    Will a barber shave your head completely bald with a cut throat razor and how much will this cost about?
    Whatever about the best there is no doubt that there are far too many barbers in town.

    Just back from Johnny's in Castletroy. Usually go to Figaro but he's a good bit cheaper, got the same quality cut for €16, it looks great. He knows his stuff and there's good banter in there with the lads. He told me to add him on Twitter, it's https://twitter.com/JohnnytheBaBa for anyone who's interested.

    I'd go for either JC's or DaVinci's - never had a problem with either

    You'd have to pay me to go to Modern Man again - terrible service

    the recommendations that were made for the raheen dooradoyle area are pretty dated now, and from reading the thread it seems the main recommendation may no longer be in the area but moved out to caherdavin..

    so, any current recommendations in teh dooradoyle raheen area? Working in the ind estate and my usual place has decided to close down

    Where was your usual place, Goodfellas The Gentry is/was nearest, but 18euro.
    Barberellos - couldn't listen to one of the people working there, but that was ages ago. They weren't far off goodfellas pricewise the last time I was there.

    Got a grand haircut in town yesterday for 10euro. The clientele made it look like a queue for the methadone clinic though. I won't name names, not the business's fault.

    Goodfellas The Gentry handiest for ya so, if you don't mind 18euro. I never had reason to fault them, although my style needs wouldn't be exactly be pushing any barber to the limit like.. :D

    Lack of parking counts against barberellos imo.

    There is a new place in the crescent near Connollys. No idea of price etc.

    I'm a dope - the name of the place I was thinking of is the Gentry. They just have their signs done in that "Godfather" font so I keep calling them Goodfellas. Goodfellas is in the town, never been there.

    It's the Gentry, over the spar in ballycummin, that I was saying is closest.
    I'll just go back there and edit my posts :o

    Just want to reiterate this place guys.

    Got a very dodgy cut from a place in town (from a usually reliable place) and on way back into work decided to pop into Johnny's to see if they could fix it. They did and for no charge (only wanted me to mention them on twitter which I made sure I did) - needless to say they will be getting my money from now on.

    As mentioned above, the lads seem to have good craic in there too.

    JC's....James Corless, he used to work in Blades on Thomas Street/Foxes Bow afaik, got my haircut there once, very tidy job!!

    Anyone seen Dave Gillespie around these days?

    I used to get my haircut off him in blades, always done a tidy job. I would only go to him or the turkish fella whose name I always forget. Both really nice guys and very good at their job! I might consider trying James's place out in Caherdavin, even though its the other side of town for me but looks far more reasonable than Blades, which is 18 euro a go!

    Is it me or is there an increase in barber shops in the last year or so in Limerick? How do they all make any money out of it?

    Dave Gillespie working in Goodfellas in foxes bow/or by punches , still for me the best barber to be honest.

    Another +1 for Johnnys in Castletroy, got a lovely haircut for the respectable 16 euro compared to 22 euro for figaro's - will be going back. Johnny used to work for Hacketts in Rossini's so has the training to back him up!
