Fantastic experience: I visited Decs barbershop on Sat 19th Jan 2020 and had the pleasure of getting to meet Dec the owner and have him cut my hair. Total gentlemen and very professional in his job. Not being native to Athlone and only visiting for the weekend you are dubious about going to another Barber in case they don't do the same job as your own local and I would rate Dec's barbershop 5 stars! also his prices are very reasonable compared to some shops who I won't name but would never go back for the sheer lack of quality of the cut etc, I would have no hesitation in visiting this barbershop again when I am next in Athlone.
