Plenty of shops in Miami list a hot towel shave. Far fewer are run by a barber who grew up inside the tradition the service comes from. Here is what the ritual actually is, what it costs, and what to expect in the chair.
What is a Turkish-style hot towel shave?
It is the classic barbershop shave: hot towels to relax the face, a straight razor doing the real work, and a barber who does not rush any of it. The menu at Grove Batu describes the service in the shop’s own words as a “Turkish style hot shave,” and that wording is literal. Batu is a master barber from Turkey who brought his traditional barbershop culture to Miami, and the hot towel shave is the service closest to home. The shop has practiced it in Coconut Grove since 2019.
How much does a hot towel shave cost in Miami?
$50 flat at Grove Batu, and the price includes an eyebrow trim rather than charging it as an add-on. Want the whole job done in one sitting? The Cut & Shave pairs a precision haircut with the shave for $90. Between shaves, a beard trim from $40 keeps the lines deliberate.
What should you expect at the shop?
Expect a barbershop that treats the visit as more than a transaction. You can book online and pick your barber, or walk in and wait; regulars do both. One reviewer put the Turkish part plainly:
“Very nice cut. Quick but also pays attention to detail. Trained in Turkey as a barber and the Turkish definitely know hair. Highly recommend and will definitely come back.”
The shop is on Rice Street in the heart of the Grove; current opening hours are on the contact page and in the footer below.
