    No, I have me own clippers..
    the point is that a business model survives that can offer haircuts for this price

    Try these guys. It's a hair dressing school where they will style / cut your hair for free or real cheap since they are students that are doing it. I think they only do this at certain times of the year, such as noe I think, depending on what stage a course is at.

    sort of the same as above, but the connaught college of hairdressing does gents cuts for a fiver.

    They're located in the building behind square eyes/subway on forster court. I get my own hair cut there for fifteen euro.

    takes a while longer though since they're not as experienced.

    Thanks. In these recessionary times I think most places are a bit overpriced for a basic haircut , for the time / skill involved ( with all due respect ).

    just posted a thread recently about hair cuts here in galway.

    terribly hard to get a good haircut and yes the prices here are higher than else where.

    saw a place in D4 that was only charging € 9 for a students cut. it looked posh too.

    like ive been charged 14-15 most times and for another € 5 i can get it cut in a salon.

    I'd like to try out one of those hair dressing schools.

    .....the search continues..

    Try Tom Nally between Shop Street and High Street. Don't know what he charges but he is great crack. The mention of football (St. Michael's) and he is up and running.

    He usually charges me 13 but I disagree about his work, I think he does a very decent haircut!

    Personally, I find Fat Tony's decent value for money.

    I paid 15 Euro at Fat Tony's, I think we can say with certainty they dont offer the cheapest haircuts in town, that being the question asked here.

    Ditto, cutting mens hair to a short style at least, shouldn't cost more than 10 Euro. In my opinion a barber could do three haircuts an hour thats 240 Euro for a 8 hour day, assuming the work comes in, even if you take of a generous 50% for overheads, tax etc thats still good money especially these days.

    That just my opinion, no disrespect to the auld barber's, yer doing a fine job lads and lasses keep it up!

    kozzys jacked up the price from 12 to 15 euro about a year back. this is a piss take when all I want is a simple short back and sides with the machine.
    in dublin you have polish and turkish barber shops. if they were in galway then the prices would come down.

    Yer man 'round the corner from Java's does 10 Euro cuts on Sundays... so unless you're seriously religious, that's a good deal.
