Fantastic experience: Called in today for a haircut and beard trim. Excellent service and a friendly staff best barbers around. Nice chatting today Omar. See you again soon. Cheers

Fantastic experience: Omar welcomes you and instantly puts you at ease. He gets what you want and how you want and gets to work. I didn't need appointment and was seen straight away. However if you did have to wait it shouldn't be a problem with comfy sofas (easy wipe down) to relax in this clean, modern COVID COMPLIANT area. He's quick but don't let that put you off as you wouldn't leave til you felt it was right. Great value, good craic and deserves a more central premises but find this hidden gem and you won't be disappointed. Literally 30 yards up the bank from 3tuns and right next door to Bay of Bengal. Found my new barber from here on in. Neil not William as shown on Google screen name. May 2023 After long period of illness Omar has knocked it out the park again and made me forget that I was ever ill. New premises are amazing too. He won't disappoint.

Fantastic experience: Best barbers in north east hands down. Quality cut and beard trim every time. Would definitely recommend mate’s barbers to anyone.

Negative experience: Don't got to this Barber's unless you want to get scalped!! AVOID!! Asked the barber for a short back and sides up to where my usual blend is (just above my ears) and he took it all the way up my head and even shaved my crown off. Also asked for a trim on top confirming the right amount of length to remove and he continued to ignore me and got a bit 'scissor happy' removing most of my hair, when it was NOT what I asked for! It will take me months to grow this back now, so I'm fuming, not sure what the mans name was but he had a shaved head and a beard. NOT HAPPY!

Fantastic experience: Top quality barbers. Friendly staff and great service. Best haircut i have had in ages. I will definently be back

Fantastic experience: Super professional and an excellent cut and beard shave. Good craic as well and can tell he loves his job. Thank you.
