The Modern Barbershop Experience for Men<\/h2>\n

Gone are the days when only women went to beauty salons to be looked after and have their hair styled. The resurgence of beards has meant that men are now also increasingly visiting special salons designed to look after their well-being \u2013 something at which barbershops have a long tradition. Just a few decades ago they served as a meeting point for men. The barbershop was more than just a barber: it was also place where a man could be a man, and during a visit not only receive a presentable haircut and shave but also enjoy interesting conversation with like-minded people and perhaps even gain some new friends, all with a glass of whisky in hand. A few such barbershops found in Meininger cities are presented here.<\/p>\n

Barbershop Berlin \u2013 K\u00fcc\u00fck Istanbul<\/h3>\n

This small but perfectly formed salon run by brothers Hussein and Raed Seif is located in the centre of what is currently one of Berlin\u2019s hippest districts, Neuk\u00f6lln. Its two barbers, who learned their trade in the orient and perfected it on travels across the world, are committed to taking good care of their customers\u2019 hair and beards, occasionally accompanied by gentlemanlike packing and smoking of pipes. The premises are furnished with all kinds of antique furniture and other curiosities, collected on numerous weekends spent lovingly trawling Germany\u2019s flea markets. K\u00fcc\u00fck Istanbul<\/em> barbershop can be easily reached via subway line U8 to Boddinstra\u00dfe station or U7 to Karl-Marx-Stra\u00dfe station.<\/p>\n

Alex Torreto, the owner of the Torreto Barbershop<\/em> in Frankfurt am Main as well as of an impressive full beard, was introduced to the barbershop tradition as a small child with his grandfather in Greece. He has been fascinated with them ever since, and in 2014 opened his salon devoted exclusively to men. As well as home-made furniture and alcoholic drinks, visitors can expect a background soundtrack of hip-hop music and, of course, the barber\u2019s very own skilful hands. The shop is located in Bockenheim, Frankfurt\u2019s most populous district. Tuesday to Friday visitors are asked to make appointments, but on Saturdays he runs a \u2018first come first served\u2019 operation.<\/p>\n

Wien Barbershop \u2013 Brother\u2019s Barbershop<\/h3>\n

Since April 2015, the men of Vienna have had somewhere to get a stylish haircut and pampering: at Brother\u2019s Barbershop<\/em> on hip Neubaugasse, passionate barbers Arthur Brauner and Patrick Ridlmaier offer haircuts and shaves in the salon owned by the two brothers Ilya Sovtsov and Ivan Perevarin, who came to Vienna to study three years ago and thought that this type of shop was precisely what the city was missing. They clearly weren\u2019t alone, as evidenced by the healthy demand for the barbershop\u2019s traditional treatment with a sharp razor and warm compresses: visitors are strongly advised to make an appointment in advance. However, if you are next up, the process begins with a glass of whisky or a cup of excellent coffee amid the store\u2019s vintage furniture and lasts for around an hour.<\/p>\n
