Reviews of Fades at Eastern Shore Barbershop (Barber Shop)

Ashley Dando

Keep up the excellent work Manny! Job well done every time!!!

Kelly Hale

I apologize for not having done this before. My son is 18 years old with special needs. Getting his haircut has not always been a pleasant experience, but now he loves to go! A friend of mine starting taking him to Manny for a haircut and it has been THE MOST WONDERFUL OF EXPERIENCES. Last month I took him and I couldn’t say more about how absolutely wonderful, kind, patient and beautiful people Manny and Christine are. Manny is a rockstar with my son! He doesn’t just cut his hair but goes the extra mile to make him look great! I didn’t have to support my son once because Manny had it handled, so I was able to relax and chat with Christine. Truly blessed that they are local and we can enjoy a haircut! Who knew! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love and respect The Hale’s

Manny has been amazing with my kids, makes them feel extremely comfortable and listens to what they want. Very professional and fun!

We've been clients of Manny's for the past 3 years. He cuts and shaves my two younger son's hair, both under the age of 10, and touches up my short styles with fades, shaves, scissor cut trims, whatever it takes to help my look feel fresh. My oldest has sit happily through a full fade a number of times. It's a treat to visit Manny and Christina at their new shop, and to be greeted by their sweet pups. Manny is calm, cool and collective. He's easy to talk to and great with kids. My boys feel confident and oh! so good about their hair when Manny's completed one of his creations with their locks. His work is on point, detailed, precise and of excellent quality. We are so pleased to have such a talented barber in our community. Thanks for all you do Manny and Christina, can't wait until our next visit.

Amanda Purvis

He was amazing with my son, spoke to him the whole time and engaged in conversation which made my son much more comfortable. He gave him exactly what he asked for. We will definitely be returning

With Manny, you always feel like a friend is giving you a haircut, almost feel like home at his barbershop. The quality and the details in the haircut and beard trim he does is exceptional. My son is very comfortable with Manny, he likes to go there, play games, watch TV, get his haircut, he gets the haircut he wants, a good place to spend a good father/son time. Thanks Manny for the service you give us!!!

This is officially my son's new favorite place! He was always a tommy guns guy but I convinced him to try someone local and now he only wants to come here lol Manny was super friendly and kind to him and his shop is so cool and retro looking. We are officially new Manny customers!!

Manny is one of the most passionate Barbers I've ever had the pleasure of getting a cut from, his attention to detail is unmatched, he is very kind & personable. I've encountered a few barbers that rush through the cuts to get to their next client, every cut I've received he takes his time and makes sure his clients are satisfied before they leave.

Matt the Mechanic

Manny and Christina are some of the best people around. Very comfortable atmosphere. Manny takes great pride in his work, very professional. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Steve Knights

Fades did a fantastic job! I got a great hair cut and a beard trim for an important job interview. I'm happy to say I got the job! Thanks Manny!

C Crocker

Love coming to Fades! Both Manny and Christina (and now Julie) treat my boys like family. They talk sneakers, basketball, and working hard! I loved my boys hair cuts so much, I asked Manny if he cut women’s hair and then I went for it and got all my hair cut off! Love my barber cut. It’s the most compliments I’ve ever had and it makes me feel confident. His lines are so clean. We enjoy the homey atmosphere, the puppers, and the cool decor. Highly recommend!

Eliana Ibáñez

Manny and Christina are the best! My boys love Manny so much. We appreciate all you do for us and the community. Thank you!

Mr. Christopher Marshall

Amazing barber shop. Great people, great haircuts and they take pride in their work.

Chris Snelgrove

What can I say about this guy and his work, not enough positive words exist. We are more than happy to drive that little extra distance from where we live to get 3 of our kid's hair cut by Manny. He is professional and his lines are dead on, greatest fades I've seen. In fact now when I am out I can pick out great fade and a not so great fade on someone else. Till you have seen quality first hand you may not really know what quality is. In the past I even trusted him to do a full straight razor shave on me, great experience, let me tell you. If you need a cut try Manny, you'll likely never be happy anywhere else.

Steve Olsen

Legit the best haircut you'll ever get! Manny is an artist not just a Barber. You get the real experience in his chair. Manny and Christina are amazing people and always make you feel welcome.

Tanya Murphy

My 7 year old had his first cut with Manny as all his friends were bragging about him so he had asked to go! Manny and his wife were beyond accommodating, friendly and professional. My son usually leaves in tears as he does not like hair on his neck! However this time he left with the biggest smile. He even commented about how Manny uses the paper around neck and the blower to get the hair off! That one this 7 year old and his mother over! Not to mention the awesome design in his hair and the cute as heck dogs that kept me entertained while I waited! We have definitely found our barber for years to come! Manny and Christina are awesome additions to our community!!

