Chez Galip Hair Museum

You may ask the stuff get more info about the symbols and the pottery shapes. It was lovely to get to know what each figure represents

Ambiance of the shop and attitude of sellers were not bad. But we realized that pricing of vases are higher than Urgup. A medium size vase was 5 TL in there. Same vase is 10 TL with packages of 5 (2TLfor each) in Urgup. You need to be careful in this regard when shopping in there.

Amazing place, cheapest price than the other places

You can try pottery making (20 TL) You can visit hair museum (3 TL) If you buy something from the shop both of them are free of charge. Recep (one of the staff) is so kind and nice. Small nice place...

Interesting place but not allowed to take pictures. Entrance is 5 TL

Interesting place. The entrance fee is 3 lira but if you buy something from the pottery section of the shop it is free. You cannot take pictures inside!!

Incredible pottery art, and the interesting hair collection is a must see if you're ever in the area. The skill of the potters is only racing with their niceness. Beautiful work,really.

It is considered to be one of the weirdest museums in the world, the Hair Museum of Avanos, in Cappadocia, is definitely a must-see if you’re into bizarre tourist spots. Avanos has been mentioned in relation to a unique hair museum created by skilled Turkish potter Chez Galip. The unusual establishment, located under Galip’s pottery shop, is filled with hair samples from over 16,000 women. The walls, ceiling, and all other surfaces, except the floor, are covered with locks of hair from the different women who have visited this place, and pieces of paper with addresses on them. The story goes that the museum was started over 30 years ago, when one of Galip’s friends had to leave Avanos, and he was very sad. To leave him something to remember her by, the woman cut a piece of her hair and gave it to the potter. Since then, the women who visited his place and heard the story gave him a piece of their hair and their complete address. Throughout the years, he has amassed an impressive collection of over 16,000 differently colored locks of hair, from women all around the world.
