A haircut does not start with the first cut — it starts with reading what kind of hair you actually have.
Why the cut starts with reading the hair
Two people can have hair of the same length, yet the same cut will not sit the same way on both. Strand thickness, the direction of the crown whorl, where the hairline begins, temple structure and face proportion all decide how a cut will fall.
For that reason the hair is examined dry first. Wet hair misleads: it gets heavy, lies flat where it should stand, and hides its own growth direction.
A cut that still holds at home
The real test of a haircut is not in the shop but on the third day. What makes a shape hold is not length but where the transitions end and where the weight is removed.
Before you leave, you are also shown how to style it — which direction to comb, how much product is enough, which area to leave alone.
Where the shop is
The shop is on Horhor Street in the Iskenderpasa neighbourhood of Fatih, within walking distance of Aksaray metro and the Vezneciler area.
