Manny’s Barbershop

Great shop, Manny and Levi are both talented and friendly barbers. I’ve never had a bad haircut at this shop, then again, I’ve never had an average one either. Outstanding!

My husband religiously goes to Manny to get his haircut, and luckily he is right by our apartment so super convenient too! He hasn’t left this place without being pleased with his cut and finds that even when busy Manny has time to squeeze him in for a cut. Good, reasonably priced barbershop in Eastvil!

Good to see Manny again– continues to give great attention to detail and respond exactly to what the customer is looking for!

First of all, let me just say this is the best barber shop I’ve ever been to for its price. But there is a reason I’m giving this 3 stars.
There are 3 barbers who normally work there. Manny is amazing and gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had. There’s another man, I can never remember his name, with somewhat thick black hair and speaks like a long-​time new yorker, who I usually get. While not as perfect as Manny he does an excellent job as well.
Then there’s the other guy, usually looks quite bored and expressionless. Both times he’s cut my hair I ended up super disappointed. While Manny can give me a perfect cut in less than 10 minutes, I felt like I spent over 30 minutes trying to direct this guy how to fix his initial cut on me, and I’m still looking in the mirror unhappy. It’s really upsetting to me because I come all the way from Bushwick to get my hair cut here, and I’m now afraid of taking the gamble of getting stuck with him again. From what I’ve heard I’m not the only one who’s had bad experiences with him. I wish Manny took notice of this and either dumped him for someone else or ran it himself when the other guy’s not around. I really wouldn’t mind waiting 20 more minutes for Manny to cut my hair.
edit: I read another reviewer say how the same guy cut his hair and now he looks like a f***ing clown. I’m feeling the same way. This was a really important haircut, and I feel ticked off every time I look in the mirror now. It looks like someone smacked the top right&left sides of my head with a shovel. I paid them $ 20 so I can walk around with my hood up. It’s insane to me how I’ve had the best and worst haircuts I’ve ever had from the same shop.

I’ve been coming to Manny’s for the past several months after trying numerous barbershops all over Manhattan. I continue to make the trip to Manny even after moving from the neighborhood. Quick, precise haircuts and always an enjoyable experience at a very reasonable cost. Would highly recommend.

I’ve been here in this area for about 8 months now and this is the only place I go to. It’s in a pretty chill location of East Village and as a college student as well, $ 20 is good for a very good cut. Manny is a cool guy as well, and as I said gives a very good cut. Whenever I need a haircut this is exactly where I trust to go.

Manny is the friendly and fast artist master to cut my hair that really fits me well, I went their base on the best review
barber around my area and all the review wasn’t lie he is the best! will post review with my picture next time.

I’ve been seeing Manny for over 3 years. This barbershop has excellent service and skilled barbers. Highly recommend for both long term and short term customers

Manny is fantastic. He’s attentive, kind, and very good at what he does. For $ 20 + tip, this place is absolutely worth it.

Every cut I’ve ever gotten here is top notch! Hands down the best barber I’ve been to.

Great haircuts, a friendly atmosphere, and easy conversation keep me coming back. Manny’s is the best in the neighborhood, no doubt.

Overall I’m really happy with this place. My friends tell me it’s always good to have a back up barbershop just in case the one you frequent doesn’t have a spot to fit you in. And it being the day before thanksgiving you can imagine how busy every other shop is.
The guys are nice and the cuts are inexpensive and very good. Good to know these guys are around the corner from me.

Best haircut in the city. I may be a harsh critic (It took me about 4 months to find a barber in the area I was satisfied with) but I can’t say a bad word about this place.
Manny gives me exactly the cut I’m looking for even with my mediocre instructions. You’ll feel like a regular after your first visit and the prices are cheap, what more could you ask for?

Only 1 star — this is a very friendly place. Maybe try Manny instead of Levy. Levy did my cut and he’s got a heavy hand. He doesn’t just trim off he cuts a lot more and keeps cutting and still asked if it was too long. He didn’t even ask if I wanted to gel to style myself… I think he knew it was a screw up.
I had to edit my rating… after washing it… it’s even worse than I thought. Levy did not do a great cut. Not sure what kind of eye for shaping a haircut he has but it’s off. There are better places than this in manhattan… places that will give u the cut you ask and show an example of. He definitely didn’t either understand or listen.

My first shave, Manny took my full shaving virginity. Feel like a soft baby face now, but with a Colombian drug lord moustache, but that’s not Manny’s fault! Can highly recommend this place. 20 bucks for a full hot towel shave, moustache or not.

It’s very hard to get a barber that understands my hair. Manny asked me what I wanted, and took over. He got it just the way I need it to be to look professionally presentable for work.
Thanks Manny!

I went in to get a cut a little over a month ago. Very pleasant and positive experience:
Levy (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) and I discussed the style. He gave me some suggestions without disregarding mine and I was very happy with the result.
They are also very nice people — would definitely recommend!

8 months later and Manny is still crushing it.
Reminder: you’ll be in good hands with anybody who cuts your hair here at Manny’s. I’ve had my hair cut by manny and two other guys and they all do a great job.
So if manny isn’t free, sit with one of the other barbers and you’ll be pleased.
