Haircut styles

frag420

Lads,

I need advice. I have never had a definitive style to my hair. I now require one as boredof not knowing how to wear it in the morn/going out etc. It is always medium lenght. I want to wear it up if ya get me as I sometimes wear it combed down and flat and it looks lame.

So I was thinking of gettting a consultation in Dublin and then getting it cut/styled.

Can anyone recomend such a place that you have visited and were happy with. Somewhere that will take all variables such as face shape, skin tone, height etc into consideration before coming up with a solution?

Any and all help appreciated.Oh and somewhere not too expensive!!

cheers

I'm sure somewhere like Peter Mark would do this, not sure on price though but I imagine it'd be worth it.

Go to a hairdresser/barber and ask them for advice or how you could mix it up - if you're like me and you'd be nervous asking with people waiting - book an early appointment where you can speak somewhat freely - any barber worth their salt should be able to recommend a style for you - and if you have an idea yourself bring in a photo or picture of a certain style that you would like to try.

Go to Peter Mark myself and I must say they are very professional always sit you down and go through the style you want offer and advise you on what would look best,also OP if you have any style in mind just bring a picture I find this works best,
and they're not too expensive ,23 euro costs me but that's including a wash,condition and a serum she put's on it to make it less frizzy.

Anyways good luck OP

€23 is way too expensive for a haircut. What is special about their cut that gives them reason to charge so much? Sure you can wash your hair at home. You don't need to go to hairdressing college to learn how to do that.

You could probably go there for a once off, just to see what they say. If you like it then take a picture of the cut and try to write down a few specifics about it. Then find another, cheaper shop for your next cut and bring in the picture and tell them what you want done to it. No need to spend more than a tenner on it all.

The girl who cuts my hair is one of the senior stylists.That explains the price.

Anyways I have long hair you see,also it's much easier to cut a persons hair when it's damp. I only get it cut every 2 and half months or so I don't mind forking out the cash,they always do a good job.Money well spent.

Is this a male or female haircut we are referring to.
I get a great cut for 8 quid no more than that I would spend.

Angel8ie

I would just go for a top stylist in Toni and guy. You might pay more for the stylist but at least you know you'll get a good cut and you'll be able to explain it better to another (cheaper) hair stylist next time.

Yea, I'm sure Clint Eastwood goes for the 8 euro barber cut, right enough. :rolleyes:

He probably gets it cut by his missis as he's too cool to visit a salon.
Seriously though no wonder these shops have such big windows 23 euro for a male haircut it's laughable.

What exactly is the difference between a male haircut and a female haircut?

If you want to get your hair styled then you have to pay for and tbh as with everything in life you get what you pay for.

What's wrong with a guy paying 23 euro for a haircut? If he wants a fancier cut he's entitled to it. Each to their own.

Your insecurity about being "too cool" to visit a salon speaks more about you than anyone who does go.

Everything is wrong with a guy paying 23 euro for a haircut when you can get a perfectly good haircut for under a tenner,fools and their money are easily parted I guess.
I go to a salon or a barber whatever is cheaper,where I draw the line is being a male and following a celebrity trend for my haircut followed by a list of products added to my hair all of which are not needed.
I don't buy into this nonsense and get a kick out of suckers paying over the top for a haircut and thinking they are getting a better one because the salon has nice flowers at reception and the stylists use a lot of buzz words to dazzle their clients and make them feel special for 30 mins,if that's what you need from a haircut then I believe your the one carrying the torch of insecurity.

@ Sappa - You obviously didnt read the OP. What I said in it was I was looking for a style to suit me, not this seasons latest trend. If that happens to be a buzz cut then so be it. If it is a short back and sides then great but its for me and nothing to do with insecurity. I wont be changing it next yr because some celeb has a new style.

Like you said yourself I would not pay 23 euro for a haircut but I would for a consultation and a hairstlye.

Following on from this though it's okay for a woman to spend 23 euro on a haircut? What's the difference?

What products are you talking and why are they not needed? And who says that anyone who pays good money is following a celebrity trend? Perhaps they pay the extra money so that they can get a haircut that suits them uniquely?

And OP, I've used Grafton Barbers before and was very happy with them. I've also heard good reports of the barbers at junction of dame lane and trinity street but I can't remember the name.

If you genuinely think that there is no difference between a 10 euro haircut or whatever you pay and a 23 euro one then I can only guess that you've never actually paid 23 euro for one to be able to see the difference.

It's nothing to do with flowers at reception or buzzwords.

It's a better cut. If people are happy to pay for a better cut, who are you to judge?

It's a 13 euro difference,as I said I can't but laugh that people still buy into the fact that because your paying more you must be getting a better cut.
Not true at all but if your happy to keep paying over tge odds for your haircut then keep on doing it,I have some magic beans on sale too if your interested.

