The Prince: Reviews
Negative experience: Staff grumpy and unfriendly wouldn't return
Fantastic experience: best of Sligo, especially for Barber Paulo, great professional
Fantastic experience: It was really amazing the service offered! Paulo did really well! He's a fantastic person! Thx million lads!
Negative experience: I am writing my first negative review, the barber who works at the place at the end on the right could not cut my hair as I asked even after I showed him the video of the desired haircut twice. I won't even mention that I waited for him to finish smoking. A most unpleasant experience.
Negative experience: Bunch of butchers
Negative experience: The guy who cut my son's hair was fabulous and top notch! Really happy with the result and he is such a delightful person. Five stars for you! ✨ However, the (I assume) manager was the rudest person Ive encountered in a long time. Got very upset because we didn't have cash even though the poor barber said Revolut is fine and he quoted us €18. The rude fella looked at us like we are trash and said for us it's €20. - There are better ways to deal with clients. Seriously. I don't know if your man was having a rough day, but sir, we did NOT deserve your attitude.
Fantastic experience: Great job by the master, I had my hair short, my review is 5 stars
Negative experience: Not the best.
Fantastic experience: Great service I'll definitely go back.
Negative experience: I went to get a low skin fade and instead he gave me a very high skin fade without telling me, I do not recommend it.
Positive experience: Ahmed - haircut and a show. Custom cut advised well. Paid 20€. I was there off-peak. YMMV
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in Ireland. All the barbers are outstanding professionals with great experience. They are very welcoming and friendly. Attention to detail and great customer care. I recommend it. 10/10. I personally cut my hair with Ali and Ahmed. They are the best.

Fantastic experience: Great barber, very thorough and great attention to details. Ali and his staff are always really friendly. I now found my regular baber and would recommend it to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Another amazing experience here, treated like a prince from the moment I go in here, ALWAYS!! Ahmad is an amazing barber, he's not only a barber but he is a serious stylist, his attention to detail is remarkable and such an absolute gent. Wouldn't trust anyone else to touch my hair before my speaker engagements, thank you for styling me yet again to look good on the stage
Fantastic experience: Ali is the best barber around for beard trims. He is top class and couldn't recommend him enough. I can't seem to find anyone as good around where I live in Greystones so whenever I'm home in Sligo I always get the beard sharpened up and I'm never disappointed.
Fantastic experience: I have never come across a barber who so obviously enjoys his work. Exceptional haircut... attention to detail was first class... i looked ruffasfuck when i arrived and he did a great job!
Fantastic experience: Best barbers around. 10/10. Always greeted friendly and always a great haircut. Very detailed and best beard trim around. Great service by Ali and all at The Prince. Couldn’t recommend more. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and great communication regards what you want. Ahmad stands out as an excellent barber and always goes the extra mile to ensure you are happy and receive the highest standards of haircut. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I was highly impressed with Ali who paid a lot of attention to detail with my husband's hair. Check it out. A great cut. Will be back
Fantastic experience: My two sons and I went to get our haircuts yesterday and their attention to detail and service was top class. I will definitely be going back and would have no hesitations in recommending them to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I apologize for being rude in my last review I didn't know the barber was sick. I will definitely come for a haircut next time. Sorry about that!

Fantastic experience: Best barbers in sligo Town.
Fantastic experience: First time here today Have to say one of the best skin fades and beard trims I have ever had in a long time Very perfessional Will be back for sure Thanks
Negative experience: Terrible. Very uneven cut and very noticeable. Would not recommend as it was 20euro for a terrible fade
Negative experience: Definitely not worth €20. Other barbers do as good a job for €13 in town.
