    It's ok, competent without being anything special. Barbers seem to vary from excellent to disinterested. Dry cut is €15 I think. The main advantage for me is the late and Sunday opening.

    Had my last cut in Vilma's Barbers in Tyrellstown, only €10 and they did a great job.

    I've a bog standard haircut by the way, so it shouldn't be difficult for any barber to do, but in practice it does vary from place to place.

    They ****ed mine up. Made it too short. That's my main problem with barbers, I like my hair a bit longer than the 2 back and sides that most of them do.
    Any recommendations?

    Just be very clear up front about what you want before they make their first cut.

    every clippers has 3 grades on it , so if you ask for a 2 ask if they can do a fully open 2 clippers cut, or ask for a long 2 clippers cut! if they dont know what your talking about, they should be a barber :)

    you could be very clear precise on what you want done, but most of the times they'll just go ahead do what they want to do or do something relatively close to what they were only thought to do. my problem with most barbers is they only know how to do certain type of cuts like a clippers back and side and scissors on top, or a blade all over or what ever!! most of them have no creativity when it come to hair cuts
