A private appointment in Athens

A private barber comes to you: your home, your hotel suite, your office or your villa. The price reflects three things a barbershop never has to cover: the travel, the time held only for you, and an artist who works without a queue behind you. Here is what a private barber costs in the four cities where [sēnsei] works.

Private barber prices by city

At [sēnsei], haircut and beard are one complete service. The price depends on the city and on the artist you choose.

The Founder is available by request in every city.

What should be included

A proper private appointment is not a quick trim at the door. It includes a consultation, the cut, the beard shaped to match it, a razor line-up, and a finish styled the way you will wear it that evening. The barber arrives with a full professional kit, cleaned between every client, and leaves the room exactly as it was.

The right comparison is not a barbershop's price. It is the barbershop's price, plus the traffic, plus the wait.

Why the artist level matters

The service is the same at every level. What changes is experience. A Senior Barber is trained to the house standard; an International Barber brings years of private clients and fashion weeks. Choose by occasion: a regular appointment, a Senior Barber; a wedding, an event or a camera, an International Barber.

What changes the price

Groups, weddings, early mornings, late evenings and yachts are quoted personally, because they change the time and the travel. A whole villa groomed before a celebration is planned as one appointment, not ten. In Dubai, a barber at your hotel is priced like any other appointment.

THE SHORT VERSION

From €80 in Athens to AED 490 in Dubai, for haircut and beard as one complete service at your address. Groups and events are quoted personally.

Questions

Is a private barber more expensive than a barbershop?

Yes, because it includes travel and time reserved only for you. Most clients compare it with the hour a barbershop really costs them.

Do prices include the beard?

Yes. At [sēnsei], haircut and beard are one complete service.

Can I book for a group?

Yes. Groups, weddings and villa bookings are quoted personally.
