When we first met the gentlemen from MMG Freedom Barbers , we were curious about how they wanted to breathe a new and unprecedented touch into something as traditional as men's barbering. However, thanks to building a community around their old town barbershop, this traditional craft is experiencing a renaissance in our region.
The vision of a place for gentlemen to come not only for a haircut, but also to chat, have fun or just have a drink, sounds like a marketing cliché full of empty promises. However, enter MMG Barbershop and suddenly this very world opens up before you, a barbershop as if torn from an American movie. However, it is not retro with starched shirts and jazz music from the twenties. MMG Freedom Barbers has created its own identity and found a place for a traditional men's barbershop in the modern world. The atmosphere in the center of the metropolis has been perfected by the gentlemen from MMG and it is time to take a step forward.
“The best barbers in LA stay downtown during the week and cut hair in Hollywood one day a week,” says one of the owners, Maroš. “So we made Koliba a little Hollywood,” he adds.
If many people think that Koliba is just a new location for the MMG franchise, they couldn't be further from the truth. It's a completely different barbershop than the one on Náměstí 1. mája.
Going for a haircut and at the same time sitting quietly at the bar or having the opportunity to take a shower - these are the benefits available to every visitor to Private Barbers.
"The service is longer, lasting an hour and a half, and there is a more intimate atmosphere. At the same time, the customer not only has more peace of mind, but also the comfort of parking and greater privacy. If the client wants to continue their working day at full strength after the haircut, they have a shower with clean linen at their disposal."
We all know that furniture, chairs or wallpapers can be easily replicated. However, atmosphere, as something intangible, is tied to the place, time, space we are in, and successfully capturing it often requires superhuman effort. That's why the guys brought something new. Something with its own identity.
"Some gentlemen like a barbershop full of noise and bustle, and some, on the contrary, want to indulge in a little peace," describe the barbershop atmosphere in Koliba. The barbershop is intended for clients who want to take a break from the busy city and enjoy quiet moments alone. There are only four chairs, and the quality of service is ensured by barbers who have just come from the center.
Everyone has their own preferences. Some people like the hustle and bustle of the city and want to experience the atmosphere of a city barbershop. But there are also customers who want to have peace and quiet, have a beer or whiskey while getting a haircut."After all, the business was originally established as a new alternative for our regular clients. However, new customers are constantly appearing, residents of Koliba, who suddenly don't have to travel to the city for a quality haircut. And for those who come to us from the city, it's also a nice trip. It never hurts to leave the center and enjoy the beautiful view from Koliba, it's part of the experience," he adds in conclusion.
