Positive experience: Considering the cost of living is much higher in “Boston”,I get my haircut for €17. In “Portland”, however, it costs €25—and you get the same. It makes no sence.
Hi
Thank you your review.
However we're not in Boston but in Ireland where costs are rising daily.
Unfortunately we are in a shopping centre with extremely high rent, rates, service charges, vat increased, etc etc
Our staff have many many years of experience so you're paying for experience also.
Please I must add that all our prices are displayed on our booking system before you confirm your booking.
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff all very friendly and professional. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: JZ is dead sound
Fantastic experience: So much patience was shown to my son. Top class.
