Galway Men's Barbers?

Bluegrass · 03-10-2012 02:01PM #1

Looking for a good barber that's cheap enough (student). Somewhere on the westside, or near salthill. Don't want to go into the city centre cost me a fortune for being clamped parking :pac:

Define 'cheap' and 'good barber'.

Gambas · 03-10-2012 02:44PM

Barber beside Mocha Beans in Salthill is quite good, if you get the young guy. Think it is €12.

Seaneh · 03-10-2012 03:12PM

Turkish guy beside supermacs eyre square is relaly good and only a tenner.

Or the lads on cross street near the oxfam shop, again good and about €12.

House of Grafton/ Crew for me, got good haircuts there, both under €12

There's a barbers by Westside Dunnes (next-door to the hairdressers).

There's loads in Galway, yet they all get away with charging 10-15 while ones in Dublin will do it for a fiver

Guy just down from Monroes pub on Dominick St gives a good cut for €8

Fairly intuitive really. 'Good' as in does what's asked, doesn't leave you cut too short. 'Cheap', well, fairly self explanatory really.

Cheers lads, €10 or under would suit, on a budget here :pac:

The one by Westside Dunnes, anyone recommend this one? Any idea of prices?

Thanks for the replies

I'm not a woman so tend not to overthink a haircut. He's never left me looking any more gammy than usual if that's what you're asking :pac: the last time I went I did think he hadn't really taken as much off as I wanted, but that was my own fault for not saying anything really. And on the bright side I was in and out in under 10 mins.

I think it's cheapest Mon-Weds or something like that.

Well, I'd like to confirm my memory of the turkish lad beside supermacs being good.

I went there today at 5.15, out the door by 5.30 and very happy with the results.

Place is called Ali's Barber Shop.

Bluegrass · 03-10-2012 10:29PM

How much did he charge?

Seaneh · 03-10-2012 10:43PM

Tenner.

d-gal · 04-10-2012 10:04AM

Ahh, no. Headford Rd Dunnes is AKA Dunnes Terryland.

Westside is kinda west of that - and over the river!

House of grafton still open ?

markesmith · 03-05-2013 01:09AM

I like Tom Nally's place, between King's Head and Fahy Photos. He's a nice fellow, and he goes about the job with aplomb. If you know your bit of Gaeilge that's always an advantage.

Redhairedguy · 03-05-2013 02:31AM

+1 for Tom Nally's place.

Really nice atmosphere, really good haircuts.

not all shavers is it ?

Zzippy · 03-05-2013 05:00PM

As the "boss" has grown rather tired of my attempt at a beard, I'm going back reluctantly to clean shaven, but feel like a proper shave to get the current growth off - I'd probably go through a few razors doing it! Anyone got a good recommendation for a hot towel shave?

Midlife Crashes · 03-05-2013 05:05PM

Are there any good mens hairdressers in the city ???
I've been growing my hair for a while and want to keep it long.....

I had long hair for the best part of 6 years up until recently. I used Tom Nally's a few times and found them to be good. I also used the place run by the young Eastern European guys opposite the Post Office on Eglington Street (the name escapes me right now) for the last few cuts before I got sheared.
