SuperCuts is one of those companies, which surprises me with its' level of success, being a barber shop which has gone international, it has over 2,000 stores in the US alone. I always have found Supercuts to be a little expensive, charging £14.95 for a dry cut but for a city center, it is reasonable, especially considering my local barber at Kim-Creative was out, and she normally charges that anyway. The woman who served me was quite quick, and got me seated straight away. I told her about my past luck with barbers and she told me to let her know if she caught me, which was kind, and she also tried to have it as quick as possible, while also trying to make it "still look good" It is quite a nice salon in general, but is near enough the typical Supercuts layout. This SuperCuts is in a good location in the Manchester Arndale, and can be found on the top floor fairly close to Currys PC World and The Food Court. She got my haircut done quickly, and she done a good job of it too, for me to actually get numerous compliments, she tried her best not to "catch" me with the blades, as they normally seem to do, although she did catch me a few times. She also didn't soak my head in water, like the flooding of The River Thames, as I've had before which also shown that she was actually qualified. This was my first time in SuperCuts, and I was very pleased so I'm happy to award 3 stars, which is right on the brink of a 4 star review, which will be awarded if my 2nd visit maintains this standard, and I don't suffer from "2nd visit blues" as I have had at Jack Edward in Middleton, Mad Luck in Rochdale and various other barbers, so I do want to make sure a 4 star rating is deserved first. UPDATE: Due to huge inconsistencies in service from different members of staff, which could include treatments such as shaves to sometimes be denied or accepted and priced anywhere between £3.95 and £5.95, while also considering this and the quality of the finished cut and the service from certain staff members, it's hard to even know what you're getting from Supercuts anymore, and that's if you ever do get it, and the price you're getting it for, so sadly this has become much poorer recently and warrants a single one-star rating, I'm sorry to report. Being unable to make appointments and the fact you have to sit in for wait, where even one could be expected to wait an hour for a treatment expected to last 1/10 of that time is ridiculously stupid. read more

Supercuts - Hair Salons Near Me - Manchester, XGM

After having a shaky start with with this place I have since been back...and it really does depend who you get that changes the experience. When I first came here I was continiously insulted by the hair dresser how horrible my hair was , and how it needed cutting from waist length to below my shoulders...and when he finished he curled it so i couldnt see the end result. Since then I have brought my partner in (who has long hair) and was treated so lovely, and they did a great job. I came in again and got served by the lady...wow what a lovely difference. This time she kept complimenting my hair and knew exactly what I wanted. She knew I was trying to keep it long so she skillfully layered my hair so the snapped ends were removed. I felt completely relaxed and trusted her which is rare in my case. She also showed me the back ,recommended products and styled my hair beautifully..just a shame it was raining outside! The prices start at £14 for a dry cut, £20 for a cut and wash and anything up to £38 for a cut , wash and blow dry. I just go in for a dry cut, there is no booking system so I recommend you go before 5pm as a lot of people use it when they finish work. read more

So, I'm not one for pre-planning and I found myself in Manchester at 5pm with 2 hours to spare, and a haystack of hair. Last minute evening haircut in the UK's supposed second capital city - how hard could that be?! HARD. Apparently people only get their hair cut past 5pm on a Thursday. I did not get this memo. So on a Wednesday evening I can only find two city centre salons open till 7pm, both are fully booked, and my plan is foiled until I pass by Supercuts. Supercuts is not somewhere I'd normally choose to go, but the ability to walk in and get a haircut then and there was absolutely brilliant. I did have to wait for 30 minutes, but that was fine as I had time on my hands. I played it safe and basically had a few inches off and choppy layers. Didn't take a photo, as I wasn't prepared enough, and after years of trying I now realise I'll need more than a pair of shears to get me looking like Alexa Chung... I've got to say that I was impressed by the level of service. The hairdresser made doubly sure she understood what I wanted, made suggestions and really took her time with the cut. I felt that she listened to me and although she talked me through a couple of products that she used, there was no hard sell and I do think they helped my hair. Supercuts didn't blow my mind, but they did good! As someone who doesn't really relish sitting in front of a mirror for a six hour hair appointment (yes, that has happened to me) but equally wants to feel like I'm getting my money's worth, I think Supercuts is spot on. At around £33 for longish hair it's very affordable but also not exactly bargain basement. I'd definitely think about going to them again, if only for the ease of it. One minor quibble is that I'm not sure I can choose who would cut my hair, but this may be possible. To be honest I saw no bad cuts whilst I was there and other stylists looked just as attentive, if not a bit understaffed. I wish other salons would be a bit more like Supercuts and ease up on their rigid appoint systems. read more

