Traditional Turkish barber · Haggerston
BEYOND GROOMING
A traditional Turkish barber on the square by Haggerston station — gloss-white salon, red capes, LED ceiling and a 422-out-of-431 five-star record built on fades, hot towels and attention to detail.
The shop
Turkish craft, Hackney regulars.
The sign over the counter says it plainly: "Traditional Turkish Barber". Inside it's all gloss white and chrome, a wall of mirrors, product cabinets — and that red floral Beyond Grooming sign you can see from the door.
The review themes read like a checklist: fades (17 mentions), attention to detail (12), hot towels (12), beard trims (12) and welcoming staff (9) — plus shape-ups, kids' cuts, and barbers who listen. Safa gets thanked by name. The shop is women-owned, LGBTQ+ friendly and wheelchair accessible, entrance and seating both.
