Raiser · 2010-07-07 15:52:41

Hey Folks - there was a thread on this already a couple of years back with it is out of date and locked so I thought it was time for a revisit to the topic.

Got a great value haircut, the place has a great atmosphere in it, it's kinda like a traditional American barber shop!! Will definetly be going there in future!

Stopped going to figaro a while back , prices just too steep and last guy I went to thought it was acceptable to go for a cigarette before he cut my hair- stink of smoke of him and his hands = puke.

Always go there and only ever had a problem when the newbies cut my hair but they didn't last long in there. The rest of the barbers are very good. No complaints with them.

In fairness to the new poster, the barbers in the Crescent does always appear busy.

I know of three if the staff too who have all come from other well established barbers in town.

That place in the crescent is fine. What put me off the place though is the girl cutting hair in there. She is a total looper. First time I went in she wanted to tell me all about her new boyfriend, their planned weekends away and what they were going to get up too.. 2nd time she wanted to know my opinions on giving her pal a friends number. I found her totally inappropriate and downright wierd.

Anyone know is Rob still in Goodellas? I haven't seen him in a few months. I'm always the muppet in the hurry who lets the female 'barber' have a go, while everyone else waits for Keith.

JC's in Caherdavin or Davinci's on Thomas street. Usually go with Darren or Lenord in Davinci's, but never had any complaints when any of the other lads in Davinci's cut my hair.

It can take up to five years for professional qualification recognised by the London Barbers Guild.

Something like that anyway

Apologies for dragging up an old thread.
Does anybody know if Sebastian who used to work in Barbarellos in Corbally is working in any other barbers.
As far as I know he has left Barbarellos

Excellent service as always

Hi all,
A bit of an urgent request. Myself and the brother are supposed to be getting our haircuts today for my wedding but my barber is on holidays (Darren in Da Vincis). My fault, should have checked with him :rolleyes:

The brother is only in Limerick city this afternoon so I need to know a really good barber. The brother is conscious of the fact he is losing his har and will be shaving it all off after the wedding but wants one final styled cut for the wedding.

Any recommendations?
