When Cavit Uludenizliler and Huseyin Isik opened the first Turkish barber’s shop in Bray, County Wicklow, it was to instil in the minds of the men of the town the belief that they were “worth looking after themselves more”.
With high-profile clients now coming from all parts of the county, even from as far as Wexford, and with requests from well-known people in the entertainment industry, Cavit seems most happy when his clients are happy. And his principle is that if you look good on the outside, you feel better on the inside.
