I've meant for months now to write a review for Hakan Özkan. When I called to make the appointment…read moreeven, I heard a smile in his voice. I chose the salon because of the Yelp reviews. He asked me why I had chosen it, and seemed shocked at my answer. He didn't understand how I could trust something as important as a hair-cut to Yelp reviews. But the reviews proved accurate. He was both incredibly precise in how he managed my haircut, and so much fun to talk to with his great sense of humor and patience for my awkward Turkish. The one thing I'm genuinely sorry and sad about it, is that his haircut grew out so well that I never had a chance to go back to him during the four months that remained for me in Turkey. If I get a chance to go back to Istanbul, I'll schedule an appointment! Highly recommend.
