First time was great everyone was so friendly and spoke English hair was really nice and soft for months, but this 2nd time things were different- First I didn't know what Type of service I got last time and I felt like I was getting yelled at because I couldn't make up my mind quickly enough as to what blow out I needed. Third no one but one person spoke English which was odd to me as I was there last year and everyone spoke English. I got a keratin blow out and it was by far the most hurtful painful experience with sores on my scalp and the owner was pulling my hair I kept saying ouch and she kept going she burned my ears, neck and scalp. It was terrible 2 hours of pain. My head is still sore a week later and my hair has a terrible smell to it like burnt smell that I can't get rid of. I was completely scammed paid 250.00 USA dollars! I have sores inside my scalp meaning my scalp was bleeding! I will never recommend this salon to anyone and definitely not tourist! I also noticed something very interesting.. the bottle of Brazilian blowout was empty and I saw the guy go back refill it with something and put it back on the shelf whatever they are using is not the real product! Edit review- they sent me a what's up message after posting this saying I made her cry and basically implied they want me to remove this review. This is an honest review and I want people to know that truth and the pain I endured during a blow out. Here is a picture of my head what it looks like after you burn someone's head your head does a shedding phase I have am also loosing hair due to this. Please be on the look out this is not a place to go.

This place was recommended to me by our hotel concierge. Mind you this is a very tiny hotel…read more However, our concierge did have a bit of style. After traveling for 5 days, I definitely needed a shape up and shave. I just expected a small little barber. Hell, I wouldn't have been surprised if the barber didn't even have a real working space. Nonetheless, after going up and down the block a couple of times looking for this place, I was finally directed by a group of people outside. One of them pointed downwards toward the large full window sign. I walk downstairs to find a very clean, well lit, highly professional salon. The hair dresser/barber was extremely friendly. He told me the price, which I thought was pretty fair at the time. (Little did I know how much time and effort would be put into my "shape up") I took a seat and away we went. He started out by asking if I wanted tea. Psh. Why not?! The tea was a bit strong; so strong I found myself shaking as I was drinking it. If you can't tell by my profile photo, I'm all beard and no hair on top. Out comes the straight blade. And no motorized shaving cream dispenser here - real brush and bowl. After creating a thick lather, he whips out a lighter. He then uses the lighter to disinfect the straight blade. After the small pre-shave ritual, he goes on to cut my hair. Straight blade took care of everything. Very clean. Almost completely perfect, save for literally 2-3 stubbies that didn't quite fit the line. However, I'm set for a few days now. He brings me to the sink to rinse off. Warm towel time! I'm already in heaven. Definitely worth the price I paid. But wait! There's more... After the warm towel, I'm treated to a head and face massage. I'm back in heaven. We're now well into an absolute steal of a price! Overall, I got the royal treatment for a price I pay in the US for just a shape up. My barber was very professional, soft spoken and put in so much work. And complete pleasure, and I would recommend anyone treat themself to a haircut or shave here.

I am visiting Istanbul for 2 wks and picked this place because of the great online reviews. I called and made an appt but there seemed to be a miscommunication due to language barriers so I just walked in. They greeted me warmly and seated me immediately. I initially went in just for a color. Multiple people worked on my hair at the same time. I ended up getting a cut and blow dry as well. Everyone there is super friendly and I got endless cups of complimentary tea and coffee. My final result did not exactly match the reference photo I provided but the level of artistry that went into it is so ridiculous it doesn't even matter. Before my visit my hair was over processed and about 4 different colors from black to blonde ombré. They bleached it multiple times (I have black hair) and then hand painted the colors on. The cost is NOT expensive. With the high level of service and complimentary drinks for the hours I was there- including a tip - it is still cheaper than the highest priced salon I've ever been to in Washington DC. HIGHLY recommended.

My pedicure and haircut both turned out very well, however when I went to pay at the end my total was nearly double the prices I saw online. They added charges for my hair being washed, dried, and "styled", as well as extra charges for a "medical" nail service and extra charge for adding color (which should be part of a regular pedicure.) None of the charges were disclosed to me during the process. You would think that after being 45 minutes late and me not complaining at all, they would offer a discount or something for the trouble but instead I paid even more. Salon itself is nice, my nail tech was lovely and the hairdresser did a really good job on my cut. I am just disappointed with the customer service, tardiness, and up charges.

It was absolutely the highlight of my visit to Istanbul. As my KLM flight landed in Istanbul the entire city was blanketed with snow, so the warmth of the bath was especially welcome. Istanbul itself is an assault on your senses, everywhere you turn someone is aggressively trying to sell you something, carpets in particular, but also candy, and everything else you can think of. So being inside the Hamam is like an oasis of peace. Fortunately my masseur spoke English. I told him I wasn't your typical tourist, that he could be himself with me. And he was, he sang to me in the most magnificent voice I ever heard. As if an angel were serenading me. Of course singing is not typical of your experience at a Hamam. I loved the way he kneeled in front of me and gave me a body scrub from head, to toe. If only I could start every day this way. I got a package deal, $25 for the treatment including a taxi from my hotel. I of course loved being in such an ancient and historic building, as if the Sultan was still ruling the Ottoman Empire.

My partner in the process was Selda and she was AMAZING!!! Honestly she made the entire experience. She was respectful but funny and really helped me feel confident and lose my nervousness since it was my first time and I had no idea what to expect. They also gave me a full bar of their soap plus a Turkish towel in a cute bag. After the "wet" portion of the experience, before the oil massage upstairs, I sat in a nice little relaxing area and was brought some sherbet tea, water, and Turkish delight while I rested. Services i got: - Traditional full body scrubbing in the warmest quarter. - Organic Lavender Extract and Sea Salt Refreshing hand and foot peeling. - full body clay mask. - Relaxing bubble wash ritual on the warm marble stone. - Hair wash ritual with redbud scented shampoo. - Aromatherapy Massage with redbud scented oil in the private massage room. - Fresh and dried fruits to finish off the experience. Overall the entire experience took about 2.5 hours and left me feeling so refreshed.
