Just bumping this thread , Dave who used to be in the gentry has opened up his own barbers in caherdavin sc just beside the wokking, Chops & Cuts it's called , still charging the same price one of the best barbers around.

RVN10 · 06-05-2011 10:46pm

The Hacketts (Brian and Eric iirc). Brian has won loads of awards. Basically you pay for what you get!

Real professional and €10 a cut for regulars, also theres a loyalty card in place so for every 5 cuts you get a bottle of hair product and your next cut free.

Good to see he's back open, i'll be returning to him now that he is close by again.
Barbarello's opened in his old unit in Caherdavin a few weeks back, €14 i think it was, one of the better cuts i have had and was literally only there for 10 minutes. Foreign guy cutting the hair there, no nonsense outta him and he knows what he is doing

fleabag · 16-06-2011 10:34pm

Just been going through this thread as my fella has his first job interview in 2 years next week and he needs some serious tidying.

Thinking of trying Carols due to all the recommendations but can anyone suggest somewhere to get a really good shave - he has a beard and it needs thorough renovation and modernisation for a reasonable cost.

I just know he's going to go mad at probably having to pay more than €10 for a haircut but I reckon for this it'll be worth it.

Thanks!

gavmurf89 · 25-03-2012 11:44pm

Any new favourites around the city lads?
Must get a chop tomorrow and was thinking Retro on Denmark st but am open to opinions!

naughtysmurf · 26-03-2012 12:15am

I go to Max's barber in Castletroy just off the Kilmurray roundabout, €9.50 for a basic No.2 all over, bit more for the metrosexuals who require a sissors cut

Take care of ear & nose hair too, if you sat there long enough wouldn't be surprised if they looked after your bikini line also

Pat Stapleton on O'Connell street is excellent for shaves and beard trims. He gives a proper beard trim and he does proper hot towel shaves. A lot of other barbers advertise it, but many in Limerick do little better than a man would do himself at home.

Another Pat that is excellent and I generally mention him is Pat out in Razors barbers in Thomondgate. He does very tidy jobs on beards and does a decent shave although not quite as good as Pat Stapleton does.

There is also a family member of Pat's (second Pat) working in Razors who is excellent at styling beards. Cannot remember her name but she is the only other person there. If you want to get a beard styled and have that style be both tidy and modern, then she is top notch.

Oaklands1981 · 01-08-2012 3:22pm

Where's the woman that used to work in jonnys in castletroy gone. The one with the tatts. She was sound and good . Anyone know

Don't know - She drove a white Celica, worst driver I've ever seen, nearly totalled me one day through maniac tail-gating, hope she's still with us.....

- Did Johnny ever start giving out change since, has a name for being caught short at the till!

miralize · 01-08-2012 5:54pm

Retro is still excellent!

Oaklands1981 · 01-08-2012 6:02pm

I've fining up going to jonnys such a quick staff changeover u were never sure of how u were going to come out. Then the loyalty card which seemed to be in operation one week and gone the next time you came in and yes the change thing still there

A_Sober_Paddy · 01-08-2012 7:46pm

Place in Caherdavin, think its called TC's, very good cut and is a lovely fella.

Cant understand how a business gives discounts for certain people. A business is a business. If you can give a pensioner a haircut for 10euro why can you not do it for the others. I somehow doubt they take a loss just to cater for the older generation.

Champ · 02-08-2012 5:53pm

Anyone know the opening hours of JC's?

Any pricing difference between weekdays and weekends?

I normally go to Gavin & Moore on Thomas street in Limerick city though JC's would be more convenient when I'm going to and from work.

Thanks.

The price for an adult haircut is €14 at all times, good value considering you get, imo, a very good haircut, I've being going here since it opened last year and to be honest, I wouldn't get my haircut anywhere else since he has opened. I travel from the opposite side of the city to go there. Good barbers are hard to come by but these two are excellent in my opinion.

Saturday hours are 9-6 I think and they're closed on Sundays.

Champ · 03-08-2012 7:02pm

Alright went to JC's based on the positive boards review.
Got a very good haircut at a good price.

They're definitely a nice option from the normal budget or expensive places available in city centre.

Garvey's is €10, but can be very hit and miss.
J.C's is €14, but seems to be getting great review, I found them very good.

Yes it is on the pricey side of barber prices.
However there is a reason why the place is always jammers

06-08-2012 12:07am

someone recommend me a decent haircut for 10 euro i think that fair in town in limerick please

peckerhead · 06-08-2012 9:35am

Ali's Barber, top of Thomas Street (opp. the funeral home). €10 Mon-Thurs.
Or print off their voucher and get it for €7.

Best cutter IMO is the fair-haired Polish lady in her mid-40s.

She is good. Had my hair cut by a guy I presume is Ali himself and twas grand too.

No cleanliness issues I could see?
It's like in the cheapest petrol thread where once a fortnight someone insinuates there's something not quite right about a particular station's petrol because it's a cent cheaper than somewhere else.

karlitob · 07-08-2012 11:00pm

Lads,

the best barber in Limerick is Stephen Hayes in Retro Man in Denmark Street. I travel all the way down from Dublin to get my hair cut by him. And he's great craic to chat to.

I've been to everyone in Limerick - he's the best. Great price too - €14

Naturally I don't come down to Limerick only to cut my hair - thats quite possibly the most ridiculous and stupidest thing I ever heard. Only an idiot could think that.
