HAGI'S BARBER SHOP 

On 12 May 2018, “Hagi's Barber Shop 2.0” opened on the lower ground floor of the former Local and Regional Court in the Andreas Quartier in Düsseldorf. On entering, you step into an entrance area that overlooks the entire shop. The staircase invites you into a utopian world of the Golden Twenties.

On the left is the waiting area, decorated with stucco ornamentation, historic photos of the team and a bookshelf with selected design and art books. On the right-hand side of the shop are a product wall and the reception, surrounded by green metro tiles that reflect traditional craftsmanship.

Shamsedin “Hagi” Rada is Düsseldorf's most experienced barber and a leading figure in the hairdressing industry.

In 1989, Hagi discovered his passion for cutting hair and has lived wholeheartedly for his craft ever since. What once began with customers on worn-out chairs quickly became his life's work and today enjoys great popularity with guests from all over the world. Hagi combines meticulous craftsmanship with boundless passion and only puts down his scissors once every guest leaves the chair with a smile.

Inspired by barbering culture in the USA, England and the Netherlands, Seaver Rada designed the first Hagi's salon in the timeless style of the 1920s in 2015, while studying psychology – with the vision of creating a holistic retreat for men.

Today, Hagi and his sons run two barber shops that pay tribute to their father Hagi.
