True specialists for beard trimming are always a joy to find, so if you fancy being properly taken care of then we suggest heading to brothers Hussein and Raed Seif, in their barbershop on Flughafenstrasse. Since 1996, they have not only been trimming, shaving and cutting hair, but have catered to all beard styling demands using traditional barbershop methods. In the recent years, the popular renaissance of the hipster beard has attracted flocks of customers to the master hands of these sleek and professional barbers. When Hussein explains the five different ways of shaving that they offer, it’s hard to choose which one sounds best, but it’s clear that their 40s and 50s inspired styles continue to be a unique selling point for this establishment. You can also receive as much pampering as you desire; they offer a specialized post-shave massage technique and have their own beard-care range with wax, balsam and oil. To top it all off, they recently produced an ornate photo book entitled “Old School Barber” which is available to browse and order in store. (Text: Ferdinand Hamsch / Photo: Jens Book)
