There are places you don’t discover, they discover you: Barberia Atenes is one of them. From the very first moment you cross Dimitriou Vassiliou street in the Faros area of Psychiko, you feel its art deco freshness embracing you. A beautifully framed setting in shades of blue, a space exuding discreet luxury and masculine elegance.
It is the spot where men from the northern suburbs and far beyond have been charting their personal grooming map for years, a place where grooming transforms from a mere habit or “obligation” into a ritual of relaxation and renewal.
The Barberia team knows exactly what attention to detail means: From the first snip of the scissors to the final stroke of the straight razor, everything is executed with precision, style, and a touch of artistic discipline. The result is not just a flawless men’s haircut or shave, but an experience that elevates mood, energy, and confidence.
The environment, on the other hand, feels like a Humphrey Bogart film. Curved lines, velvet chairs, blue tones, and an air of finesse set a cosmopolitan mood from the first step inside. On the right, the impressive, gleaming bar serves Dewar’s or an aromatic Delonghi coffee before the hot towel shave ritual begins. Pores open, the face brightens, and you rediscover the best version of yourself.
Its clientele includes familiar figures from the business and sports world, as well as people who simply appreciate craftsmanship as its core mission. They all return for the same reason: because a haircut here is never standardized. It’s personal, crafted around the features, character, and style of each man. A result that doesn’t change you, it reveals you.
And the experience doesn’t end with the scissors. Grooming continues in every detail: manicure and pedicure in a private space, threading or waxing, hydrating and revitalizing facial massages. All delivered with the same aesthetic dedication and precision you’d expect from a handmade suit. Which, incidentally, they also offer, as the Truman Clothiers tailor awaits you on the upper floor for your next sur-mesure appointment.
Before you leave, a stop at the retail corner is almost essential: Shelves filled with fragrances like Acqua di Parma and Penhaligon’s, alongside Italian TBD eyewear that look more like jewelry than accessories. Small proofs of an aesthetic that doesn’t shout, simply exists. Just like the man leaving Barberia Atenes: calm, confident, elegant.
