Every head of hair has a story. So does a profession. Mine began in 2001, in the narrow streets of Beşiktaş Çarşı, as an assistant. For three years I worked alongside experienced masters; before I ever picked up the scissors myself, I watched their hands, their posture, the quiet communication they built with each client. Because in this trade, real training begins with the eyes. That is also where I learned the patience required to build a solid technical foundation.

In the years that followed, I had the opportunity to work in some of Istanbul's most exclusive neighborhoods: Tarabya, Levent, and Etiler. I served a demanding local/international clientele across different ages, professions, and styles. This experience shaped me far beyond haircuts and beard design; it taught me what personalized style, a refined client experience, and truly premium service really mean. Technically, it was during these years that I gained my deepest expertise: precise fade techniques, layered and textured shaping, scalp-conscious cutting methods, line work where the beard meets the face with precision, and the ability to read a face correctly before the scissors ever touch the hair.
