A Welcoming and Chatty Atmosphere
Beyond the technical skills, the shop is praised for its friendly and accommodating staff. Customers frequently mention the pleasant ambiance, characterized by good background music and a relaxed vibe where barbers engage in friendly conversation, or "crack," with their clients. The team is described as charming and professional, creating a comfortable environment whether you are a regular or a first-time visitor. This welcoming attitude makes it a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike, who appreciate the personal touch and the sense of community within the shop.

Crew St. Barber: Reviews
Negative experience: Terrible
Negative experience: Absolutely terrible
Negative experience: Its was really bad not happy with the cut and the barber too disrespectful as well Not at all happy Took extra money and gave more bad cut
Fantastic experience: Best Barber ever
Fantastic experience: Great cut (Fade with a middle part and beard trim) Had Daniel he was very interactive and clearly understood how to do a good cut! He also gave me my first beard trim and explained types of trims! Thanks Daniel!
Negative experience: Got a fade. Male barber made snide remarks to a colleague about my skin condition. It happened me before a few years ago here and I thought that person was just ignorant. This is the second barber here to say this. I’ve never had this experience in any other barber or service provider before. I am now left deeply offended. He missed a few parts too and overall haircut was not good. Enough saying it was €20 and cash only. Why in 2025 you don’t accept card is beyond me but hey, I’d allow that if you didn’t make comments about something personal. Unfortunate because there’s often a female barber here and she does great haircuts. Won’t be back.
Fantastic experience: lovey barber was super patient with me as i wasn’t to sure what i wanted, the Brazilian lad that cut my hair was super good, would definitely recommend this place to anyone getting a haircut in Galway
Positive experience: taglio fatto bene, servizio veloce e efficace ma 20€ per un taglio senza shampoo è un po' troppo, considerando che è assurdo dover pagare per forza in contanti
Fantastic experience: The soundest bunch in town, they have gotten me sorted for last minute parties and gigs many times and always have me looking fresh!
Negative experience: Its like playing russian roulette except with 5 bullets instead of one. Bound for disaster.
Fantastic experience: Lovely walk-in barber shop, centrally located in Galway. Staff here are all very friendly and accommodating with requests. Nice ambiance with a good mix of background music playing while you wait or get your haircut. Have always been very happy with the final result each time I've gotten my haircut here. Would advise to bring cash as it's cash only.
Fantastic experience: Went here while visiting Galway, walked in and got the single best hairdo ♂️ within minutes! I came with a mess of a hair and googled some fotos and showed them. Really astonishing how well they are with scissors ✂️ as most barbers can only handle clippers. 5 stars ⭐️
Negative experience: Used to be a great spot for a haircut, very friendly staff. But no card machine and upping the prices now means I won’t be back in the near future.
Fantastic experience: great barbershop! I'm very pleased with how my hair was cut
Fantastic experience: Stacy the best in this place had bad experience with the rest of the barber s etc.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, consummately professional and charming and gave me an excellent beard trim and haircut
Negative experience: Atrocious fade, I asked him for a low fade with about an inch off the top, ended up giving me a high fade with the fade extremely crooked and taking almost my whole fringe up, also cut me with the razor multiple times. This guy messed me up big time I got thoroughly bullied in school the next day and when I got home I cried myself to sleep. I’m going to kill myself.
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in Galway by far, friendly staff, great prices and quality haircuts. I've been getting my hair done by Stacey for a while now and can't recommend her enough, I'm always delighted with the results :)
Fantastic experience: Very nice shop. We come from austria and love this shop.

Fantastic experience: Got a quick haircut by Alan, awesome guy, definitely love his job and passionate.
Negative experience: Absolutely atrocious "haircut" given to my son...I've never seen anything so bad. Clearly not trained. Uneven and looks like chunks were cut out with no lines followed etc. And soaked in gel after to try to cover it up. My son was so upset when he got home.
Positive experience: Female barber was really great, male barber needs some additional training and to go easy on the back of the customers neck, left it roaring red and marked.

Fantastic experience: Best in Galway
Fantastic experience: Best service, with a bit o craic!
Negative experience: I got my haircut here twice, both times I was very unpleased with my haircut. The person that was cutting my hair seemed unqualified as he was very young. When I got my haircut the barber cut off way too when I had clearly stated that I wanted it long. Also the first time I went to this barber they had taken a tip off of me without my consent having taken it from my change. Will not me going to this barbers again
