20 Lira Haircut and shave!

[tinkerman]

My nephew was charged this yesterday by the robbing git on the left hand side just down from dolphin crossroads towards the beach, I might pop my head in there today and 'have a word'[!]

Be careful - popping your head in may cost you 20 lira!

Things like this really wind me up, I don't mind paying a bit over the odds, but taking the P**s is another matter. Thanks for the warning Tinx, I will continue to use my usual place up in Gunlukbasi.

This is the one oposite the twins shop not the one next to Dawn Beach.

Also have a place like this in Hisaronu charged 20tl just to cut a 2 year old childs hair,when asked why so expensive for a child,the answer was because he was a child.

Gordon went to this same Barber when his usual one was closed, on the odd occasion when he used this one he was charged approx 7-8TL.

He went to pay this particular day and the barber wanted 14Tl  when he asked why the increase he was told petrol had gone up!! ??  Gordon stood his ground gave him the usual amount and walked with the owner shouting at him in Turkish that he was a thieve.

Pot, Kettle and the colour black?

It always struck me as quite rich that those over there who con, when rumbled have nothing to say to defend themselves, so attack. By pointing out their con, you become the one in the wrong - how dare you question their honour and honesty. When caught out, they shout and get aggressive, and hope to embarrass the 'victim' enough that they would rather get away and let the con happen than stay and fight.

...And this isn't the first time I have heard of such ripoff activity from this barber. As Rimms says, the Gunlukbasi one is a better option, also the one on the road that leads to Seaside Villas & the Dolmus terminus at the far end of the prom.

[stoop]

I've used the one on the back road near the dolmus station. He does a good cut and shave and will burn your nasel hair and ear hair as well as offer to squeeze your spots.

NOwhere near 20ytl!

[AOK]

A friend of mine has just returned from his 1st trip to Calis.Loved the apartment,Loved Calis,but commented on the fact that you had to be on your guard to avoid being ripped off.

He is only over for a 10 day holiday, first time and first day, I will ask him the cost in front of one of his Turkish customers and see the response.
