I have been getting my haircut by Tony for more than 14 years. This place is second to none and I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a great haircut. I have never gotten out of Tony's chair without looking top notch. Tony knows what to do. Probably the strongest recommendation I can give to Manhattan Barber is that I live in Orange County and have to drive 40 miles to get here but I make that drive without hesitation knowing I am going to get my hair cut right. read more

I highly recommend Manhattan Beach barbershop. Antonio the master barber has been there for 32 years, the shop itself has been there for 90 years. Almost as old as Antonio, 84 years young. He is truly a character and great barber with classical music blasting, and poetry recital every Thursday. This place is as nostalgic as they come. When finishing my haircut, he offered me some whiskey to sample, fabulous! read more

I got a great haircut from Jorge! He really took pride and gave me both a haircut and a beard trim. I'm walking distance and pretty picky about my barbers ... my normal shop was busy, but Jorge had one appointment left, and I am happy to say he was great. Nice fellow as well, and don't let the old fashioned barbershop vibe think they don't provide stylish haircuts, because they do ... I love and have received a lot of compliments. **Thanks Jorge, nice work!!! read more

Booked an appt online for 4 pm April 9th and it was confirmed online with an email. showed up to find the shop closed with a sign saying "on vacation" for the next 4 days. Totally unprofessional. read more

Antonio is the best barber I have met. He let us play his guitar and he was very friendly. Definitely recommend and the haircut was great.

Antonio was the best barber I have ever gotten a haircut from. Best haircut experience ever he saying the songs cut my hair and was very funny read more

Umm so we have been sitting here 30 minutes even though my husband had an appointment . We have watched several people come and go. He finally went to the front desk to find out the girl never checked him in. Maybe your receptionist should stay off her personal phone actually do her job. What was the point of even making an appointment and she didn't even apologize. We won't be coming back. Such a waste of our time. Sad that she could care less and not even admit or apologize for her mistake. The stylist did but sorry you need a new receptionist. read more

Amazing hair cut, very happy and grateful, great service and it make me feel good Thank you read more

ANTONIO DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO CUT HAIR, HE DOES NOT LISTEN TO INSTRUCTIONS, IS RUDE, AND HAS NO CONCEPT OF RESPECT FOR HIS CUSTOMERS. We unknowingly walked into a horrible horrible situation. When we stopped by for haircuts during a recent visit to the beach. We waited for the previous client to walk out - that persons hair was everywhere - absolutely a disgusting mess EVERYWHERE - I asked him if he could clean up and he just ignored me. Fast forward to my 2 yr old getting his haircut: Antonio started yelling at ME when I tried to instruct him on what I wanted for my 2yr old's hair - he started cutting and completely refused to listen to me at all - he repeatedly said it's his style - he ruined my son's hair!!! He then proceeded to give my husband a horrible haircut and yelled at him because he wanted us to tip a full 20% and not less (he charged $25 each and my husband offered him $8, to which he yelled at him for!!). After my son's haircut, I wanted to clean the hair off my son's face in the restroom - this is when it got even more OBSCENE... There was a young man LIVING in the side room attached to the bathroom - a room the size of a broom closet next to the toilet . I left completely disgusted and mortified wondering if I had just witnessed someone who was a slave read more

Awesome haircut! I went there as a walk-in and he understood perfectly what I wanted. I will be back as a regular customer.

Great place. This old man is a hidden gem and super friendly. Solid haircuts at a good price

Horrible experience at this overpriced rip off! Tony gave my dad a five minute "Trim" when I told him a regular short haircut. For $25 plus tip! With no customers waiting! Really. What a gyp... The other clown argued with me that was as short as he could go on my "high n tight"...I even showed him pics on my phone from previous shorter cuts. Come on! Stubborn ass. I asked him first if he could get that close with clippers. No problem! No problem my butt! Not even close enough...never again. This barber shop been there 100 years? Well it needs another 100 to get it right! Save your money, unless you like funding senior citizen's retirements. Old farts are sly con artists trying to do as little as possible... read more

Old school haircut is a rare form of art. Thank you, Antonio.

