What Our Customers Think

- Alex

 

"My son went in here today and got a brilliant hair cut! Mark had so much patience for him and spent a lot of time cutting his hair! I would really recommend this place! Brilliant Barber, thanks so much!" 
- Andrea

 

"Always a great haircut and a bit of craic when you go; still come up from Kilkeel to get my haircut there, so can't recommend enough!"
- Rory

@the barber

1. For Health and Safety Reasons we ask you to have your hair as clean as possible before cutting..
We use disposable hygienic neck collars around all clients necks this avoids gowns coming into contact with your skin and helps keep the loose hair away from you as well. We also finish all our Gents Cuts (if required) with a new blade each time to leave your neck line smooth.

Please ask for a quotation,for colouring,highlights,tramlines, or design work,and better still if you know what you want bring a photo or show us on your phone!;)
