Sometimes the best discoveries happen completely by accident. Wandering through Gdańsk’s Old Town, we stumbled upon Elegant and Maria.
WHO ARE YOU OUTSIDE THE BARBERSHOP?
A wife, a mum to a little girl, and an ordinary woman with dreams, problems and everyday joys.

Opening a barbershop was my dream. We planned to do it in Ukraine, but war changed everything. We visited my brother Misza in Gdańsk and decided to build our new life here.
CRAZIEST CLIENT CONFESSION?
What happens in the barber’s chair stays there!
BIGGEST HAIR CRIME?
Neglected hair and beards. Sometimes I want to stop strangers and invite them in!
Photo by Adalat NaghiyevBAD HAIRCUT REQUEST?
I’ll tell the truth and suggest something better.
CAN A HAIRCUT CHANGE SOMEONE?
Absolutely. Confidence, mood, even the whole day can change.
ANYONE YOU’D LOVE TO CUT?
Someone alive! I’m terrified an elderly client might die in my chair!
WHAT’S TRENDING?
The mullet is back!
WHAT’S THE DAMAGE?
Hair and beard combo: 130 zł with shaver, 150 zł with straight razor. SPA treatments are available too.
EVER HAD SOMEONE FALL ASLEEP?
Yes! It’s the ultimate compliment. They trust me enough to relax.

Because women appreciate well- groomed men!
FINAL WORD?
Come support our team. We’re not just cutting hair. We’re giving men a little escape from everyday life.
Barber and met Maria. Within minutes, her infectious smile, cheeky humour and down-to- earth personality had won us over. Some people just have that something. We liked her so much that featuring her in the launch edition of 3City Daily wasn’t even up for debate. Maria, you’ve made the cut!
