Solo barber vs a chain shop
In a chain you book a time and get whoever is free. Here there is one barber — Philipp — and every booking is with him. Visits run unhurried: 60 minutes for a cut and 90 for a scissor cut on long hair are in the schedule, not a courtesy. The honest downside: fewer slots than a four-chair salon, and a same-day booking at lunchtime is unlikely.
Languages
Appointments run in Serbian, English and Russian. That matters for expats, people on work assignments and anyone learning the language — you won't have to translate "short on the sides, longer on top, keep the fringe" into a second language.
Where
Petra Drapšina 25 in Novi Sad — the Happy Time studio where I work. I send the exact entrance and the way in on the day: the map pin sits on the same address the schema and the salon profile use.
Opening hours
Monday to Friday 10:00–20:00, Saturday 10:00–18:00, closed Sunday. Appointment only.
Frequently asked

- Yes. I work by appointment only, so each client gets the full visit time without a queue and without waiting for a free barber.

- Message me on WhatsApp or Telegram before heading over. If the slot is genuinely free I'll take you, but weekdays and Saturdays are usually booked ahead.
- Who cuts my hair?
- One barber. There are no other chairs in the schedule, so the booking is always with the same person.
- Where in Novi Sad is the shop?
- Petra Drapšina 25 in Novi Sad, at the Happy Time studio. Message me before the visit and I’ll walk you through the entrance.

Book a haircut
I take one client at a time, so the slot is set in advance — send a message or pick a time in Dikidi.