Justin Clements

There isn’t a cleaner cut in the city , I have been going to manny for over 2 years now and I get compliments everywhere. When I’m out people I don’t know will approach me just to ask who does my fade. 10/10 would recommend manny he’ll give you the cut you want and make you feel like family while your there

Daniel Ross

Great harworking people friendly service producing great haircuts.

Darlene Fader

Won't find anyone better!

Kyle MacDonald

Manny is the man, hands down best haircut I’ve ever received. He makes you feel very at home and very comfortable! Highly highly recommend Manny and have to many people.

Kelly Greenland

After our first visit we knew this was the place for our boys! Besides the amazing haircuts, Manny and Christina are such kind and generous people. The cost is more than reasonable and they treat the kids so well that even they look forward to haircut day! We can not recommend them enough.

Michelle Wolthers

My boys are so happy with their haircuts. Manny was amazing with them and with listening to what they wanted. He is the king of fades!

Amanda Marks

My son loved his hair!

April White

Always have a great visit with Manny! He is awesome with my boys and is very patient! He even has surprised my son with a birthday treat! He always does a fantastic job and we have never walked away unhappy! Not to mention how much he and his wife do for the community! Definitely they will continue to get our business!

Lorri Arnold

Both my husband and Son go to Fades to get their hair done. Manny is extremely nice and professional. He strives on doing the best job (not the quick in and out like at the mall) he truly takes pride in his work and makes sure your happy with his work. Hes more then just a barber, hes an artist. We are always getting asked who our barber is and were proud to say Manny the barber :)

Heidi Fraser

Amazing! My son has comfort issues with strangers and is quite shy, but Mannie found a connection with him and made him feel so important. Ben always looks so handsome when he leaves and asks when he can go back:) BEST.PLACE.EVER.

Megan Griffith

Manny is absolutely number one. I'm not gonna lie I normally am super cheap for my kids hair cuts. But for the quality and especially the caring inviting atmosphere here we will be life long customers.

Nick Pettipas

Best place by far in NS! Best fade! Clean and family friendly place! Feels like home.

Summer Sanford

Awesome service, my husband loves his haircuts by Manny! They look amazing!

melissa louvelle

I’ve taken my toddler here multiple times. They are FANTASTIC. They do everything to accommodate busy toddlers, make them feel comfortable and enjoy their time there. Highly recommend Manny and his team for your haircut needs, my little guy always leaves looking great!

Dom Gerroir

Manny and Christina are friendly, professional and genuine. Manny is the most artistic barber I have ever seen!! They always make me feel welcomed into their shop and make sure that I am happy with the service I receive. 10/10!!!!

Vilma Jakimczuk

Manny is a wonderful barber my 7 year old son use to be so fearful of getting hair cuts. Manny was kind and made him feel safe took his time showing him the clippers didn’t rush the haircut. He had such a wonderful experience he only wants his hair cut by Manny. I have also taken my two other boys and they love getting their hair cuts by Manny. It’s a wonderful barbershop we will be returning for haircuts in the future.

Sara Brushett

We love manny! My son says no one can ever touch his hair again! And no one ever will Manny is so patient and kind with kids. Christina is amazing and we love the doggies! Cannot possibly put into words manny’s talent and dedication to making every one of his clients happy and comfortable in his shop He also has no problem giving advice or styling tips to us parents! Just overall a great shop and owner, the best there is!

Jake Cameron

Good first experience, nerve wrecking to switch barbers but Manny did a great job. Will be back for sure! Hot Towel Special was easily worth the price. Seemed to really take his time and care about the end result.

Josee Deschenes

Manny did an excellent job on my hair cut/tatoo (big snow flakes)for Christmas A+ for Manny and Christina !!!

Amanda am

Love my side shave hair design! I can’t wait until it grows back in enough so I can come get a new one!! Thank you so much

Tonia Stevens

I would recommend this place. Very highly skilled barber, and a warm and inviting atmosphere!

Andrea Redmond

I booked my boyfriend in for his COVID cut lol and he was very happy with it and I loved it too!! Lol and that beard oil Christina and Manny make up is the bomb! ???? love ❤️ the smell of the Miami Nights ???? we also got my boyfriends little boys haircut and he gets so many compliments on it! Manny is very professional and always gives an awesome cut! We’ll be back on Tuesday Manny! Lol

Maria Erman

Manny is awesome, gives a great cut, makes you feel comfortable. My son enjoys getting is hair done by him. Thank you Manny!

Alicia Graham

Manny is the only barber my son will go to! So glad we have him on the shore!

John MacMillan

Went in for covid cut....finally. Manny did an awsome job! Relaxed atmosphere and very professional. Prices reflected the service you got and believe me you got top notch service!

Jess Canning

My son has been getting his hair cut by Manny for years, even before he opened this shop when he worked for someone else. He loves what he does and it shows. A friendly atmosphere, with good conversation I suggest Fades to anyone looking for a barber. You leave the shop feeling like you just left a family members home, and that alone says alot. Great place, great people.

