Ismail at Bu Kafa was recommend by locals in Istanbul. I needed something special for my long…read morehair, which was going wild. Ismail was fantastic, knew exactly what I wanted and delivered a perfect style with great conversation, humor and skill. He is more than a guy who cuts hair in a fashionable salon. He is an artist, well versed in his craft, its history and techniques. It was really fun, esp. for someone like me who hates going to the "barber'. I read another comment about English being "little little". This is not the case at all--fabulous communications skills So, do not let this discourage you from going. And prices are the same for anyone--they are yanabci-friendly. Ismail rocks in Cihanger!!!
