The shop
Timber, stone and five stars.
One long room of warm timber panelling and a stacked-stone feature wall, a row of carved black mirrors and white basins, striped towels folded on every chair. It looks like a classic Istanbul barbershop because that's exactly what it is.
Reviewers return to the same words: welcoming (12 mentions), attention to detail (9) and value for money (8) — plus the hot towel finish and a glass of Turkish tea while you wait.
