Meet the People
When my friend (another curly-haired girl like me) brought me to this hair salon, the first thing that impressed me was not the classy posters of modern haircuts, but the sounds of music. Meštri o’ Kose (“Masters of Hair” in the local Boka dialect) is a small hairdressing salon located behind the Musical school walls in the Kotor old town. Run by Živko and Nina Jevtović, together with their colleagues Katarina and Ivana, they are real professionals who managed to bring my unruly fuzzy curls into a beautiful haircut for the first time in my seven years in Montenegro. This aroused my interest, and I wanted to know more.
