Quick info
About Istanbul Barber
Istanbul Barber is a barber shop in South Ockendon, found at 3 Derwent Parade, where a live canary sings inside the shop as the team works, so its song is part of any visit. A basic cut takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Hot towel with dry cut is listed as an add-on, so it can be paired with the cut. Someone sweeps hair off the floor regularly, which keeps the working area clear between customers.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for dependable, clean haircuts, with several describing regular visits and one going twice a month. A first-timer unfamiliar with clipper guard sizes said the barber understood exactly what was meant, and another says the barbers are good with a little boy's haircuts. Friendly and kind recur as descriptions of the workers. Three reviews are sharply negative. One says the cut ignored a request to keep the hair long and looked nothing like the reference photo. Another says the back was never shown in the mirror and the blend was unfinished. A third felt a very quick cut was overpriced, with no razor work, and only noticed the hot towel listed at payment after being asked whether anything more was needed. A satisfied first-timer, by contrast, remembers the Canary singing away in the shop.

“I don't usually leave reviews, but this is an exception and not a good one. The guy that did my hair absolutely ruined it and I would honestly prefer if I never cut my hair at all. Looks no where close to the picture I showed and ended up with half of my hair cut off when I mentioned I wanted to keep it long. If you are looking for a clown shop, then you have found it here.”

“One of the best barbers Iv been too, try and get to them twice a month and never fail to impress. Would definitely tell anyone to go here”
