Haircut styles

DylanII

I wouldn't go near a peter marks, they are generally useless.

I went to Toni & Guy in Dundrum before Christmas. I look a lot better than when I do just pay €12 at my usual barbers. The style suited me a lot better than I had before.

My only regret was just not taking a photo while it was fresh. I went back to my barber this time and he wasnt able to replicate it.

I think it was €50.

Just shave it all off. It will save you time and money.

You get what you pay for really.

The only problem I have with my current style is that 3 weeks is about the max I can go between cuts. I get the back and sides cut pretty tight and left a bit longer on top and side shaded.

The problem is when the sides and back grow it loses the look.

Yea I have to keep the sides tight too or it just starts to look messy.

A shaved head isn't for or doesn't suit everyone.

very particualr with the owld hair. live in a small town where the only barbers are the 9euro ones. We've got Peter Marks and few high end ones like that but you'd never see a guy near them.

Always end up getting a crappy haircut and it takes about 2 weeks before iam happy with it again. They do not know how to shape hair unless it involves a electric hair trimmer with blade2. Spend some time in the Uk and have got my hair cut there a few times when visiting. Usually costs about 30-50pound and the quality is top class. They only use a sissors and takes a good hour. Perfection.

Irish hair cut = some foreginer who doesnt talk and just keeps chopping like hell. Hate when they get out the hair thinner/chomper. bloody ruins it.

An Irish haircut is done by a foreigner.

Yes, that makes sense... :pac:

I went into a hair dressers in Maynooth once and the woman didn't understand a word I said. I had to count out on my fingers what blade I wanted. In hindsight I should really have walked out there and then.

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.

That's where I go and its the same rate as any good barber. £10 if you're not a student etc. I'd guess prices are similar everywhere.

There's a great barbers on the corner in Malahide village. It's got lodes of framed pics & an olde-worlde barber chair in the window ; the place is downstairs so no prying eyes!! They used have a sign in the window ; " we fix e5 haircuts!!!" classic!
Popular spot!

Huh?

There's no way you get Toni and Guy for anywhere near 10 euro.

Am I misreading your post?

I went to get their price list and realised the place I go to is called Guy & Girl... I've only started going recently and always thought it was Toni & Guy!!

What do you ask for?

Is it really worth going to Toni & Guy for a short back and sides for instance?

Will the barber or hairdresser there consult you with what would work best?

Or do you get the same haircut regardless?

I cut my own hair, 6 back and sides and scissor cut on top so I don't feel it's too short to wear out the following day.
I do this every 6 weeks or so and save €12 each time (also do a far better cut than my old barber does, the local hairdresser was far better than the barber but stopped giving mens' cuts)

I know I'm a girl but I have a quiff kind of style so I go to the Waldorf Barbers in Dublin and its amazing. They really know their hairstyles. Yes they specialise in old school haircuts but they do pretty much everything. They take their time and do things properly. My last cut was €29. So worth it.

I can see how a woman might spend that amount but what do you be getting done that it costs you £50.

Does she do student haircuts for €7?

I'm guessing I was talking to the exact same person, seen as how a similar situation happened to me last friday.

No idea. It was two years ago at this stage.

It was the place across from Bradys. Just to the right of the bike shop. Can't remember what the name of it is. There's also a music shop beside it. That's all assuming that those shops are still there :P.

Thats a Grafton Barber afaik, they are pretty popular and are popping up more frequently now.

They are essentially a salon for men. I went to college in the IFSC and went into one of these for a haircut one day a big oblivious to what they were. Your man in fairness did a stellar job, but it was nothing revolutionary, I've had the same haircut since I was 14.

At the till the bill was €25 and I asked him was he having a laugh.

If your into that sort of thing all well and good I guess. Probably more benefit if you have long enough hair where you want some mad styling. But any barber worth their salt will be able to wield a scissors correctly and do the basic styles you see, and cost about €10 max.

Personally I went through a phase where it was a different barber every month. Like genuinelly, I had gone to approximately 40+ barbers around Dublin to try get somewhere I liked. I have thick hair, and seemingly its difficult to work with. But I only ever get a tight back and sides and trim on top. But never the less a barber would always **** it up.

Coincidentally enough I started going out with the misses, her two sisters were hairdressers. Remember complaining one night about barbers and she said she'd cut it , see if I was happy.

So now get my haircut whenever I need, few quid, and its always spot on. Funny enough going to get it cut tonight, and I'm wondering if I should freak her out by asking for something different
