Cranium

Super haircut
Friendly staff
Decent price

I cant rate this place highly enough. I only had 20 minutes to spare and usually if I go to get my haircut I could be waiting this length before I get seen to so to be able to walk in, get my haircut and leave with enough time to buy a paper is a real treat. The staff are friendly and will speak to you as long as you want. They have such a large customer base, including students who can benefit from a student discount at £8 a hair cut. You also get a loyalty card which gives you a free haircut after your 10^th one. The place is fresh and stylish. The music is up-​to-​date and the experience, though short was very pleasant and I will definately be back.

Cranium is a small gents barbers situated on the Stranmillis Road in South Belfast. It is attached to a Womens hair salon and the staff swap and change between the two stores. This has its advantages. Whilst some barbers might be quite restricted in their talents which might only stretch to using an electric razor, the staff at cranium are fully trained to cater to both men and women.
In terms of price it can be pretty expensive if all your looking for is a trim, with a standard hair cut costing £11. However, there is a 25% discount for students which is a fantastic incentive for the large student community around the area.
Personally, I’m not totally blown away by the services they provide. On one occasion when I’d forgotten my student card, paying £11 for a quick trim was comparable to giving away a kidney for a packet of crisps (slight over-​exaggeration…).
