Since 2010

About Decent Cut

Founded in 2010 by Samuel Habte in the heart of Manchester Arndale, and trusted by more than a quarter of a million customers since.

Two decades behind the chair

My name is Samuel Habte, and I am the founder and owner of Decent Cut. My life’s work is in every haircut I give, every conversation with my clients and every moment I spend bettering the community through my craft. Here we are not just cutting hair; we are cultivating style, building friendships and creating a legacy one haircut at a time.

With over two decades as a professional barber, my work has been recognised by my peers and the industry with awards for excellence in barbering. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse clientele, including professional footballers, and every snip of the shears and glide of the clippers is done with care and attention to detail.

I opened Decent Cut in the Manchester Arndale in 2010. It has grown into a cornerstone of the community, where tradition meets modern style. Away from the shop, I treasure time with my family, and as a member of Rapha Cycling Club I love riding the countryside around Manchester.
