Getting a haircut in Istanbul without the language barrier
Getting your hair cut in a foreign city can be nerve-wracking. The number one complaint from visitors getting a haircut in Istanbul is the language barrier — asking for a slight trim and walking out with a buzzcut, or getting charged arbitrary 'tourist prices' in crowded Old City shops.
I am Yunus Kaya. I operate a private, appointment-only men’s salon in Gayrettepe, Besiktas, and I also provide in-room barber visits to Istanbul’s leading luxury hotels. I speak English, listen carefully to what you want, and combine modern precision barbering (scissor work, skin fades, tapers) with traditional Turkish hospitality and grooming care.
