1 year ago Negative experience: The guy didnt let me get in. He say it's for VIP customers only
Yes if you had read online or the sign on the door you would have been saved the embarrassment of being rejected! Maybe learn how to read in future and you can avoid something like this happening in the future

4 years ago Positive experience: DUBLIN PRICES!
Thanks for the review, I appreciate you feel the price is "Dublin prices" but i pride myself on my top quality service and skill that i have developed over the last 14 years in my trade! The days of €10 haircuts are in the past Sir and i would suggest you join us in the current day and prices as inflation is something you may want to look into for why costs are rising! Finally i would like to add for anyone else reading this that the review above is just for the price and no comment on the quality of the cut or service provided!

7 years ago Fantastic experience: Chill People, and Good Quality.
7 years ago Fantastic experience: Been going here for about 4 years now and the guys in there are normal af. It's like one of the lads has been watching YouTube videos on sick fades in the kitchen and making the squad look fresh for a night drinking frosty Jack's in a lidl car park. They always have music playing on a console and will let you chose a song, so long as you're not putting on girls allowed and grinding all over the seats. The banter is good and pairing that with the ability to wash the tramp out of you and have you looking as fresh as a loaf of bread coming out of a Tesco's oven makes them cooler than the other side of the pillow
7 years ago Fantastic experience: Decent
