Bullsnips Barbers - Bungalow: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Just had my first cut by Erika. Fantastic job. Will be back again.
Negative experience: Will be my first and last time. Too overrated. They wont listen to your liking even though you show pics. The worst and overpriced barber I have ever had
Fantastic experience: I can not recommend any other place in Cairns. My barber went through and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and always in conversation this man not only gave me the best hair cut I’ve had in years but made me feel like I was always meant to be at that barber shop 10/10 would recommend GET YOUR CUT HERE !!!

Fantastic experience: Just arrived from the UK last week and got recommended by the people I’m living with to go here. I don’t normally leave reviews but just have to say John (jap) was my barber and after showing him what I wanted he gave me exactly what I wanted! Super nice and friendly guy, chatting with me the whole time. Will definitely come back while I’m in Australia P.s. I also came in with my uncle and cousin. John was also great with my younger cousin, great with kids! My uncle got a great haircut from Erin who was also amazing. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in cairns, don’t be afraid to be super particular with them as they are great, really worth it
Fantastic experience: Absolute legends always friendly and have a good laugh. Really take the time to get to know their customers.

Fantastic experience: just got a haircut from Zak and I’m totally satisfied. Before I walked into the store, I looked like a Neanderthal — now I finally feel like a Homo sapiens again. Great atmosphere, friendly conversations, and an all-around positive vibe. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a great customer experience.
Fantastic experience: No nonsense, cut my hair exactly the way i wanted, made it look like i hadn't had a hair cut despite having the bulk of my hair cut down
Fantastic experience: I had a haircut by John, he gave me the best fade of my life, I really recommend!!!!
Fantastic experience: Haven't had a bad haircut here before. Never takes to long to wait and all the barbers are very good people.
Fantastic experience: Great cut by Gabriel. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I was a first time walk-in today, trying to find someone in Cairns who knows what they're doing. I was greeted warmly by a big French bloke named Nick. He sat me right down, I showed him a pic and he got started straight away. Very happy with the outcome, very happy with the service and a bit of non-PC banter. Plus I got a free stubby cooler with a nice message on the bottom for me to take home. Thanks Nick, I'll be back!
Fantastic experience: Nick thanks for your professionalism.
My pleasure Denis :)
Fantastic experience: Literally the best haircut I had in my life! I recommend this barbershop 100% :) thanks again Nicolas

Fantastic experience: Just had my hair cut by John. He was very quick and efficient. It’s taken me twelve months and various barbers to find someone who actually listened to what I wanted, will definitely be back. Thanks John for doing an excellent job!
Fantastic experience: I got my haircut with David and had an excellent experience. A neat job just as I asked for... highly recommended
Positive experience: The haircut was fine but the barber was unnecessarily rough and strangely casual about it
Hello Josh
Shane the owner here.
What was the barber’s name and was it done today
Shane
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience. I highly recommend this business and the friendly staff and will be definitely returning
Fantastic experience: These guys are amazing. Friendly, professional and skilled. Specially Nick and Alex. They are great barber. I get compliments when I get a new haircut at this place, specially after Nick has done my haircut.

Fantastic experience: First visit, very friendly staff, great service by Nic, haircut & beard, really professional & quick too but with no corners cut. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Have been using Bullsnips for 12+ months, always a fast and reliable haircut no matter who does your cut. Left the "popular" barbers in the city and didn't look back, hands down the best barbers in Cairns! Such lovely ladies and they use a hot towel at the end, what a treat :)
Fantastic experience: Always a great cut and friendly service
Thank you very much Steve for your kind words
Alex
Fantastic experience: My favourite joint
Mine too
Thanks for the 5 stars

Negative experience: Extremely embarrassed by my hair cut. Now almost 8 hours later embarrassment becomes anger. I have a very conservative hair style. As a 60 yo I have had this style for 30+ years. Not shaved with a no 1 high on each side to the left part line and then a mop top on top. Nothing can be done to salvage this embarrassment of a cut, it has to grow out, and as a professional man, who takes a sense of pride I am embarrassed and angry. Great function to go to tonight, with a hair cut looking like a wanna-be 40yo trying to look young and trendy. Just not comfortable and will not return. The lady who had been doing my cuts for the past few months was brilliant and understood what I wanted, this one was not up to it, so my hair looks like it has been done by a work experience girl.
Fantastic experience: Super quick service, great haircut at a good price and friendly barbers that'll have a laugh with you, well impressed and will be back.
Fantastic experience: The best haircut and friendly Happy birthday for Monday the 29th legend.awesome service.love your work and allways friendly

