    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!

    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 :D
    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.

    15€ for gents and 10€ for oaps he was saying

    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.

    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.

    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.
