Our First Weeks in Enge: March 2022

This is a snapshot of our first weeks in March 2022. It describes the founding team and the ideas behind our first shop, rather than today’s staff or a current promotion. The introductory 15% offer mentioned in the original account ended on 15 April 2022.

Two weeks after opening in Zurich, we had our first haircuts, beard contours, shaves and facial appointments behind us. Personal feedback and the first positive reviews made those early days especially memorable.

The founding team: Gill

Gill began his training and career in Madrid, then gained experience in barbershops in the financial districts of London and Spain. His approach was to understand the shape, length and care suited to each customer before recommending a cut. He spoke Spanish, English and Italian, and was learning German at the time.

The founding team: Dakota

Dakota began his training and career in Málaga before working in Zurich’s financial district. Precise details and attention to individual wishes were central to his approach. At that time he spoke Spanish, German, Italian and English.

What personal service meant from the start

We wanted an appointment to be more than a quick haircut. A welcoming drink, a relaxed wash, appropriate beard care and clean capes, brushes, towels and tools were part of that idea. Listening first mattered: the advice should fit the customer’s hair, style and everyday routine.
