Men’s grooming has evolved significantly in recent years, with modern needs for personal care and appearance demanding high-quality professional services. In this context, we visited KOMI Masterfades Barbershop in Xanthi to learn from Tolis Komitis the story behind KOMI Masterfades and his vision for the art of barbering, as well as the secrets that make the haircutting experience truly unique.

The beginning

Tolis Komitis’ journey into hairdressing began, quite naturally, from his personal love for grooming. Shortly after graduating from high school, he started cutting his friends’ hair as a hobby. Realizing he had both talent and passion for the craft, he began practicing consistently, gradually seeing his skills evolve and improve over time.

Although he studied Electrical Engineering in Kavala, Tolis never abandoned his passion for grooming. In his third year of university, he made the decision to pursue his passion professionally, successfully completing his degree while also enrolling in a vocational training institute (IEK) to study Hairdressing.

The Creation of KOMI Masterfades Barbershop

In December 2023, Tolis opened KOMI Masterfades Barbershop in Xanthi. Carefully planning every detail of the space and equipment, and working in collaboration with architect Konstantinos Koutras, he created a modern and comfortable environment that reflects his professional philosophy and aesthetic.

The barbershop’s journey began dynamically, fueled by the power of personal recommendations and word of mouth. The client base grew organically, confirming that passion and consistency are key to earning people’s trust.

The First Day of Operation

The first day of operation at KOMI Masterfades was filled with anticipation and creative nervousness. Tolis wanted everything to go smoothly: appointments on time, flawless results, and a positive experience for the clients. With proper preparation and calmness, the day went successfully, laying a solid foundation for the smooth running of the business.

The philosophy of KOMI Masterfades Barbershop

Daily life at KOMI Masterfades is defined by organization, attention to detail, and a strong focus on the quality of service offered to each client individually. The barbershop stands out thanks to its comprehensive care: beyond classic haircuts, it offers eye patches for the eye area, eyebrow and facial hair removal, as well as a relaxing massage with a specially designed chair at the end of every treatment.

The goal is for every client to enjoy a complete experience of relaxation and grooming, in a welcoming and well-maintained environment.

Collaboration with ena Development Consultants

The establishment of KOMI Masterfades Barbershop was significantly supported by Tolis Komitis’ participation in the DYPA program for business creation by unemployed individuals aged 18-29. To support and implement his entrepreneurial effort, he collaborated with ena Development Consultants, specifically with the SME Competitiveness Development Consultants Liana Kavoura and Michalis Vagdatsis.

As he mentions, the collaboration with ena stood out for its organization, reliability, and prompt support at every stage of the process. From the very beginning until the completion of the program, he received continuous updates and guidance for every required action, which gave him confidence and a sense of security.
