Meet Mike, senior hairstylist in our Neukölln salon. Born in Warsaw, despite graduating in chemistry, he had always known that hair is his true passion. He gained over 16 years of experience in the Best salons in Warsaw participating in seminars and trainings. Mike likes clean, light hair cuts and natural colours, in which he introduces elements of avant-garde. There’s no greater joy to him than seeing the smile of a client in his chair. In his spare time he enjoys traveling South-East Asia.

ESHK and catwalk shows (LFW). Miguel specialises in short hair and loves working with curls. He has combined this love with electronic music,  producing and releasing his own material. After moving to Berlin he joined forces with Meg & Fernando opening ESHK Berlin, bringing hair & music together in the up and coming areas of Neukölln and Moabit.

Born and raised in Osaka, Japan, our master hairstylist Kosuke started his career over 13 years ago.

Gonzalo is our multi-talented hair salon receptionist at the busy Neukölln branch in Berlin.  He was born in Lima, Perú in the late 80s. Physical Theater, Aerial Acrobacy, Dancing and Mixing Electronic Music are his passions. As soon as he came out of high school, he went to live in New York City for half a year, where he was intercepted by a tremendous night scene. This meant a great moment of inspiration for him as he was introduced to the world of electronic music and nightclubs at his early 17. Becoming a DJ was imminent. This, plus his career in Digital Marketing has kept him remote and flexible; travelling, living in different cities and experiencing different cultures. He’s now settled in Berlin for the long term, managing digital projects, looking forward to transform societies through sound and art and ready to host with the best energy at ESHK.
