Dublin’s Grooming Rooms
Barbers in Dublin have taken a step up in recent years. It’s rare to find a Barbers in Dublin City Centre that doesn’t give you a beer or Whiskey along with your hair cut.
Barbers these days and Grooming Room are something more than a conveyor belt barber, it’s a place where a guy can go to while away an afternoon with a beer or coffee and have a chat with someone they can shoot the breeze with.
Grooming Rooms: The Difference.
The process of the actual haircut or wet shave is an accompaniment to an afternoons pleasure, there are many fine barbers in Dublin where you can go to kick back for a few hours and pamper yourself.
You’ll find a great selection of grooming treatments which will include a traditional Wet Shave somewhere on its list!
The vibe in these places is great, a real sense of Old World charm in an otherwise out of control world with people from every walk of life conversing and generally kicking back.
As is obvious, Men looking after themselves is something which is now the norm, and as such there is a great selection of places where a man can go in Dublin to relax, converse and get a haircut and a wet shave.
This is by no means a “Top 17.5 random haircuts to get before you die and make your life seem insufficient, wait till you see number 11” (We’re sick of those too) or a complete list of Grooming Rooms in Dublin, more a run down of places that we’ve actually been to and experienced. View it more as a selection of places in Dublin that are doing it right, with minimal pretentious overtones and a fair price for a great service, you’ll fit right in.

Headcase Barbers
Headcase Barbers is actually a UK chain that has recently opened up in Dublin, although we’re not a fan of chains (Starbucks be gone) this place is actually really cool and slick and the barbers are top class local lads and gals. With glowing 5 star reviews on Google maps, you can rest assured that you’ll get a good mop chop if you’re out in Ranelagh.
We actually stock some of our products there too so you’ll be able to grab some Manly Stuff shaving gear!
BARBIERE:
A new kid on the block in some ways, Barbiere aims to bring a sophisticated and laid back Italian barbershop experience to the men of Ireland, offering Irish guys a taste of Italian male grooming.
Putting a modern twist on a traditional Italian barbers Barbiere, aims to bring some ‘dolce vita’ to the streets of Dublin.
Barbiere owner Enny Buono learned his Italian barbering craft from his father in Naples and his skills go back four generations of Neapolitan barbers. The Barbiere style is all encompassing – pompadours and skin fades are all well and good, but if that’s all your barber can do then it doesn’t leave much room for individuality. Nobody wants a city full of guys who look the same! The guys use iPads as a visual aid to really get an idea of what a client is trying to achieve and to ensure that once the razor comes out, everyone knows where it’s going to lead.
The interiors of the Barber Shop are based on contemporary Italian style, exposed brick walls, burnt orange tones reminiscent of Roman and Tuscan buildings and natural leather textures with clean masculine lines comprise the interiors. A bespoke orange vespa on the wall and the complimentary Lavazza coffee are firm favourites of the Barbiere clientele.
Barbiere is a very plush place where a truely modern gentlemen can go to experience a fantastic grooming experience. A very special grooming room.
