Just thought I would mention that in case anyone was looking for him and wondered where he had gone. He is what I would call a professional barbour; never rushes the job or doesn't give you anything less than a top class haircut. This is only my opinion,of course, and my requirements probably don't test his abilities too much but I've seen the loyal following of customers who have stuck with him for years. This surely is a true measure of how good he is.

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!

They have got four barbours cutting hair here and it's just as well cause it can be a tad busy. It…read moreis an advantage if like me you are an impatient bugger that you can see how many punters are waiting as they sit around inside the front windows. Nice environment to go into as well since they re-modelled the place it's much more light and airy. pick your time and you can get in, get quick trim and away, no problem. Some of the lads cutting hair can get distracted to other more pressing matters (i.e. what won the two thirty at Newmarket!!!) with a resulting slow down in the whole process. Thus only 4 stars even though their work is up to scratch!

I've dabbled with a fair few barbers in Belfast but I've never really found the place for me, that…read moreis until now! 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!

A few years ago a friend of ours was celebrating his birthday. He always plans alternative events…read moreto celebrate and so we were expecting something out of the ordinary. Anyway he landed to our house quite early on the Saturday of his birthday and instructed us to get into his car. Next thing we knew we were in the Turkish Barber Shop on High Street in Bangor. Now, obviously I am a girl and have no need to be there but I enjoyed watching as the boys had the treat of a hot towel shave. My fella had never had this done before but the Turkish man that works there assured him he would enjoy it. Sharpening his blade he got started. The boys loved the experience and said their skin tingled afterwards. The best part for me was when the barber dipped little sticks into something flammable, lit the buggers and wafted them around the ears of the fellas to burn off the little hairs. The birthday treat was well worth it and we then went out for a nice breakfast. The guys in the barbers were really nice and they had a steady hand thank goodness. If you fancy treating yourself and you are a boy my fella highly recommends this Turkish barbers.

I was seated and my haircut started before the man previous had put his jacket on and his payment was taken while he immediately began cutting my hair. The scene can only be described as a haircut from the looney toons, there was no careful combing and choosing the length to snip, he was attacking it like he was roughly cutting a hedge with a pair of hedge cutters with hair flying up in the air. Not only did he manage to turn a 'trim' into a massacre he also left it uneven with visible chunks on the left side, and was very impolite and unprofessional. I would be hesitant for anyone who goes to get a hot shave if he does that with the same haste. I advise the barber to go back to cutting pizzas, something he may find himself more capable at. Least people at the wedding will have a laugh! Always got to look at the silver lining.
