Best old school barber shop in the city, or anywhere for that matter. Steve runs a tight ship and only the best barbers can work for him. In order to work there you must make the first week cut (excuse the pun) but the ones that make it are tops in the field. There is a reason that every chair is filled throughout the day. Never had a haircut I wasn't happy with read more

The Best The Best The Best I love this place and so does my son. We always come here for our cuts! read more

Great haircut today by Jess. Easy to book. listened to my needs and gave me exactly what I wanted.

Have gotten a haircut from Mustafa several times now and it's been perfect every time. Even though I moved out of the area, I still plan on getting my haircut at Bedford Barbers. read more

Updating my review! Had a haircut I wasn't quite happy with and Steve offered to fix it up for me. Extremely pleased with the clean up and now I'm stoked to have a barber in my area that I can rely on. Kudos to them for not having an ego about the issue or making it awkward. read more

Just a note that if you don't like dogs, don't bother coming here. They had two dogs, a Boxer and a very friendly/hyper French bulldog (I believe.) This place is a bit pricey but it is a haircut in the area. All the barbers are nice and there are a whole lot of them. I usually wait around 10-15 minutes or so depending on what time I get there. I've never had a bad cut personally and I've been there several times already. Short review but hey it's a barber. read more

This place is the ONLY barber shop, that I've been able to find, that does RAZOR CUTS. I have very fine hair and I've found that haircuts done with a straight razor are best for me. I ALMOST gave up trying to find a barber who would do it; it used to be commonplace! Perhaps it is a tradition is disappearing. Anyway, the gentleman's name is "Mustafa." I later learned that he does highlights too! Next time, I'm getting BOTH. read more

My go to place in Manhattan. Steve, Gary, Raphael, Uncle, and everyone always does great work here. They're friendly, chill, and patient. I've never had a bad experience here and I know I never will. read more

"Great Space and nice barbers" I used to come here years ago when they were located on 60th. I was in the area and really wanted/needed a haircut. I was in and out in 30 minutes, which is pretty good for a Friday. There were about 6 barbers and there was a variable age range of clientele. My barber did not chat with me too much, which I like because I was having an annoyed day. The place is pretty clean and new (since they recently moved). A basic cut is about 18 bucks; I pretty much got a shaven cut all around. I thought that this was a little pricey, since I used to cut my own hair but this may be the standard rate in the city. However, the barber did a razor shave to line me up and there was a hot towel treatment after, so I guess that goes into the price. Also, the dog, Dutch, is a cute addition. read more

Been going for 10 years. Steve and his brother Gary are the best! Great service and attention to detail. I always walk out feeling like a new man and never disappointed. read more

I've been going to Steve at Bedford Barbers for quite some time and never been disappointed. I can always expect a clean haircut and professionalism. Aside from the good vibes and great hair cuts, Zeus the barbershop Puppy is always friendly and playing with customers! 10/10 recommend. read more

Oh boy I was in for a rude awakening the barbers razors were unsanitary his mask was halfway on my haircut was uneven and sloppy my sideburns 1 was way shorter than the other the haircut took him near a whole damn hour to cut! I didnt get his name but he had on red sneakers I will not be returning and will let my colleagues know as well. As a walk-in I was unsatisfied for a $38 haircut the owner should have employee supervision at all times this is unacceptable! read more

Consistently great haircuts and beard trims. If you don't give them 5 stars, something is clearly working with you!

I haven't found a better barber in Midtown. The haircut is always decent and the atmosphere is pleasant and... normal.

The best barbers in Sutton Place/ Midtown East! Maybe the best in NYC. Great classic barbershop overlooking E57 and 1st Ave. Mike is my barber but based on what I see, they are all really good. Haircut, Beard Trim & Razor Shave heaven! read more

Awesome Barber Shop! Have truly never had a bad haircut. My ten year old begs to come here. Steve and the crew always do a great job of making sure we always feel welcome and leave satisfied. Very clean, great music and the perfect atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent service. I got a skin fade with beard trim/line up. Price is great. Kevin, my barber, was top notch. He takes his work seriously. **my husband wrote this on my account. Emily W. does not have a beard.** read more

Consistently great haircuts and shaves. Now that they have an online booking service, it's even better !! Gary doesn't rush and the results are uniformly excellent ! read more

Outstanding barbers! I've been going there to cut my hair for 5 years and it's been always great. The vibe is super cool too!

