Outstanding service and high quality is the best way to describe this barber shop. Ive been a client of Mannys for several years and what keeps me coming back is that I know Ill be getting the same great cut and beard work everytime I visit. Keep up the great work!

A picture is worth 1000 words. Attached are 2 pictures of the atrocious haircut I was given here. Uneven from side to side, uneven across the top with no deliberate pattern. Definitely worse than some cuts I’ve given myself during the pandemic

Ive been going to Dominic for a little over a year now and ALWAYS get a fantastic haircut. He pays close attention to what you ask for and always makes sure you leave his chair looking ready to take on the world. Everyone in the shop is friendly and I dont think Ive ever seen a bad haircut walk out of there from any of the barbers.

Went in to get a design on my undercut and had a great experience! I booked online last minute (night before) which was simple and convenient. The place was clean and inviting and the undercut design I got came out great! Definitely recommend this place and will be going back myself.

I had my first post-lockdown haircut with Lory, and its genuinely the best my hair has ever looked. For what I paid, I got incredible service. She took her time and was very careful to match what I what I asked for. I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks!

My barber had a gentle touch and didnt wreck my scalp. We had a good conversation, and she was perfectly safe in her respect to COVID. 5 stars!

Last month altered image was fully booked, so I went to another barber shop. What a difference in quality, I will never go to another barber shop again. Hands down, altered image barber shop is the best in Rochester.

Review №11

I dont think Ill ever go anywhere else! My stylist was Lory. She took the time to talk to me about my cut, listened to what I wanted and also offered input and suggestions for my style and hair texture. She showed me pictures to also help clarify what I was looking for. Friendly and personable and very attentive with the cut, taking the time time and effort all the while checking in to make sure I was satisfied with what she was doing. Hair wash and style is included with the premium haircut. I observed the other barbers, and they too were very interactive with their work. The prices are very reasonable. I made an appointment online, but I believe they take walk-ins. I would highly recommend!

Manny and his team are all amazing! They each put in the work day in and day out to provide their clients with the very best experience and quality in service. If you want a quality cut, in a professional and clean environment and like timely appointments, I highly recommend you book an appointment with any of the barbers at Altered Image.

Review №13

I’ve only had one bad experience and that was when 1 of the barbers I won’t give names was late and never did contact me about my appointment 30 mins late is ridiculous and even if he was behind schedule he could have at least contacted me saying so, so I had to reschedule with another barber for the next day one who I had already gotten my hair cut from George is a very good barber. But other than that it’s all been a good experience

Review №15

After my second visit, I found it necessary to alter (no pun intended) my original review. Lory took all the time that was needed and displayed a level of focus that is commendable. She was also attentive and as the cut went on, she noticed things about my hair and asked if I wanted her to change things that I was already planning on asking her to change. Thats what I look for in a barber.My first visit was basically a walk-in after my previous barber up and left town with no warning. I was very thankful that Altered Image was able to get me in on such short notice.

The gentleman that cut my hair was a real professional and I walked away with an excellent cut. The music was on but we could still talk over it even through our masks. George took my requests in stride and provided advice and options as needed. Based on this experience I will be coming back.

Manny and his crew do great work. The environment is welcoming and there is always great banter between the barbers.Manny has even been able to fix a botched cut from a less talented barbershop. This is the only place I will go from now on.

Got me in right away without an appointment. I just needed a quick touch-up, and the guy spent more time than he needed to (good thing, not bad) to make sure he did a good job. Really appreciate the great service.

Altered image does a phenomenal job, I go to Lory and she always gives me the cut i want and makes it looks perfect, very nice person, definitely recommend her and the whole shop to anyone looking for a barber.

Review №22

It was my first time at the barbershop, and I think my first time ever being cut by a white female, and I must say I am pretty satisfied. It was an after-corona cut, so I was a mess, and they cut me pretty good. It was unfortunate that I couldnt get a full beard cut because my face had to be covered at all time as a new covid 19 measure. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the service and the price

If youre searching on Google for a barbershop like I did then look no further. Great place. George is my barber there. Ive been to MANY different barbers over the years and George is one of the best. The haircut comes out perfect every time. And I mean PERFECT. Tight fade, edge up and beard. He is meticulous and just a good guy to have a conversation with. So stop searching and just ho see George!

My haircut experience with Altered Image Barber Shop was topnotch in every way. The barbershop itself has excellent lighting and decor and is pristinely clean and well maintained. The online reservation system at the altered image website was easy to utilize. Upon arrival I was greeted pleasantly and my haircut with Stacy began promptly at the time I reserved. Stacy carefully queried me about what type of haircut that I wanted, then, blending the little that I told her, and, her own skill, proceeded to give me the best haircut I have had in the last 20 years. The atmosphere among the barbers and the customers is casual and pleasant. I would recommend this barbershop to anyone who wants a topnotch haircut in a bright, cheery, barber facility with a great atmosphere.

