We are also proud to provide more traditional top quality barbering and Hairdressing styles to our clients. and over the years we have excelled in giving the highest standard service and attention to every client that walks through the door. We have been located in the same shop for over 35 years - just one mile from Belfast City Centre. We are a cross community barber shop, which is vital for the modern day barber shop here in Belfast, with each client coming through our doors sharing the same mutual love and interest in Mod culture. However that does not mean our customers are exclusively Mods! At Sam's we still hold the same traditional values and principles that we held 35years ago when we opened; to provide our client with a high quality cut whilst ensuring that they are made to feel just at home in our shop. This is fulfilled through not only all aspects of our barbering but through the relationships built and memories created. We strive to make sure that our clients are given the A-list treatment each time they step through our doors. This is why here at Sam's we do not see ourselves as a business but one large family. This can further be observed through our longstanding location within the north Belfast community which sees a large number of local residents come through our doors. We have clients visiting us not just from Ireland but from farther afield. Through word of mouth and online it has enabled our client list to extend outside of the community to include most of the UK mainland, Spain, Germany, Vienna ,Italy and as far as continental Europe. Sam’s Barber Shop also created (Investors in Education Barbering in UK Prisons). This is our Very own tailor made course for prisoners in the UK . It has been going for 4 years and we have opened two barbershops in Northern Ireland prisons HMP Maghaberry and Hydebank wood .It is so successful that both barbershops had to be extended due to the overwhelming popularity of barbering and education at this time . The course has been taken to the next level In conjunction with the British Master Barbers. We will be moving into mainland UK in 2022 this course gives the opportunity for prisoners to gain level 2 and level 3 city & guilds qualifications
In the fast paced society we live in today we at Sam's have acknowledged this and have utilised social media to our ability on a variety of platforms including Facebook and Instagram to allow us to maintain the same pace with the fast lives of our busy clients. Not only does this allow us to keep our strong relationships with the clients around the World but also share images of cuts and encourage involvement in discussions concerning fashion, music, events and other areas of interest to them.
