I finally found one that looked just like my Dad's old shop.

I'm sort of assuming that your Dad's shop was someplace in the USA, and had the revolving red-white-blue pole? Do the Turks use the "barber pole" to designate a real barber shop? I won't get my hair cut at a place that doesn't have the barber pole out front.

Yes, Dad's shop was in the USA. And surprisingly, some of the Turkish barbershops did have the revolving pole out front, despite the fact it's not part of their traditional culture, which is growing a beard. Most didn't have it, though.
