David’s Barber Shop

Davids has been around for years and every time I go there, it’s usually because I have no other choice. It’s like many of the barber shops in North Belfast. Most of the guys around here will have shaved heads or the infamous short back and sides so that’s pretty much all their used to doing. This means when I walk around and they ask me what I want, its usually an epic shock to their systems that I don’t just want them to whip out the electric razor and go at it. This means they usually don’t know what their doing and leave looking like a complete unbelievable fool and paid around £9 for the privilege. A real pity, I thought it was going to be a little different from the other local barbers.

My husband uses this barber shop quite frequently — when I remind him to go and get his ‘mop chopped’ — as it starts to get quite unruly and boys will be boys. Although actually, he is quite vain when it comes to that so he will usually pop straight in to David’s and never has to wait very long to be seen. There is an easygoing, down to earth atmosphere in this local barbers, and the owner is a friendly guy who always has a smile and a cheerful comment to his customers. It’s well situated on the main Antrim Road, and although parking isn’t the best what with the main thoroughfare outside, it is handy enough to get to if you park in one of the nearby side streets.