Fantastic experience: I have known Caleb Cox now for over 18 months. Every since my first haircut with him I keep going back. He has come such a long way since when he gave me my first fade and stuck with him since then. Caleb will make sure every cut is given the time and care it needs as well as great craic and chat always a good laugh and conversation. He can anything from high to mid fades to tapers to burst fades. He is a magician when it comes to hair it’s ridiculous how good he is. If your in Sligo or even visting and need a trim go to Prince and ask for Caleb you won’t be disappointed the guy is the Messi of Haircuts. Not enough words to describe how good his service and customer skills are. Highly highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great barbers would really recommend, make you feel welcome when you walk in the door, I went to Caleb Cox in their and haven’t looked back since. By far best haircut I’ve ever had, has definitely knocked atleast 10 years off me, even the wife and kids didn’t recognise me when I got home, the Misses thought I was Brad Pitt coming to the door. He’s a talented young fella that’s definitely going places I can see him running the place in the next few months.
Fantastic experience: Caleb cox great barber always 100 percent what ya ask for every time ya go In. I’d highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Top class service
Fantastic experience: Very impressed by 'The Prince'. Agne was customer focused, professional and produced one of the best hair cuts I've had in a long time. Highly recommend.
Negative experience: Formerly great barbers but I'm sorry to say that they've lost their way. Haircuts are now a rush job and that old attention to detail and artistry seems to be gone. A real shame.
Negative experience: Poor haircut at Dublin prices. Completely overpriced and nothing special. Cut wasn’t great and at €20 I was expecting something good.
Negative experience: Booked in advance for 3:30 and the guy started my hair cut at 4:30. I came from office to get it done and got late. No professionalism for slightly higher price 20 euro for dry cut. "Just replying to comments below, I did not requested professionalism certification from you as I was not the one who provided professional service. I walked in the morning and I was told today is busy and we are not taking walk ins (fair enough and appointment agreed was 3:30) I was few minutes late due to parking issue but I found 02 people ahead of me in the queue (if I was few minutes earlier as you mentioned then probably I would had to wait more than one hour) and it took an hour to get to my turn. you are right, one text msg and one minute call but probably it is not too bad after getting late for one hour and I never asked privacy. Because of this delay, I requested service provider if he could do it little fast. I apologized for that interruption and after the cut said thank you for the service 3 times at minimum. Now look at your rude reply for my comment for delayed service which is absolutely correct. Apparently you replied to other person review in same way who pointed out something to you. reviews are for improvement I suppose. You just want all good reviews (of course many people had good experience). Lastly, I would never come to your service either.
Fantastic experience: Best Barber in Sligo
Negative experience: The haircut was ok. But certainly not worth the €20 price. Same quality of service provided by other barbers in the area for half the price. Dublin prices in Sligo just doesn't fit. Also, the cash only policy doesn't fit with modern times and smells suspiciously like establishment avoiding pay correct tax.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, professional and friendly service. Recommended highly.
Fantastic experience: Nice work ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Positive experience: very good barbers. A little more expensive than others but worth the extra for their quality of work.
Fantastic experience: Top quality service .
Negative experience: Asked for mullet but got a fade instead.
Fantastic experience: Excellent barbers very skilled at their profession good value for money
Fantastic experience: Sunny is a great hairstylist, give you full attention and consider customer satisfaction while doing your hair cut. He got good skills not only for haircut and beared as well. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Best haircut I've ever had but you do pay for it, quite expensive..
Fantastic experience: Top class barber
Fantastic experience: Clean nice people and professional
Fantastic experience: Great staff , professional
Fantastic experience: Prefect haircut
Positive experience: Good , nice staff
Positive experience: Gražu,švaru, dirba savo amato meistrai
Negative experience: Absolutely brutal. 1. Didn’t appear to speak any English. 2. Unable to cut hair. 3. Did everything he was asked not to do. When asked to stop, kept going. Randomly cut a lump out of the back of my hair. Cut both sides completely different shapes and length. Left one long bit on the top. Absolutely shocking. Had to go to a real barbershop afterwards. New barber couldn’t stop laughing at damage done or that someone that bad could be allowed to cut hair. Ended up having to shave my head. AVOID.
Negative experience: Not great for kids,
