Fantastic experience: Been going regularly for a while now the shop is always very clean and nice but it's the service that keeps you coming very friendly barber and there service is always great

Eduard Turcuman Published on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a barber who actually takes pride in their craft, this is the place. The attention to detail is second to none, and the workspace is always spotless. What really sets him apart, though, is the cleanup—he’s the only barber I’ve ever been to where I can leave the chair and go straight to an event without tiny hairs clinging to my face. Professional, timely, and precise. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Never had a beard trim or a hot towel treatment before but I got a gift of a voucher from my fiancee and I'll definitely be returning! Nelki is a gent and he's extremely talented!

Steven Hayes Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had my hair cut by Alan at Nelki’s Barber in Galway, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. Alan was incredibly genuine, friendly, and clearly very passionate about his work. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and that passion really shows in the quality of the haircut. I was a bit nervous going in, as I’ve been going to the same barber for many years, but I was travelling and needed a cut. After seeing the great reviews, I decided to book with Alan — and I’m so glad I did. He made me feel comfortable right away and delivered an excellent haircut. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be suggesting Nelki’s Barber to any friends visiting Galway in the future. Alan did an amazing job — 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Walked past Nelki’s today and wasn’t planning on going in, but Nelki himself spotted me and asked where I got my haircut. Told me to come back in 30 mins and they’d tidy it up. Went back at 12 and Alan sorted me out — absolute gentleman. Cleaned it up perfectly and wouldn’t even let me pay. Top lads, unreal service. Can’t recommend them enough.
