Best limerick Barber

techireland2000 · 07-08-2008 6:11pm #1

to follow up from Jonski earlier request looking for da vinci barbers, leads me to ask , what is limericks best barber shop ? and why ?

RVN10 · 08-08-2008 5:25pm

IMO i think that Identity on the old cratloe road is one of the best . The two barbers working there are excellent and i have been going there for the last 3 years so they are def doing something right ....

Yep Identity on the old Cratloe road is really good, especially the barber there with the tattoos on his forearms, really friendly guy and gives a great cut, cannot remember his name right now though.

Also there is one on Denmark Street, Retro, that is really good also imho.

Funnily enough the two barbers are named dave but i agree the one with the tatoo's is brill but also is the other dave they both have diff styles.

retroo is pretty good on denmark st

lg123 · 08-08-2008 9:27pm

the hugo boss place on todds row is quite good, last time i was in it was €15 for the chop.

the place on denmark street with the old guy and his two sons (i think they are) is a scary place. i always end up getting the old guy and i dont want to say he is a poor barber but was never happy with a cut i got from him. they are quick and cheap though, €12.

the hackets barber on denmark street just down from the corner of todds row is very good, €18 though.

I'm another big fan of Identity. I've gone there maybe 4 times in the last year and they've always done a good job. They don't really like me though, the fact that I'm letting my hair grow long makes cutting it awkward!

I used to get a simple but effective blade cut in Patsy's (Upper William St I think) but I never liked the atmosphere in there.

techireland2000 · 09-08-2008 2:42am

guess I might as well put in my 2 cents worth.

I am a da vinci fan (now on thomas street)

new shop looks fecking great, and yes jonski it is on thomas street.

15 Euro for a city centre hair cut, not bad at all.

I live in the suburbs , would it still suit ?

Kess73 · 09-08-2008 12:40pm

which suburb?

gaf1983 · 09-08-2008 3:37pm

Been going to Modern Man on Sarsfield St for the last 12 years, mainly because I've never had any problems, friendly staff, €15 a chop - there's also a student discount. Also I'm a creature of habit and terrified of change. Though I've had a few haircuts in the barbers above a shop near Domino's Pizza by the Kilmurray Roundabout in Castletroy.

bazz26 · 09-08-2008 7:44pm

I get my hair cut in Max's out in Castletroy, across from the Castletroy Shopping Centre. The staff are very nice in there, give you a newspaper to read and a cup of tea/coffee if you want it, costs €16 for a dry cut and they run a loyalty card where your 7th hair cut is free of charge. Plenty of parking there too.

Used to go to Hacketts down by the Round House too for years, very nice in there and you get a decent hair cut. Only stopped going there as it was alot of hassle trying to get into town after work and finding parking.

zuroph · 09-08-2008 8:20pm

i like figaro on bedford row, brian has a lot of awards, and runs a good shop

techireland2000 · 10-08-2008 1:24am

guess Identity is looking like a popular choice around these parts.

am going to stick with Da Vinci's myself, good hair cut and a funny bunch of lads. didnt notice if he had a coffee machine in the new place...but they defo put a lot of effort into new look, would reckon its one of the best looking barbers in limerick at the moment,might check out identity sometime soon to see what its about also.....

So where is the best place to get a Hot Towel Shave lads?

I will second that. Nothing feels like a hot towel shave and the only one I ever got in Limerick (someplace on O Connell St years ago) was nothing like a good hot towel and shave.

Ali's Barber at the top of Thomas St is very good. Only 7euro for a haircut monday to thursday. All i ever get done is a blade 3 all over, so it does me the finest.

Iang87 · 02-04-2009 12:15pm

Hacketts, can be a bit of a **** with parking etc but excellent in there been goin there around 14 years, great spot friendly people and a fine chop chop

seany2929 · 02-04-2009 10:02pm

Used always get my haircut in Identity when i was in LIT. Its probaly the best place ive ever gotten it cut and Dave(with the tattoo's) always did a brilliant job.Nice to see other ppl have also enjoyed it as i was always very impressed:)

Great spot

kronsington · 03-04-2009 12:02pm

Stopped going to Blades years ago. It got way too expensive.
My fave is Patsi's at the top of William st. Yer man in there is great with designs/highlights.

Is this Ali barber place any good?im up for paying 7.50 instead of 15 euro but I dont want them to make a complete balls of my hair

Used to go to Rossini's, the blonde lady in there, is very good. But they always had different barbers in there and the hair-cut quality went down imo. There was a lad working there from the North, fecking legend and was a very good barber.

Go to Figaro's now.

bazz26 · 03-04-2009 8:25pm

I'm suprised nobody mentioned "God" on O'Connell St.

Liam79 · 09-04-2009 3:25pm

Garveys on Denmark St.
Ye Olde Barber kinda place

The lad in Westbury is good too

topper75 · 09-04-2009 3:39pm

coffee?
friendly?
shop looks great?
awards?
atmosphere?
styles?

I concede. There is no more place for old dinosaurs like me in this world. Goodbye manliness, tatty tabloids, and boxing posters. They have won.

I always get my hair cut in Ballyneety for 10 euro. No waiting, plenty of parking, good job

Might be a bit too far out for some of you
