People often ask, “How did you go from law to opening a hair salon?” The answer is simple: it was about finding purpose and passion in making people feel their best.

For years, I dedicated myself to the legal profession—long hours, intense cases, and a fast-paced lifestyle. While I found success, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. I loved helping people, but the law wasn’t giving me the personal connection I was craving. I wanted to create something that brought joy, confidence, and self-expression to people’s lives in a more tangible way.

During a personal transition, I moved to Miami—a vibrant city full of energy and diversity. It was here that I started noticing something: every time I visited a salon, something felt off. The services were adequate, but the experience lacked warmth, care, and attention to detail. I realized that what many salons were missing wasn’t just skill, but a sense of true hospitality and connection.

And that’s when it hit me—why not bring the essence of Turkish hospitality into the salon experience? A place where clients are treated not just as customers, but as guests, where they can feel comfortable, pampered, and leave with more than just a great hairstyle—they leave with an experience.

So, I left behind my career in law and decided to open HairportsMiami, a salon where art meets hair, and every client is treated with the precision and care that we bring from Turkish craftsmanship. My goal was to create a place where the small details matter, and where every smile, every cup of Turkish coffee, and every treatment reflects our passion for welcoming people and making them feel at their best.
