'I get my hair dyed in Turkey for £20 - I'm obsessed'

A woman who has taken being loyal to her hairdresser to the next level says she flies all the way to Turkey to get it done for £20. Plenty of people are currently flocking to Turkey for new teeth and cosmetic procedures, but now people are heading to the country for their hair done, too.

The woman, who is an eyelash technician in London, has been going to Turkey for a cut, colour and blowdry for the past decade. But despite her critics, she says she won't go anywhere else.

The lash technician says that's because she loves the way the stylist does her hair. There's also the fact that it's incredibly cheap, costing her about £20.

Posting on the account @ipsbeauty, the beautician said: "Get my hair done in Turkey with me…how cheap is it really?" She added: "Only cost 400 Turkish Lira which works out to £20. Plus 200 Lira tip."

In the video, the Turkish hair stylist, who is wanting to move to London, dyed her hair black, and she joked: "He's actually getting sick of seeing me every year. Joke he loves me."

The woman added that she didn't travel to Turkey alone, because her mum came with her. She explained: "Even mum's getting dolled up! Go on sexy mumma."

She then filmed herself getting her hair dyed black, before getting it cut and blow dry. At the end she said: "I'm obsessed." The video clip sparked a fierce debate, with one person saying the reason it's affordable is because of the struggling Turkish economy, says the Mirror.

One person commented: "You will regret it. They ruined my hair, it's nice and everything but their dye damages the hair and you will notice when you go back home." However, someone else replied saying: "They? They who? Turkish hair stylist[s] are world renowned. You may have had a bad experience but you can anywhere".

Another added: "Not you judging EVERY hair salon in Turkey over your experience with someone who did your hair." Another added: "Well it don't cost just £20 does it, you obviously forgot to add, the flight, the transfer, the hotel, the extras etc etc so technically she would be spending more than in the UK."

However, others completely understood her, with one person added: "Why not it's a good excuse for a little getaway good luck to her."
