Ali Durmuş

I have been in this profession for 35 years. Whether you are sitting in my chair for the first time or have been coming here for years, you are equally important to me.

Before I start, I look at your face shape and hair. I do not give everyone the same cut; I look for what suits you. We pay close attention to hygiene and the quality of the products we use. Everyone who walks through our door is welcomed warmly.

Reviews

“For more than 20 years I haven't had my hair cut anywhere but at Ali Durmuş's. The service and quality are all there, but I wouldn't trade his conversation and friendship for anything.”

Hasan Ş., Google review, translated from Turkish

“Even if you can't explain what you want, he understands you and goes beyond what you expected.”

Barış D., Google review, translated from Turkish

“Since the day I settled in Şişli, about 20 years ago, I haven't been to any other barber. What matters most to me is hygiene, and Ali Durmuş never compromises on it.”

Hakan Y., Google review, translated from Turkish

“I went in just to have my neckline tidied, and they wouldn't take any money. Old-fashioned shopkeeper decency is still alive.”

Eren M., Google review, translated from Turkish

“I always make sure to visit Ali Durmuş's hair salon every time I'm in Istanbul. The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is consistently excellent, and I always leave more than satisfied with the results.”
