I called Manny & Burd at opening this morning and was able to get a haircut appointment for 11:00am with Mark for my adult son that was visiting Ventura. We entered the shop and the barber that greeted us directed us to Mark. The shop has a very chill and easy-going vibe. Mark greeted us, had my son take a seat in the barber chair, asked him what he wanted and got to work. He completed the haircut in 30 minutes. I highly recommend this shop especially for men. If we ever need to book another haircut in the future, it will be here! Thank you, Mark! read more

I was visiting from out of town and I needed a last minute haircut before I started my day. I walked in and I only had to wait 10 mins to be taken care of. I was given a nice cold craft beer all while receiving a perfect hair cut. Thank you so much! I wish this level of customer service was back in my hometown. read more

Cory is amazing. He's responsive, punctual and does a great job with cuts. We've been twice now and will continue to see him.

Brought my little guy here and Cory did a fantastic job. Super friendly and cool atmosphere. They even had an arcade for my kido to play while I got my hair cut. read more

Gabby is amazing!!! I loved my cut and it was a complicated idea. She was really patient and helpful and delivered a perfect haircut!

Cory is the best barber! Pleasant, accommodating and talented with shears and razor; Manny and Burd is top notch

Great cut, I'll be going back again. Laid back and chill vibe. Would highly recommend.

Although recommended, was not pleased at all with the style. Very shaved and to short. Nice place.

Corey is amazing, when my son Derrick is in town from College this is exactly where he wants to go. He says that Corey does his hair EXACTLY how he likes it. It's a cool spot with a man cave vibe. read more

First time in to Manny and Burd's I called at 11am and was in at 12:30. Gabrielle discussed with me what I wanted, looked at pictures I had on my phone, and gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. Great service, cool vibe and VERY reasonable cost. I have no paid close to twice as much at high end salons to get cuts that weren't any better. Manny and Burd's is my barber shop now and Gabrielle is my go barber. Great job and thank you! read more

$40 for a hair cut. In and out of the chair in 20 minutes. No attention to detail or fine tuning. Can't believe this place is rated so highly. Maybe I can stop by and teach your staff how to cut hair @David M. - funny strategy talking shit to customers. Best of luck to you! read more

Very much recommend this place! It's by the beach and the shop is eclectic with vintage feel to it. Bryan is the guy that cut my hair. He's super nice and pays attention to detail when it comes to the cut. They also give complimentary beer with your hair cut too which is super cool. read more

Really nice people and a great cut. There ya go. [My favorite Bugs Bunny episode is Hair Today, Gone Tamale. I had to write that because my succinctness offended the Yelp-Bot.] read more

Mark did a fantastic job with my hair. It had been way too long and I was a shaggy mess. The vibe of the shop is awesome. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Legit men's hair styling. Mark is my guy. Good vibe and they listen and know what they're doing. Highly recommend for a guy who wants skill, a beer while your getting your hair cut, and a straightforward cool experience. read more

We always have our appointment with Mark Ackerson. He never makes my 8 year old son feel awkward or Unwelcome around a bunch of grown men for who this is their normal demographic I'm sure. He does his hair well and I've never had problems with or experienced uneven or bad haircuts. We have always gotten a Mohawk or a cleanup when we go and have only been going there for the last few months, maybe since August 2020. I like their appointment process (via text with multiple options, respond to confirm), payment process and options (Venmo accepted), and even though the place is small, clients wait outside or in their car and there are only three chairs inside with three barbers when fully staffed and they all wear masks during this time without complaint. And these guys even setup shop outside during the first shutdown to keep business going and customers happy. read more

Best barbers in town. I only trust Manny & Burd with my cuts. Definitely stop by for a cut and a brew.

I walked in a couple weeks back and made my first appointment w Gabrielle! I showed a couple of photos explaining what I liked in a men's cut and she nailed it. Excellent w scissors and created a great shape and it's growing out nicely. I will definitely be back! Best cut I've had in years. Thank you Gabrielle! Mellow vibe in the shop too! read more

I am new to the world of beards. Having the ladies requesting I grow it out has been an interesting experience. After several so-so beard trim/shapes, I finally found my Beard Guru in Mark. With his beard care tips and tricks, and encouragement, I am enjoying my beard immensely. Here's a pic of our first meeting. I envy his super beard! He miiight envy my advancing hairline mane, but I think his bald head is magnificent. Anyway, you can't go wrong with Manny & Burd. Ask for Mark. He's awesome. read more

What can I say about this excellent experience. Mark as always has done a great job with my haircut. I highly recommend this place. But it is difficult to get an appointment. read more

Great spot close to downtown Ventura. They are on Front street and offer hot towel shaves and standard haircuts. This is a great dudes spot to come in and get taken care of. If your looking for a new place to get a cut and/or shave give this place a try! read more

Manny and Burd - A gentleman's hot towel shave by Justin. - Barbers Near Me - Ventura, California

