The nightmare of polish barber shops

unclejunior

this is the last time i will ever go to a polish barbers. these have to be the worst place to get your haircut in ireland. ive had two bad haircuts in the last 2 months and im never going back.
im wondering do they have any idea of how to cut hair since the shaved head look is so prominent in poland. have you ever had a bad experience?

AndrewJD

Have you considered the abstract possibility that the problem surrounded how you went to a bad barber rather than how you went to a Polish barber?

3rd time lucky?

I dont understand that if you went the first time and they screwed it up why did you go the second time ?

I honestly don't think I've ever been to a barber who gave me what I would consider to be a good haircut.

No sympathy for you seen as you returned to a bad hairdresser.

Also just because you went to one bad hairdresser that happened to be Polish doesn't mean that all Polish are bad hairdressers! Its like telling people you ate a bad Chinese last-night and have now come to the conclusion that all Chinese restaurants are bad.

Grow up OP

The OP already said he went to a different polish barber the second time.

Its true though, I had my haircut by a couple of different polish female barbers, luring you in with a big €5 for a dry cut sign. One time I the girl made such a balls of it I just asked her to shave the lot off.

I cant help it though every barbershop in town has them working,I actually have to go to peter mark now to get my hair cut.At least the women are nice though and you get a cup of tea

How do you know they were polish? They could have been from anywhere. Did you ask them if they held a polish passport? Sounds like your trying to start something here.

You should try the baber shop style barber shop in Blackhall - Run by nice guys - always full - occasional baber shop tune and always Chelsea on the box -

It doesn't matter really tho. It looks to me that the OP has an issue with Polish people as do a couple other that posted in my opinion. Ye only get what ye pay for lads in fairness. I personally always go to my local hairdresser(I live in a small town) that charges me €12 for my haircut. I usually give her her the €3 as a tip and never have a problem. She knows she is gonna get €15 from me so gives me a nice cut every-time. I bet if you offer the same Polish person who you say you pay €5 to, €15 she would be every-bit as good as my local one.

Adhamh

Hair is hard to cut just right in the first place, but that doesn't mean that there aren't bad barbers.

Had a Pole cut my hair, it was neither good nor bad except she was very rough with my poor scalp and not very friendly. Nothing really to do with being Polish I'd reckon.

Had a Chinese guy cut it once as well, now that was a disaster.

'Just scissor it, no blades, except to tidy up over the ears a bit', I say to him.

He squints for a bit and then runs a blade through the middle of my head. He made a really good job of it actually, and was better than what I had pictured in my head.

Get the same feeling as I mentioned in my post

seanwhite20

not quite the same but willie's barber shop in ballyfermot have a polish guy working there and he's a great barber also a sound chap

.same.

If you've got a nice looking face the hair should be easy manage, people giving out about gettin bad hair cuts always look a little rough to begin with IMO.

I get my haircut by a beautiful Polish girl who works in a Turkish barbers,and she always does a good job.

For €15 I'd expect a BJ along with the haircut.

I've had my hair cut by several Polish barbers, never had a problem. They're generally pretty hot too. And generally more polite than Irish barbers.

I wouldn't go a barber of any nationality. I get the impression that they're only for people that want a crew cut or their hair totally shaved off. I don't think I've ever seen anyone walk out of a barbers with a haircut any longer than about half an inch. That's not to say that some hairdressers aren't as bad.

I've gotten a few terrible haircuts in the last year but I think I've finally found somewhere decent now. It costs €20 but that's preferable to paying €7 for the kind of haircut that you'd get in an asylum or a concentration camp.

EDIT - I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. The concentration camp remark wasn't directed at Polish people. I just meant they had terrible haircuts in concentration camps.

I'll stop digging now.

Well thats what sets some people apart. I pay good money and I expect a good service, you pay small money you cannot actually expect the same service. Its just not the way it works. My advice is cough up a few more €'s and you wont have a problem.

As for the BJ remark, thats just childish

jive

Did you ever look at a polish persons hair? You can always tell they are Polish. I got my hair cut from this Polish one and I came out looking like a Polish lad. Never went back. Pole me once shame on you, Pole me twice shame on me.

I actually got one in a salon after getting my haircut down a Soi off WS one lunchtime. I think it might have actually been called Soi BJ.

2 heads for the price of one, bargain. One fella is complaining that pole hairdressers suck, the other is bragging that hairdressers suck pole, its hard to keep up.

I didn't know barbering was something Polish now. Haven't been near one in years. I had long hair up until the bald patch came along and just shave it myself ever since. Why people would pay someone to shave my head is completely beyond me.

I for one would not pay for you to get your hair cut, but have no problem paying for my own haircuts

Bought a really good head shaver a few years ago, saves me an absolute fortune, though I do miss the pretty Polish girls.

I found one, a most peculiar man and you have to catch him in the right mood, speaks in nothing more than grunts and rarely opens both eyes, but I'll tell you he knows how to handle a pair of scissors.

I have to say the worst haircut I ever got was from a Russian woman, and here was me thinking I was being all engaging by conversing in her native tongue, but I came out literally bleeding from the back of my neck where she took the straight razor to it. Might have had more to do with the location of the shop than the nationality though.

Fairly limiting your options there!


The best barber in my hometown is a Polish guy! (and I dont mean that in a "the rest of them are obviously terrible" kinda way)

Unfortunately for you I have never once contributed anything to the system. Not in the Irish employment system anyway. I also get the same Dole you do these days my friend and am able get by quite well on it, I can even afford the odd haircut believe it or not!!
