Two brothers bring together urban cuts and a US-style service culture... Michael Mueller

As someone who avoids mainstream cutteries, I look for an urban salon where I’ll get personal treatment, a scissor cut and a current style, but hold the artistic chaos please. Such creativity and service is not easy to find, but at this salon, two brothers have come together to pull it off.

Mon 4pm-8pm, Tue-Fri 10:30am-2pm and 4pm-8pm, Sat 10:30am-2:30pm and 4:30pm-7:30pm

    Salon founder Mariano Marabotti has 20 years of stylist experience in his native Buenos Aires as well as Miami and New York. Mariano uses a “descriptive geometry” technique in which he considers the length, volume and perspectives of each client’s hair to “sculpt” a harmonious cut. Cuts are designed to look good after stepping out of the shower—no fuss, no muss.

    The salon's urban focus, from its industrial chic furniture to its graffiti artwork, reflects the inspiration for its cuts: street-spotted trends, urban magazines and music videos. Mariano also helps those looking to express their personality cultivate new looks.

    Franco Marabotti, with 20 years of experience in banking, retailing and the service sector in the US, manages the business side. Clients are lucky to have him on hand as concierge and to avoid translation mishaps.

    With plans for international expansion on the board, these brothers are proof that hair cutting is about more than creating lasting looks—it's about finding your own path of creative expression.
