 <\/p>\n

At the time of the Ottoman Empire, anybody who wanted to be a barber had to pass a series of very tough practical exams. A man that decided to become a barber would first be tested by his neighbours to measure his composure under pressure and when making mistakes. Those quick to anger were not allowed to be a barber. <\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the Ottoman Empire, barbers were like peddlers. They didn\u2019t have shops. Barbers would shave people in Turkish coffee houses or on the streets. Sometimes they would go to customers\u2019 homes and shave them there. These barbers were called \u201cPeruk\u00e2r\u201d. But the task of the Peruk\u00e2r went beyond shaving. They also performed various medical tasks such as taking blood, performing small surgical interventions, cleaning wounds, dressing, extracting lice and cleaning hair, circumcision, and tooth extraction. Of course, nowadays barbers in Turkey do not do such things! However, if there is a small cut or nick, they are adept at curing or wound dressing. <\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The most important legacy of those ancient barbers is the relationship between the barber and his customer. To this day there is friendliness in the industry which is rarely seen elsewhere so, when you go to a barber who knows you, after shaving, you might say, \u2018I don\u2019t have money now, I will pay later\u2019. The barber will smile and say, \u2018Sure\u2019 and you can walk out of the shop and come back later to pay. This friendly relationship is only available in neighbourhood barbers and is not possible in luxury barber shops. <\/h4>\n
