Geleneksel Türk Berberi
First Class sits on Henderson Street in Bridge of Allan, red sign above the door, three chairs inside and the kettle of a shop that is open seven days a week.
The work is traditional Turkish barbering — haircuts, beard shaping, hot towel shaves, and the flame for the ears if you fancy it. Customers keep mentioning the same thing: time taken, every inch checked before you get out the chair.
It is the sort of place where a grandson back from two and a half years in Australia gets recognised the moment he walks in, and where a lad who had not sat for a barber in eight years was talked through every step and told it could stop any time he asked.
