Even though it was only a re-cut of my old hair, it still ended up costing almost 25 quid, which is pretty high. The end result was good, so I'm very happy with it, but I think it's slightly on the expensive side. I'd probably go again.

I'm pleased to be giving the Cornershop Barber Shop, its' first review in 2016 and only second in…read morethe past 12 months, and I'm pleased to announce, it is still quite a nice place to go for a haircut. As regular readers of my reviews will know, I'm with Jonny Q and Michael B on this one, I hate having my haircut done and hate the awkwardness of chit-chat with my barber, and just want to get in and out of a place, with minimal effort, this place is right by Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter, opposite the Old Koffeepot on the corner of Hilton Street. It is quite a nice place, and it charges £10 for a haircut which isn't bad considering I'm used to paying £15 at Supercuts and Kim-Creative.Com in the Arndale. The barber was nice enough, he wasn't as friendly as I've seen before at the other places listed above, but he did do a quick haircut, upon request at 6 minutes. Overall, the haircut was okay until he used the scissors, it felt like he went on for hours, being really heavy handed, cutting big chunks of hair with the scissors, and then banging the comb on my head near enough every-time, which shown hints of aggression and perhaps it being too rushed, this probably felt like the longest part of my haircut, even though looking back it was probably nothing more than 1/3 of the time taken, but if you would of told me that part of the haircut, took double what the whole haircut taken, I would have believe you. I got a decent haircut as well, which was much better than other cuts I have had before, but perhaps still not as good as Supercuts in the Manchester Arndale. It is also open on a Sunday between 12 and 6pm which is handy, and when I visited, it didn't seem really busy and I got seated and my haircut straight away. I noticed they did have a few newspapers on the table for people to look at while waiting. My search for a barbershop has been a long one, I've devoted a long list to find one on Yelp, I hope now my search is over. I hope this place doesn't suffer with "Second-time barber blues", I continue to get a lot so for now, I feel it only deserves a 3. UPDATE: I now feel Cornershop deserves a single one star rating mainly down to a huge decline in service and the overall finished haircut of late, the fact they don't do appointments and often leave you waiting with the staff not seeming overly friendly makes the situation worse also.

Anyone who regularly reads my reviews will know my constant battle to find a good haircut with…read moreminimal effort. Not only do I struggle with "barber talk" but the fact that it usually takes a good hour to get my pretty short hair cut makes me want to spend that time doing something much more fun. That usually results in me carrying what can only be described as a birds nest around on my head for a much more desired time period than is acceptable! But for no more - yesterday at the Barbers on Stevenson square opposite Koffee pot, I was in and out within 20 minutes, loved my new haircut and it only cost me £10. All the guys working there were pretty friendly and up for a chat about the local bar scene and that suits me just fine. If you're after a quick cut, walk in service then this place is just for you.

BarberBarber is a small chain of male barbers in the UK, with 5 stores in London, Liverpool, Leeds…read more(Quite a pattern there), a new store which opened in August in Birmingham and of course this location here in Manchester, just off Deansgate in the Barton Arcade, so close to Market Street and part of the Manchester city centre, being basically just opposite the House of Fraser and being so close to Bella Italia, Pret A Manger and Lunya, the latter being also based in the Barton Arcade. One thing I dislike about this branch is a lack of appointments, meaning at any time you could obviously turn up and end up waiting hours on end, I had even been given waiting times of two or three hours at one point, and I've even been turned away at times when I'd expect them to be quiet, towards the end of the day before close when they're not. The staff don't seem really friendly at all, I've even seen staff go outside to smoke with customers waiting. It does look really nice here, and I've always wanted to call in for a haircut but I'm just sick and tired of the waiting, if they are used to this demand they should move somewhere else in Manchester, expand and get more staff as their is a demand for it and right now that is sacrificing levels of service and the overall feel, which are terrible I'm sorry to report that with regret BarberBarber deserves one star at this moment in time - I hate having my haircut and I hate being sat there in the chair for ages, let alone having to wait hours on end for a haircut which still is overpriced and one of the highest prices in Manchester at over £17 for a dry-cut meanwhile for some reason the branch in Leeds is 10% cheaper. From a service point of view, this branch needs to improve asap or this place is going to turn away and frustrate more and more customers and turn them to many of the rival barbers in Manchester city centre.

A well thought out and equally well executed barbershop. The no woman rule is kind of funny, but…read morekind of pointless. The free drinks is a nice touch although not really appropriate when I like to go in at 10am. The queue is ridiculous at times, even with all 4 chairs in full swing, an hour or more is common for a hair cut. This place is a modern classic - the guys are friendly and well trained, and the place is obviously clean and well run. The boom of lumberjack beards in Manchester doesn't do anything to help the queue time as once self-respecting men now debate which beard oil to opt for, or how thick to keep their sideburns. For a simple guy with a simple hair cut, I do love the attention to detail here, but not sure I'll keep returning for long if I have to commit half of my Saturday to waiting, for a 10 minute sit in the barber chair. Having said that, I really can't fault the place.
