Recommendation for a barber in Dublin

oxandrolone

Hello. I'm living here in Dublin for a year and a half, and I've been doing my haircuts usually at Grafton Barber. They have decent employees and I can say that I was getting good value for money (paying 9 Euro as a student). I was doing slicked back undercut for a couple of months and now I wanna change my hairstyle to sort of modern pompadour, so I wanna go to a place where I will surely get quality one. I've seen good reviews for Sam's Barber and Waldorf Barbershop, but as I am student they are a bit overpriced of me.

Furthermore, I've done a bit of a research and I saw some good comments for Barber's Room, Woxx Barbers and Bedford Stuy Barbers. Therefore, I would be very grateful if there is anyone that actually had his haircut there and wants to share his experience; so that I can choose among these.

Thanks.

P.S. I'm not native English speaker (what's probably obvious) so sorry for eventual mistakes.

The Grooming Rooms. Might be more expensive but best haircut I've ever had!

If you're willing to travel, Mark's barbers in Harmonstown is very good and has won awards. It's right beside the DART station, about 15 minutes from city centre.

I've no idea what a pompadour cut is but I'd imagine Bedford Stuy or Butcher barber would be the places for these 'trendy' cuts.

I don't think they offer a student discount (Certainly not to Grafton barber level) but something like the below:

Butcher barber - €28
Bedford Stuy - €22

My personal fave is the barber rooms but I think the other two would be more suited to what you're looking for.

If you want a pomp then the Waldorf Barbershop is the place to go. No harm in asking if they ever require models for student barbers to practice with. You might get discounted cuts.

Ok, so I went to the Barber's Room near Trinity College and I can confirm that it was huge mistake. Basically, I've entered the owner just said "hi" and continued his work, I sat down and was waiting like 10 minutes for the someone to ask me even what I am doing there. Got a haircut by some obviously eastern european girl with really bad English accent. Showed the picture of the haircut from my cellphone and at the end it wasn't even close. I wasn't cutting my hair on the top for a few months and it was perfect for this hairstyle, basically what she was required to do is to cut the sides and do some minor adjustments on the top. What she actually did was cutting the sides and the hair on the top by at least 30%. So she wasted like my complete previous month of waiting for hair to grow. Besides that, it took her like one hour for something that could be done in 20 minutes. Also, people are talking about great service, that employees are talkative and kind, and I got nothing of that. They even didn't asked me do I want coffee or tea or anything; and girl said like 3 sentences in complete hour.

In total, very very very bad experience, that besides everything cost me 18 Euro.

Don't go there!!!!!!!

Next time go to the Waldorf as already mentioned, Or to the Green Rooster, which is on fleet street and I believe the sister shop of the Waldorf,

I get my hair cut there and its a great shop, & great staff.
