gamer.tv Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 So, I needed a haircut (for previously explained reasons) and had struggled to find anywhere with availability or wasn’t a pile of shite by the look of their website. Asked my colleagues that live locally to work and they recommended the local Turkish Barbers. I walked in and asked for a walk-in, was told ‘of course’ and took my seat. So far, lovely experience. Every member of the clientele looked the same: short hair (just in for a top up), tattoos, construction industry - so I stuck out like a sore thumb being none of those things. I got called up after only 5-10 minutes waiting - I think, leapfrogging a few people waiting. Explained to the chap that my hair is thinning at the crown and wanted a skin fade with a #3 clipper cut on top. He talked me round to a tight scissor trim and a beard trim instead with the skin fade. Then off he went, minimal chat (perfect), took a lot of care, never rushed and did both a great job on my haircut, and a similarly great job on my beard. Previous beard trims have been a very mixed bag with only one or two doing a good job, the rest so shit that I’ve opted to just do it myself. Finished off with a straight edge razor, a dash of fire to get rid of stray hairs and 30 minutes later job done. £26 for both which was reasonable - however, due to the various oils, beard balms, sprays, and products - I literally just smell of a Turkish barbers now. 8/10 - might repeat.

That didn't crop up on this visit but I’ll be sure to raise it to get in with the boys. Mostly it’s about a focus on a very close trim, using Turkish colognes and oils for a lot of the cut - it wasn’t any different from a regular haircut, but it certainly contrasts with an ‘English’ cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
