Decent mens hairdressers in Carlow

Irish Guitarist

I've just gotten a terrible haircut with random bits of hair shorter or longer than other bits. One part of my fringe was left twice as long as the rest of it. I won't say what hairdressers I got it cut. There's not much I can do about it now but I was wondering where's the best hairdressers for my next haircut? I like it relatively short, but not shaved.

Linda Marer's is were I get my hair cut...Seem's to do the job, but if you aren't a fan of girly hairdresser's, that barber's at shamrock plaza does a good job (Although depending on who you get from what my brother told me....)

+ 1 for O'Hara Byrnes. Plasma telly in the corner, comfortable seats and plenty to read while you wait. Wash and cut for €12. I've been going since he opened. Best barbers I've come across.

Very true. He just grunts and never talks, and just goes with what he wants to do rather than what is asked of him.

Can somebody tell me how much is the haircut in Paddy the Turkish barber? A basic one, nothing fancy. And any difference in the price during the week or is it the same every day?

Also anybody got experience with the barber near Shamrock Plaza who cuts for 7€ on Tue, Wed and Thu?

Best in the town for a no nonsense, no expensive fancy rubbish haircut.

Paddy the Turk & his staff were brilliant. The best haircut in Carlow by far.

Unfortunately the place changed hands recently. New management.

Hope they've kept on some of Paddy's old team.

Been in there recently (last 5-6 weeks) and none of the old staff seem to have been there but still have to say that they gave a decent cut but in no way as welcoming and chatty as paddy was..

This place is seriously bad. I got my haircut there twice both times by different people and it was shocking. You would be better going at your own hair with a hedge trimmers.

Believe me, its not work saving €5 to look like a freak for a month

Well then I am glad I visited Paddy the Turk yesterday. Overall I was pleased with the result. A basic haircut costs 12€ but when I asked him about the price he said "what it's worth"

I went into Ann-Marie + Tara yesterday afternoon and got the usual.Chatty and friendly as usual and very busy,which i think is a good sign .

I think no matter where you, if you go for long enough eventually you will get a bad haircut. They just can't seem to keep consistency up! I prefer O'hara Byrnes in the town, he's not very chatty and you have to fight for what you want but he is very good at what he does and is reasonably priced.

Does anyone know the guys first name in O' Hara Byrne? I've been going ages and it just occurred to me I don't know it.

I'm pretty sure it's Mick. I'm terrible with names though. I usually go there myself. Went in last weekend and he was closed for holidays. I went to the turkish guy on Tullow street instead. Haircut is fine, can't complain. Much better service in O'Hara Byrnes though. Sky sports while you wait. Wash and cut for €13. You go out feeling fresh as a daisy.

Actually I have to slightly alter what I said above I was in there yesterday and the cut and service was only average when compared to when paddy owned it.

Might try somewhere else next time based on this thread..
