No chat, and only a 2 min drive away.

Handy after you’ve been drinking.

£9 for a quick back and sides in Moor St, Soho just now. Proper job.

€13 in Roches in Baldoyle. Nice barber. Had the Arsenal game on his phone on the counter for me to watch. He plays in a Westlife Boyzone tribute band by night.

@Juhniallio is there a barber in Portmarnock?

Robbie Brady’s brother works there.

I wonder did he cut my hair.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

he probably made a mess of it and blamed somebody else

Did he give you a split back two? cc @Bandage

@Juhniallio is there a barber in Portmarnock?

Yes. There are 2. Stephen is my barber of choice. He charged me 15€ for a haircut yesterday much to my dismay. There’s fuck all to cut.

[Fagan_ODowd]

Where are they?

Stephens is beside the post office.

While it’s a relatively close crop, this style is long enough that it should only require scissors on the sides and top. You could buzz the sides at the bottom if you want a slightly more tapered or faded look, but Gosling’s is just long enough that it doesn’t need any clippers. Your barber will need to use texturizing scissors up top, too, since this style is relatively flat. Volume isn’t the goal. You can see that Gosling’s look is a little “piecey”, meaning it doesn’t flow effortlessly together. (We’ll get more into that when we discuss styling.) You’ll need roughly 2-3 inches of hair up top to pull this off, though you can also try shorter versions of it, or keep trimming the sides while you grow out the top to these specifics. The sides should be a very close cut, though, flush against the comb that your barber employs to protect your skin from the scissors.

You must be the richest barber in the UK mate

Just back from the new barbers in Grand Canal Dock (in that ridiculous tall glass building). The staff are a bit over friendly. Two lads greeted me when i walked in, one of them offered to take my jacket and then pretty much proceeded to remove it himself. Then he asked me if i’d like tea or coffee and i said “eh no, i’d like a haircut please” so we had a little chuckle. The haircut itself was very professional although he went a little over the top by using about 10 different types of scissors and razors. At the end he poured some goo on my head (which i assumed was gel) and startred rubbing it in, and kept rubbing and kept rubbing - he basically gave me a head massage for 5 mins (which i enjoyed). Then he asked if i’d like gel / wax so i enquired as to what the fook he’d just put in my hair and he said it was some type of scalp moisturiser. When he was finished he gave me a hot facecloth which i have to admit is a lot better for removing stray hairs than the dry tissues offered in most places. Given the general gayness of the place and all the little extras involved i was expecting to be charged about 40 quid but it turned out to be 15 which i thought was reasonable. In summation, the cut was of a very good quality and i highly recommend a visit. Grand Barber it’s called. The only downside is the staff are over friendly and very chatty which i don’t like but it may be just because the place is new and they’re trying to make an impression, they might settle down over time.

Anyone in the GCD area frequent this establishment? @Bandage? @Horsebox?

I used to alright, mate but stopped going there because my hair looks like shit no matter who cuts it and there are closer options to me. Staff are a bit over friendly alright but I used to always get a pretty Eastern European blonde girl who always did a good job. The other downside is it is always busy so you could end up waiting half an hour sometimes which is too long for an impatient cunt like me.
