The shop
A one-man traditional.
The fascia says it plainly: Traditional Turkish Barber. Inside, walnut stations with globe lights and white basins — and a single pair of hands doing everything, which reviewers experience as meticulousness, client care and listening to what's actually asked for. "Friendly owner" and "skilled barber" are its recurring phrases, with value for money right behind.
The flip side of one-man meticulousness is the queue: wait time is the one caveat in the reviews, worst on busy Saturdays. The regulars' answer is simple — go early, or go midweek. (And bring cash: the sign in the window is unambiguous.)

"Meticulous — real attention to detail, and reasonably priced."
Paraphrased from Google reviews
Razor cuts, straight-razor shaves, beard conditioning and shape-ups all get named — the full traditional service from one pair of hands.

The one recurring caveat is time, not quality: with a single barber, a busy Saturday means a wait. Weekday mornings are the locals' trick.
