Best barbers in Dublin vs price

JR79

Hi

I usually go the the Grafton barbers in Arnotts, I always get a great haircut & service but at 22 euro its a bit pricey.
What I'm wondering is whats your best city centre or near by barber that does'nt cost so much thanks.

I got my hair cut there a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure it was €18 for a wash-and-cut.

Definitely the best barbers I've come across in Dublin.

Ya they are the best really, but I was there about a month ago it was 22, if it has gone down to 18 though that is better

22 for a gents haircut, are ye mad? I get mine done locally for a tenner, and they certainly do a fine job of my head!

FreudianSlippers

Sam's on Lower Ormond Quay are the best in town.

throwing money away payin 22 euro for a haircut,that is madness,did nobody tell the barbers in the city centre that we are in a recession!!

i went into a local barbers few months back as my razor broke,he gave me a 0 all over and charged me 7 euro

hearing stories of 22 euro makes me realise how much money i save by buying a 25 euro razor and doin it meself all the time you should do the same

7 quid dry cut on Qamden St. all day everyday. Turkish dude gives it the full whack of attention.

22 quid?! Should have had him examine your head while he was there.

If you want a proper haircut go to the Waldorf on Westmoreland st. It's a proper old skool barber shop great place and great haircuts. Its 18e for a cut but well worth it.

If you're just after a short back and sides with a razor well then you can get that anywhere for cheap.

I dont mind paying a bit extra for a haircut as I get really particular with how I want it cut. If I just wanted a blade cut I would go to a cheap barbers.

I go to the Bedford Stuy. Its €19.50 for a wash and cut but they are brilliant there. Take their time with the cut and actually listen to how you want it styled.

Price is irrelevant if you find a good barber. and by irrelevance I mean; my barber (small shop beside the old ice rink in phibsboro) is excellent and always only a tenner for a dry cut.

Saying you'd prefer to pay a bit more to get a better cut just means you haven't found the right barber. I use to go to a place in town, €19 everytime. Over a year ago I decided to stop and went to several different barbers and rated them on cut, price, experience and my barber above was the clear winner for me.

Hamiltonion

The Drury Barbers on Drury st (runs parallel between South William and Georges)

It's E12 midweek for a student, iirc it's E15 otherwise, nice old school barbers ran by two gents and never rushed

Off topic a little but I was in there once to organise an event (random but we wanted a shaving demonstration) and I'd never been in there before (being a girl and all) but OH MY GOD that place is so cool. It smells amazing, and it was probably the only time in my life I wished I was a guy!!!

I also know it's where my best mate goes for a treat to get his hair cut and a shave when he's in Dublin...
