As I walked into the store for the first time, I met Eugene, who was immediately very nice and professional. He really knows men’s cuts and is a pleasure to talk to. His work was so good that my partner told me it was my best haircut ever. Since then, I’ve been coming back to him regularly, and I highly recommend him.
Clean fades & scissor mastery — classic craft, modern style
I had an amazing experience with Sam! I asked for a medium fade, and he nailed it perfectly—exactly how I envisioned it. After trying five different barbershops in the neighborhood and never quite getting it right, I’m so glad I found Sam. He took his time, didn’t rush, and paid attention to every detail. It’s clear he cares about his craft. I’m definitely coming back in three weeks. Finally, a barber I can trust! Highly recommend
Always gives a consistently great haircut at a wonderful price.
Been to multiple places for haircuts but this place is absolutely the best. Service and people are great! Highly recommend!
Sam helped me during an emergency. I got the worst haircut of my life the previous night from a different shop and Sam fixed me up and is making me look as presentable as possible. I highly recommend and will be back soo
Best barber shop on the UES in my opinion! The guys are professional and skilled! Highly recommend coming here if you need a shave or a cut!
Eugene is truly an excellent barber. Never rushes and never cuts corners to get you out of the chair. Very skilled and very consistent. Hard to find.
Sam and Eugene have taken good care of me. Eugene has also done a great job with both of my sons who have longer and more difficult hair to cut. They can and have “fixed” haircuts from well-intentioned grandparents.

Classic barber shop! I stop in every month for a quick haircut. Walk-ins are welcome and even when it’s busy, I don’t have to wait long. Eugene is great and always remembers my preferences exactly. Friendly and budget-friendly (men’s cut = ~$35). I particularly enjoy the final touch-ups with an old-fashioned straight razor. Glad to have this place just a few blocks from my apartment.

My approach is simple and honest: I start with diagnostics—head shape, cowlicks, growth pattern, your styling habits. Then I design the form around your features and lifestyle: I choose lengths and textures so the haircut holds its form for at least 3 weeks, doesn’t require unnecessary styling products, and looks sharp without a barber.
