    Any recommendations where to get a good haircut in the City Centre?
    What's the best barbers around at the moment?

    Golden Scissors is the best I've had. But you have to get it done by Ryan, the Malaysian guy. Best haircut I've ever had, but it's hard to get him.

    I find Rebels on North Main St good. Nice people & they actually listen to you as regards what sort of cut you want.

    DO NOT ever go to Goodfellas Barber Shop on Dublin Hill, unless you want to be absolutely scalped. They haven't a clue. The young one in there has no idea how to use the scalping scissors, she actually left me with a bald spot on the front. It took months to fully grow back. They do way too much talking in there and pay no attention to what they're actually doing. I know I'm not the first person to have a hatchet job done on me there. My neighbour had a similar experience.

    Goodfellas live up to their name, absolute butchers!

    I'll second this. Only been in there once but the lady cutting my hair was far more interested in asking questions about my life than actually cutting my hair, absolutely hate that. It too was a hatchet job similar to grenache's

    I'll second this. I often find when I go in there's a whole bunch of lads offering to let people skip them in the queue because they're all waiting for Ryan.

    In fairness, I've never got a bad haircut in there, no matter who's done it. there used to be a Polish girl called Magda who I thought was better but she just disappeared.

    There is a Polish girl in Ali's barber in Douglas who is very good (and also very cute!), maybe that's where she is gone?

    I've been an to king d's in Blackpool a good few times, and was never disappointed. 4 or 5 staff working on a Saturday and you wouldn't be waiting too long.

    The Grafton Barber on Princes Street is very good, not the cheapest but you will get a very good haircut.
