    A full haircut. We talk through what you want, then I cut, shape, and finish it properly. No rushing, no clippers on autopilot.

    The haircut, with your beard lined out and shaped to match. Sharp from the top of the fade to the edge of the jaw.

  • Full Shape Up (Hair & Beard)£20

    Hairline and beard edged up between cuts. Keeps you looking fresh without sitting for a full cut.

    Beard trimmed, shaped, and lined out on its own.

MEET EMMANUEL

Founder, Chair and Blade

Emmanuel Adjei, founder of Chair and Blade, Manchester

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.