This place is great. Clean and stylish shop, but simple with good energy. Dom knows whats up! Took his time to dial in what I was looking to get, especially cos I didnt even really know myself when I walked in..hyped on how it turned out tho. Great atmosphere, no b.s. barbershop doin it right

Review №29

You cannot go wrong with this place. The owner Manny is a great dude and always makes you feel comfortable and welcome. The haircut quality is top notch. I have never had one issue whatsoever with my cuts. He will simply not allow anything but perfection to leave his shop. I love the laid back atmosphere of the place. Time goes by fast while you’re there and there are always good conversations to be had. I would recommend this shop to anyone, young or old. Really happy to have found a place I can trust. Every two weeks for me!

Just got a cut from George... Very good barber. Talks to you throughout the cut to make sure everything is okay, not waiting till the end to see if you like it. Very attentive to details, not rushed. They say they take walk ins but I made an appointment, it was very easy . Rest of staff friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and am going back! Thanks George!

Review №36

I originally always stopped by Altered Image to grab their infamous Suavecito Matte Pomade Hair Product. Every time I’d stop by every staff member is open friendly & will make sure you’re taken care of even if they have a customer. I decided to give them a shot & for about the last 6 months or so this is the place I get a haircut! All them of have are patient, efficient, creative, content, & upbeat while making not only their haircut are in rhythm but so is their is music! 😂 George Z does a great job of this because he values what you’re looking for by re assuring what he’s going to do to get you looking good! They offer a variety of different services to make sure not only is the hair is good but so is the beard or eyebrows etc. They not only make ya feel good but even look good by cool apparel they’ve creative that will match your haircut & let everybody know after the continuous positive feedback where you got it from! Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhhh buddy! 🏆

Review №41

I grew up going to a barber who was very particular, taking his time and making sure everything was just right. Since that time, I have never encountered a barber who matched his level of preciseness, until I met Manny. For the past two years, my 20 year old son and myself have been going to Manny, and we have never left his chair unsatisfied. He not only has amazing skills, but a great work ethic and a true desire to make you happy. His attention to detail is remarkable. Check him out. You will be more than pleased!

I moved to Rochester and had no clue where to get my haircut. A friend hooked me up with Manny, owner of Altered Image Barbershop. Hands done best barber in Upstate. Ive gone here ever since I moved to town. He will do anything you want from designs to fades to beards etc. To add the man is the funniest barber with great conversations during the cut. I can honestly call my barber my friend and love my haircut every time I go. If you want to look like a classic man, head here.

Review №52

Very good haircut. Fellow took his time, did things the right way. While it wasnt the best haircut Ive ever gotten by any means, it is certainly high quality and Id definitely suggest visiting their shop. The online portal for reservations is easy and convenient as well.EDIT: with all due respect to the owner, a relatively passive aggressive response to a fair, honest, and straightforward review isnt the best way to keep a new customer. Ill gladly be more specific next time around, but calling into question one of your clients isnt a great look.

Let me be completely clear, Altered Image barber provides what is the absolute best barbering, service, and experience that is possible in all of Upstate New York. Just tonight I walked in to Altered Image with a picture in hand of an intricate shooting star design that I wanted to have designed into my hair. Well let me tell you that not only did Emmanuel Tamayo (the creator of the Altered Image brand) do an absolutely amazing job of making my wishes come true but he also made the design look BETTER in My Hair then it even did in the picture!!! I must say that I am absolutely stunned by the Tremendous level of skill exhibited by the Altered Image barbers and I would absolutely recommend that anyone, Girl or Guy, set an appointment with Altered Image as soon as possible as I can attest to the fact you Will receive the Best Hair-Cut of your Life!!!

Dominic at Altered Image Barbershop is one of the best barbers Ive ever had! His talent, along with his expertise & personality, is the reason I clear my schedule to get groomed regularly! He goes the extra miles and makes sure I leave his chair photo-ready (so I can go straight from the shop to an event, dinner, back-2-work, etc...)!

I have been going to Manny for more than 2 years. He is easily the most skilled barber I have been to and continues to impress me. Tight fades, smooth blending and clean edge ups coupled with his eye for new trends makes him one of the best. I would highly recommend going to him for your next cut

Review №59

By far the best Barbershop in Rochester. I had the pleasure of having my haircut done by George Zahran, and i plan on having him cut my hair in the future. Atmosphere was amazing, you have barbers with the best attitude and spirit cutting your hair taking pride in their work with efficiency and cleanliness, its not everyday you go into a barbershop and feel like the seats and the tools they use are brand new. Absolutely the best haircut ive had in a long time where i feel that it was worth every dollar spent and then some. Shout out to the barbers there that i had a pleasure meeting George, Stacy, Dom and the owner Manny!!

Stopped by and received an incredible cut from Eddie. The shop was very professional and from the moment I walked in I knew I was going to get a good cut. I do a tight fade leading up to a modern pompadour with a disconnected part and he did an awesome job. Nothing but good things to say about the experience.

Not satisfied at all, overcharged for the poor haircut which I could do it myself.When I went home and looked at the mirror saw that there is a lot uneven parts and he didn’t even bother touching my top to make sure it is shaped good.I mean for 20$ and good reviews you would expect decent haircut butI guess I am wrong.
