Any fellow gingers reading this will know that no matter how good the filter is there's no fixing or photo shopping a wild untamed ginger mop of hair! So with this in mind I visited Karina's Gentleman's Barbers Shop, not my usual barber but she was recommended by a particularly well groomed friend of mine. I have to say I was not disappointed! The Barber shop is tucked away in one of Bangor's alley ways that leads you from High Street to Holborn Avenue Car Park and this location creates a cosy feel to Karina's. This cosy feel is further enhanced on entrance to the shop, there's comfortable seating, a good selection of GQ magazines and my personal favourite touch, help yourself tea and coffee making facilities. I think the tea and coffee making facilities make you feel comfortable and a warm cuppa certainly helps pass the time if you're waiting to hop in the chair. One thing that I found remarkable about Karina is that she knew almost all her customers by their first name and in some cases even knew their wives first names - she really exercises the dying art of personal customer service! Karina was working alone when I visited but this didn't really impact the service I received. Karina gave me the perfect haircut and some great chat to boot and all for £12.50. Definitely worth every single penny! If you like no nonsense barbers without all the pomp and ceremony I would give it a go!

Since I moved to Ireland years ago, I noticed that EVERY town and village has like a billion…read morehairdressers and barbers, and Dundalk is no exception. I'm pretty territorial when it comes to getting a haircut, not because I'm fussy about my hair given that it's nowhere near as Hasselhoff-esque as I would wish it was, but because I like the consistency of the same good quality cut. That's why I like Grafters Barbers. Since I moved to Dundalk this has been my go-to place - I'm always super-satisfied with my barber D, and I have never ever had to wait to get seated more than a few seconds thanks to the fact that this shop is open 7 days a week including Sundays! Awesome down-to-Earth barbers, always super clean and comfortable studio, very affordable and located right in the heart of the town. It's actually even literally opposite the Panama Cafe as well, which can come in handy during the winter months. Really do recommend Grafters Barbers - always a pleasant + super-quick visit!

Anyway - the guys that work here are all friendly and they all get along extremely well with each other and their customers. It is always very clean and well maintained, with two TVs tuned to SkySports. I'm sure there's other barbers that are pretty good in the town - but since I started coming here I've never felt compelled to go elsewhere. I usually go to Rob, he's a good dude and is quick with the shears. Always has a story and laugh so it makes a trip to Rory's a good little visit instead of a chore for a mundane task like a haircut. No complaints here, can only encourage you to give Rory's Barbers a go.

Being a ginger as soon as my hair gets over a certain length it starts to glow and become a ginger fro so I need to keep it trimmed and until now I haven't had a barber who did such a good job in sheering it down as James at Skinny Isaac's. Before I get in to the cut itself, I must mention the decor and set up at SI's. The place oozes suave sophistication. The black and white tiled floor is a throwback to old school barber shops yet the wall murals and ornamental guitars create a modern feel. They've clearly taken a look back at everything that was good about traditional barbering and added the new modern modern twists to improve their craft. There's an airy feel to the second floor premises, sun light bathes the studio creating a really nice environment to relax in. One thing to note is that you'll have to make an appointment at SI's. They will be booked up mist days so make sure you call first thing to see if you can get a slot. They are also open Monday's (during Queens term time) which is a bonus. A haircut will set you back £16 - an absolute bargain once you experience the attention to detail each barber puts in to their work. All in all a five star service and a top notch hair cut. I won't be going anywhere else in the future!
