True style is not about half measures, a maxim most defiantly exacted by this trendy little hairdresser’s in downtown Raval. They also say good things come in small packages, and the size of Hed has certainly liberated its owners to wholeheartedly pursue a fetishistic design concept.

In each and every detail there has clearly been a great deal of care and attention invested. The orange-red brick walls and floor tiling form the basis for its rustic aesthetic, complimenting simple oak fittings and minimalist, full-body mirrors. The chairs, however, are really something else, and truly exemplify the attention to detail brought to bear here. While they may, at first glance, resemble something akin to ancient torture devices, they are actually an ensemble of distinguished, classic designs, variously incorporating wicker rests, porcelain bases and wrought-iron detailing.

In terms of the real business of cutting hair, all this may sound like mere frippery, but we encourage you to perish the thought. The same attention to detail as is evident in the selection of the chairs, for example, will be afforded to the follicles of any customer who sits down in one. Hed pride themselves on the skill and currency of their cuts, and, while they may not come cheap, the impact of quality should never be underestimated.
