Customer Review Summary
A barber at this shop draws consistent praise for building personal relationships with regulars, with several describing texting him directly to book a cut rather than waiting for a formal appointment. The traditional hot shave and face shave come up repeatedly as a standout add-on alongside standard haircuts, and walk-ins repeatedly mention little to no wait, sometimes under five or ten minutes. Prices are called competitive by multiple reviewers, though one customer notes paying twenty-eight dollars with tip for a buzz cut and wished for something cheaper, and another flags that the shop is cash only. A second barber is also mentioned as delivering unbeatable customer service alongside the main barber. The one real complaint concerns reliability of hours: one reviewer reports waiting until almost 8:30am two days in a row because the shop didn't open when its posted hours indicated, calling it a simple fix the business hasn't made. Otherwise, the recurring thread is a classic, welcoming shop atmosphere that regulars say feels like home.

“Quick service friendly Barber. I was in and out in 10 minutes but I wish I could find a barber shop where I could get a buzz cut for a senior bald man under $20. Shoppers cash only I paid $28 with tip.”
- John Ryckman
“Apparently they just show up whenever they want with no regard to the hours they show online. Two days in a row now I waited until almost 8:30am. I guess their time is more important than that of their customers. Terrible way to run a business. Simple fix, if you are not going to be there at 8:09am then UPDATE YOUR HOURS!!!!”

“I've been going to Abdul for a few months now and I cannot express enough how much I love this barbershop. Abdul is hilarious, exceedingly friendly, and most importantly a great barber. He knows what I want seemingly instinctively. My first time in the shop he got my phone number and now whenever I need a haircut all I have to do is send him a text! He does a great job forming a relationship with customers, this place definitely has the small business community feel that everyone needs in their life. Go here!”

“Great atmosphere and a great barber that goes above and beyond. Abdul Can give you a normal cut or style any way you would like with the prices more competitive than I've seen anywhere else. This place feels like home when you go there. A must try for anyone looking for a new barber in the Manchester area.”

“Abdul always gives me a perfect cut. He is very efficient with his time. He always accommodates me cause I never know when I want a cut till right then I throw him a text an boom I'm in just that easy. The cuts are priced very good an the Ole school shop is a must to check out. Not to many places are like this anymore.”
