What we do
Haircuts
01Scissor and clipper work built to hold its shape past the first shower, checked in the mirror before you're done.
Fades & tapers
02Skin, low, mid or high, blended guard by guard so the line disappears instead of announcing itself.
Beard trims
03Shaped with shears and clippers, cheek and neck lines cleaned up with a razor for a beard that holds its edge.
Hot towel shaves
04A steamed towel, a proper lather, and a razor pass with the grain and then across it for a close, calm shave.
Kids' cuts
05Quick, patient cuts for younger customers, with the mirror close by so they can watch and get comfortable.
Color & styling
06Styling and color work to finish a look, done after a conversation about upkeep, not just the one day it's fresh.

Call to bookCut for the regrowth
Every cut is shaped to still hold up in three weeks, not just for the walk to the car.
Mirror before the cape comes off
You see the back and sides in the mirror before the cut is called finished.
Told straight, not talked into it
If a style won't sit the way you want it to, you'll hear that before the clippers start.
A shop built around the chair, not the clock
The Man Cave Barber Shop runs on a simple idea: a haircut should still look right when you wake up for work three weeks later, not just when the cape comes off. Every visit starts with a conversation about what your hair actually does on a normal morning, then the clippers and shears go to work on that, not on a photo that only lasts one day. Fades are blended by hand, necklines are cleaned up with a razor, and you get a look in the mirror before anything is called finished.
“I have taken my son a few times now to Manny and the haircut is precise every single time. The price for the haircut is worth the time and cut.”
“I recently visited a barber shop for a haircut and beard trim, and I had a great experience there.”
“I hate getting my haircut … there’s seriously nothing in this life I dread more - but my guy did an amazing job on my mid fade.”

good to know
- Do I need to book ahead?
- Booking gets you a chair without waiting around, so it's the more reliable way in. Call and we'll be straight with you about how the day looks if you're trying to walk in.
- I don't know what to ask for — is that a problem?
- Not at all. Sit down, tell your barber what bothers you about your current cut and what your week looks like, and we'll work out the shape from there. Naming it is our job.
- Do you cut kids' hair?
- Yes. We work at their pace, keep the clippers calm, and let them watch in the mirror so a nervous first visit turns into an easy one next time.
