Jorge is amazing! I always get compliments on my hair every time I get it cut The service at Barba is outstanding read more

Really love this place, so glad I found it. Always get a professional, fashionable cut & color here. Danny is amazing with superb taste.

I've never dyed my before and Daniel said I didn't really need it l, but he evened it out for me and the service was top notch. After dyeing my beard Daniel washed the remaining dye off my beard, after 20 minutes. I recommend having a podcast handy for that wait period. After the wash he touched it up, dried it and I was on my way. The service is well worth the detailed brushstrokes Daniel uses on your hair, making sure to grab every single strand. It was an unexpectedly great pampering experience. I don't think I need to ever try and dye my own beard again after this. It was a very relaxing and also unexpectedly serene experience. Location is about a block and a half from the subway. I took the 1 train down from the UWS and it was so quick. I have already recommended it to my friend. 5 star, white-glove like service. read more

THE worst haircut I've ever had!!! If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I usually never write reviews unless they're exceptional or horrendous, and unfortunately this one falls into the latter category. If I could give everything to turn back the clock and run away from this place, I would. Having had several mediocre haircuts in the past, I'd done a significant amount of research to find some of the most highly rated salons in NYC. Barba seemed to be up there with the best of the best. After deciding Barba was the spot, I had visited each of the artists Instagram pages before settling on Jorge, who's work seemed really great and in line with the type of style I wanted to go for. So I reached out to him, made an appointment and that was that. Came into the salon, he washed my hair as per the usual routine when you get your hair cut, and then I sat in the chair and we discussed all of my hair concerns, how much length to take off, etc. I even showed him pictures of the type of look I wanted to achieve. We were in agreement that i wanted to do the following: cut off the dead ends (only 1-1.5" to still maintain the length), long layers, but no short angles in the front because I am a low maintenance girl when it comes to styling my hair (don't have time to blow dry etc in the morning before work), and then cut curtain bangs in the front, blending everything together. He starts cutting my hair little by little, and even picks up a piece to show me how much he was cutting from the bottom. I felt reassured, as it didn't seem like a lot was being chopped off. I'm not really sure at what point things started to take a turn for the worst, but by the time he started blow drying my hair, I realized that Jorge did not listen whatsoever to me, and had essentially ruined my hair. I'm talking, hair texture, length, and style, all of the above. He cut close to 3-4 inches off, he created jagged edges in the ends of my hair (see images attached) making it look fragile and thin, lifeless and limp, which is an extreme departure from my hair looked like before. I asked him to cut the curtain bangs up top shorter, and he was extremely hesitant to do so. For what reason? I don't know. From what I gathered from his Instagram posts, he seemed very competent in cutting face framing curtain bangs. I told him I'm very unhappy with the cut overall, and he told me he would go speak to his manager. I go to the front desk, and wait there for the manager to speak to me. Eventually he comes up, and without saying a word, puts the card reader machine in front of me, asking me to pay. I told him I thought Jorge was going to speak to you about the issue, I guess that didn't happen. I explained to him how Jorge completely missed the mark on the type of look I was going for, and how unhappy I was with the cut. The manager says, "well I think it looks fantastic!", to which I responded but you are not me. He then proceeds to walk away, and I am left waiting at the front desk for 10 minutes or more, without any word from anyone. I am the customer, and if I am paying a lot of money to have a haircut done ($130), and I am telling the hairdresser explicitly what I want and don't want, with pictures to demonstrate the look I'm going for, my expectation is that those things are listened to and acknowledged. Furthermore, I also expect that when I communicate my concerns about the haircut, that it is not what I asked for at all, that my feelings are not dismissed or ignored by someone else saying they think it looks great. I am truly horrified, as I have truly never seen my hair look this way, and I am worried it will never grow back the same way after being ruined by a scissor-happy hair butcher. read more

I am obsessed with how good Barbs is! I see William for a cut and David for color and EVERY SINGLE TIME they do an incredible job. My hair is full, growing and it's thanks to the both of them. Usually after a few visits, the service decline but it's been a year and they are so consistent. It is showing in my hair, it hasn't looked this good ever. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. From my first step into this grooming salon to checking out my beautiful hair after the amazing Payton had his way with my hair, this shop is everything. Gay owned, inclusive, and beautifying. Only come to Barba if you're goal is to look amazing. Upon entry, they took and stored my coat- handed me a Stella and boom, off to the chair. Payton was incredible. Trusting him with my hair was a great decision. They started with a wash, cut, then styled for the gods. You must stop in. read more

always a good experience. Omar is amazing and always great conversation! Super friendly staff.