Roxanne Pace

I had first made an apt with one of my sons to check this place out upon opening as the location was nice and close... I wasn’t long making another apt for my oldest!! This man is not only amazing but the work is unbelievable... I have never seen someone so proud of there work and it shows in every cut he does ..his customers are his greatest fans and alongside him is his wonderful wife who helps make this all happen , they make a wonderful team and the greatest hairdressers on the shore!! Hands down -5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Amy Slade

We’ve been bringing my son to Manny since before he had his shop in Porters Lake! His hair cuts are the best!! Such style and designs! They always support our local kids in their sports! Makes us feel like family at the shop! You will not find a set of kinder people! Plus the puppies are an added bonus, especially jakey, I just love him!

Carl Leahy

Manny and Christina are such a positive presence on the shore.. we are lucky they choose our eastern shore community to open their business . I never had my hair cut by anyone else since I started using them….????

Chris Mcdonald

Great people great haircuts good prices The barber that cut my hair paid very good attention to detail I would recommend

greg smith

Great hair cut and beard trim, great people who care about there clients and they put the full effort to make the customer happy and comfortable. The Best barber shop around.

Melissa Miller

Love everything he does! My son can’t wait to go see Manny! His haircuts are amazing and on budget! Thanks for everything ya do!

Greg Veinotte

Was a first time customer who went based on google/ Facebook reviews and will definitely be a repeat customer for sure. Knowledgeable, professional, and cannot believe I never heard of Manny before this. I highly recommend Manny at Fades for all your barbering needs!

Valarie Delorey

My son has gotten two haircuts at Manny so far and has loved it each time. Manny is so caring and takes such pride in his work. He is meticulous and takes his time to do it right (doesn’t rush you in and out in 15 minutes). Clean lines, nice fades and quality cuts! If you are not close by it is worth the drive to go see him. We drive a half hour each way and are happy to do so!

Anthony G

Haven’t been to Manny’s new barbershop, but can’t wait to visit. Great barber and all around great person. Would 100% recommend this barbershop shop to anyone in Nova Scotia.

Rob Biddulph

I’ve had many stylists and barbers look after my hair but I’ve found a true perfectionist in there craft, every aspect of my hair and beard is always sharp and on point!

Candy Dubbs

Manny is the only barber my son will now go to! He is very picky about his hair. Manny does an amazing job every time! They are very professional and friendly. Highly recommend you check him out!

zack ladouceur

Does a bomb job everytime and price is good, I dont get much done when i go but is real handy with the razor

Angela Pettipas

My husband and 2 of my boys regularly see Manny! I also have gone to see him for a side shave design. We love our visits to their shop and recommend Manny to everyone! Not only are both Manny and Christina friendly and professional they make you feel like family. They are a huge part of the community and would help anyone in anyway they are able.

John Warner

Manny and Christina are the best! I’ve always felt welcomed as I come through the door, and received nothing but top notch service each and every time. The hot towel shave special is a steal of a deal and you leave feeling like a brand new man. Manny has been cutting my sons hair for a few years now and he has said in numerous occasions “nobody touches my hair but Manny” and I can’t say that I blame him. From tight fades to cool original designs he can’t be beat. Highly recommend visiting them at Fades at Eastern shore!

Kathleen Manson

Manny always does a great job in my sons hair. My son loves going there and is always proud of the great cut he gets. A real gem in our community

Benjamin Leedham

I've been going to Manny for about 5 years and recently moved 30 minutes further away from his shop however it's worth the drive. I know every time I'll get a professional cut from a barber who cares about his job and treats his clients like family.

Justine Wade

I took my little guy to see Manny for his first haircut. Manny was so good with him, made sure he was comfortable and happy and gave him a great cut! He went from little boy to a handsome dude. Manny is a lovely person and the shop is clean and has a beautiful view! Highly recommend!

Georges Salamé

Amazing, just amazing! I came in as I didn't know what to do with my over grown beard. In 30 min he made miracles. My wife was raving. Both Manny and his wife were extremely friendly and welcoming. I will be back and I highly recommend!

Brent Chiasson

Manny is fantastic! After jumping barber to barber after my guy moved to dt Halifax, I found Manny. He is a master of his trade. It's a great feeling getting a great haircut after receiving so many medeocre ones! Brought my son, who is almost 3 and manny is great with him as well! Keep up the good work!

elegant creations

You are both loving and kind,and I can personally attest to that. When we moved from Porters Lake to the Bay of Fundy, my husbands wish was for cut from you Mandy. I called Mandy and explained and she made it work for my husband. You went out of your way to serve, and serve you did with kindness

Holly Russell

My little guy refuses to go anywhere else now. He loves the do he gets and so does everyone he passes!
