The Manchester Salon

This award-winning training academy and friendly unisex salon on the Northern Quarter / Piccadilly border is a great place for a very reasonably priced cut, colour, shave or some nail work.

It's open to the public Thu - Sat and for the rest of the week, professional barbers and hair stylists are training the next generation. It means that you get great skills for bargain prices.

Gents - the beard trims are excellent. The manager, master craftsman James Williamson, can tame your beard or moustache into something you love, and his haircuts are exemplory. Meanwhile, staff and students flit around colouring hair, putting in extensions, making you a nice coffee and even asking what you want to hear on Spotify.

Now that's good customer service!
