Hubby paid 17 lira for a haircut and a shave when we were over a couple of weeks ago.  He was thrilled with this price (about £7).  He even left the change of a 20 lira note as a tip!  

and he can't wait to come back in August, where he will happily pay this price again.  

You`re avin a larf Jules  
The next time he goes in there it will be 20 lira and he`ll still expect a tip.
one of the main reasons prices are going up and up is because of tourists paying the extortinate prices and STILL leaving a tip.

We tip if we're pleased with the service.  If not, they get nothing.  On this occasion, hubby was VERY pleased with the service.  

If they try to charge 20 lira next time, they get no tip!  Simple!

I cannot understand how being charged roughly £8 for a shave and a haircut can be a con. It can only be a Brit who would have the nerve to say that in a foreign country.I for one would and have been more than happy to pay that because in my opinion you dont get much better than a Turkish haircut and shave. Back here in my local town I payed £8 for a haircut just 2 weeks ago and thats the average.I didnt get a free massage or a flame thrower in my ear either.Those extras in Turkey cost nothing.I wont even talk about the superb shave you get in Turkey either. Conman I dont think so.

The cost in the UK is not relevant to this topic. The cost compared to what a Turkish person pays is. Using your logic you can pay 4 lira more for your lager than the rest of us and sit there grinning at the fact it's less than the £3 you pay in UK bars.

At least he could grin with an overpriced smooth chin.
