Tom gave me a fabulous haircut. It was done just right and I loved the result. In addition, he was just wonderful to speak with about our shared USN adventures in the 70's to the present day. He was a true gentleman and such a great conversationalist. It was a pleasure to visit his business. I look forward to my next visit. Carl S read more

Tom is not only the best barber I've ever had he is also one of the finest men I have ever met. I have been going to him for a few years now and he has been cutting my 3.5 year old son's hair for about a year. He will try to charge you less money than he deserves for what he does. If you want a great haircut and shave with the feeling that you've walked into the home of a good friend you should go see Tom. read more

I've been going to Tom for well over 10 years and can barely remember getting my hair cut by anyone else before him. Tom is one of the most genuine guys you will ever meet and he will always make sure to do things the right way! You get a great haircut, a straight razor shave, hot towel to finish, and great conversation along the way! You will never find a more traditional and quality barber than Tom! Through college and moving to different states each summer for internships I always found a way to make it back to Tom for each cut. It was not until this week when my hair simply got too long for me to wait any longer... so unfortunately I had to break my streak for the first time in years by going to a new barber. I can tell ya, after going to Tom, my goal was not to just find a barber, but to try and find someone that could get close to Tom! He's truly the gold standard of barbers and I will recommend him to anyone! Still going to try and make it back to Tom any time I can for both a cut and some classic barbershop conversation! read more

Tom is a great barber and a pleasant person. I get my hair cut and also my son's. He is great with kids.

While traveling around the U.S. it was time for a flat top cut. I tried Tom at Manor Oak and walked out very pleased. He is a perfectionist as I am when it comes to my hair cut. Wish I didn't live in Florida, a bit far away for regular cuts. Loved all Tom's military support and his friendly demeanor. read more

I've been in Pittsburgh for 9 years and have been searching for someone who knows how to craft the perfect flat top. My search ended when I walked into Tom's shop. Tom's a friendly barber who's a perfectionist. I'm very happy with my cut and will be back in a few weeks! In the meantime, I plan on bringing my three year old to see how he does in the chair! read more

A real barber at long last.....worth going to, great price, but more than that a very good haircut. I am very fussy about my haircuts, and had had a bad one.....he fixed it and hardly charged me enough to do it. I will return! read more

Tom is as classic as Tom Sawyer. The location is a little snarky, but the service and skill make it worth seeking this place out. Tom takes the time to cut your hair exactly as you want it and uses timeless technique to do it. The conversation which is as important as the cut is priceless. I have had too many deep chats with this man to mention. Each cut/shave does end with a hot towel...as it should. If you are looking for a real barber with decades of experience (and service to our country in Vietnam), get your but in a chair at Manor Oak Barber Shop. read more

I moved to Pittsburgh recently and was looking for a barber. This shop came up with great reviews and I saw that it was a veteran owned business so I gave it a try and I was impressed. Tom gives a great haircut with all the classic barber shop techniques--scissors, not just clippers, a straight razor shave, a hot towel. His conversation throughout is the best part though. He's a very nice gentleman and I highly recommend his shop! read more

If you are looking for a good barber in the South Hills, look no further! Tom at Manor Oak Barber Shop simply does and excellent job. He has been my barber for years and I would certainly recommend you give him a try. When you are in Tom's chair, you'll get the attention you want from a barber. He takes the time to do the job right and does not miss the details. Always friendly and courteous. Nice touches like a hot towel if you want one and his rates are very good. If you try Tom once you'll keep coming back. read more

i have been here twice now. this barber shop is exactly what i was looking for. Tom gives a great haircut in a comfortable place, though it is tucked into a corner of an underused shopping plaza. it is definately worth the trip for Tom's use of the tools of his trade. I was looking for a professional guy that used a straight edge razor to get a good close shave to the back of my neck and gives a great haircut at an awesome price. read more

I've been searching for years to find a barber who could actually do a perfect flat top. My search ended with a trip to the Manor Oak Barber Shop this past Saturday. Upon walking in the door, I was greeted with a big hello by the owner, Tom Grove. I waited while the two people in front of me had their hair cut by Tom and was really impressed by the friendly conversation that was going on between barber & customer. When it was my turn to hop in the chair, I was greeted by a big welcoming handshake from Tom. I was quite apprehensive as Tom started to cut my hair, especially since I had no idea whether his claim of being a master flat top artist was true or not. But my fears faded as I watched him work -- he really did know how to mold a great flat top. I told him that I wanted my head to look completely square and that's exactly what I got (plus, he did it completely free hand!) The shop is a throwback to the shops of yesteryear, friendly, inexpensive and a barber who truly knows his craft. By the way, Tom still shaves the back of your neck with a straight razor and, get this, you get hot towels on your face to top off the experience. if you're in the area and in need of a haircut, do yourself a favor and stop in to see Tom at the Manor Oak Barber Shop. You won't be sorry. read more

After walking out of another chain hair cut place that was supposedly tailored to men disappointed - I said enough is enough. Boy am I glad I rolled the dice on this place. It's tucked back deep in the shopping center that contains Citizens bank, Dukes, and Max and Ermas. Very cool old school style shop, and Tom is extremely friendly and talented. The shop itself is small and contains two restored old-school barber chairs circa 1950s/60s. He actually took the time and paid attention to details - as many of you may know, details definitely make the difference. At the end of the haircut, I was surprised when he lathered my neck with warm shaving cream and shaved my neck with a straight blade razor - excellent touch. He then followed that up with wiping down my neck and steaming my head with a hot towel. Just FINALLY being able to get a great quality haircut would have earned 5 stars, let alone all the little touches that made this such a great experience. The low cost was definitely icing on the cake - just be sure to bring cash instead of card. There is a citizens bank right out front, so that made it easy as I did not know this. read more
