Atmosphere at Barberian

Larry the Barberman, an influential force in the barbering world, visited Poland and had an exclusive interview with Adam Darski, the owner of Barberian Academy & Barbershop. But this is NOT your average barbershop interview and Barberian is not your average barbershop.

When you think of a barbershop, you probably don’t think of this:

Yet Adam Darski, also known as Nergal, is world-famous as the frontman of the black metal band Behemoth. So how did this musician end up creating and managing one of the hottest barber businesses in Poland? “I started, like, investigating on barbershops. Immediately I fell in love with this whole culture and with the craft and with the way they approach life. It was just… it was coherent with who I am.”

Darski's approach to work

Who Darski is behind the stage persona is another surprise. A well-groomed, sophisticated figure with a cool air of self-assurance, eloquence and a quick sense of humor, Darski gives off more of a Christoph Waltz vibe than antichrist. But this is what makes Barberian work so well. Darski is first and foremost an artist who knows how to create a brand that is true to what he loves. “It came straight from passion and from heart… Maybe you can fake it, I don’t know. But this- you cannot fake it. It’s all real and very organic.”

The distressed brick walls and vintage touches paired with slick workspaces may be at home in many popular barbershops, but it isn’t every day you see a motorcycle mounted on the wall, glass panels on the floor with barber supplies… or an array of animal skulls. The result is an aesthetic that is polished and edgy, classic with a twist, and so. fucking. Cool. “It’s like having different skins and different masks and each one basically represents different moods or different qualities of your personality. And that’s it… They work together nicely.”

More importantly, this philosophy translates into the services provided by his incredible team of barbers. Darski has already shown that being a metalhead and successful business professional are hardly mutually exclusive.  Why shouldn’t a man’s style be equally versatile? As you sit back and enjoy the atmosphere at Barberian with their excellent coffee and Behemoth craft beer (another one of Darski’s ventures), you receive a service that suits your style for any occasion.

“This is craft... this is professionals working and taking care of men’s health or men’s aesthetics. But to me it’s also very artistic. And my spirit is there to be released more in an artistic way than in a business way.” You can learn more about Barberian and Darski by watching the full interview here.