Last Sunday go at 2 to get a haircut. No one there. Maybe at lunch go back at 3 no one ne there. Fast forward to next Saturday. Sit in parking lot till 9:15. No one shows. They say they open at 9. Get home 9:25 call. Person answering phone tells me yes they open at 9 and he was running for late but " I am here now answering the phone". Go back 1 in chair 3 waiting. So much for my schedule. I see the customer is not important. Do not waste your time. read more

I walked out with my sideburns 1/2" different on each side. Tried to explain how this was unsatisfactory for a couple minutes and just gave up. Easier to use a razor at home. read more

Great news! Manhattan Barbershop in the heart of downtown (1203 Manhattan Ave.) is now open! Call Tony at (310) 545-9058 for an appointment and you won't be disappointed! Great grooming at a reasonable price! I've been a customer for years and I keep coming back! No need to go elsewhere! read more

Tony provided a fast, wife-approved cut and provided great conversation! Great location and very accommodating to walk-ins

Devin gave me nice hair cut and she did every good job, the shop is nice and clean Affordable price and you dont wait long to get your turn read more

Antonio did a great job with my haircut and beard trim! I gave him a picture of what i wanted and he matched it exactly. Best barber in the area. read more

OMG... While walking around in Manhattan Beach looking for a place to eat, I met Antonio DiNardi, an old fashion barber from Italy! If you want old fashion service when getting an {inexpensive} hair cut... I strongly recommend you visit Manhattan Beach Barber shop - visit Mr. DiNardi... Tell him the Sicilian from Sherman Oaks sent you! Grazie Don DiNardi. read more

Amazing Barber shop. Antonio is an amazing Barber. You will enjoy wonderful service in an nostalgic and relaxed atmosphere. I go there regularly and enjoy the wonderful experience there . read more

This is old school. Decided to splurge and do a hair cut, shave, and facial and it was worth every bit. They don't have barbers this good and talented like this anymore. With every dollar I spent. Note, metered parking only in the area. I will be back. read more

I recently moved into the area and was in the market for a local barber, so I happened across this place. I described what I wanted (a pompadeur) and how I liked my hair to lay (including a discussion about my cowlick). The entire haircut lasted approximately 10-15min and included thinning shears (this is a no-no for individuals with thick hair). I wasn't going to leave a review, but I just noticed that my cowlick was lost to the clippers. This may still be a great place if you want a more simple cut, but for me, the search continues. read more

I have been going here for many years. Antonio is such a great man. I get my face shaved here every week. I highly recommend this shop!!!

Great hair cut. Cheap price. This is the place to go if you want the hair of a God.

Very good haircut! He was able cut my hair exactly as I asked him. I really recommend this barbershop. Very nice guy to have a conversation with. read more

My girlfriend suggested I go to Tony for a haircut and he did not disappoint. He is a true professional. Good people, great haircut and great price! Would recommend. read more

Nice upscale barber shop. Friendly barbers with excellent service. A little bit on the pricey side ($23 for a haircut, no discount if its just a buzz, which I am able to get at most other barber shops). Recommended. read more

Just got an excellent cut from George. Took his time and new what to do with my funny hairlines. Much better experience than a couple competitors in the area, will definitely be back read more

Paco is consistently good and responsive to the needs of the customer. He is also frequently available on Sundays.

Tony DiNardo has been cutting my hair for 5 years now, and he is the best barber I have found in the South Bay. Having grown up in Italy, he has been a barber since he was 14, so in a sense, he's a prodigy. He has the gift of being able to look at your head, face, and the texture of your hair, and come up with the best look for you, something so many barbers don't take the time to do, perhaps because they feel rushed. Tony will take his time with you. His artistry, sense of humor, and the "old time" atmosphere of his shop, all combine to make it a great experience every time I go. I highly recommend him. read more

