  • I got a wonderful hairstylist/barber named Aire, who gave me a skin fade haircut (Clear layered). He's funny and professional. I have no doubt, for women who prefer short hair, City Barbers is the best choice!...

    Codie Hong Fung
  • I like Arie.. barbers who listen and do exactly what you ask are a rare breed.. no thrills, no taking 30 minutes to do a scissor blend that you can do the exact same with clippers. He has 20 years experience and takes pride in his work -...

  • I usually don't give bad reviews, but this was a terrible experience. The barber was in a rush, had dirty hands smelling cigarette, and didn't listen to what I asked for (just keep my hair style, but lowering it a bit and trimming the edges). Instead, he gave me a completely different haircut, which I could probably have reproduced at home. It felt like he just wanted to get the money and go to the next costumer, as he was rudely moving my head around and basically just shaved the sides of my hair - almost completely - to give me the most basic look that looks like a middle aged man with a wig on the top of his head. One of the worst haircutting experiences I have ever had. It was my first and last time in this place. I am not sure about the other barbers, but I won't risk it again and will recommend people to keep distance from it. To the barber: you could have done a lot better by just treating you costumer with some basic respect. Services Fade cut Requested style Just a maintenance haircut, with a small fade on the side.

  • One barber was off and forgot to mark himself out, so they were double booked all morning. Jimmy, however, had it under control and was able to fit me in and out the door again after only a half an hour wait from my appointment time. Thanks...

    Rowan Enis Race

  • I'm not in the habit of leaving negative reviews, as I understand there can be 'off' days or just a bad experience, but on this occasion I'll make an exception due to feeling ripped off and taken the p*ss of. Firstly I asked for a head...

    Peter Stephanou
  • One of the best barber experiences I've ever had, the fella who gave me a trim was awesome, great conversation and I got exactly what I asked for. The 2* review from 2 weeks back seems unreasonable because what you ask for, you get. Thanks guys! ♥️

    Jordan Cormican

  • Was looking for somewhere on my lunch in Manchester that wasn’t booked up or didn’t have anybody waiting and found City Barbers. Arie gave me a skin fade and a beard shape up and did an amazing job. The quality of cut was great, fade looked neat and Arie was a very friendly guy

    Jack Clegg
  • A while since I've been, but the owner Jimmy does a great haircut and is a very friendly bloke. The other guy Andy was not so great. The girl that works there sometimes also does a great cut. I've been going for years, right since when they used to be in Stevenson Square, and I travel in from South Manchester especially.

    Chris Whitworth
  • I’ve been getting a trim here for over a year now, and I’ve walked away happy every time. Arie and Jimmy are both class at what they do and are great people. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a trim in the city centre. Very good prices too.

    Munesu
  • I always go to see Arie and he's ace. All staff is very friendly and professional. The place looks a bit tired inside and would benefit from a refurb or at least a bit of painting but don't be put off by this and you won't be dissapointed. Great value for money.
