Manny’s

I am particular about my barbers. When I moved to Trumbull Ct 8 yrs ago, I asked and was told that the best barbershop around is Manny’s. I went there to try it out and had such a great experience, I have been a customer since then. I typically go to Manny, the owner for a haircut every two weeks, but have also had my hair cut by Keith and Danny. They are professional, friendly and most important give a great haircut at a reasonable price.

I guess I’m the first to review this place? That seems strange — not enough Unilocalers in Monroe I suppose.
The short version: They’re good at cutting hair, but they SUCK at customer service.
Anyway, I’ve been here twice now. Here’s a description of my first experience: I walk in on a saturday morning, no one even says hello to me even though there are two people at the register (nice!). I chatted with another guy waiting with his son who is also weirded out by a barbershop that doesn’t even say hello when you walk in. I decide to stay, more so just because I’m desperate for a haircut. It’s my turn and I think it’s the owners (Manny’s) son who cuts my hair. He sort of says hello, asks me how i want it cut and then ignores me completely for the next 20 minutes while he cuts my hair.
I’m OK with this only because he did a very good job cutting my hair, and after all, im there for a haircut not for conversation.
Seriously though, it can’t hurt to be a bit friendlier to your clients. The Italian brothers who cut my hair in D.C. when I was little would be rolling in their graves if they saw how these guys treated clients.
Again, good cuts though.