Horrible experience and will never go back and I wouldn't send anyone back there either. We call to see if they offer a straight razor shave and there is a guy that says he does it. Two of us went in to get a shave and I go first. My neck looks like my 5 year old nephew shaved me and I was covered in cuts and knicks. Then my friend goes after me and he ends up getting a nasty cut under his chin-so bad that it didn't stop bleeding and the barber tells him he isn't going to charge him for the shave. What kind of barber would take on work like this if he can't do it right? I can't believe that he is advertising that he does these shaves, he has no business doing that. They charge $23 for the shave and I wouldve been better off going and buying a new proglide razor, extra cartridges, and shaving cream for the same price it cost me to get my face all cut up. Overall, a horrible experience and I would never step foot in that place again. The worst thing is the barber didn't seem to care or think he did a bad job, he was "ok" with the work he did which is what made it unbelieveable. You are better off going to Floyds barber shop in Hermosa or Eddies in Torrance, they at least have professional people working there. MB Barber just has a couple guys that seem to hate their jobs and were not friendly--STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE read more

I have been coming here for 13 years, and the guys are just fantastic. They give a great haircut, and remember and love their customers. I can't recommend these guys more! read more

Worst haircut I've received in a while. I tried to explain what I wanted but the key point was to leave it a little long. I got clipped with a 0, thats no guard on the clipper. I will never go back to this place. read more

This Barber shop should not be used by anyone who did not grow up in the 1950s. I went in there today and had some simple instructions on how to cut the back of my neck and the back of my head / hair. The possibly 70 year old man, who barely speaks English had no clue as to what I was saying. The style I was asking for is very common among Latinos. I also have long hair and am a man. I even drew pictures of what I wanted. The result was that he took my back hair line halfway up my head almost to my crown. I had both barbers there in on the whole thing. neither had a good grasp of English. Both were so confused I am surprised they didn't decapitate me. He also did my beard, but didn't even do a good job on that. It is still crooked. In the end when I looked in the mirror I was blown away. If this guy ever says to you, "I know what you mean ," DON'T trust him. You will be sorry. The only thing these guys know how to do is to make your hair shorter. They are not stylists. And if you are not a native Italian over 60 years old, they will not have a clue about your hair. They will screw it up I guarantee. This business has been there a really long time. Like 40 years. So I don't know why the language is still a problem for them, they have had plenty of time to learn English. After I viewed my horrible catastrophe and was obviously upset about it, he still insisted that I payed full price (23 dollars). He kept saying, "Momma mia, I did-a exactly-a what you -a told me to-a." It was a freaking cartoon. If you did not star on Leave it to Beaver, DON'T go to this Barber Shop. They are morons and will mess you up bad. Anyone with anything other than a 1950 buzz cut should steer clear of this place. They are the type of place where the first thing they say to you is "How much?" They mean, how much do you want them to cut off. Any barber shop that only knows one thing, how to make an existing hair cut shorter, and their only question is "How much," should be avoided I learned today. They are simple folk, and they cut the hair of simple, long-toothed folk. Republicans might like it. Old white men might like it. If the only question you want to answer about your hair cut is, "How much?" then this place might be for you. they should call their shop, "Keep the Same Only Shorter Barber Shop." But then again, they really can't even do that, because before I went in my back hair line did not run through the crown of my head, now it does. Thank you Luiggi or whatever your name is. Shut your shop down and sing opera or something. get out of the hair business. Or maybe Pet Hair cuts they could do? But I wouldn't put my pet through that even. Oh and by the way, when they ask How Much, if you answer in inches THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT AN INCH IS. I kid you not. They have never heard of an inch before, and don't even get them started on fractions of an inch. Maybe they know the metric system or something, but do NOT go into talking about inches. They will be so confused, they will have steam coming out of their ears. This is NOT AN UPSCALE place unless you are a simpleton from the backwoods, which is what I am assuming the previous reviewer of this place must be. UPSCALE??? Are you kidding me? Is McDonalds upscale to you Jordan? Jesus. If you go to this place and have a bad experience, all I can say is I tried to warn you. If you have a good experience, you are probably Country Folk yourself, and probably over 60. read more

Thank you Tony! This barbershop looks exactly like it must have in the 60s, beautifully decorated with old flat top haircut posters and only 2 chairs. Tony is an expert in his field, an artist and a little bit of a spiritual beacon if you are open to the experience. Great haircut AND straight razor shave! read more

Great cut. Inexpensive compared with salons. Barber really knows his trade.
