On the Cutting Edge of Malta’s Hair Salons
Pat in action at her shop
Don’t let the name fool you: the hair expert in this lovely little salon is really a Ms. Her name is Pat Micallef, and she’s been designing hair for men and women since 1984.
You get just what you want at Mr. Scissors, located right in the heart of Sliema. If you don’t want your hair trimmed too short, you’ll be happy with the results in the mirror. If you want something new or different but not sure what, Pat will help you pick a style that suits you—not just anyone on the street.
There was an expat—a guy—who would never let anyone cut his hair wet (which is, of course, the way you’re supposed to cut hair). But once Pat convinced him to try it once, he’s now in her salon every month for his favorite treat—Pat’s shampoo and cut.
Expats, tourists and locals alike seek out this cozy haven for a great haircut—and a well-deserved break from work, touring or cleaning the house. Pat recently refurbished the salon, but made sure it retains the casual atmosphere it’s known for.
“I really like it when people can come here and let their hair down,” says Pat. “But the most important thing is that people trust me with the scissors.”
Go there on a Saturday morning and you’re likely to meet Pat’s mum who comes in for a shampoo and trim, her daughter Tasha--and her grandchildren. And Pat’s cosmetologist daughter-in-law Angela will come and give you a pedicure and/or manicure. This salon is definitely a family affair.
While you’re waiting for your hair to set, you’ll get a great cup of espresso and get to have a chat—if you wish—with some of the locals.
