Dennis is literally the man ! At first when I came in to Made Man I was very hesitant to try a new barber, since my last barber had cut my hair since I was born. Unfortunately he had passed due to Covid, so I was forced to go through the uncomfortable and annoying task of finding a good reliable barber that understands what I want. Dennis had made everything so easy, gave me such a tight fade with a comb-over and nice royal shave for my beard. It’s safe to say he really took care of me. Literally best 100$ ever spent, I’m glad to say I have finally found my forever barber!!!

I got my hair cut and beard trimmed today at Made Man on 15th and 8th. It was a very strange experience. I walk in, and I'm greeted by an older gentleman who may have auditioned for the role of Konstantin in Killing Eve but was too shabby. He directs me to a crisp, well dressed and tattooed younger man who could be an extra in a Jason Statham action movie. although his dress clothes are well tailored enough it seems unlikely that he's ready for a fight. The place is empty other than these two, and no background music. As we get started, it becomes clear that my barber doesn't speak English, so while we can communicate enough to get the things done, it's otherwise dead silent for the 30 minutes I am in there for a cut, trim, and straight razor shave. Now, that good news is, everything worked out well, and I think the haircut looks good. However, I am unconvinced that the place is not a front for something out of Alias. I realize the bad guys in that usually used nightclubs, but I guess times have changed.

Walked in and had no wait, barber was skilled and efficient, great cut, great attention to detail, reasonable price. And a great-looking shop, even.
