Paddington · Sydney · By appointment
Hair, cut to the bone of who you are.
Editorial cuts, colour architecture, and finish — one chair, by appointment only.
The chair
One chair. No rush. Twenty years of the same obsession.
Bohdan trained in Kyiv, spent a decade in London houses that still book six months out, and opened this room on Oxford Street because Sydney deserved a quieter kind of salon. There is no junior bench. There is no music loud enough to hide a bad line.
Appointments run long on purpose. A first visit is a conversation about bone structure, how you actually live, and the hair you want to stop fighting. Then the cut.

Texture & Finish

Recent cuts & colour
Architecture over trend. Hair that still looks like a decision two weeks later.
In the chair
Clients who do not shop around.
“He cut less than I expected and it looked more like me than it has in years. That is the whole point.”
Maya Chen
Creative director
“I fly in from Melbourne twice a year. There is no second chair, no small talk for the sake of it — just the work.”
James Ortega
Founder, Atelier North
“The colour is quiet in the office and gold in the evening. People ask who does my hair. I tell them once.”
Sofia Hale
Stylist & editor
“Bridal trial, wedding morning, not a pin out of place at midnight. Bohdan treats an event like architecture.”
Priya Raman
Barrister
