The Barber House - Dedicated to Gentlemen | First I must confess this was my very first time I have…read moreever spent "so much" money for my hair...I usually go to places that charge 10€-20€ for a cut. But this time I didn't just have any old plain hair cut, I had "The Dude" treatment...how awesome does that sound like hu?! But I'll get to that later...
The Barber House is a barber shop for men only in the style of the 60's with a modern touch here and there. You come in and a nice lady greets you, takes your coat, brings you to your seat and asks if she can bring you anything to drink. As you can see, a lot of YOU's...and that's what it's all about...you.
The interior is all new but, as said before, kept in the style of the good old 60's...fans of Mad Men will feel right at home.
The barbers all wear nice black pants and white shirts with black buttons and colars...very professional and competent. My barber was a very nice guy and he didn't just start blabbering around, he waited until I said or asked something...and since I'm not the big talker it was perfect for me.
So, what exactly is "The Dude"? It's a hair cut, beard trimming, a shave, facial hair removing (with fire & thread), a head massage and scotch (the good stuff!)...and of course after shave + beard oil for the skin & beard afterwards (if you like a product you can buy it in the store front afterwards).
The barber takes his time but doesn't fool around, he checks the cut a couple times and makes sure it's perfect.
Sitting there I've noticed three whisky bottles standing on the counter...which was mega awesome because a) they fitted in perfectly with the design, b) were free of charge, c) weren't the standard cheap bottles and d) I just f*****g love whisky!
Since it was 10:30 in the morning I decided on a lighter Glenlivet 18yrs old. ;-) For the afternoon & evenings I would recommend the Balvenie & Talisker...but you can always also drink a The Glenlivet.
Anyway, it was great how the barber finished something with my hair and passed on the whisky so I could take a sip.
I can recommend the Barber House to anybody who likes the idea of beeing a modern gentleman & really wants some good old service or just wants a special treatment once in a while.
Enjoy!
