If you are in a service business, you should strive to go beyond simply being polite and genuinely help your customers. Arrived on my scheduled time for the first available stylist. The old lady asked me what type of haircut I wanted and then refused to do it. Even though I had the same haircut done by another stylist at the same place. I asked if I could get someone else to do the haircut, but she refused, saying they were too busy. I don't know how they've managed to stay in business for this long. I encourage people to avoid going to this place. This place has a bad vibe. read more

The place to Get a Cut! There's a reason why Manny's (Manny)has been a staple of the Monroe community for over 30 years! The barbers (hair stylists) have all been there for years, A place where everyone knows your name! A place people love going to to discuss/debate sports! No matter where you move to or go on vacation to when you walk into Manny' s it feels like home! So many great memories throughout the years and great people that go there from all over! The remodeling came out phenomenal! People stop in during the seasons to discuss sports, say happy holidays or just hang out. The Vibe FORGETTA ABOUT IT, THIS IS THE BARBER SHOP THAT THEY PUT IN MOVIES! Manny planted his roots in Monroe over 30 years ago before Monroe was a destination location for families, schools etc he is one of the people that helped make Monroe what it is today, along with the Late Great Lino D from Venezia which used to be a few stores down! Many's son Keith and the great barbers will keep the tradition going if Manny ever decides to retire which I doubt. read more

Great place! Like walking into "cheers" with friendly barbers, conversation, and patrons. Great haircuts too!

First off I'd like to say that I've have been a customer at Manny's for about 3 years prior to this incident with very little issues. Small issues have happened like a barber forgetting to use shaving cream on my neck resulting in razor burn. However today's haircut experience was by far the worst. I was a walk in customer on Saturday 12/21/2019 at around 3:35PM (about an hour before closing). The place was pretty crowded however only about three - four other customers were ahead of me for a haircut. I sit down to wait and several other customers arrived after me. Some had appointments which I understand but others were walk-ins as well and were serviced before me. At around 4:15PM a barber asked if I was waiting for a particular barber, and I responded that I wasn't. He seemed somewhat surprised that I'd been waiting so long and he agreed to cut my hair. The haircut was fine up until the very end when the barber cut the skin on the back of my neck with a straight edge razor. Being the last customer of the day, it's understandable that the barber may have been in a rush to leave and was distracted. However, the barber nor the owner offered an apology. The barber handled the cut to my neck correctly, and I stood up to pay. When paying, the owner (Manny) was standing next to the register. I had to use $2.00 in quarters to pay for the haircut and be able to tip the barber in bills. When I reached for the quarters the owner chuckled and appeared annoyed that I had to use quarters for payment. This whole situation is unfortunate because overall my experience has been good at Manny's. However today showed a very unprofessional atmosphere and I will not be returning. read more

GET FRESH AT MANNY'S!! Manny's is a fantastic barbershop. The waiting area can sometimes be crowded, however it never seems like a long wait. All the guys and the one female (Tina) are friendly and do a great job. Before finding Manny's I've been to other barbershops in the area and never was completely satisfied. One great thing about Manny's is if you're not particular of who cuts your hair you'll never wait long. They have 5 - 6 barbers to choose from and they're all fantastic. From normal cuts to fades and skin fades they can do it all. I've been going to Manny's for quite a while and because of that I don't even need to tell the barber (Dan) what type of cut I'm looking for. He just knows what to do. I've been told in the past that I always have the most consistent haircut! Lol. So if you wanna look fresh and clean go to Manny's! read more

If anyone know a great haircut then you know to go straight to Manny's! I have been going here for 20 years now and continue to go. I now bring my son. Been bringing him for the last 9 years.

What else can you ask for! I started here and will finish here. Go on in and never look back. Thanks guys! -Jeremy read more

I brought my 2 year old son to Manny's after a few recommendations. We had brought our son to other places and they either weren't comfortable cutting his hair or they would barely do anything. Frank cut my son's hair and he did a fantastic job. We will definitely be going back. We waited 15 minutes. We went around noon on a Wednesday. read more

Manny's is the best place in the area to get a cut hands down, just moved into the area from NYC and this is ten the the service for less than half the cost! Have tried a few of the barbers there and they are all great. Place is clean, and authentic and takes you back to the "glory" days of barber shops. Don't bother to go anywhere else, Manny's is the place read more

There are many types of Grinches around the holidays, and Manny's has its very own in the form of the Old Man (who I assume is the owner). The Grinch literally closed the door in my 9 year old son's face on Christmas Eve with a few minutes to spare before 3pm. The younger barber looked confused but willing to take my son but was overruled by the Grinch. I get that it was Christmas Eve, and that everyone wants to go home but you're in the SERVICE industry. My son's haircut would have taken less than 5 minutes, and would have gone a long way in customer service etiquette. Never again. We drove up the road to Frank's. Guess what? It was AFTER 3pm, and they were closing but they know how to accommodate a customer. They made the start to Christmas extra special. Ignore Manny's slick advertising, and go to the best barber/hair salon in Monroe, Frank's at 494 Main Street. read more

First impression... something unsettling about walking into a room full of young men that looked like they just auditioned for the banjo scene in Deliverance. Anyway, got led into the back partition where they apparently shoehorned an extra chair into the area by the toilet where the barbers like to eat lunch. Not sure what was worse...sounds and smells from the toilet or the ones from whatever these guys were having for lunch. The haircut was OK I guess but took the guy forever to finish. I was tempted to let go with some back wind to speed him up and counterbalance the food odors. But behaved after realizing the guy had a pair of scissors in his hand. Confusion at checkout. Their website advertises $15 cuts. Rang me up at $20 until I protested. All in all, they are probably just as glad as I am never to return. Do yourself a favor. Go up the road half a mile to Matt & Louie's instead. read more

From my point of view it;s good news and not so good news. The haircuts are very good, I would say better than average. But the ambiance is weird, it's as though it is some kind of club I haven't been asked to join, Perhaps it is. CG Trumbull read more

Waited 30 minutes for my haircut only for manny to choose the guy who was talking to him while waiting and who also came in after me. Didn't even bother to ask who was next. Thanks. read more

I guess I'm the first to review this place? That seems strange - not enough yelpers in Monroe I suppose. The short version: They're good at cutting hair, but they SUCK at customer service. Anyway, I've been here twice now. Here's a description of my first experience: I walk in on a saturday morning, no one even says hello to me even though there are two people at the register (nice!). I chatted with another guy waiting with his son who is also weirded out by a barbershop that doesn't even say hello when you walk in. I decide to stay, more so just because I'm desperate for a haircut. It's my turn and I think it's the owners (Manny's) son who cuts my hair. He sort of says hello, asks me how i want it cut and then ignores me completely for the next 20 minutes while he cuts my hair. I'm OK with this only because he did a very good job cutting my hair, and after all, im there for a haircut not for conversation. Seriously though, it can't hurt to be a bit friendlier to your clients. The Italian brothers who cut my hair in D.C. when I was little would be rolling in their graves if they saw how these guys treated clients. Again, good cuts though. read more

I am particular about my barbers. When I moved to Trumbull Ct 8 yrs ago , I asked and was told that the best barbershop around is Manny's . I went there to try it out and had such a great experience , I have been a customer since then. I typically go to Manny, the owner for a haircut every two weeks , but have also had my hair cut by Keith and Danny. They are professional , friendly and most important give a great haircut at a reasonable price. read more
