Founder, Manager
Manzell Robertson
I’ve been a barber for over 34 years, and this craft has become more than a profession — it’s part of who I am. As a high school teacher and a licensed instructor in this field, I take pride in sharing my knowledge while continuing to sharpen my skills every day.
I cut all textures of hair and work with clients of all ages, from infants to adults. My schedule runs on time, with no waiting, because I know how valuable your time is. At The Man Behind the Chair, I aim to give each client a quality experience that’s consistent, efficient, and worth coming back for.
