Peluquería Luís

I went here on 10^th June 2016 to get a quick trim. I didn’t need an appointment and only had to wait about 5 mins. He washed my hair and then I explained in my best pigeon Spanish want I wanted. He cut my hair with a real attention to detail, I have never seen someone use so many devices to get everything perfect. After he washed my hair again he went over everything, even searching out individual hairs and making sure everything was exactly right. Finally he trimmed the eyebrows, made sure the sides were so even that they could have been cut with a laser and then blow dried and styled it all.
The price for this exceptional service € 9.95.
WOW, simply WOW.

I was in Madrid for 3 days and I really needed a hair cut. Came here after reading reviews about it.
I understand you can get bad haircuts. It happens. But when you direct your barber not to touch your top, you expect barber to listen to your direction. He ended up almost shaving a good portion of my hair, when I stopped him (first 30 secs) it was already too late.
It wasn’t a miscommunication. He just cut it super short when I told him not to touch the top. And every time I said don’t, he kept going with a smile on his face.
Look I really don’t post reviews on Unilocal but I felt really violated after coming to this place, my hair was about 12 cm long and now it’s 4. I really hate myself for going here rightnow and I’m just trying to save you from this terrible experience I’ve had.
I’m not trying to ruin this business but the guy shouldn’t run his business like that, especially when you are dealing with hair style. Spend more money and go to a better barber shops in Madrid.
God bless.

Very friendly Asian couple welcomed me right in, sat me down, and I was in the chair for a haircut within ten minutes. My Spanish is pretty poor, but I was able to get the idea across with a picture. The husband cut my hair, trimmed with several different levels of razor, and washed it all, making little changes the whole way through. A true artist! And like Ted S. said, all for just ten Euro. Definitely a great place for a guy’s haircut in Madrid.

Adoro cortar o cabelo com o Luis e sempre que venho a Madrid é aqui que que o faço!
O Luís (seu nome artistico) é um cabeleireiro tailandês fantástico. Quando já não se tem muito cabelo (que é o meu caso) valorizamos mais outro tipo de coisas…
O Luís é super perfeccionista a cortar o cabelo, pois mesmo que o corte seja pente 1 ou 2 total, ele utiliza várias máquinas, e passa para um lado, e passa para o outro, e volta a passar, … parece que nos corta o cabelo com régua e esquadro… e diz-​nos sempre até quando o cabelo vai ficar bom e precisa de ser cortado novamente… Comigo, acertou sempre.
Quando chega a hora de lavarmos a cabeça, passamos para as mãos da sua mulher, ou continuamos nas dele, caso ela não esteja. E aí vem a massagem… como eu adoro esta parte… confesso que gosto mais quando é ele a fazê-​lo… acho que ela é mais despachada, pois ele continua com o mesmo perfeccionismo a fazer-​nos a massagem…
O espaço é pequeno, mas muito simpático. Nunca está cheio, porque as pessoas vão marcando e aparecendo à hora marcada, o que também não dá lugar à conversa sobre as vidas alheias ou sobre o futebol e afins…

Awesome little place run by a husband and wife team. We get fades back home and its always a gamble if they are going to be able to match how California does our fades, but this guy was great. Washed hair, did a great fade, washed hair again and then styled it. For 10 Euro!

Luis me dio el mejor corte de pelo que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Muy detallista y esmerado en su trabajo, además es buen tipo y abierto a conversar un rato. Definitivamente volveré. Después que él termina, su esposa o hija te hacen un shampoo con agua caliente. Al final hasta me dió un caramelo. Muy recomendado para hombres.

Esta curiosa peluquería se encuentra en la calle Cádiz, un pasaje perpendicular a la calle Carretas donde únicamente hay negocios de restauración principalmente orientados a guiris despistados.
Lo primero curioso es el cartel de la peluquería «Luís y (tachón)», por lo que ahora deduzco que era Luís y quizá su pareja. La peluqueríà la regenta Luís, nombre figurado porque es de Taiwán, su hija y una mujer mayor que supongo que es su madre. A Luís le gusta que le llamen así dice que su nombre es impronunciable.
El local es bastante alargado, la parte de la peluquería es muy pequeña, y en la parte de atrás hay una zona en la que realizan los tratamientos de belleza (depilación, uñas, etc.), allí no he entrado.
No es una peluquería de las que te cortan el pelo en dos minutos con máquina. Es más casi me atrevería a decir que Luís es demasiado detallista y está una hora retocando (es muy perfeccionista). Después de cortarte el pelo, Luís o su hija te hacen un masaje en la cabeza mientras te enjuagan la cabeza que te deja nuevo.
De precio es muy barato, el corte de pelo son 10 euros, y aunque normalmente hay bastante gente Luis siempre encuentra el momento para cortártelo.
