Joining DecentCut as a qualified hairdresser, I was already skilled in hairdressing, braiding, extensions, coloring, and cutting. However, working here opened up a whole new world of skills for me. I had the opportunity to learn and master the art of barbering—fades, short haircuts, and various techniques specifically for men.
Over the past few years, I’ve grown from being a hairdresser to a fully qualified barber, capable of delivering exceptional service to both male and female clients. The supportive environment at DecentCut gave me the chance to expand my skill set and evolve into a versatile professional.
Now, as part of the Manchester Barber Academy, I’m proud to offer a unique blend of hairdressing and barbering expertise. My journey at DecentCut has truly transformed my career, and I’m excited to continue growing and delivering the best to our clients.”

With over 21 years of barbering experience—from the heart of New York to the streets of Manchester—I’ve come to learn that true barbering is universal: it’s about consistency, quality, and genuine connection with the community.
Since joining Decent Cut Barbershop in Manchester, I’ve found a team that shares these values. The welcoming atmosphere, unmatched professionalism, and top-tier grooming standards make every day fulfilling. What truly sets us apart is our genuine care for clients—not just in their look, but in how they feel.
Now, as a proud member of the Manchester Barber Academy, I continue that commitment to excellence, mentorship, and community service. Barbering isn’t just a job for me—it’s a responsibility, and at the academy, we take that seriously .
“Joining DecentCut through Abi’s recommendation was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Under Sam’s guidance, I quickly mastered the skills and techniques of barbering. Within a few months, I felt confident and capable, and I’ve since become one of the top barbers in the shop.
Today, I have the privilege of mentoring the younger generation and providing excellent service to our clients. My journey has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be part of a team that values growth and excellence. The Manchester Barber Academy is the perfect place for anyone looking to start a career in barbering.”
