Great shop, no respect for customers' time. 've had great experiences at Manley in the past--which makes today's visit especially disappointing. I arrived 10 minutes early for a scheduled appointment and greeted my barber. He said he'd get to me after finishing his current client--no problem. But then nothing. No update, no "running behind," no "thanks for waiting." Just silence. After waiting 20 minutes (10 minutes past my scheduled time), I walked up to check in. He seemed surprised that I was frustrated. We've worked together before, and I've gone out of my way to book only with him. But today, he seemed completely unaware that his behavior showed a lack of respect for my time. Delays happen. But respecting your customers' time--and offering a simple heads-up--is the bare minimum. This wasn't that. read more

This place is a great place to get a haircut. Every location that I've been to has been very relaxed, friendly, and full of knowledgeable barbers. The only thing critical that I could say about it is that it is a bit pricey, but let's be honest, it's your hair. You get what you pay for. They do a great haircut, and you can pretty much get any style that you want. I would recommend this to anyone who cares about their appearance. And I'm definitely coming back. read more

BREE is absolutely fantastic. I go to her once a month. Best vibes, easiest conversation, and excellent cut. Never had "my" barber growing up but NOW I DO. read more

After a train wreck of an experience at a popular mass market retail salon franchise chain, I needed help. So, with a quiet sense of desperation driven by the fact that I would be traveling overseas the next day, I booked the first available spot online for Sunday morning. I was so disconcerted by the bad cut (it made me look like I had just been released from prison, and I was worried I no longer resembled my passport photo) that I brought my wife with me for moral support in case the folks at Manly & Son would just shrug and tell me there was nothing they could do for me. But as soon as we walked into their welcoming environment and were warmly greeted by Ernesto, the prospects for the day looked markedly brighter. Thus began "Extreme Makeover, Barbershop Edition." It took some doing, but with patience and an expert touch, Ernesto worked his magic all to a smooth, memorable playlist that only enhanced the experience. In the end, the damage was miraculously undone and I was both relieved and delighted at his artistry. We thanked him for his hospitality, genuine empathy and professionalism. All in all, 30 minutes in the chair restored my faith in a world that too often appears uncaring and chaotic. ¡Mil Gracias y Viva! read more

Went there for a moustache trim this past weekend. Work done was good but the barber overcharged me $50 for a moustache/beard trim that normally costs $40. Will not go back there ever again. read more

Ernesto killed it. I told him what I wanted which was very specific and it turned out better than i hoped for. Great fade and scissor over comb work. Will definitely be back. read more

Got a great haircut from Bree today. She's excellent, no nonsense, little bit of chitchat and boom you're done. I will definitely go back and ask for her. read more

Ernesto gave me the best haircut I've ever had. Great experience overall. Worth every penny.

Needed a haircut on vacation and I'm very grateful that I went here. Barbers are extremely friendly and know exactly what they are doing. If you are looking for a professional cut, look no place else. Ask for Gabe he does an outstanding job! read more

I called for an appointment on a whim. They were able to fit me in the same day. It was a Sunday and I was there last appoint but the service was still great quality. Didn't feel rushed at all. Very friendly vibes and attentive staff offering beverages while you wait. It's a little on the pricey side but it's Venice baby. Lame jokes aside it's in a busy area with a lot of competition so they stood out for good reason. Would definitely go back next time I'm working in the area and need a cut. read more

Dillinger the barber is a true professional and a standup gentleman. Very impressed with his straight razor shave service. Extremely thorough and methodical. Highly recommended! read more

I have lived in Los Angeles for 15 years and Gabe is the best barber I have ever met. Great vibes...better cuts

Zaven was fantastic! I didn't know what I wanted, he did. Couldn't be happier and will be going back. read more

This review has nothing to do with their haircuts, which are quite good. The one star is because no one in the store, neither barbers nor customers, wore a mask. This is their choice, but they should make it clear when people book an appointment. In retrospect, I should have walked out, but as a former service industry employee, I feel bad about canceling a reservation at the last minute. read more

Manly & Sons Barber - Barbers Near Me - Venice, California

I called them and made an appointment. I arrived 5 minutes before my appointment and mentioned my appointment. They asked me to grab a seat and wait for my appointment. I waited over 30 mins while they were talking to each other and trying to look cool. I stopped wasting my time and walked out. Seriously???? read more

Awesome experience!!! Usually I don't really like to do haircuts. Because it comes up not how I wanted, but this time it was different. Barber Olga did an amazing job. She had listened to what I asked for and did exactly how I like it. Great service. It was fast and accurate. Definitely will be doing my hair over there. Manly & Sons Barber Co. read more

Best cuts in Venice !!! Go fw em!!! Cold beers, Good music, Good vibes all around. They'll get you looking right!!! No bs.

This place cuts hair real good. I haven't had a better fade anywhere here in LA. Charlie's real good, so is everyone else.

