Quick info
About The Portland Barbers
The Portland Barbers is a barber shop at 67 Lever St in Manchester's Northern Quarter, a two-minute walk from Piccadilly Gardens and 100 yards from Stevenson Square. The shop opens at 7:30am, making it one of the only barbers open that early and giving clients the option of a cut first thing in the morning. The menu of cuts runs from modern skin fades and tapers to classic scissor cuts. The barbers also aim to send clients away looking good and feeling confident, and they take walk-ins. Their portfolios are posted on Instagram under @ThePortlandBarbersMcr, so clients can look through the work before choosing a style.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the cut itself, with fades and scissor work named repeatedly, and one describing a taper fade that came out clean, sharp and exactly as asked. Close behind is the friendliness of the barbers, who are described as professional, easy to talk to and good for conversation. Several praise attention to detail, and one reviewer with Asian hair says finding a barber who understands it was a game-changer. Another says a barber of five years remembers everything about his regulars, and one notes a barber listened to what they wanted and offered good suggestions. Reviewers also mention the shop's nice vibe. One walk-in was told the shop gets quite busy and plans to book next time. The reviews raise no real complaints. One graduate, needing a cut before the big day, was slotted in for 9:00am after finding it one of the only places open at 7:30am.

“Excellent haircut by Hama. Really listened to what I wanted and did a great job. Nice to talk to too. Thank you!”
- Seyed Tarjomani
“I have been booking in with Hama for a while now and couldnt recommend him more highly. He was excellent with fades when my hair was short, and just as skilled with scissor cuts as I started growing it out. He always delivers on what I ask and gives good suggestions. Hes professional, friendly and easy to talk to which makes the whole experience really enjoyable. I have recommended him to several friends and every single one has left happy with their cut. Strongly recommend!”
