despite not getting what I was looking for, I got an immense amount of compliments, so I kept going back. As we got more familiar, each cut was more and more exactly what I'd asked. And the price has always been a predictable 25euro. (I don't know if the price is higher for long hair) Also, I never asked for a style but he always dried and did something nice to my hair after each cut, never charging!
He's a little rough with his handling, I remember the first time he washed my hair he ended up washing half the makeup off my face, but in the future I asked him or his colleagues to be careful and it was fine. They're very relaxed and nice there.
I will say that two friends asked for his info because they liked my hair so much, but both left a bit unsatisfied. For some reason he was more conservative with their hair and they didn't feel they got a big enough change. One requested he fix it and he very pleasantly saw her again and gave her a better cut. I will admit though, the highlights didn't look like much! read more