This place is great! Made a same day appointment via text and they took me in! This place was lay back with old school vibes. The guys are cool and did a great job on the clients before me. I have a lot of thick and wavy hair making it hard to get a clean cut,but Mark made it happened! If he can hook me up I'm sure he can hook you up! On a side note: There is plenty of parking and they take cards. read more

So I'm out of town for work and found Manny and Burd on yelp. They are very professional and great at cutting hair and more specifically beards. Manny was fantastic, courteous,and fit me in last minute. I have zero complaints and highly recommend this establishment. read more

Terrific barber. Great price & excellent attention to aesthetic. I stopped in while traveling, I was in bad need of a hair cut. Mark got me in his chair right away. If you are female, be warned they define themselves as cuts "for men" but don't be too fooled: While girls might not be openly invited to this barber shop they WILL leave you looking like a stone cold fox. For any ladies looking to get a short cut these men know a thing or two about glamour. Tip well & give thanks :) read more

Excellent shave with excellent staff - nothing like a complimentary morning beer to start the day...looking forward to going back when I'm in town again! Can't recommend Manny and Burd enough! read more

Mark is my guy. Talented barber/stylist who listens carefully and executes a nicely styled cut that keeps me looking fresh and feeling good. All of them are nice guys and it's also a great place to sip a beer and relax with a little barbershop conversation while you get your style on. read more

BEARD REVIEW: If you need a professional beard barber this is the place for you! No need to drive to Los Angeles for good beard trim/sculpting. Mark does amazing work and he has a beard himself so he knows what he is doing. Thank you Mark. read more

Manny and Burd is the place to go get a haircut and beard trim in Ventura County. I was a regular of this fine establishment when I lived in Ojai. Now I make it a point to grow my hair out before trips to California just so I can't stop by my go to spot. All of the guys do a great job but if I had to choose one in particular I would say Justin. He is a wizard with beard trimming and provides a fantastic cut as well. Also they have free craft beer while you are there. It's a no brainer to come here! read more

First time getting my hair and beard trimmed here. Mark got me right in, did exactly what I wanted. Been looking for a good barber and finally found it. Will definitely be back. read more

So thankful for Yelp, finding me my new Barber! Love this place! MARK took great care of me. I can't be more happier with that haircut I just got...and the beer :-) read more

Manny and Burd - So fresh and s clean clean... - Barbers Near Me - Ventura, California

As a new Ventura resident, I needed a hair place that was man friendly. I hadn't had a haircut in nearly a year, and the mop growing from my head had to go. I found Manny and Burd thanks to Yelp, and visited earlier this week. Mark confirmed my appointment via text after I called and left a message asking for an appointment. I didn't have to wait more than ten seconds after walking in the door before Mark welcomed me. I was offered a beer (local craft brew) and we talked about what I had in mind. I ended up with a good haircut and a great experience. He took the time to give me a good new style, massaged moisturizer into my beard, trimmed around my beard and sideburns, and ended with a hot shave on the back of my neck. I'll be back when I need a trim again, or I'm in the market for a hot shave. read more

Looking around Yelp for a barbershop because I was tired of not getting a barber that I could ask questions and clarify what kind of style I was trying to get. After I found this place I texted for an appointment and met with Justin, who was really awesome! After asking what I was going for and fumbling my way through an explanation, he knew exactly what I wanted and got to work with precision. It's advertised as "a shop for men", and that's exactly what you get: no crazy contraptions for the ladies that you've always seen but never knew what what they're called (or what they're for), no walking by gals getting mani/pedis, and no soap operas playing on the background. Just an awesome little shop, with really cool modern decor, and an ice cold beer while you get your hair cut. If the 5 star rating isn't enough to get you to go, let me put it to you this way: I'm a Ventura native moving to Los Angeles by the end of the year, and I'm going to drive the 1+ hours back to get my hair cut at Manny and Burd, one of the last few real barbershops around. read more

Mark never fails to make my boys and me look fantastic. Cutting my little dudes giant hair is no small feat! Get the hot shave, very cool. The adult beverages are a huge plus IMHO. read more

Mark is clutch. Fresh and clean cuts, with no BS or dilly dally. In the chair, cut and done. Just enough time to finish your beer, but you're still leaving looking fresh AF. Some other shops take twice as long for a sloppier cut. Not this place. read more

Tried out a new place and made the right choice coming here. Called for an appointment for my friend and I. We got in right away and had some great conversations. We had a lot to say about the SEASON FINALE of Game of Thrones. read more

I came to the shop on a friends recommendation and was fortunate there was an opening and I slid in. My overall impression of the place is fantastic and they make you feel like a friend the minute you walk in, just a really cool vibe. Justin has given me 2 of the best haircuts I've had in ages, he's awesome. The shop is super chill and every time I've been in there is always cool customers and the staff is always great. If these guys had a larger shop I'm sure it would become a hangout for a lot of Ventura locals. Check them out, any of the guys there will treat you right! read more

David is amazing. He takes the time to really understand what you want and blows it out of the water! Just recently started going to him. Love his work! I drive from Santa Barbara and it's worth every minute of the drive read more
