An old photo shows a mural painted by Gladys Wheat, who inherited the house in 1937 and lived there until the mid-1970s.

Ihsan and Gulden Yasar have been working together at Shearlocks for 26 years. "I apprenticed for five years in Istanbul when I was a teenager. That's how I learned the tips and tricks from professionals. Here, in the United States, it's different," Ihsan Yasar said. "You learn in a classroom setting with lots of students and there's less emphasis on individualized education."
