Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the haircuts themselves, describing a team that's friendly and skilled with special or curly, voluminous hair, willing to try new cuts rather than pushing clients to keep long hair short or vice versa, plus regular styling tips on hair care and products. Several call the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable, with one nervous first-timer put at ease. A close second theme is value and access, with mentions of relatively affordable prices and quick appointments. Complaints are mixed: one reviewer paid nearly 80 euros for a cut they were unhappy with, another says a repeat visit with the same stylist went badly after a first perfect cut, with no response to a follow-up photo sent via Facebook Messenger. Most seriously, one reviewer describes being refused a curly-hair cut and a mullet request, told to go to an Afro hair shop instead, and calls this racism rather than the inclusive "safe space" advertised.

“I went to this hair salon because all my friends assured me it was a safe space for queer people. It even says so on their website. But it's only a safe space for queer white people. It's not okay to claim they can cut all hair types and then immediately refuse to cut someone with curly hair because they don't know how, won't do it, and don't have products for Afro hair. My hair isn't Afro; it's 3b to 3c curls. There are definitely white people with that type of curl. Does that mean all the hairdressers who were there today can't cut curly hair? In all their years as hairdressers, no one at this salon has ever cut curly hair? The person who spoke to me didn't even ask their colleagues if they'd be willing to cut my hair into a mullet. And then they told me I should go to an Afro hair shop instead. If it had been a white woman with 3b to 3c curls who also wanted a mullet with shaved sides, would she have been sent to an Afro hair salon? I don't think so; that was just everyday racism. Is that your idea of a safe space? Maybe it's a very good hair salon, but not safe for people of color.”

“I'm usually very nervous before going to the hairdresser, but here I felt very welcome! Every question I had about hair care and products was answered kindly and professionally (even with application examples).”
- Michael
“Great salon! Very friendly and highly competent hairdressers. I always feel very comfortable there. I would definitely recommend it.”
- Soraya
“I received a very warm and friendly welcome at the salon. Unfortunately, I'm not at all happy with my haircut. It's all the more painful considering I paid almost €80 for it and the result looks so bad. I hope future customers have a better experience.”
- Eleni Stavrou
“It was the same hairdresser, the same stylist. The second time I went, I even asked if I should show him the photo again, but he said no, he didn't need to. The first time was perfect, but the second time... well, yeah. Dissatisfied, I contacted him via Facebook Messenger with a photo, but nobody responded. Yes, it's a craft, but to cut your hair so badly... Save your money.”
