Fantastic experience: Brought my son into max’s. Great cut to start and absolutely delighted with the service, the barber was very caring and attentive to him and dealt very well with a young boy who moves around a lot. Created a very comfortable atmosphere will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: A really efficient service and I couldn’t be happier with my haircut. I was only waiting 10 minutes despite it’s being so busy, also the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend!

Harmandeep Singh Published on Google 3 months ago

Negative experience: Only good if you’re a 5-year-old or a grandpa who doesn’t care what’s happening on their head. I showed them what I wanted and somehow they did the COMPLETE opposite Like how do you mess it up that bad?? Zero listening skills. Zero vibe. Zero talent. If you actually care about your hair, don’t even risk it. Save yourself. Don’t go. ✂️

Hello Harmandeep, i was disappointed to see your review on Google. When you are in the vicinity again and need a haircut, please make yourself known to me and I will discuss. We take great pride in the quality of our haircuts and our team members are very experienced. I would like the opportunity to put this right for you. thanks, Ena

Christy O Grady Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at this barbers. I chanced this place in a rush to get a haircut with a family event later in the day, and although it was very busy I was able to sit in a chair 15 mins later. The barber was very friendly and I was delighted with the resulting haircut. Pricewise I could make no complaints with the overall service. Will be back regularly.

Joseph Fitzgibbon Published on Google 4 months ago

Negative experience: If they Can’t manage a small queue, how can they manage to cut hair properly!!! Patiently waited over 15 minutes, with only 1 guy waiting before me while the 2 barbers saw everyone waiting and coming in the door. When I was next in the queue and the only person waiting after about 15 minutes into waiting , an ignorant man in his 50s comes in and skips the queue before me without any booking. The 2 barbers who saw me waiting for 15 mins & saw the ignorant man in his 50s just walk in and skip the queue, said nothing. I couldn’t be bothered arguing or pointing out the obvious, therefore I just walked out & wont go back if they can’t even manage a small queue, I wouldn’t trust them to cut hair!

Hi Joseph, I understand your frustration. On the day in question, I was not there and I had not spoken to the team about how to handle rude customers who jump the queue - Its not something that happens often. We take great prine in our work and our team are all experienced barbers. Please call in when you are next in Limerick. thanks Ena

Seana McElhinney Published on Google 6 months ago

Negative experience: I couldn’t believe that I was turned away because I am a woman. This was told to by a woman. Ive been going to barbers for over 10years and this was a first for me. I have had my hair cut there in the past and they had done a fine job but that was about a year ago and I decided to try them again as my regular place was closed. I even explained that I didn’t want a hairdresser but an actual barber due to the style that I prefer barbers are just better at it in general. I guess a 1-2 high fade and trim off the top is beyond their capabilities. What an absolute disgrace.

Hi Seana, Thank you for your review. We are sorry you were upset by your experience. To clarify, we are a men’s barbershop and have never offered women’s haircuts as part of our regular services. On rare occasions in the past, individual barbers may have looked after friends or personal contacts, which may have led to some confusion, and we apologise for that.

Our business is structured around providing men’s barbering services only, and no offence was intended. We are sorry for the disappointment caused.
Thanks Ena

Hi Shane, we do like you! - I was not there on the evening in question and given the times that you have provided, we should have been able to complete the job. I am sorry that this has happened. Please make yourself know to me the next time you are in the area. thanks, Ena.

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for the last 10 years at least, staff are always friendly and always get a good cut 10/10

Eimear Walshe Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great barbers. I go there as I have short hair and was sick of paying €60 at the hairdresser, when I can go to the Barbers and get the same cut for 1/3 the price. The cut is always superior to what I got at the hairdressers. The staff are friendly. Parking is not an issue. The place is always busy. The longest wait I had was a half hour, which was no big deal as it's walk-in only. I keep going back.

Suraj Panigrahi Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: I would NOT recommend this place if you are looking for a decent haircut. I went for a beard trimming and beard shaping, I was charged €15. However, the original price was €10. Reason cited was that the barber spent a bit more time. All the barbers are ladies. The lady at the counter wasn't very polite and seemed a bit racist. Below average quality of service. The barbers don't spend enough time in cutting hair. The barber couldn't get the fade right. For full haircut+ Beard trimming: €27 Better go for Nas Barber or other barbers in the city. Never coming back.

Lloyd Horgan Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Have had my hair cut by most of the ladies working here and I must say each and every one of you are exceptional at what you do. Today and on a number of previous visits, I had my hair cut by Shirley. I just want to note how genuinely kind and encouraging Shirley is. A truly authentic and down to earth individual. Each time I have come in for a haircut, I always leave feeling uplifted and in a great mood. Shirley always goes above and beyond to not only cut your hair the exact way you want it but she always has such kind and encouraging words to offer and she also gives fantastic life advice haha. Thank you Shirley for making my day that bit brighter today. Wishing you all the best ladies and I will see ye again soon!

Jack Walsh Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: I asked for a very small bit off the top as it's quite thin and the lady cutting my hair cut it shorter than I've ever had it, even though I reminded her twice during the haircut. She completely ignored what I asked for and said it was too long. It's also the most I've paid for a hair cut. I'm really disappointed and I won't be returning.

Richard Published on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: Went in asking for just a tidy up and a tiny bit off the top, she hacked away at my hair with the thinning scissors and basically cut off all my fringe, not only that but the sides were cut all uneven, it's going to take ages to regrow. Will absolutely never go back again.

Negative experience: Went in for a skin fade, left with a Goatee! Genuinely upset, nice woman but I don’t know how someone can screw up that bad. Haircut itself was okay, but I have to grow back my beard now, and it cost me €18 with a student discount…
