A Nod to Legendary Boxing Heritage

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful find. Excellent barber who I'd always a joy to deal with. Great conversation with an even better haircut. I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner but it's the only barbershop for me now. Wonderful booking system so no waiting around. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Negative experience: Asked for a low fade .. leave the weight on the top.. shocking bad haircut probably the worst I’ve had.. I look like I just escaped the Gulag

Fantastic experience: Granted I don’t get my haircut too often as I’m very specific but this barber will be my go to for as long as he is open. He offers precision, craic and understanding. Pure professional work that’s well worth the price, I’d pay 50 quid just for a cut if he set it that high. This is no exaggeration on the service offered, get yourself to Sailor Sharkeys.

Fantastic experience: I booked in for a cut and style with Craig earlier this week. The booking system is brilliant and really easy to use - I'd recommend using it if you have a busy schedule. That said, the setup in Sailor Sharkeys is open and comfortable: interesting books in the waiting area, an Xbox to one side... I think I'd happily spend a chunk of my day relaxing and letting other walk-ins skip ahead of me if I had the time. On arrival, I was offered a complementary coffee and Craig was good craic and great chat. The time absolutely flew by. Needless to say, I'm more than happy with my haircut but I'm pleased by the overall experience, too. I'll be a regular from now on, no doubt about it.
