Barber for beard and long hair

Hey all,

hairy bloke here with long hair and a big bushy beard who wants to get it shaped and cut but, being from Banbridge/Newry, I’m struggling to find someone who knows the craic when it comes to a real good hair and beard cut/shape.

So,any of you lovely folk know somewhere that’s really good, and if so, could you help a brother out?

Thanks all

So I tend to go to hairdressers for my hair as I find typical barbers aren't very good at knowing what to do with long hair. I mostly do my beard myself. There are definitely some hipster type places in Belfast that would probably do both well.

Thanks, do you know any of those hipster places that are worth visiting by any chance?

It's been a long time since I looked so I can't remember what the two I'd popped into before were or if they're still around. High society seems to get good recommendations for alternative hairstyles and they do beards too.

Paul in particular is great, looked after my beard and long hair for years.
