    Nice barber, decent hair cut but very pricey, €14 last time I was there. You're better off heading into town!

    Last time someone I knew went into the barbers in Belfield they had to shave their own head after it was so bad.

    So ya reckon I should stay away from the one on campus so? Anywhere close enough to the college that does a decent haircut for something like 10 or 12 euro?

    Actually, if someone could set up a GOOD and cheap womens hairdresser on campus it'd be great!

    I've been to the campus one loads of times and it's always been fine. And I would've considered €14 to be about standard for a haircut. Not sure I'd trust this €6 place.

    They fail to understand the words 'not too short'. The sign of an inexperienced barber/hairdresser is one afraid to cut off too little. UCD barber threads the line in a way that often leads to a hit and miss haircut; that being said, you pay for what you get

    Not sure why you're +1ing me since I basically said the opposite of what you said, but OK :D

    Is it really €14 for a haircut on campus? I was there just before the summer exams and don't remember it being that expensive. The young lad who works there is an absolute hero. I walked by the barber's door one day and all I heard was "What's the bleedin' stooooooorey bud!"

    The young Irish guy who runs the barber in the sports centre is very skilled.
    As was said, it's an expensive hair cut and he's very chatty(a good attribute imo).

    Asking someone to 'not cut your hair too short' is like asking someone how long is a piece of string. Whats too short? For some a 1 blade on the side is too short, for others the mere sight of a razor appearing rather than a scissors immediately constitutes too short.
    If you go into the lads in the sports center and tell them what you want you'll get a grand haircut, go in and tell them you 'just want a bit off the sides and top' and you're taking the exact same risk as you would in any other barbers!
