Thomas Kelly

When Thomas Kelly opened a barber shop in Castlebar, November 1932 little did he know he was starting something of a family empire, His was an unpretentious introduction to business like in an era when getting a haircut from a professional was considered an extravagance! Kelly who learned his trade in his native Dublin city, erected his red and white barbers pole over a premises at the corner of castle street (now Kelly’s Fine Gentlemen's Grooming!) and began his business!Later Thomas moved the shop a few doors down to another establishment on Castle street which is now our long standing shop, Kelly’s The Barber Rooms.

1932

Sean Kelly

1961

At the age of 13 Sean left school to help his father, Sean ran the barbershop as Thomas health declined due to illness, Even at 13 years of age the thought of running a barber shop with his father was a happier one than going to school! Sean learned well from his father. He perfected his classic style of cutting hair, a technique which is not taught in the contemporary schools of hairdressing. Furthermore Sean then passed his knowledge and skills onto his own son, John who still carries those techniques into more modern times, keeping the classic cissors into more modern times.

John Kelly

1997

Following his father’s footsteps, John took over the business full time in 1997. Due to demand and good business John expanded the shop and converted the upstairs part of the shop, adding two more chairs, work spaces and a small waiting area so they could accommodate more customers, from then they went from 3 chairs & staff to 5. Then more recently winning irish barbers of the year for 2018 & 2019. Fast forward to 2017, a shop unit on castle street became available, just a few doors from The Barber Rooms, the unit was actually the original place where his grandfather, Thomas set up kelly barbers back in 1932! It was always a dream to open another barber shop, with a more luxurious aspect so with not much hesitation Kelly’s Fine Gentlemen’s Grooming was established and here we are 3 years later, with now 7 full time barbers and a receptionist between the two barber shops!
