This Gorczyn Barber Wrote the Book on Hairdressing—And He’s Just Getting Started

Yo Poznan

Yo, Poznan fam — you know we’ve been on this nonstop grind to find the dopest hairdressers in the city. We’ve hit up salons in all the flashy, trendy spots — but now? We decided to shake things up and roll a bit further out, straight to Gorczy. Because sometimes the best gems ain’t right where everyone’s looking.

Our usual hustle: deep-dive research, stalking reviews, creeping socials — and bam, we landed on something seriously next-level.

Meet Damyan

Not just your average barber but a legit legend with a book to his name called Fryzjerski Brud – Nierozjaśniona Prawda o Branży Beauty. Translation for the squad still brushing up on Polish: Hairdressing Dirt. The Unbleached Truth About the Industry: Real Stories, Scandals and Sh*t They Don’t Tell You About Hairdressing. It’s in English, too. Check it here

This book? It’s the real deal. Crafted over years, it’s packed with hilarious, wild, and sometimes straight-up terrifying stories from the frontline of Polish hair salons. Imagine a mashup of life’s absurd moments mixed with Monty Python’s madness — that’s the vibe. And hey, with 14k followers on Facebook and 13k on Insta backing him up, Damyan’s not just talk.

So where’s this magic happening?

Just opposite the Gorczyn tram stop — a quick ride from the city center — Damyan’s been cutting hair and dropping styles since 2013. Naturally, we hit him up for the inside scoop and a few juicy tales (wink, wink). His salon ain’t just about basic cuts; it’s a full-on hair playground with crazy treatments.

Sneek Peek

OLAPLEX

The ultimate damage fixer that keeps your hair strong and healthy even after heavy color treatments. Total game-changer in the haircare world!

KERATIN STRAIGHTENING

Keratin straightening is a salon treatment that smooths and tames frizzy hair by infusing it with keratin protein—the natural building block of your hair. It makes hair sleek, shiny, and more manageable for weeks, reducing curl and flyaways without harsh chemicals. Perfect for getting that smooth, polished look!

HYDRO KERATIN

Hydro Keratin is a deep hydration treatment that combines the smoothing power of keratin with intense moisture. It repairs damaged hair, boosts shine, and softens texture while making your locks feel super nourished and healthy

NANOPLASTIA

A modern hair treatment designed to smooth, straighten, and deeply nourish hair while repairing damage. Think of it as an advanced, intense hair-restructuring therapy that uses tiny molecules (hence “nano”) to penetrate deep inside the hair shaft.

BOTOX (for your hair, obviously)

Hair Botox is a deep conditioning treatment that repairs damaged hair, reduces frizz, and adds shine—like a rejuvenating boost for your locks without any needles involved.

The caviar and snail treatment? We’re definitely coming back for a deep dive on that one!

Prices?

Fair game for all you style heads, especially for the unusual services. Here’s a sneak peek (short / medium / long hair):

  • Keratin Straightening: 390 / 490 / 590 PLN
  • Botox: 170 / 220 / 270 PLN
  • Olaplex Regeneration: 120 / 140 / 160 PLN
  • Nanoplastia: 900 – 2200 PLN (wowza)
  • Sombre with Highlight: 300-330 / 360-440 / 400-530 PLN
  • Airtouch: 650 – 1100 PLN

And for the guys, clipping is 70 / 80 / 90 PLN — a solid deal.

Wrapping Up

Okay, so full disclosure: we haven’t gotten our cuts yet — but we’re locked in with Damyan and will be reporting back soon with the full before & after flex. Honestly though, you should get your hair done by him just to hear those insane stories he’s got lined up. Trust us, it’s worth the trip for the chat alone!

Until then, if you can’t wait to upgrade your look, hit up Damyan on Instagram @damyansalon, peep the website damyansalon.pl, or stalk the Facebook page Damyan Salon.

Catch you soon with fresh fades and hot takes from Gorczyn!
