City Centre Barbers

DMC

As per topic, anyone know of any decent hair cutting establishments? And a price guide for a short back and sides?
Preferably around St. Stephens Green direction.

Cheers!

I sometimes go to Knights of the Green in the Stephen's Green Centre (Middle floor). They're by no means the cheapest - think I paid in and around €30 for a wash and cut! :eek:
They do a decent enough job - friendly staff and quick service.
Hope this helps!

Theres a place opposite the main Bank of Ireland on Baggot Street ("Baggot Street Barber Shop"?), next to the archway, upstairs. About €15.

go out from the city centre and it drops under €10.

Indeed. A bit pricey in the City Centre. I normally get mine cut (dry) in Blanchardstown on a Monday/Tuesday reduced rate day (€7) but I dont have that option since I started working in the city centre.

Still... went back to the home sod and got it cut Saturday for €10. I forgot I had ears!

The green Dolphin barber off grafton street, if you're on grafton street with shelbourne hotel on your right, its on the street on your left, and its on the left hand side of that street...sorry i dont know the name of the street....anyway €13 for dry cut, €8 weekdays before 11am if your a student, do a great job every time, been goin there for years, staff are great too....but the real reason to go is possibly the best looking girl i have ever seen in my life works there, and she's always working

She's the English girl... Well worth checking out

South Anne street...and not Shelbourne Hotel....Clarence

just back from one this minute! went to The Trinity Barber on Trinity St. cost €17.95 for a standard cut. no such thing as a dry cut there, they wash your hair too.

will try that one dubguy22 suggested next time (now that he got the direction right;) ) to check out the hot chick...and for the lower price.

There's a few (Talbot St, Gardiner St, North Fredrick St, Dorset St) that do a dry cut for €5 during the week now. Handy if like me it's just a razor on the back & sides and bit off the top.

Are the dorset st barbers any use? Was thinking its a bit too cheap, they might butcher your hair!

My 2 buddies run a place on Dorset Street. Between them they have over 30 years experience and have worked all over the world and in the high end barber shops of Dublin.

Don't let the price In these areas put you off. They are priced accordingly to the area, rents and clientele. 5 quid Mon-Wed and 10 on other days and you will get the same standard of haircut as any other shop in town. But don't expect a flat screen TV or beer while you are waiting.

The nearest that fulfils those criteria that I know of is the Waldorf on Westmoreland St. It's €15 for a student, about €17 otherwise. It's an old-fashioned barbershop and good value.

I went to Sams Barbers on Dorset st one day recently, and have to say probably wont return. Friendly enough but I was told I had to have my hair washed because of the gel (I never use much, any other barber simply sprayed water on my hair and was fine with it), he didnt take much off, said himself it was "deadly" and then charged what seemed to be a complete off the top of his head €17.

Now you might say I should have spoken up but I didnt realise how little he took off until I was home, I dont get that sorta carry on, isnt the aim to get the person back?

There's one on the South Quays too, just up from the Ha'penny Bridge (going away from O'Connell Bridge) 5 euro all week I think, been twice, happy twice - I have the same needs as yourself :cool:

Sorry to be bumping up an old thread. Another vote for Sams here.


Anybody know the name of the Polish barber working there? I want to book an appointment with him but forget his name.
Got a hair cut from him a few months back & it was one of the best I've ever had.

Dillons on Wellington Quay. A fiver and a very good cut.

Paying €15 or more is madness.

I went there last year and the main barber, let's call him Sam, cut my hair and like you I was made get a wash, even though I had no gel in it. He told me the monkey hat I wore made my hair dirty, like a fool I believed him. It cost the same price, €17, but in fairness he did give a great hair cut.

Anyways when I went for my next chop, not at Sams, I said to the stylist, I probably need a wash, as I had hair gel in. To which she replied, not at all. I explained what happened Sams and she told me he was just doing it to get more cash out of me.

So today I decided as I was in the area to go back to Sam's, I also needed a hair cut. So I went in and Sam was there working on someone else. A younger guy came out and Sam said it's ok I'll take him cause he needs a wash. wtf, how he could have presumed this is beyond me. I replied "I don't need a wash I'm here for a dry cut". To which he replied alright so. Anyways to cut a long story short the younger guy cut my hair, and to be fair he did a good job and was very nice. However when he finished he was going to let me leave the shop with spray soaked hair, I asked him would he dry it for me and honestly I seen him make faces towards Sam, as if, what does this ****er expect for an €8 hair cut. So after he dried it in didn't bother asking for a bit of gel, god forbid. Felt a bit bad not tipping mind you.

I would not recommend going there. They advertise €8 haircut Monday/Tuesday. They'll try make you get a wash to bring the cost up or treat you like a peasant for taking up their "amazing" offer!
