Traverse City Bathroom Remodel: Unique Turkish Design

Ever heard of Male Pattern Baldness? Of course you have — who hasn’t! Like many men, I experienced my own Great Hair Recession, and like many others, I looked into hair restoration surgery. Hair restoration in America costs around $12,000 — or roughly the business owner's cut from 1,000 bathroom remodels. 😄

So, like a few men, instead of paying that much, I traveled to Istanbul, the hair restoration capital of the world, to get it done for only $1,500!* (See Footnote)

And that’s where my wife Tracy and I discovered the legendary Hammam, AKA the Turkish Bath. The Hammam blends an authentic and modern spa-like experience.

Picture this: an attendant, called a natır (pronounced “nateer”), guides you into a warm, humid marble chamber — think spa meets ancient ritual. The heat is generated from the hot water lines that run along the backside of the marble surfaces.

This is when you begin to relax and allow your pores to open. And while you lie on the heated marble, the natır exfoliates your skin using a rough mitt, a “kese”.

A vigorous soap massage follows, creating clouds of foam in this centuries-old bathing tradition that blends cleansing rituals with architectural elegance. Rooted in Roman and Byzantine bathing culture and refined during the Ottoman Empire, it’s both a physical and cultural experience—a blend of wellness, tradition, and tourism.

So, how does this translate to your bathroom upgrade here in Michigan?
