Casablanca on Oliver Plunkett is a personal favourite, great attention to detail and the lads in there are dead-on.

Tried it once. Loud music was head wrecking and found the barber to be very distracted. Won't be going back there. After trying most of em I found Bodrum in the English Market very good.

Is Bladez still going? No better place for a short back and sides and a read off FHM when you were 15.

+1 for Bodrum. I've been going there for the past few years, I don't get anything fancy but they're always reliable and consistent. Not the cheapest around, but you get what you pay for.

Another recommendation for Bodrum from me, been going there for years.

i was goin to bodrum for awhile and got the young guy to cut my hair as the older lad, that used to be in francos, always cuts too short. but the young guy is gone out to ballincollig now so am on the lookout aswell.

whatever you, dont go to H.Parnell beside el padrino on cook street. i went there last time as i pass it every day & curiosity got the better of me. talk about a time warp. who knew that by walking through a door that you could go back 50 years. i honestly dont know how hes still open - must own the building or something. lesson firmly learned.

the buddy swears by the karizma place on OP. i dunno though - one barber has a razor shaved head & the other has long curly hair in a ponytail

The razor shaved head is Hasan, he is one of the owners and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, he's been cutting my hair almost 10 years at this stage, the last time I got my haircut somewhere other than Karizma or by Hasan was a barbers in Boston in 2008 so I'd highly recommend to check it out, nice vibe there too.

I don't think so. She's overbearing, ill-attentive, deluded (considering how obnoxious she comes across) in her opinion of her ability/business, is somewhat unnecessarily aggressive and the place is pretty rank.

Can't say anything remotely good about the place tbh.

Tom Winters on North Main street, bit overpriced but great craic there...real "old skool" barber shop.
