Vintage Studio

Vintage Studio is a single address in Sliema that covers three crafts: a barber, a women's hair salon and hair extensions, with a beauty salon on the way. It stands at 144 Triq Manwel Dimech, in the middle of Sliema and a short walk from the seafront. For visitors it means a couple, or a group of friends, can book a men's cut and a colour in the same trip, rather than hunting for two different shops. The studio is listed in our directory of hairdressers and barbers in Malta.

The team is led by two co-owners. Ciprian is the master barber, Andreea handles hair colour and styling, and Osmel works alongside them as a second barber. Staff speak several languages, and many regulars first found the studio while on holiday.

The barber: cuts, fades and beards

The barber side offers a classic men's haircut at €21 and takes about 30 minutes. A skin fade or taper fade is €23 and 45 minutes, a scissor cut for long or medium hair is €26 and 45 minutes, and a buzz-style clipper cut is €17 and 30 minutes. A quick neckline and line-up touch-up costs €15 for 15 minutes.

Beard work includes a beard trim and shape at €15 for 30 minutes. Combined appointments save time: a classic cut with a beard trim is €31, a fade with a beard trim is €34, a scissor cut with a beard trim is €37 and a clipper cut with a beard trim is €27. A men's wash and style is €8 for 15 minutes. Every haircut comes with a wash and style, and you can walk in when a chair is free or book ahead.

Women's hair salon and extensions

The salon menu covers blow dry and styling from €15, women's haircuts from €30, root touch-ups and colour from €35, and gloss and toner from €25. Balayage and Airtouch start from €145 and full highlights from €120, with a highlights retouch from €55. Colour correction is quoted after a consultation. Because every head of hair is different, colour is priced to your hair: you can send a photo and the studio gives a price before you come in.

Care and finishing treatments include hair repair from €15, keratin smoothing from €100 and hair botox and nanoplastia from €45, along with updos and bridal styling from €35. Hair extensions are matched to your colour and texture and fitted by the stylist after a consultation, so they sit and move like your own hair. Extensions are priced by consultation, and hair colour and extensions are by appointment.

Finding the studio in Sliema

Triq Manwel Dimech runs from Balluta Bay down to the Sliema Ferries. Balluta Bay is about five minutes on foot and the Ferries about ten, and the studio is a few doors up from the Sliema Police Station, a short walk from The Strand and the Sacro Cuor church.