Fantastic experience: Nick did an unbelievable job. Exactly what I asked for! If anyone is wanting a good cut from someone with great experience! This is the place.
Fantastic experience: Great service and staff.
Negative experience: Paid $20 for a beard trim and wasn’t very happy with the short patch left after they took a chunk of beard under my chin
Fantastic experience: I'm always wary of getting a haircut since I like my hair to have a certain style/look. So I tend to shop around. But the women here are very experienced and I've always walked away happy.
Positive experience: Great haircuts, great barbers.
Fantastic experience: Lovely haircut
Thank you
See you next time

Thank you Cain. Alex
Positive experience: Used their services for years when the South African lady ran the business. Have been back since the new lady took over (gave her a few goes) very bad cuts. Seems from the reviews things may have changed back to the previous standards? *Went back recently and the English lady there gave a great haircut*
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service. Had head and face shave. Oil, hot towel and super close but not sore razor shave. Massaged, pores closed finished with after shave and talc. Not a single nic nor rash. Cannot recommend these lovely and highly skilled ladies enough.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to go for a hair cut. Very polite and friendly when I’m up from Adelaide again will definitely stop in
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic service will definitely be a repeat customer knew exactly what I wanted and done it perfect

Negative experience: Worst hair cut i ever had. I came here to have nice haircut before my graduation day but she ruined it. I mentioned the person clearly not to trim too much and i asked her to just shape my bread. But she made it really worst and for this worst cut she charged me $50. Waste of money and really bad service.
Fantastic experience: Alex is probably the best beard barber in Cairns!
Thank you Anthony, Alex
Fantastic experience: I go to Bullsnips regularly, I have been very happy with the hair cut and shave I usually get. The ladies are always friendly and professional. They don't have much to work with but they seem to do a great job making me look better

Fantastic experience: Went here with my partner, just the once, and the lady (didn't get her name) did a fantastic job with his hair. If he lived here, I'm sure he'd be a regular.
Fantastic experience: Great hair cut at a reasonable price. Walk ins are managed well with minimal waiting time.
Negative experience: Bizarre name for a hair salon. Do your research before y'all name your business! Would never go here as you represent a sickening part of history.
Fantastic experience: Very nice staff, good location and good service. Will be going back
Thank you Edward, we look forward to seeing you again soon, Alex

Thank you for your review, Alex
Fantastic experience: I love getting my hair cut here. Let's face it, as a bloke getting a haircut is generally an inconvenience but at Bullsnips the staff are friendly, the atmosphere relaxed and what's better I actually get a haircut that doesn't look like someone has placed a bowl on my head. I've been going here for years & I've need had a bad haircut.
Fantastic experience: Great service my son hates having his hair cut but the ladys hear treat him like a king and he absolutely loves it fresh hot towels for your face and some lollies I have been using this place every time I am.in cairns no appointment just walk in put your feet up and enjoy the experience
Positive experience: Amanda was awesome. Went above and beyond for my heads pleasure. Thanks Will be back for sure.
Thank you Hamish,you are welcome any time, Alex.
Fantastic experience: Best I've ever had
Positive experience: Won't be back. There's 2 ladies who are very good who have given great cuts in the past. Unfortunately going in is a roll of the dice as a third is pretty awful at anything more than buzzcut it seems, and asking to wait for the competent ones is apparently not an option.
Fantastic experience: Awesome service like always!
Fantastic experience: I got the haircut I wanted, no rush ,no fuss.
Fantastic experience: First timer here excellant hair cut lovely ladies, very happy. Will be back.
Thank you Rob, you are welcome anytime, Alex

Fantastic experience: I come here every month for a haircut, the ladies provide such a good service. Very traditional Very friendly too. You get a haircut, hot towel, some fancy perfume. And hair gel if wanted. Really appreciate these ladies !!
Fantastic experience: Got taken here for the first time a while back and I will be a regular now. Hard to find a good men's haircut.
Thank you James, you are always welcome at Bullsnips. Alex
