Aubout us
Romain is not a typical barbershop.
It is a place where time slows down, where craft is allowed to matter, and where men’s grooming is treated the way it should be: with attention, knowledge, and respect for the trade.
If you don’t know us yet: welcome.
Some places don’t start from a business plan, but from a need.
A need to build something that feels right. Something you can stand behind, even when nobody is watching.
That is how Romain began.
Not in a grand space with marble and marketing, but in a small garage. Limited room, endless drive, and a quiet obsession with one thing: craftsmanship you can feel. We built a space where the craft was not a “style”, but the standard. Day by day, client by client, razor by razor.
Today, ROMAIIN has grown into a recognizable name in the niche world of traditional barbering and modern craftsmanship. But the core has never changed. We are not trying to be the busiest. We are building the highest standard we can, every single day.
ROMAIN is built on one simple belief: quality is never an accident.
Quality is repetition. Discipline. Knowledge. And respect for detail.
We believe in calm and rhythm, even in a world that moves too fast.
We believe in honest service, without performance, but with precision.
We believe in tradition as a foundation, not as decoration.
Less noise. More essence.
At ROMAIN, you don’t come for a quick haircut. You come for work that is done properly, and an experience that feels consistent from the moment you walk in until the final touch.
ROMAIN is, first and foremost, a barbershop where hair, beard, and traditional straight razor shaving come together. Every service follows a method: logical, considered, and executed with care. Not more. Not less.
We cut hair with character and technique.
We shape beards with structure.
We shave the traditional way in every service , with a traditional straight razor, because it is the purest form of the craft.
ROMAIN is for clients, and it is also for professionals.
For clients, ROMAIN is for men who recognize quality, who value calm, and who understand that good work takes time. You don’t need to know anything about barbering to step in. You just need to feel that you don’t want a factory experience.
For professionals, ROMAIN is a place for barbers, shavers, and craftsmen who don’t want compromises. People who want to raise their service level and work with tools and products that perform every day.
Professionals can find quality tools and products we use ourselves, test ourselves, and trust. Not the biggest selection, but a correct one. A place where you can walk in with questions, curiosity, and ambition.
Romain is also an academy. Because craft is not learned through shortcuts. It is learned through guidance, repetition, and correct fundamentals.
The Romain Academy is for those who want to truly understand traditional shaving: pressure, angle, skin preparation, rhythm, and control. It is for those who want to master sharpening and maintenance: edges, stones, stropping, and sharpness checks. And it is for those who want to raise their overall service: hygiene, flow, client experience, pace, and finishing.
Our goal is simple.
Not more tips and tricks, but skills that stay. Skills that make you confident, and that your clients can immediately feel.
Romain is more than a barbershop. It is a place where knowledge moves, where technique is taken seriously, where products have a reason to exist, and where tradition is not imitated, but understood.
It is a home for people who appreciate real things. Real hands. Real tools. Real service.
Romain was built on patience, experience, and pride. Not loud pride, but the kind that says: this is how it should be.
Welcome to ROMAIN. For those who seek quality. And for those who want to become it.
