Produktbeschreibung

The Cut We Choose

is more than a book about barbershops and hair. It's about identity. Desire. Courage. And the transformative power of finally becoming the person you've always known yourself to be.

Set against the quiet backdrop of a hidden barbershop in Vienna's 7th district, this collection weaves together the stories of men from all walks of life - from Montana ranch towns to Syrian cities, from French IT offices to Scandinavian academia - each arriving with a secret, a longing, or a fear they've carried too long.

In the chair, there's no hiding. No excuses. Just the hum of clippers, the honesty of a mirror, and the choice to let go of what no longer serves. Some seek sharp, military lines. Others embrace the raw honesty of a donut fringe or a clean, permanent transformation. But no matter the style, each cut becomes a quiet act of rebellion - and of reclamation.

Through the eyes of Austrianbarber Steve - who's been cutting hair since the early 1990s - and his partner Pete, once a cowboy from Montana and now a proud co-owner of this intimate sanctuary, we are invited into a world where appearance is more than surface. Where hair carries history. And where a transformation can be the beginning of everything.

These deeply personal stories - some fictionalized, some inspired by real moments and people - explore themes rarely spoken aloud: the shame of secret desires, the thrill of ownership, the fear of being seen, and the beauty of self-acceptance. Whether it's Tom's first trembling step into the shop, Emil's bold high-and-tight, Tariq's healing from cultural silence, or Lukas's journey from observer to transformed - each voice echoes with truth.

For anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and wondered what they might look like if they let themselves be free - this book is for you.

The Cut We Choose is a love letter to those standing at the edge of change. A reminder that your reflection doesn't just show where you've been - it shows where you're willing to go.

And sometimes, the smallest act - sitting in the chair - is the bravest step of all.
