Hair atelier · Tirana
A cut that moves with you.
Cuts, colour and balayage in a salon with five stylists, light from the street and the music kept low. The aim: hair that falls into place on its own.
Good hair shows when you walk. So every cut is checked with the head moving before we call it finished.
The first fifteen minutes are a conversation: how you wear it in the morning, how much time you have, what bothers you. The scissors come after.

Balayage MANE
The light does half the work
Our balayage starts from the colour you already have and the way you part your hair. Three stages, one after the other.
Consultation with the light
We take you to the window. We look at the base colour, the parting and where the light lands when you walk. We decide where it brightens and where it does not.
Hand-painting
The colour goes on with a brush and no foil, denser at the ends and lighter towards the root. That way the grow-out reads softer and a root line takes longer to show.
Gloss & cut
A gloss to seal the tone and bring the shine, then the cut. Colour and shape are set together, so the light falls where it should.

The atelier
“A good cut holds even without the dryer.”
Ardit Mëhilli · Stylist, founder
A stylist for fifteen years, trained in Tirana and London. He opened MANE with a single rule: every cut is checked with the head moving before the client gets out of the chair. Today he leads a team of five stylists and still cuts himself, every day.

Clients
Words from behind the mirror
-
I have had balayage in three salons. This is the first where, three months on, there is no line at the root.
-
I come for a cut every three weeks. Forty minutes, the time we agreed, no waiting at the door.
-
Ardit cut it shorter than I had ever dared. In the morning I washed it and it fell into place by itself.

Questions
Before you sit down
How do I prepare my hair for colour?
Come with hair washed one or two days before, no spray and no oil. Do not wash it the same morning: a little natural oil is kinder to the scalp during colour. If you have used box dye or henna at home, tell us when you book.
How often is balayage done?
Every three to five months. Because the colour sits away from the root, growth shows far less of a line. Between two sessions a gloss is enough to refresh the tone.
Do you cut men’s hair too?
Yes, every day. A men’s cut is forty minutes at a fixed time, with scissors or clippers, and the beard if you want it.
What about children?
From six years old, with a parent beside them. Book the first hours of the morning: the salon is quieter and the cut goes faster. We do not colour hair under sixteen.
How do I cancel?
With a message, up to 24 hours before. For balayage and keratin, which take two to three hours, please let us know two days ahead: that slot goes to someone who is waiting.
