Where's the best place for a haircut in Dublin (city centre)?

Dublin Boy

My mate is a hairdresser and normally does my hair for me, but she is booked solid this week so I will have to find somewhere to go to get a haircut, I havn't got the money to book an appointment at the salon she works in, so will have to make do with a barber, the last time I was at a barbers at Knights Barbers in Grafton Street I was given an uneven haircut by a very rude woman. That was a last Xmas before I met my friend who does my hair, but I need to gt a decent haircut this week, as last year Xmas photos were a disaster coz of that haircut:(

I don't want to go somewhere who only know one style, are Sam's Barbers any good? The one in Temple Bar? Anywhere in the city would be helpful? Somewhere young and trendy?

...insult to other members.

In fact, we don't like it at all.

So you can have a ban.

And no, the "it was a joke" excuse won't wash here either.

The OP is only asking a question!

It's 2009 and men are allowed to care about their appearance!

Try Grafton Barbers, at the top of Grafton St. I've been going there for years and never had any hassle or dodgy haircuts.

Worked for the Grafton Barbers for years and I still go there for my haircut.

They're very good and professional.

Grafton Barbers are good alright, but my recommendation is Style Club on South William Street. Only a fiver or so more than Grafton Barbers, and it's one of the best in Dublin. Definitely matches the description of 'young and trendy'.

Thanks, I've never actually heard of them, but might try it out, especially if it's only around a fiver, I don't need to make an appointment do I?

As long as you go in at a non-peak time you could more than likely get done there and then. Yeah, men's cuts are €30 odd, and they have 20% off, so it's not much more than the Grafton Barber. It's a pretty cool place, and they have loads of male customers.

There's a very good place opposite the Luas Terminus at Connolly station.

The Grafton Barbers is good too but always very busy.

I use the Barbers Room opposite Trinity College. Have done for years. Never had a problem. 20 quid a go (for a wash and a cut) but well worth it

Shepherd's on Wicklow Street or the Waldorf on Westmorland street are both well respected, long running Dublin barbers.

There's a very good barber above the "sub" shop on North Earl Street (between Henry Street, and Talbot Street), at the Spire end.

Coriolanus

Sams Barbers are great, as are the Merchant Barbers and the Waldorf on the southside.

$30 for a haircut in Style Club seems a bit much? Sams is the most expensive of the above recs but you get a nice little neck massage and some juice or tea whatever, and it still works out cheaper than €30.
What do you get for €30 exactly?

I know I'm probably going to get a ban, but seriously mate, you're a proper fucking idiot.

yes the waldorf a fantastic place to get your haircut. Staff are superb there and its a family run business as well.

Don't know if it's true, but I was told that there's a peter marks specially for men on Baggot street, I'd say it'll be a bit pricey though:rolleyes:

ThomasCreeby

Waldorf all the way.

I wont be returning to the Grafton Barbers again. Had too many unpleasant experiences with the horde of Eastern European muppets they have began employing who couldn't give less of a f*ck about the details of what type of a haircut you'd like and just give you the default scalping they dish out to everyone.

I'm not picky about my hair all that much, I just don't like being ignored when I'm trying to specify how long I want it.
