Barber Vepa Kilicseen tells how the attitude of Finnish and Turkish men in appearance is different. Young clients, in particular, are now accurate about their style and go to the barber shop even weekly.
Barber Vefa kilickesen33, drives on a machine, cuts with scissors, shaking shaving foam, slipping shaving and finally offering a small show element: he lights the vanuuPo on fire and wakes the flame in the customer’s ears.
Burning is an effective method for removing ear hair.
No burn at all, a standard customer sitting in a barber chair Jari confirm.
Kilicseen, a barber entrepreneur from Turkey, designs Jari’s beard and is working on a popular fade cut, with short and longer hair from the bottom.
Jari visits Vefa’s barber in Suurpelto, Espoo, every three weeks.
– In my experience, it is the Turkish barber shops who know this [fade-leikkauksen] to do really well. Certainly some Finns too, but I haven’t found one yet, Jari says.

Special expertise
Fade is now a particularly popular hair model, according to Kilickesen. Many also come to his chair for the beard design.
The special expertise of Turkish barbers is to drive a beard with a straight beard. The result is much more accurate and smoother than shaved with a boring home machine.
Kilickesen bends the barber’s chair back and spreads the shaped shaving of the fur on Jari’s chin and neck.
“This is a bit softening with the beard and the skin doesn’t become so red,” Kilickesen says as he wakes up foam with a big shaving.
He begins to slide a disposable beard on the skin. Particular attention must be paid to the delimitation of the beard; The lines become accurate and sharp.
Customers visit the barber shop weekly. In Turkey, certain customers came to the barber every day, Kilickesen remembers. Kaisa Vehkalahti
The young
Kilickesen has noticed that young customers are the most accurate appearance. Hair trends are widely monitored on social media. Even the barber shop is more often visited.
Kilichesen has a few regular customers who visit every week.
– They are used to it and they are bothering when the hair grows a little.
For example, maintaining a Fade model requires hard hairdressing as the hair model quickly begins to lose its sharp lines. If you want to keep the model as a scarp, Kilickesen says that the barber in the barber one week or two.
Kilickesen says that young people almost always show the picture of the desired model. Often inspiration is my own guy. The young person wants the same surgery as this.
Kilichesen says he is constantly seeing pictures of football stars.
– Young people must now have a fade. The customer does not necessarily know what the fade is, but wants it, says Kilickesen.
Indeed, there are many variations of the Fade hair model whose English names say nothing to the ignorant: Taper Fade, High Fade and Drop Fade. In all of them, the hair is shaved from the neck short and the cuts are extended differently towards the main lack.
Finally, the hair is washed to prevent the loose hair from itching. The table with the pool has been ordered from Turkey because there was no similar one in Finland. Kaisa Vehkalahti
To the barber every day
Although the importance of appearance has also been emphasized by Finnish men, Kilickesen believes that Finnish men are not nearly as accurate for their external appearance as the Turks.
When Kilicsen worked at the barber in the Turkish capital in Ankara, some customers went to put their muzzles on each morning.
– The same group came every day at 10am in the morning. I hairdryer, wax and out, Kilickesen recalls.
Well -groomed appearance is important for Turkish men. Hair and beard must be kept clean, and the ear and nose hair is burned or waxed.
According to Kilickesen, the naturally dark hair of Turkish people influence the fact that so -called mistakes are more easily visible. The Finns sitting in his chair often seem to be calm about the hairline start to escape a little.
– When the Turkish has a little hair from the forehead, he doesn’t sleep at night, Kilicsenen jokes.
Kilickesen trim his own beard, but he trusts his hair in the hands of his barber shop. This is cleaning Kilicsen’s hair every week or every other week.
– Before the kids I was really accurate [ulkonäöstäni]. Now he is no longer interested, he laughs.
Driving a beard with a knife has special expertise in Turkish barber shops. The end result becomes particularly smooth. Kaisa Vehkalahti
Learn from a young age
Turkish barber shops are known for their careful and quick grip.
According to Kilickesen, the reason is experience. Like many other Turkish hairdressers, he has learned the profession at a very young age.
Kilichesen, who grown up in an akara, quit school at the age of 11 and was in a car repair shop for a while. At the age of 14, he decided to follow his big brother in the footsteps of his big brother. At the age of 7, he had spun his summer vacation at his brother’s workplace.
Young Kilickesen made long days with just a tick. As an assistant, she kitchen tea, brushed her hair from the floor, and followed the work of a barber and brother without sensitive. Gradually he was able to cut his hair, first the young of his own age.
– It took three years and then the boss said, please, that chair is yours, says Kilicsenen.
After his brother, Kilicseen also came to Pori in Finland in 2011. In Pori, the brothers first worked in the restaurant industry until in 2014 they decided to set up a barber shop in the city.
Kilickesen has been running his own barber shop in Suurpelto in Espoo since 2020. Big brother Wax still hairdressing in Pori.
“The best thing about my job is the moment when the customer looks in the mirror and smiles,” says Vepa Kilicsen. Kaisa Vehkalahti
“In every field of friends”
When Kilickesen founded his company in Espoo, he wondered how he could do. In the Helsinki metropolitan area, when it seems to be a barber almost every corner of the street.
According to Kilickesen, competition for customers is fierce, so you can do well in the industry with skill and good customer service. He has mainly relied on the power of the Business Radio.
– A couple of days ago, a Turkish person became a customer who had heard of me from a friend. He has lived here for almost 17 years, says Kilickesen.
He says that there have been many regular customers in five years. He is friends with some long -term clients.
According to Kilickesen, a Turkish barber is traditionally a meeting place. People not only will cut their hair, but also the sharing of news and worries.
– It’s a pleasure to talk to your customers and see them happy. I’ve been doing this for a long time, 16 years. If you don’t love this job, you won’t do, Kilicsen emphasizes.
Turkish coffee also has an important social significance. According to Kilickesen, it is really as important to offer coffee as chatting.
“I try to keep this culture alive in Finland as well,” he says.
At least for the time being, Kilicseen does not want to take employees for his company because he alone wants to be responsible for his company’s customer experience.
– Or I have one, the best employee, Kilickesen smiles.
With an employee, he refers to an outdoor -filled air -filled advertisement that a passing cannot be overlooked. The advertiser commissioned in Turkey must be replaced once a year, as Finland’s winter is too much for it.