No it's not true that by paying 23 euro you get a better cut. However often times a better cut will cost more. 23 euro isn't even that much. You must have a heart attack when you see a wash cut and blowdry for 50+

By your logic why buy a Merc with all the extras when you can get a Panda for 10 grand. Both get you from A to B, right?

The fact that you're being so dismissive of others opinions on this thread makes it difficult to take yours seriously - especially when other posters have stated why they would consider paying that amount.

I have never paid €23 for a haircut - however my barber charges €15 which is still a high enough price - worth every penny and I will back up Awecs point - better cut.

I get a far better cut for the extra €7 - if you believe all hairdressers are the same and it makes no difference you'd be incorrect in my mind.

frag420

The Panda - The buzzcut of the motoring world.

Cheep and functional but you will never pull a bird with it!!

Sappa

Don't be ridiculous I drive a 07 320D and I payed under 10 grand for her.
I guess you guys seem to think your getting value for your cuts,why not try a 10 euro cut next time and honestly see if you notice a huge or any difference.

What's the problem there? Let him drive what he wants, hair won'y affect it. I usually pay €15 for medium length hair every month and a half or so, I would pay €23 for a new style no bother. I tend to avoid those places that give you the full aould buzz for the fiver, €7 or €8 is grand for a buzz

Forgot to mention that includes a cup of tea as well :pac:

The difference has nothing to do with the cost. It's the barber/stylist.

You're just more likley to find a good stylist working in an establishment that charges 23e instead of the midweek 6e-10e spots.

But paying 20e+ is no guarantee.

The answer is probably somewhere in the middle of the price range, try a few places out get to know a barber and stick with them.

Why not just go the whole hog, and buy a razor and do it yourself. Thats what i do. Saves me 10-12 euro every month. I go blade 9mm at back, 6 at the sides and 12 on top with a little trim on the fringe. Then i go out and break some hearts.

SirDelboy18

Barbers don't know half the techniques that their more skilled hairdressing counterparts do.

I find the barber cut is often very similar, as if they have one style and you are getting it no matter what.

Barbers are very poor with a scissors especially.

Properly can't believe someone is giving the rolleyes treatment to getting a €23 cut. They are far more skilled and the result is far better. There is simply no argument against getting the more expensive cut except ignorance and peoples insecurity.

seachto7

I agree, there are some barbers who can actually style your hair instead of just giving you a 1 or 2 back and sides and short on top.
There is a certain jarhead hairstyle you see in Ireland that you mainly only see on US marines. You would notice most young people in Ireland go for tight haircuts, not a whole lot with longer hair.
But anyways, it's all well and good going to a hair dresser and getting your hair styled. But then you wake up the next day and realise you have to keep styling it and thing "feck that", I'll just get it shaved off.............

Usually acompanied by a combed down fringe and a golden hoop earing and rolled up sleaves!!

OnTheCouch

I think 23 euros is too much for a haircut all right, but unless you are shaving the whole lot off there is a big difference in how conscientious some of the more expensive barbers are to getting everything right, not just the style. Have gone many a time to a cheaper place and been constantly irritated upon arriving home to notice many random stray hairs have been missed out by the barber.

This is the sort of response that makes me sick of so many Irish guys. Even a suggestion that you might be interested in your health, appearance or well-being provokes not just disinterest but a vaguely aggressive response as per above (capital letters, expletives etc.). It reminds me of the recent study in Cork:

"Swedish anthropologist Felicia Garcia, spent four years studying men in a Cork community affected by suicide, said such terms as “gay” and “homo” inhibit young men from expressing their feelings. She lived with a group of men for two years and said those expressions were used on a daily basis to mean everything from using an umbrella when it rains to eating a salad or anything that is nutritious. Such expressions are used to target heterosexual rather than gay people. “The boundaries of sexuality and homosexuality are being policed on a day-to-day basis. It helps socialise people into narrow identities which will further shape their lives,” she told a conference organised by the department of anthropology in NUI Maynooth. The term was used as a joke, she explained, but it served to inhibit young men from talking openly about their feelings. Ms Garcia told the conference that men from gangs she had interviewed in Venezuela were more open to talking about their feelings than the young Irish men she had talked to."

Well she was fcuked from the start trying to psycho analyse a group of Irish men,were supervious to any type of analysis.

To all who are deriding the concept of €23 haircut for a man - go to a barber and pay €8 and ask for a simple short back and sides but just using scissors and don't use the clippers at any point (this is a classic mens haircut immune to trends and fashion, think of the type of haircut that actors like Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling usually have), then go to peter mark or toni&guy or whatever and pay region €23 and ask for the same thing, and you will then see the difference.

Why would you even want to look like Ryan gosling or Reynolds,both overrated germs and gosling has to be the poster child for the metrosexuals,he is about as manly as a ken doll.
