This is an absolute legend. Super nice and honestly you just don't find old school barbers like this anymore. Mr.Manke it was an absolute honor to sit in your chair on a rainy Saturday for a haircut and a fantastic conversation. If you are in Owosso Michigan and need a haircut please please stop by and see him.
Went with my boyfriend to get his haircut while we are staying in Michigan and needless to say Karl is a first class barber with 60 years of experience. Everything about his shop is eclectic and full of interesting things to look at. He is very personal with each customer and makes sure that you get the haircut you want .and don't forget to stop and look at Karl's many books you might just find one you want to take home ( I definitely did ) ! If you find yourself in owosso and you are in need of a haircut go visit Karl ! You will have a once in a lifetime experience with charm and maybe the occasional polka song! We will definitely be back next time we are in Owosso!...read full review
My 11 year old son really looks forward to his hair cuts. Karl is such an authentic human and we love his old school ascetic in his shop even his polka music. Thank you again Karl for being open for the working class. You really are a gem! Love your farmer fans from New Lothrop 💜
