A Turkish barber is a particular type of barber, who typically provides other services on top of traditional men’s hairdressing, such as:

• A hot towel shave
• Beard trimming
• Nasal hair waxing
• Singeing fine hair
• Massage

WHAT DOES A TURKISH SHAVE FEEL LIKE?

A Turkish shave can leave you:

• With a face that feels baby-smooth
• Feeling pampered and relaxed
• Feeling like the very best version of you

WHAT IS A TURKISH SHAVE?

• A Turkish barber will begin by using steam to open the pores on your face, letting out any impurities such as excess oil, dirt and bacteria
• The barber will then wrap your face in a hot towel to help thoroughly cleanse your skin, making sure it’s as clean as possible for the razor, so you can benefit from a close, clean shave
• Shaving cream (either gel or foam) is applied, before you’re given a close shave, usually using a straight razor
• Another towel is used to pat your face dry and remove any remaining shaving cream
• To finish, aftershave is usually massaged into your face, leaving it feeling soothed, refreshed and smelling great.

A Turkish shave or a hot towel shave is the ultimate way to end a visit to a Turkish barber. A traditional Turkish shave will be clean and close, leaving your skin feeling wonderfully smooth, with no evidence of shaving cuts or razor burn.Men typically enjoy a Turkish shave as an occasional relaxing treat – it’s an indulgence, but it’s a good way to practise self-care, giving you the chance to take a little time just for you out of your busy schedule.
