About NOTJUST | Manchester Barbers
NOTJUST | Manchester Barbers is a barber shop in Manchester, working from Unit 3 as a collective of barbers. The team specialises in scissor work on longer hair, and each cut starts with a consultation about what you want and what you don't want. Trims and curly hair cuts are also part of the work. While cutting, the barbers talk through what they are doing, and they offer styling and hair maintenance advice. Music plays in the studio.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out scissor work on longer and curly hair, with the barbers consistently praised for listening before they cut. Several describe a consultation where the barber asked questions, looked at inspiration photos, and explained each step while cutting, leaving them with exactly the cut they asked for. One says the barber understood their hair type and head shape, and another recommends the shop for curly hair after receiving many compliments. Close behind come styling and maintenance tips, plus easy conversation throughout the appointment. Visitors also describe the space as airy, laid back and comfy, with a solid soundtrack. One new arrival in Manchester says the barbers made them feel at home. The one negative comes from a single reviewer who arrived mid-afternoon to find the shop closed despite listed hours showing a later closing time, and who asked for a goodwill discounted haircut. One reviewer who had the last cut of the day says they were not rushed.

“Excellent first time visit to NOTJUST. The space is cool and the vibe is friendly. Dai looked after me really well; he was attentive to what I was looking for, he asked helpful questions as he consulted on what I wanted, we shared pictures to visualise what we were going for, and I found him to be really precise and focused. Really enjoyed my experience and very pleased with the result. Nice to find a place that can do really great scissor work on longer hair. I felt really well looked after. Will definitely be going back.”

“I’ve been for a few trims now at NOTJUST and always walk away feeling really pleased. Adam cut my hair today and he did such a great job - he really listened in the consultation at the start and he asked me questions about the haircut as he progressed which I really appreciated. He had great attention to detail, care for the customer and was also just great to chat to. Looking forward to coming back.”

“Had my haircut here last Wednesday. Sebastian was my barber. He was chatty, gave me exactly what I asked for and some styling tips. I was the last cut of the day but was not rushed and was still given 100%. The shop its self was nice and easy to get to. If you have curly hair and are struggling to find a barbers definitely come here. I’ve never had so many compliments on my hair 😂”

“Tom is an excellent barber and genuinely professional. His scissor work is really impressive, and he takes the time to understand what you want and give you good advice about what will work best for your hair. He’s also great at communicating with international clients, which makes the whole experience really comfortable and easy. Really happy with my haircut and would definitely recommend him!”
- Enrique Vargas
“An absolute pleasure coming and getting my hair done by Sebastian. The place is very comfy and makes you feel at home. Super laid back and chill environment. I truly enjoyed the time there. I went for a hair cut and was a bit unsure about the flow cut, but Sebastian explained to me what he would do and got the confidence to do so. He did a truly great job and very satisfied with the results.”
