Boston Barber Bars: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, quick
Fantastic experience: Amazing babrbe shop and great crew the best one zaydon Abu karam and Omar
Fantastic experience: A huge like to this place and staff in there … they all experienced
Negative experience: Don’t go here if you’re looking for quality. In and out is the operation, young lad cutting my hair was getting rushed to go faster resulting in a lousy haircut. There used to be a few decent barbers here however it seems they all work in other places now. Just not worth the €20 when there’s places like brass monkey barber in town.
There are three of us who have been working there for your years
And none of us have gone to work
Anywhere else I don’t know why you speak s like this thanks
Fantastic experience: Perfect place nice staff I love it

Negative experience: I recently got the worst haircut of my life in this shop by an unqualified and sure uncertified barber , He looks like he is learning and he was picking random costumer and chance it , he made a lot of mistakes and he was unable to correct his mistakes , he made them worse when he was trying to correct them . I wont blame him but I blame the OWNER who let unqualified people to give haircut to regular customers , he didn't care about the quality but it's all about the money , Businesses like this are destroying the barbering industry in Ireland , because they found it largely UREGULATED , which allows UNLICENSED INDIVIDUALS to operate without FORMAL TRAINING . Myself and my kids will never visit this shop again , Plenty barber shops in Carlow ,
We are so sorry for that sir you can come back and get free hair cut as compensation for our mistake
U can contact me one WhatsApp 0830333811 to book and day u want to come

Fantastic experience: I looked up Boston barbers just to check the opening hours and saw all these shocking bad reviews. They are not a good representation of what this shop is like. I get a very simple haircut so I'm always in and out. No nonsense or bullshit, just how I like it. The services provided here are always good in my view. Don't be put off by bad reviews, something tells me there's something sinister behind them.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing fade cut here and couldn’t be happier with the result. The barber blended it perfectly, sharp and clean, and really paid attention to the details. The shop itself is spotless and has a great, friendly atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. You can tell they take real pride in their work and care about giving every customer the best experience. I walked out feeling fresh and confident — highly recommend this barbershop if you want a proper fade done right!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant haircut go their all the time got a skin fade blended perfectly and trim of the top with the perfect amount love the barbers so nice their only thing this is what I got love it
Positive experience: Not the worst haircut I've had, however, guideline wasn't faded on one side and I didn't realise till I got home. Wouldn't go back in a hurry.
Fantastic experience: Very quick and friendly service
Fantastic experience: Good barber and good haircut
Thanks a million
Negative experience: I took my son to this barbershop two weeks ago, and he ended up with ringworm from their filthy, unsanitized equipment. This place is a disgrace. On top of that, the staff were yelling at each other the entire time—we didn’t feel safe or welcome at all. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I will never be bringing my family here again. My name isnt steven bro what ✌️
Steven you very bad guy I fired you from the job you posted this
Negative experience: Bad service under pays staff wouldn’t recommend
Negative experience: Bad service used to be better not anymore
You welcome anytime
Negative experience: I was getting my haircut and waited and hour for the worst rushed haircut I’ve ever had in my almost 18 years of living and it costed me 18 euro never going again, do not recommend
Stephen you very bad guy I fired you from the shop and you posted this
Negative experience: terrible haircut service was atrocious i complained and they started speaking in their own language
Negative experience: I left a voicemail, could the owner or manager please call me back, I don’t want to leave a negative review, I would rather speak to someone
You can come tomorrow to the shop and ask about Ibrahim
Fantastic experience: Great job
Thanks a million
Negative experience: I wouldn't recommend anyone going to Boston barbers in fairgreen shopping center in Carlow. They made an absolute mess of my son's hair. When I complained and asked them to fix it they started talking to each other in their own language. The guy then started chopping more off my son's hair and was making it worse. Very unprofessional, I don't think they are even qualified barbers. A dog groomer would do a better job. Shocking place. Shocking staff except for the Irish lad with the blond hair , he is good, but unfortunately he wasn't there at the time.
Fantastic experience: Top class service
Thanks a million

You welcome
Negative experience: There's 4 lads 1 working rest vaping and talking and laughing at you and my hair cut was horrible never again
Fantastic experience: My hair is of the very difficult type. In this shop I found comfort and distinction in thework. I was very happy.
Negative experience: The only guy worth staying employed there is the young Irish lad. The rest aren't worth anything.. 4 chairs 4 lads but only 2 cut hair from which one is talking more than cutting. .. so really you got only 1 one guy cutting hair. What a fantastic service.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting my haircut here for the last year and a half by Josh , amazing service and never fails to give me a good trim every time
Fantastic experience: Cleanest trim I’ve gotten so far, Josh a really sound and very friendly dude, real easy to talk to aswell
Fantastic experience: Josh is a very good barber, always does the job well and keeps me entertained. Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a new barber.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, very skilled and quick service. Got a brilliant haircut from the the guy with blonde hair, very friendly also. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Been going here for a good few months now, have gotten nothing but the greatest customer service, the staff are so friendly and always have a good work ethic. The young lad has a gift and is really friendly 10/10 would recommend
Fantastic experience: Had a great haircut from Josh. Nice guy. Good place highly recommend
Negative experience: The blondy guy not friendly at all Guy the beard pretty much same attitude ,they looked that they did not wanted to be there at all very disappointed first time I never tipped
Negative experience: I’m not one to complain but this was the worse hair cut I ever had…it took 4 minutes…the young lad just wasn’t interested in his job ..it was half a hair cut for €17 …good luck Boston barbers.
I am the responsible Boston barber and I am sorry about that. I can come and correct your story for free. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: very good service, friendly staff. Yaman is very nice

