One on OneMark Weston – an English hair-stylist working in Prague
My guest on One on One is hair-stylist Mark Weston. When I visited his
one-seat Salon Trichomania on Prague’s Anglická Street, he told me what
brought him from his native country of England and his second home-town of
Hamburg, Germany, to the Czech Republic. We talked about the hairstyles
