Fantastic experience: Parking can be a challenge but once you overcome this minor inconvenience you are in for a treat. I had a Chatty Barber (sorry I don't remember his name). We had a great conversation about the World Cup and I was so engrossed that I was literally stunned to realise that my hair cut was complete and was exactly as I had asked for. It was my first time there so sometimes it takes a Barber a few cuts to get it exactly right. Well this was right on the first visit

Fantastic experience: Best Barber in Dublin tbh. Sheena is amazing, friendly, experienced and professional. Prices are very reasonable always a welcome when you go in. 10/10.

Friendly Budgies Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just a pleasure experience from the moment I walked in. It was Danny that cut my hair, and he chatted to me the whole time. Once he found out what type of cut that I wanted, he just set to work, and talking me through it the whole time, so I knew I was in good hands. I also witnessed a female barber cutting another client's hair while I was there and observed this person also having a very pleasant experience. I have to say that I was more than happy when leaving this premises and would fully recommend it to anyone who wants a quality haircut done in a very friendly atmosphere by very friendly professional staff.

Joseph Fogarty Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Date was 16/03/24, I was heading out that evening and it was approx 5.15 pm and was very few barbers open. Haircut that takea about 6-8 minutes cost €17, it was advertised so no complaints there and I had no other opinions in the area. Girl who cut my hair asked was it a scissors cut on tip, I said yes. Back and sides were with a blade. Initially on first look in the mirror looked OK. After a shower I could see how uneven the cut was, both on top and back and sides. Hair sticking up and generally bad quality. Would not recommend this place ever

Positive experience: I've gotten my haircut done here before always got a good haircut of them but about a month ago I got my haircut by one of the staff I think he's Polish but I wanted my haircut done right and he kept arguing with me all the time while he was cutting my hair the other chap than diddnt charge me for the haircut but in future if I go there again I won't go in if that polish guy is in not after that experience but other than that it's a good place for a cut.