Fantastic experience: The best service Very good lads
Thanks a million
Fantastic experience: I've gone there today with my son to fix the job which had been done wrong in another barber and I'm really glad I did. They listened to what I wanted and performed beautiful master fading. I love the way my son looks now and I will be back. Thank you very much!
Thanks a million
Fantastic experience: One of the best experiences I’ve ever had, great work and recommended.
Thanks a million
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and welcoming staff
Negative experience: They were late opening 30/05/24. The young lad with the cross tattoo on his neck and silver chain needs to work on his patience when correcting people on the requested cut if he's in this industry for the long term.
Hi how are you I’m the boss there Usually we open at 9:30, specifically 05/30/2024. I opened myself at 8:30, meaning an hour before the opening time. I checked the camera before responding to your comment. I don’t know what prompted you to comment like this, but thank you.!!
Fantastic experience: Best barber around I come out with exactly what I wanted every time
Welcome anytime
Fantastic experience: I had my hair cut with Niev and I am 100 % satisfied.
You are welcome anytime
Fantastic experience: Walked in, guy seated me right away, told him what I wanted, even a bit low detail on my part, and he still got it 100%, good fade, only took a small bit off the top exactly what I wanted. Quick, good and easy. Didn't catch the guys name but a pleasure. Will be back. Thanks guys.
Thank you very much
You are welcome
Fantastic experience: After trying nearly all barbers in Carlow and not getting the hair cut I liked I tried Boston barbers and got a great haircut I loved now it's the only barbers I go to and always go to the girl with the blonde hair excellent at her job great customer service always chatty and listens to what ya want done both me and my husband now go to her regular highly recommend
Thanks a million
Fantastic experience: Got my hair cut today by a girl called Natasha apart from the best fade I've ever gotten the nicest girl I've ever talked too this will be my new barbers from now on would highly recommend.
Thanks a million welcome any time
Fantastic experience: Hi visited this barbers last week and the blonde hair girl was lovely! Full of chat and always smiling! Amazing service!
Thanks
Negative experience: Firstly no welcome when walking into the barbers. So so dog ignorant rude. I mean if you are working in the public, customer service plays a BIG part. A smile goes a long way. Im genuinely still shocked with how rude the girl is in there. Never again. More interested in scrolling on her phone. So rude to my son. 13euro for less than 5 mins attention. So rushed. His usual hairdresser spends 15 to 20 minutes. Will not ever go back. And before the owner comments on this defending her, you have to be open to criticism and they all clearly need help in dealing with the public.
Hello, I am the manager at boston barber, and I work 6 days there and did not pay attention, but we are really sorry, and I will talk to the girl about that. The girl works only two days there, and I will talk to her about that. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Very good service I will back again really very good lads
Thanks
Fantastic experience: Good barber
Thanks
Negative experience: Received my haircut on March 6th, shortly before 5 o’clock. I requested a 1 on the sides and a small bit off the top, and he gave me a 1 all around in a straight line around my head and fringe. He asked if the amount of hair i wanted on top was a certain amount and, before I could even answer, he had already began cutting. He took off over an inch on top, which is not what I requested. Would strongly recommend you avoid this establishment, I expected better from a well established brand, but clearly I was wrong.
Thank you for saying the date of your arrival 06/03//2023, because I made sure 100% that what you said was incorrect, because I was in the store alone and no haircut number one came from the top. I checked the camera and no one came with that story. I don't know what prompted you to say that! !!!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and the best hair cuts in town would definitely recommend for all.
Thanks a million
Fantastic experience: Really good service, best barbers in town :)
Thanks
Fantastic experience: Excellent hairdresser and barber in Carlow. Excellence service! Cheap (15€ men's cut). In Faiegreen shopping centre, Tesco ). I'm a very difficult person to find someone who touches my hair, so here I found someone really good. Absolutely recommend! Excelente cabeleireiro e barbeiro em Carlow. Serviço de excelência! Barato ( 15€ corte homens ). No centro comercial Faiegreen, Tesco ). Eu sou uma pessoa muito complicada em encontrar alguém que me toque no cabelo, então aqui encontrei alguém muito bom. Recomendo absolutamente!
Thanks a million welcome any time
Negative experience: Never going to Boston Barbers Carlow again. You charged my 13 year old son 20 euros for a 3 min haircut. And of course it was cash only and no receipt given.!It was a lady who was working and decided to tak advantage of the situation. A total rip off and robbery! I still can't belive that you would do this to a kid. Never more!!!!!?
Hi Michelle my name is Ibrahim I am manager of Boston barbers and I was speaking to my staff,you were not charged twenty euros for your child’s hair cut,we would not charge that for an adult let alone a child it is 13 euro for a child and 15 euro for an adult, I don’t know why you felt the need to post this when this did not happen thank you for your time kind regards Ibrahim
Fantastic experience: Wonderful barber. And a high level of service
Fantastic experience: Great shop, phenomenal cuts with a high level of service, cant recommend this shop enough.
