Hair Salon or Barbers?

    Hi,

    I'm looking to get a new hair cut and I was wondering should I go to a salon or a barber shop?

    Being an 19 year old male, I dont usually go to salons. I have hair thats about 4" at the longes part (fringe) and one at the shortest (usually shorter, but I left it for a while)

    I havnt had my hair cut in two months, because I need I wanted to change it and wanted to give them more to work with.

    Last time I changed my hair cut it took about 4-5 cuts before I got almost what I wanted and I still dont love it that much. Thats why I was going to go to a salon and because Im not 100% sure if it would suit me/my hair type and thought a stylist would be best at that.

    But someone said to me that salons wont be as good at cutting short hair as a barber would.

    I have an idea of what I want but Im not really sure, and my barber (I've tried others) isnt great of offering suggestions, just 'trys' to do as asked.

    from my experience of working in both, go to a barber, maybe choose one thats trendy and bring a picture with you as an aid for the person cutting your hair.
    Hairdressers ( well ones ive worked with arent as adapted with sharp blends,razor work etc) Completely different techniques used. :D

    maybe someone can suggest a barber in dublin thats on trend, if ur in cork i have suggestions.

    Thanks, but its too late. I went to a toni&guy, with a photo, and they destroyed my hair. Absolutely nothing like what I asked for, it looks as if a 3 year old 'fixed' it while I was sleeping. :(

    It may be a stupid question but what are the differences between Hair Salon and Barbers?
