Krystian Jaworski Published on Google 5 months ago

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.

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 ,

Boston Barber Bars

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.

Adam Tiem Published on Google 11 months ago

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!

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 ✌️

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.

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.

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.

Boston Barber Bars

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.!!

Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Published on Google 3 years ago

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.

Boston Barber Bars

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.

Matthew Tallon Published on Google 3 years ago

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.

Boston Barber Bars

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! !!!

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!

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!!!!!?

Boston Barber Bars

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
