Cut, shave, sit a while.

“I have had my hair cut at this shop in three decades. Stratos cut it. Kostas cut it. Manos cut it last Tuesday. The chair was the same chair. I do not know if Pagrati has a more reliable institution.”

“Christos's hot-towel shave on the morning of my wedding was the calmest hour of the day. The cut held through eight hours of dancing. Forty euros, for the actual best part of the wedding.”

“I walked in on a Saturday at 9:30 expecting an hour's wait. I had a cut, a shave, an espresso, and a thirty-minute conversation with Kostas about the 1972 Olympics. Best haircut I have had in twenty years.”

“Father-and-son rate. The shop has been in our family routine for forty years. Apostolis still pretends to remember me from when I was eight. He probably does.”

“Vassilis cut my hair last week, supervised by Kostas. The cut was thirty minutes longer than usual and was, at the end, exactly right. The shop is training the next generation properly. That matters.”
