    Hi Lads,

    I know these threads pop up fairly often, but I haven't seen one too recently and I didn't want to bring one back from the dead.
    I'm looking for a new barber to go to in Limerick, doesn't have to be city centre.
    All recommendations greatly received!

    Best for trimming beards? Find a lot of places hit and miss

    If it's a short beard and only need tidying up then I've found Retro Barber good, good hair cut too. Need to find somewhere that's good with long beards though.

    +1 for Oscars. All sound staff too. I love their blackboard system. Wish all barbers would adopt that system.

    Just write your name on the blackboard when you walk in so you and the barber knows whos next. Saves a lot of awkward/dirty looks and faffing about.

    Theyre one of the most expensive in town if not they most but you get a very nice cut and the beer helps too 😁

    You get what you pay for to be honest and all the lads are sound in there. Wouldnt trust any other barber to cut my hair.

    I've had good cuts in Figaro's and Retro barbers, several times each.
