Came down today to get a haircut before I go on my holidays & was served by Mark. Fantastic haircut & an absolute gent. Will definitely be back again!

I was passing through Kilkenny for a wedding. I booked an appointment with Mark to get a haircut that would do the bride and groom proud. I was completely satisfied with the service and quality. Thank you, Mark. C’est magnifique
