Heartened by my own experience of Edge hair design which is right next door to Deans Hairdressing…read more(Barbers would be a more accurate term), I sent my boyfriend to Dean for a pre-Christmas trim. Deans is an honest barbers shop... turn up, wait for the next free barber, take a seat, short-back-and-sides, then out... no frills, no fuss! The staff are all really friendly and chatty, if a little intimidating at first sight... Clearly they all get to the gym on a regular basis when not brandishing their hair clippers! Deans also offer a full wet-shave 'experience' with cut throat razors, hot towels and the works. I know that the boyfriend is hankering after this, and at £7.50 for the treatment I may just send him in for one soon if it means not having to put up with his stubble for even a day! He highly recommends the treatment received at Deans, and the cut is tidy, if not imaginative. All in all, worth a visit!

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.

Its cheap, it very rarely has any queues and its cheap. It is only a small unit, with two chairs available to have your hair cut in. this doesn't really matter as there is only ever one girl there to cut it. If there ever is a queue, there is usually a copy of the previous few days The Sun to browse over and keep you entertained.

All I have to say attend greatly to men's grooming but this is my favourite. My local barbers for 15 years and the longest running in Rusholme. It does do discounts for students children and pensioners, but it's basic adult cut starts at just £8 and it does a full range of barbering including styling and wet shaves. They pay attention and take their time, so even a crew cut isn't just in and out! French, English and Arabic speaking it has lots of regulars. You don't need to book but you may need to wait.
