The Shop

A barbershop of champions, right under the city's feet.

Established in 2011, Ultimate Barbers is a tight team of highly trained, competition-winning barbers in the heart of Dublin city centre. You'll find us downstairs in the Ultimate Hair & Beauty salon, inside the GPO Shopping Arcade, a two-minute walk off Henry Street.

"We recognise every customer is special and unique, so we customise every cut to your personality and your style."

We're passionate about high-quality, genuinely affordable haircuts, and we've the trophy cabinet to back it up: multiple Irish Barber of the Year titles and a place on Team Ireland's world-championship floor. Dublin's best kept secret, and we'd like it to stay a secret you keep coming back to.

Prices

No inflated city-centre mark-up. Just skilled barbering, done properly. Walk-ins welcome when there's a free chair, but booking ahead is the safest way to guarantee your time.
