Manly and Sons Barber Co. — Local services in Los Angeles

You lose more than you win here.

I've been going here for more than a year. And this place has problems. Tho I've had some of the best haircuts from here, I've mostly had average to bad cuts here mostly because the barber cuts hair whatever way he wants because he's hurried by time restrictions. And at $41 per cut, ya I'm expecting better quality.

This isn't a matter of my hair being different and not setting the way I want it to. I show pictures of how I want it and tell him in detail each and every time - he still does whatever he wants. I say low fade - he goes high and tight. I say shave in a thin part - he makes it finger width and then pretends like nothings wrong!

They've increased the price from $35 - $38 - $41 and they've restricted barbers to 30 mins per cut when it used to be 45. The barber still tried to give me 40 mins sometimes, no doubt, but he doesn't let you look in the mirror while he cuts and only shows you the cut at the end when you can't do anything about it anymore.

It's difficult to keep appointments in LA with traffic and everything, but the barbers deserve better than 30 mins per cut. They're talented, but you can tell they're rushed because ownership is thirsty for profits under the guise of "they've increased rent on us".

They're slowly trying to become a $65 per cut shop without letting their barbers get the time they need and without letting customers get the cuts they really pay for.

LA is filled with competition and I'm happy to find somewhere else for my hair to get cut the way I pay for...

Made an appointment last week for a haircut with any available barber, I was paired with Sergio. After coming in, he told me that he was running behind and I’d have to wait. After 45 minutes, he finally got to me, although there was barely any sort of apology for the delay. After the haircut, he gave me his # and said that if I wanted to book again with him, I could just text him. Cool. Texted him and asked if I could come in next week to have him fix a small spot that looked funny. He said sure, and we decided on a date and time. 1 hour before the appointment, he texts saying he actually won’t be in that day, but the next day will work. I arrive the next day, and once again, he’s forgotten about the appointment and says he has to finish someone else’s hair first. After waiting 30 minutes, I got up and left because I don’t have time to wait around on this dude and his chaotic schedule. I don’t know if this is how everyone at this barber shop operates, but I was shown absolutely no respect for the time I took out of my day to come here. It’s a shame because the haircuts are great, but if this is how they treat their customers, I just can’t continue...

I started growing out my beard in January and I once it grew long I hated how it looked. I didn't like all the bulkiness of it and it just looked horrible. I read a great review for Alex and I decided to try her out. I sat in her chair and I told her how much I hated my beard. She asked me what I didn't like about my beard. Based on everything I told her she began to sculpt and shape my beard and I am now loving my beard. There is a shape and a contour to it. I have been going to Alex ever since and I refuse to go to anyone else. When she begins to trim your beard, you can just see how much passion she has for beard trims. When you sit in her chair and you look at her do her magic, you will know exactly what I'm talking about. Every time she is done with her trim, I tell her the same thing. I wish I can take you home. If you need someone that will take care of your beard and give it the life and look it needs, then Alex is the one to go see. I promise you will not be...