I've had many good hair cuts from here. It's great for people with changeable timetables, because you can just turn up when you have a couple of hours to spare. Usually end up with a different hair dresser each time I go which is a bit annoying, I've only had one occasion where she nearly scalped me (still a good cut, just painful), every other time has been exactly what I wanted. Average prices, but fantastic 20% student discount Mon-Fri. This is my favourite manchester salon and I don't intend on changing any time soon. My boyfriend has his hair cut here regularly too and has never had a bad cut. read more

no need for appointment here but you can wait up to fourty minuets. Have been to the more expensive salons but this is the best ! as have not had any diasasters here like you can in other salons as the girls tend to make a mess of your hair our of spite. my friend recently went to toni and guys with long hair for a trim and ended up with a bob ( i cried with her) I have the same person cutting my hair and they listein and cut to my exact command. prices is around £26 for a wash cut and blow dry as i have fairly longish hair so its not bad as it takes awhile for it to dry. friendly staff and a helpful manager and most of all some one i can trust with a pair of sissors in their hands . lol! funny but true! read more

When I came to uni I happened to be put in a room next to a girl who was equally as ungirly as me. Phew. My nightmares of discussing blusher, listening to the Black Eyed Peas and going out on Deansgate Locks were over. Not that there's anything wrong with these girls, I know plenty of them. But they usually get their hair cut at Razor's Edge or Toni and Guy. It was my ungirly friend who recommended Supercuts to me about 5 years ago and I have barely deviated from the place since. You don't have to make an appointment. In fact, you can't make an appointment, which is great for people like me who actually dread appointments from the second they're made. This does, of course, mean that the wait can sometimes be a little long, so bring a book. The staff are usually pretty friendly but not too over the top. Last time I had a nice girl from Stoke, who actually commuted from there every day to cut hair! The prices are the cheapest I've seen in Manchester. It's usually about £29 for me, which includes wash, cut and blowdry, but the price depends on the length of your hair and what you want doing. The staff won't start snipping until you're happy with the price quoted. I've always been happy with the haircuts I've received here, and would be happy to recommend Supercuts to anyone (apart from the girly girls, they can stick with Toni and Guy). All in all, the least pretentious hairdressers you'll find. read more

See all

This is a great place to have that lil' trim or that new look you wanted without shelling out £70 for the wash, the cut and the blow dry. There is no appointment needed and hence many a times people just walk in while their shopping trips in the Arndale. The wait might be a little more than accounted for at times, but it's worth it. They also do these slices and highlights for a very meagre amount, all depending on the length of your hair. The staff is extremely jovial and friendly with lots of suggestions to keep you excited for the entire while! Finally, it's a great little place, tucked into Arndale's corner, waiting to be approached, giving out the best! read more

Supercuts - from http://www.manchesterarndale.com/ - Hair Salons Near Me - Manchester, XGM

For a budget hairdressers, look no further than Supercuts. Don't come here expecting 5 star treatment, because that just isn't the aim. But if you want a decent, quick cut then Supercuts is the place to go. There is no bookings system, you simply turn up and wait. This can either be to your advantage or disadvantage, depending on the time you go. If you can be there before opening time, then the waiting time is significantly reduced, but be warned you could be waiting up to 2 hours on occasion. Your patience will definitely be tested! The cost is reasonable. Approximately £12 for a dry cut, and up to £35 for a wash, cut and blow dry with straighteners. read more