Update to the review. The dreaded barber Kelly has now been fired. this barber shop is probably on its way back to being a great barber shop! I have nothing against the building but that barber was the worst. They have a new change of staff and kicked everyone out. It's awesome now! read more

I pass about 300 barbers on the hour journey to get to this spot. Found Charly on IG, dude knows what he's doing. 10/10 would recommend. Even though he might hate me for being a Disneyland lovin Vegan, I still know a good haircut when I see it. My wife and my sister both own their own hair salons, and even both of them say this is the best barber they've seen. He might be a flat earther, but I respect a man that stands behind his beliefs and isn't just a sheep. Go see Charly! read more

I just received one of the best haircuts I've ever had from Archy, he was so kind and I could tell he knew exactly what he was doing. I will be going back for sure read more

I was fortunate enough to get a haircut from one and the only Kirill. Truly a blessing and asset to this barbershop. Hands down the cleanest haircut I've gotten in my life and I've been to barbershops all over the country. You can see how passionate and perfectionist he's about every little detail. Highly recommend to everyone, you will not regret!!! P.S Thank You Kirill!!!! read more

Mateo and Charly are not only really good at what they do they're also my close friends. This is the spot. If you want the best haircut for the most reasonable price go here. read more

I've been in Los Angeles for 14 years and was never able to find a good barber. I'm very happy to say that after many different barbers and stylists, that I no longer have to keep looking. Kirill is the absolute best! This was my first time at the shop and when I sat down, I let Kirill know that I didn't really have any particular cut in mind, I just wanted him to make me look good. He got started right away with no questions asked. During the cut I noticed him making sure everything looked perfect multiple times and noticed him being very detail oriented. I am very happy with the cut and I am already excited to go back for my next one. Kirill has incredible skills! The shop itself is very cool as well with the old school vibes, it feels like how I imagine a barber shop should feel, great design and reading material. Awesome place, I can't wait to come back! read more

Had a great experience and a killer cut and fade with Zaven, fun hang too, I'll definitely come back

Anti Masker Barbers not vaccinated on my last two visits. I am taking my business elsewhere

I went to Manly & Sons for a haircut and beard trim. Tony Pin was the barber and he was awesome. The place was really laid out well, classic yet modern with a guys vibe. I'm very impressed and highly recommend Manly & Sons. Ask for Tony Pin, he's a master barber and on-point! read more

Outstanding barbers and environment. Trevor is a G! All the guys there are solid and they are professionals. I tip extra sometimes since it's a therapy session as well shahs. Good times here. read more

UPDATE: Someone from Manly & Sons contacted me after my review taking the feedback into consideration. If anything, I care more for a business that has no problem admitting they had a bad day and taking your feedback seriously. I gave it another try and without mentioning anything, got a great haircut, on time, a good chat with the barber Judah. I'm coming back! Apparently not a first... Made an appointment for 5.30pm and showed up perfectly on time. I had not requested a specific barber and was told I was with "so and so" and she was just finishing up. Around 5.40 she did finish up and took the next client, which was not me. I thought I might have misunderstood and that I was with the guy next to her but when he finished up, he also took another client. I left at 5.55pm. No one had talked to me or said that they were running (very) late. On my way out the guy at the counter said: yeah sorry, super busy today so we're running behind. That is something that you tell your client the moment he enters with an estimate of the wait, not when he leaves. And what is the point of an appointment anyway?! I understand that there may be walk-ins but then you'd have to tell those people in advance they will have to wait if the regular appointments show up. And honestly, running late because it's busy is really not an excuse. I was super busy all day (family, work, gym) and still showed up on time. And yeah, what I would do in such a situation is to offer a free cut or trim for the next time around... not a spoken apology. read more

After years of being very happy with the same highly respected & award winning barber who left the area, I needed to find a cut I could be happy with. I was incredibly nervous to try anyone new. I read good reviews across various platforms and decided to go with Manly. I called for an appointment and they gave me Mateo to work with. Mateo was friendly, professional, and patient with his visibly nervous client. He listened and offered advice, and I left extremely happy. Way to go Manly & Sons, and thanks for your patience Mateo! read more

I'm SO glad I found this place earlier this year. I've been meaning to write a review since our first visit - my boyfriend has thick hair that grows LIKE CRAZY. I wanted to find a barber shop that not only got the job done, but was aesthetically more his speed/style. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised!! I've accompanied him a few times and it's hit the mark every single time. We met and have worked with Judah, who has been absolutely amazing every visit, and then we met the new addition to the team, Kelly, for yesterday's appointment. This group is attentive, really listens to us and what we're looking for, and above all else, EXTREMELY kind and friendly! Kelly worked her magic yesterday (we were looking for an even shorter cut than usual because of the unbearable heat) and he was thrilled with the results! Please, if you're considering this place, hesitate no further. It's such a special experience. Luckily we won't have to wait very long to go back!! read more

I really liked the convenience and vibe of this barber shop. Zaven was personable and professional and I am very happy with the results. Will definitely be back. read more

Archie is a very skilled, attentive and thorough barber. Just had my second haircut, the best in years.

The vibe in the barbershop was awesome and relaxing! Love the offering of a beer while I wait. I also have to say I got a pretty killer haircut. However, I'm not a big fan of paying a high price for a haircut. The barber I had defiantly put in the time and effort to ensure I got what I paid for but I always find it hard to justify paying more than $50 for a haircut. read more

Zaven gave me an excellent cut and beard trim. Very precise and clean lines. Talented barber and very professional. I will definitely be back! read more

Kirill just took me in last minute and gave me an awesome cut. Very thorough working on all the different areas of my hair that grow different direction. Definitely a pro, and the beer was cold. read more

Wish I would have found this place sooner. Do yourself a favor and book a cut with Mateo. Super down to earth guy that always keeps it real. His mother was a hairdresser so the art runs in his blood. He always makes sure you're happy with the final result. The shop is always clean and has a dope vintage aesthetic. The rest of the crew is chill too, good energy in this place. read more