Jorge is the best! Best blowout for curly hair. He never disappoints. This salon exceeds expectations and it is very inviting. Everyone is professional, friendly, and courteous. read more

William gave me a phenomenal fade, probably one of the best I've ever gotten. His attention to detail is outstanding, and he makes sure his work is flawless and speaks for itself. read more

Recently my new barber in Manhattan had made a change in venue and I found him over at Barba. Intrigued by the look of Barba, I was eager to try it out now that my barber found his new home there. I'd say that Barba hits somewhere in between as it's not exactly a barber shop but not exactly what I would call a salon as well. I'll call it a great men's grooming experience. A nice reception area is on the left as you enter, and the staff was very nice in getting me checked in so I could go back and get my head shaved/beard groomed as a walk in for Dave. A bit more upscale than a routine barber shop, I like the feel. It is clean and well designed, keeping a masculine feel while giving a nice impression. I like that you are offered a beverage during your visit, nice touch. Dave did his usual awesome job as always, two thumbs up. All done in a timely manner but with attention to detail, I am pleased with the outcome. At the end, the front desk again took good care of me out during check out and making sure I didn't have any other questions. Bottom line: Dave and the staff at Barba gave a great haircut experience, I am pleased! I plan on becoming a repeat customer, keep up the great work guys! read more

I wanted to get a hair and beard cut for the first time and was nervous to finally get it done professionally. I was booked with Erwin for an appointment and could not be happier with the experience. Was asking questions the entire time, making sure it was what I wanted and confirming looks with me beforehand. My beard turned out wonderful, and will definitely be going back to Erwin from here on out. The entire storE was a welcoming and cool atmosphere that made getting the haircut perfect. read more

Beautiful atmosphere, customers are very kind and my favorite hairstylist William works there! Definitely will be back again in few weeks! Highly recommend this salon to everyone! read more

I love Barba. Their professionals are welcoming and polite. Emily cuts my hair and does an excellent job.

My initial experience as a first time client wasn't a 5* rating but after the business owner Xavier reached out, we spoke via email and he handled the situation with the upmost care and professionalism toward me as a client. Therefore wanted to give Barba a second chance. I'm so glad I did, I can't recommend Xylar enough!!! A total artist and perfectionist when cutting my hair, advising me and making sure I was completely satisfied. I've not had a good haircut like this in a loooooong time! I will be back for sure and I will definitely be repeat client of Xylar. Thank you Xylar and thank you Xavier. read more

Long overdue review of Antonio - went to 5 spots throughout manhattan before I found Barba (at their old location). No hassle, no unnecessary frills but great service and, most importantly, really solid haircuts. I've been going here monthly for about a year now, and gone through a fair amount of different styles. Antonio always listens to whatever general vibe I want and last time around I trusted him completely and have been getting lots of +1's on a great cut. Most importantly, Antonio and everyone at Barba that I've met are genuine, fun and very talented stylists that really care. The great service and easy booking system is an added bonus. read more

Barba Grooming Boutique - Antonio working his magic - Hair Stylists Near Me - New York, New York

I've gone three times in the last couple of months and have had great experiences each time. The first two times, I went in and got a nice clean cut by two different stylists and this last time went Antonio. I asked him to do something edgy and he was quick to throw ideas and execute them. I love my cut and will continue to go to him to get a cut that's exciting! Love the atmosphere, the staff is great and the music is always so good! read more

Yes, this is exclusively a men's salon, but if you're a female and lucky enough, you just may get an appointment with Xavier (the owner). We were there for about 5 hours, mainly do to the color correction and cut I so badly needed. My fiancé received a buzz and shave with steam and lavender essential oil! We also convinced our 3 year old to sit for a trim and it was only because she loves Xavier! ;) One last note: every man who walked in and out at the time we were there had nothing but amazing compliments to their stylist. Highly recommend!!! read more

Had a great first impression when I switched over from Barba after more than six years at my previous place. However, on the second round I was told that the person that did my first haircut was no longer there so I nervously took the chance again, but to my disappointment it was a very mediocre haircut. Xavier saw this and invited me back in - next thing you know I am walking out with probably one of my favorite cuts and beard trims in the longest. That's what you call customer service. Don't think twice, just come in and walk out a new polished man. Thanks! read more

Steve did truly the best shave I have ever gotten! I followed him from a previous salon. I took a relaxing nap, 20-30 mins, rose up, and was thrilled with the results. This place brings quality and accommodations up a notch to the next level. Couldn't rate this place any higher, beautiful, spacious, and professional, with. Relax vibe. They also have a steam machine that I never had before that makes your skin extra smooth. Love it!! read more

Great experience from beginning to end. Daniel provided a phenomenal haircut paying attention to every small detail. Thank you

Payton H. has been cutting/styling my curly hair for ages -- I will follow him to the ends of the earth (ok, maybe not Staten Island). He's a master with the scissors, and if you have curly hair you know how hard it is to find someone who knows what they are doing. Barba is clean, inviting and all are welcome. read more

I love two things about this place. One the commute.. it's right near my building. Two, Emily, who is fantastic at her craft. I have wavy hair and Emily knows exactly how to cut it. I consistently walk out with a great cut every time at a length that is just right. Other bonuses about this place is that it's spacious and offers free beer! Who doesn't love free beer? read more

Like an upscale version of a friendly neighborhood salon with a fun relaxed vibe and, most importantly, excellent service.

Great haircut, and they have really invested the time and expense to make the space safe and clean.

Got a really great haircut by Placido and helpful suggestions for managing and styling
