I flew 6,300 miles to Turkey for a hair trim – it cost £400 but I love beauty, it’s worth it
POPPING to the hairdressers can be a pain – but imagine flying 6,300 miles to get your do spruced up.
Bryn Elise, a travel and beauty fan, jetted from the United States to Turkey to get her locks done there instead.
She wrote in a clip: “POV: flying to Turkiye for a $500 miracle.”
Bryn showed her short hair before going to the salon, and then the jaw-dropping finished result.
In the after clip, the beauty lover had long blonde hair extensions in a wavy style.
She added: “HOW DID HE DO THAT?!
“300 pieces of 22inch keratin bond extensions + bleaching + styling = $500 (£392).”
In the comments, she explained: “He is amazing and visiting Turkiye has been incredible.”
People were baffled at the fact Bryn took such a long flight for her hair, and asked her to break down the costs.
The TikTok user continued on her @bryn.elise account: “If you’re flexible with your dates you can get a flight from the US to Istanbul for $700 (£592), airbnbs are around $200-$300 (£156-£235) a week, food $150 (£117).
“This is my third time getting it done and I go back every 3-4 months:).”
And she shows no signs of going low maintenance any time soon, adding: “Next time I may try to go to Colombia or Brazil to get it done! I love beauty.”
While people were flabbergasted at the cost, Bryn insisted that she does actually save money by doing it this way.
She claimed: “My salon in the US quoted me $4,400 (£3,452) for this.
“I save money by not getting done in the US and put that money towards an amazing vacation instead. 10/10 recommend.”
Social media users were left open-mouthed at the woman’s hair and were impressed that she jetted off to Turkey for the new look.
One wrote: “I find it hard to believe you can’t find a local stylist.”
Another added: “I’m not ugly. Just poor.”
