Best barbers in Manchester 📍🤩
Ive been going to EA for close to 2 years now and ive watched his business grow into something amazing. Hes talented and down to earth. Along with the top class haircuts he makes you feel like he's more than your barber, he's a friend and thats what a lot of barbers lack, that personal touch makes the whole experience worth it. Couldnt recommend chair and blade enough to anyone out there 👌🏽
EA always delivers a quality cut and pays great attention to detail. He's easy to talk to, takes pride in his work, and makes sure you leave happy with the result. Definitely the best barber around - highly recommend!
Top quality haircuts and great service

BEFORE YOU BOOK
MEET EMMANUEL
Founder, Chair and Blade
My name’s Emmanuel Adjei — to my clients, EA Blades. I’m a Manchester barber, London School of Barbering graduate, educator and mentor. I built my name from the ground up, one fade at a time, through consistency, quality and precision.
That journey led me to become the official barber for the cast of Hamilton the Musical, and to open my own place: Chair and Blade. For me it’s always been about impact, presence, and doing everything with passion.
My vision’s simple: use my craft to help people feel like the sharpest version of themselves. Whether it’s a fade, a conversation in the chair, or the energy I bring to the room, my goal is to leave you better than I found you. That’s why my clients know — it’s all in the fades.
