    I don't use the city centre barbers so I can't offer any suggestions. Perhaps asking in the Region/East/Dublin City forum might garner a better response?

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    There's a Turkish one on Aungier St, it's quite small, but good. Staff in there are good for a chat.

    Think it's €12 a cut. Maybe €15 wash & cut.

    the grafton barber... havent been in a while but used to be excellent


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,125 ✭✭✭lightening


    Yeah, Grafton barbers, a little overprice, but excellent service, beer or coffee, amazing head massage and beautiful girls.

    (oh, and a haircut)

    Hey, I go to the Waldorf on Westmorland Street, having switched from the Grafton Barber, and I love it. That 50s/60s feel is superb and it makes me nostalgic, even though I'm only 18! They are pricey enough (between 16-18 euro...cant quite remember) but they give you a bang up service and give you what you ask for. A relaxing place also.

    The Grafton Barber is good but there is a lot of hype surrounding it in my opinion. Ive been about 4/5 times and found a couple of staff members to be quite rude/cocky also but thats just my experience. its a comfortable and fancy place anyway.

    Me, I would thoroughly recommend the Waldorf.

    Cheers guys..Used to go to barbers besides Doyles corner..Just drifted out of it.....Will check around now, have been to all of them bar Turkish one and Grafton...

    Was ok at the start but really depends who you get in there. Havent been back since I got an awful cut from some scroty woman. Not for €20 anyway.

    These guys are pretty good but not to popular for longer hair. Short cuts they do quite well though and €8 with student discount!

    Got a mediocre cut in there before and the price was over the top.

    The best place Ive tried in the last while is a small reggae themed place just off Camden st. beside the "Fresh" shop that used to be the big spar. Cant think of its name but the cuts are great, €14 and the guys are very professional and friendly.

    Jacks Barbers on Montague Lane.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,721 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    The Merchant Barbers in Temple Bar.
    Big red building just beside the the lane to the ha' penny bridge.

    Always do a top notch job, the guys are really sound.
    More expensive than most spots i'll give you that. €15-€20 a cut, can't remember as i haven't had a haircut in a while. :p

    Costs a bit, but you get more than what you pay for tbh.

    +1 for Sam's Barbers, good place, great staff.

    15-20 quid for a dry cut. Are ye mad?

    I use Cecils in Ringsend for a tenner, got a No.2 done recently by a foreign girl working there.
    Talk about cutting hair like a sculptor within 7 minutes, perfection! :)

    I used to go to a small barbers at Harts corner for 12quid, but they are too chatty and take too long to cut a bit of hair.

    I have started going to the Grafton Barber the last few months and I can say that it is the best barbers I have ever been to.

    €17 for a haircut with coffee or Tiger Beer and a real relaxing atmosphere and service.They put some time into each client to make sure it is a good haircut and I have found them to be the most consistent.I got fed up of paying €12 for a haircut in my local barber.Price seems to go up even during the recession and the service remains the same.In,get chopped and go home.

    If you go to The Grafton Barber,the best person to get is Stephen (I think).He is from Tyrone and gives the best haircuts and is bang on.

    I never get a tiger beer?! which grafton barber do you use?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭LovetohateTV


    Thats funny cause i always get a couple of bottles of Cobra beer in Gmale when i get my haircut, the Aisan beers must be popular with the barber industry lol.
