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

    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.

    He cuts my hair the way I want, he charges a normal price for it, and he's great craic to chat to.

    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.

    Haha seriously mate!! I can see you edited the post at 23.56 (a full hour after you originally posted it) to remove the word "just" and then posted this at 23.57!!
    So no, I didn't add any of my own embellishments!!

    Edit.... Also if you read post #100 where I quoted you, the "just" is in your original post!!

    I can see where you edited your earlier post too. Now, either you're trying to wind people up or you're just flat out lying. Don't post in this thread again.

    Can I ask is there anyone in particular in JC's that you guys recommend?

    Himself normally goes to Figaro's but he usually just walks in on a Saturday and ends up with one of the women (as he never books the lads) and more often than not comes out with a not-so-great hair cut. Plus he pays €22 odd for it which is mad anyway so I'm trying to find somewhere better for him.

    Both the lads in JC's are excellent, I've had both cut my hair and both did an excellent job. James would be more experienced but Darragh is just as good imo.

    I went there once with a Groupon voucher and wasn't that impressed. The woman who cut my hair chatted away throughout to her friend who'd dropped in, and took over half-an-hour for a cut that shoulda lasted 10-15mins max. And it wasn't a great cut, I was snipping "missed bits" of it myself a week later... maybe I got her on a bad day.

    I went to Johnnys or Maxs a few years ago, can't remember which one it was but anyway, they used to give a discount for students. As I was sitting getting my haircut, a traveller went up the pay, the following conversation took place.

    Traveller: Student boss.
    Barber: Have you student I.D?
    T: No boss, I forgot it.
    B: I can't give you the discount without I.D.
    T: I swear I'm a student.
    B: Where are you a student?
    T: In UL.
    B: What course are you studying?
    T: The sums boss.
    B: Go away you chancer.

    Que, the whole place erupted, it was the funniest conversation I ever heard.

    Got to hand it to the girl in "modern man" today myself, no idea of her name but I was telling her the place was getting quite a name for itself as the place to go and told her have a look in on this thread.

    I''ve been to many barbers over the years in Limerick, but for €15 and a good cut, where other barbers charge €25 for same, I couldn't argue anyway!

    I need a haircut and I'll probably get it done tomorrow. I've no problems with my current barber but part of me is tempted to check out some place new. #firstworldproblems :pac:

    :D Gas. I must say though that Mr. Hayes certainly knows his stuff and he is a funny man.

    I drop in there for shaving supplies. (Proraso)
