Our comment from BarberSpot about The Barber Shop:

Timeless Expertise and Old-School Charm

Located in Blackrock, The Barber Shop stands out as a sanctuary for traditional grooming, offering a refreshing departure from overly trendy establishments. With over 40 years of experience in the trade, barbers Derek and Noel provide a service that blends classic techniques with a modern touch. The atmosphere is consistently described as relaxed, airy, and spacious, creating a welcoming environment where clients feel at ease. Their long-standing partnership ensures that customers receive consistent, high-quality care regardless of which barber is on duty.

Skilled Cuts and Precise Attention to Detail

Negative experience: Butchered my sons hair shaved all underneath then left a bowl shaped mop at the back and said he cant fix it. Child was devastated looks like a girls bob cut from the back... would not send a dog here for a haircut and disgusting customer service from the man. Had to go to Grafton barber shop to fix and even they could not believe the terrible cut and service we got AVOID AVOID AVOID

Fantastic experience: Got a great cut here. 28/09/2022: Derek managed to make me look presentable again. I can't say whether or not beard trims are a thing again, but I came out looking fairly sharp, which is not what I came in looking like. Cost pretty good as well. Happy customer here definitely going back. It's taking me 3 years thanks to COVID, but I think I found my barber. 11/12/2024: Derek gave me a haircut and neatened up my beard. All things considered another great job.

Negative experience: Absolutely awful. My partner went here and had a horrible experience. When he got home he had clumps of hair falling out of his ponytail - he had asked for a fade on the sides. Old school barber yes, and clearly completely incompetent.

Negative experience: Extremely sad I visited them. I have long hair and hold a man bun look with the sides faded. I only requested a side fade. The sides were uneven and a large chunk of my long hair was completely chopped off while it was still tied to my head. Will have to visit my regular guy next week to fix the mess now and also potentially change my hairstyle. I deeply regret trying this place out.

Fantastic experience: Proper men's barber, 40 years in the trade yet with a modern feel. Clean, skilled with just the right amount of chat. Feels like I had been there a dozen times on my first visit. Great place, continuing to dominate Google reviews with no interest or effort in doing so except making sure their customers are happy and satisfied.
