    dont go near the place they dont call him the butcher of belfield for nothing, honestly speaking from personal experience would steer well clear placec is overpriced and will do a bad job on haircut

    Actually, I have to say I've never had a problem there. It's slightly expensive for a barber shop, but they do a reasonably competent job. Not to mention the fact that they're usually good enough craic.

    I used to get my hair cut there a lot, but less so recently. I tend to just get my haircut on impulse, so wherever I happen to be when the urge takes me is where I'll get it done.

    If you are looking for anything other than a full-blown scalping, steer well clear of this place.

    i came out looking like an Auschwitz survivor.

    Can't say I was too impressed with the job they did on my do. I wouldn't recommend.

    They can do an alright buzzcut, but then again so can most people.

    I go and I get scalped and then i throw a bit of gell in myself. I look like a praticularly stylish auswitz surviver

    I'm usually looking pretty slick coming out of there. I thought the price was par for the course? I get a one or two back and side and a scissors (if anything) on top, marine-style, so it's easy enough to do.

    They're fairly handy with a razor, but apart from that I'd avoid 'em.
    Fairly sky-high price too, especially for a student rate.

    Its €12 for a dry cut, the going rate is €15 elsewhere

    Now the grafton barber if you go before 12 mon-thur does it for €10 (but since Ive to get two buses, UCD is still cheaper).

    I dont do anything fancy, razor on sides and scissor on top. That, they do without problem. I was there yesterday and didnt have to wait at all.

    There are some places that charge €8 for a dry cut, at a student rate of course. And you won't look like your being shipped out to 'Nam when your finished either! :D