WORST hair cut I have ever had. I asked him to literally TRIM my hair, to take the smallest amout possible off, and he seemed to understand what I was saying, especially because id said "I am growing my hair" about 10 times. BUT then i noticed 2 inches of hair on the floor around me. The stylist then made me feel embarrassed for asking him to change the style after I had realised he had ruined my hair. Also, while he was cutting the hair, he seemed disengaged and was actually looking around the room, talking to other stylists all while CHOPPING at my hair. He obviously either didn't care at all, or is just a rubbish hairdresser. I do not recommend it to ANYONE. It is going to take me months to grow my hair back. And it is so shoddy it is actually embarrassing. I wasn't expecting the best haircut ever but I also wasn't expecting to be scalped. I want my money back. read more

I went to arndale super cuts . When I arrive I explain to lady at reception I wanted hair cut and re style and showed her the picture of hairstyle as well. I was advised it will be £34. After lady hairdresser finish cutting my hair said its £44.60. My question is - why did you not explain all this at reception or tell me before starting cutting process. Secondly I explain how I wanted hair but lady hairdresser kept cutting it shorter and shorter which now in total mess. I explain to her to take one inch length however she did whatever she wanted . Finally instead of taking time to cut my hair she was chatting away to other members of staff. What kind of customer service is this ? I am so terrified of having supercut team to even touch my hair. read more

Only been the one time and was told i would have to wait 45 minutes for a fringe cut priced at £3.95. I thought it was odd for me to have to wait so long as I visited on a weekday afternoon. A few minutes after waiting someone came in and took me over to the chair. It was obvious he had just had a cigarette break as I could smell it all over him and his hands which left my hair smelling disgusting and he couldn't even cut my fringe straight, something a qualified hairdresser should be more than capable of. Will not be going back again read more

Located in the Arndale Centre, Supercuts is not the most luxurious hairdressers by any standard, and definitely not one renowned for its friendly staff, you definitely get what you pay for here. I would only recommend this place for the basic short back and sides or someone looking to save a bit of cash. read more

Popped in on my lunch break today for a quick dry cut trim. I was expecting to have to wait a little while but was seen straight away by a lovely Australian lady who listened to what I wanted. I was in and out within 20 mins - she blow dried my hair straight, took care to do a straight even trim and finished with some serum. Great when you just need a quick trim and only £14.95 (I have long thick hair). read more

Wouldn't recommend this over crowded, awkward salon to anybody. The staff who work their are incredibly rude and have this over confident attitude which can make customers feel rather intimidated. They seem to turn their nose up at people when wanting to make an appointment I was turned away very rudely as apparently they don't take any appointments after a certain time. Their advice on hair styles and recommendations are useless and not helpful whatsoever. Save your money and go elsewhere. For the money you spend on a decent haircut you should be treated with respect and serviced in a comfortable environment. read more

Now don't get me wrong I knew this was budget hairdressers but I did not expect to pay £30 for rude staff, and a haircut so bad I've had to book in a Regis to have it redone. Regis by the way charge £35, for a service 100 times better than this. I was not quoted for anything till after they had finished cutting my hair. I was charged for a conditioning treatment I did not ask for, was not asked if I wanted or I even needed. I asked for a trim, well the bottom certainly had that, however my layers had a lot more than that, I came out with an uneven cut that can only be described as a mullet gone wrong, not the look I was going for. When I said I hated it they said they could redo it but it would cost more, no thank you, I'm not letting anyone from there near my hair again, and would advise everyone else the same. Oh and to top it all off they burnt my ear and got hair in my shopping bag, covering my gorgeous new dress. read more
