When we decided to open MEKK Barbershop, two things were especially important to us. We wanted to create a convenient barbershop for our clients and build a team of experienced barbers with a diverse range of skills. Our barbers come from different places and cultures, with experience working across many different hair types and styles. We knew that if we wanted to serve the diverse community of Manchester, our services and skillset needed to reflect that.
This is why our barbershop is conveniently located in Manchester City Centre. You’ll find us in Ancoats, Manchester, just a short walk from Stevenson’s Square in the Northern Quarter. We offer a range of haircutting and styling services to suit many different hair types, styles, and preferences, while maintaining the MEKK standard of consistent quality throughout every service.
Main Cuts & Styles
The core of what we do at MEKK is crafting precise and consistent haircuts that suit our clients’ preferences, hair type, and lifestyle. Our barbers are experienced across a wide range of styles, from sharp skin fades and taper fades to more relaxed scissor cuts and longer styles. We also offer cutting services for textured and curly hair and are specifically trained in cutting and styling Afro-Caribbean hair.
Our approach is always to understand what the client is looking to achieve with their style and the level of maintenance they’re willing to commit to. Once we understand this, we create a style that suits their goals, routine, and hair type. If you’re looking for an experienced barber in Manchester who understands what you’re looking for and can deliver clean, consistent results every time, then MEKK Barbershop is for you.
Beard Maintenance & Hot Towel Services
Alongside our haircutting services, we also offer beard trims and beard maintenance at MEKK to give our clients a complete freshen-up. A well-shaped beard requires just as much care and precision as a haircut to ensure the clean line work and balanced shaping properly complement your face. Our beard trims are carried out with close attention to detail, ensuring everything sits sharp and symmetrical.
To give our clients a more relaxing and premium experience, we also offer hot towels so clients can sit back and enjoy their appointment. We finish our hot towel service with a few spritzes of Scented Oud cologne, known for its deep and luxurious tones, to leave clients looking sharp, feeling refreshed, and smelling great. Many clients choose to combine a beard trim and hot towel with their haircut, creating a full grooming experience that leaves everything looking clean, sharp, and well put together.
Braids & Dreadlock Styling
One of the services that sets MEKK apart from many barbershops in Manchester is our braids and dreadlock styling. We have a dedicated stylist based within MEKK Barbershop offering a range of styles, extensions, and specialist services. Whether you’re looking for loc re-twists, styling, repairs, or a variety of braiding options such as cornrows, stitch braids, two-strand twists, and box braids, we’ve got you covered.
We also offer more advanced styles like barrel twists, knotless braids, faux locs, and human hair curls. Each service is approached with quality, precision, and care to ensure clean and long-lasting results.
If you’re specifically looking for braids or dreadlock styling in Manchester, this is something we specialise in. You can view more of this work and explore different styles by visiting our specialist’s Instagram by clicking here, or enquire directly through the shop.
Not Sure What You’re After?
If you’re ready for a switch-up but aren’t sure what style you’d like, we offer consultations to chat through your ideas and help you decide on a style that suits you. Not every client comes in knowing exactly what they want, and that’s completely okay.
Our barbers take the time to understand your preferences, your routine, and what will realistically work for you. This ensures that every service, whether it’s a quick tidy-up or a full restyle, is approached with the same level of care and attention.
Reliable Barbering Built on Quality & Consistency
No matter your style or hair type, you can be assured that our barbers at MEKK Studios will deliver a service built on experience, consistency, and attention to detail. Whether you’re coming in for a fade, a scissor cut, beard maintenance, or something more specialised like braids or dreadlock styling, MEKK Barbershop in Ancoats, Manchester can help you.
We’d love to see you, so feel free to book an appointment through our website or drop in for a walk-in whenever it suits you. Click here to go to our Instagram to see more of our work and stay updated with what’s happening in the shop.