I followed these guys over from 59th street. Although it's a little further from my place, it's worth it. It has more space with hardwood flooring and lots of windows overlooking 1st Ave. The service is still fast, although there's always a line. It's the same people, and you get the same haircuts, shaves, hot towel wraps, etc. Still the best deal out there. It's $18 for a men's cut (cash), $19.50 (credit). Make sure you bring cash for the tip though because that was not an option for the credit card. Don't be put off by the wait. It's never that bad if you can still get a seat in the waiting line. They have 6 people cutting, and the haircuts are fast. Service is phenomenal. Super friendly. The dogs are wandering around being cute. read more

This is a five-star establishment through and through. My guys are Al and Ruben. The barbers here go out of their way to make you feel comfortable from the minute you walk in the door. Last week I was feeling a bit adventurous and went for one of those pompadours the kids are going crazy over. Al said if I didn't like it after a couple days, to come back and he'd sort me out at no cost. Prices are reasonable, music is good, and the hot towel at the end is a nice touch. Cheers. Update: Al and Ruben have moved on, but Mike and Joe are still around and they are both fantastic at what they do. Expert barbers and very responsive to each customer's specific needs and requests. read more

The Dominican guy that was stationed next to the cash register in June, gave me the best haircut of my life. I moved to Florida the week after, and got an incredible amount of compliments which is unusual for me. read more

Touch of Brooklyn in Midtown East. Cool shop. Good Barbers. Great Service! ...i'll say; these boys do a proper beard and head shave! many thanks, Arthur!!! read more

This place is the best barbers in NYC, hands down. They give you the same high quality experience every time you come in and it's well worth the wait. It's reminiscent of the barber shop you see in movies: Hot shaving cream? Check. Straight razor shave? Check. Hot towel afterwards? Check. Amazing haircut? You know it. I followed them here from their 59th St location and honestly I would follow them to the moon if they moved there. I come here all the way from Jersey (2hrs) every 10 days and I probably pass 50 barbers shops during my trip... But this isn't just a barber shop, it's Bedford Barbers. read more

Love these guys! My husband has been going here for over 5 years, and a couple years ago I decided to give it a go as I have short hair and the price is right. Steve, the owner usually cuts my hair and he is very careful not to give me a "guy" cut. Today I had my haircut by Danny, who has only been there a week, and he was excellent as well. The new location is very nice and more airy - definitely a huge advancement in digs! I highly recommend Bedford Barbers - you can't get a better cut in the city for the price. They are very friendly, consistent and it is walkin which I like because I never know when I will have a moment. Tip: try to go off peak hours (daytime, non weekend) for less of a wait. read more

I've been coming here for 6 years now, and I wouldn't even think of going someplace else. Every single barber that works here is fantastic and knows what they're doing. I've had my hair cut by multiple different barbers here and they're all capable of giving me the exact cut that I want. The owner, Steve, is a great guy and runs a great shop. The vibe is relaxed, the view down second avenue is beautiful, and the prices are extremely fair. I honestly can't recommend Bedford Barbers enough, they've treated me like family for six years and I'll be coming back for many more to come. read more

I have been coming to Bedford Barbers for years now and it's a incredible experience ever time. Between the hot towels, the amazing haircut, and great vibes it's the only place to get your haircut in NYC. Every barber that Steve (the owner) has working there is caring, experienced, and a true artist with the clippers. I had been to many barbershops before finding Bedford Barbers, but now I only go here because I trust them, they are always accommodating to my schedule, and it feels like a community when you come in. Everyone knows your name and it's a fantastic cut every time I leave. I used to live in the neighborhood so it was easy as well, but even after moving all the way downtown I still make the time to go to Midtown for the best haircuts in the city. Highly recommend. Try it once and you're guaranteed to love it. read more

I've been coming here for years and I don't give 5 stars often, but this place has yet to disappoint me. Every haircut has been great and every barber does a good job, which is crazy because just based on the law of averages I would've thought at least one would have been bad (jk). In all seriousness the barbers are great, the music they play is always on point and the doggies are awesome, although I didnt see them last time (maybe cuz of Covid). 5/5 read more

The best. Great guys, great barbers, and super f-ing clean! Highly recommend this place read more

Great cut as always. Very professional staff. It's very clean and there are masks to grab when you are done. COVID friendly. Steve is the best! read more

The new shop on 57th Street and 1st Ave is very nice. I always come here when I visit the big apple. You can always rely on Gary giving you a clean fresh cut. read more

Been coming here for several years now and usually leave with a great haircut. Today a new guy cut my hair, not seem him in the shop before. Older guy, gray hair, mustache. The experience was not great, he didn't seem to understand what I was asking for, I asked for short and textured and messy on top and what I got was close to a flat top! As I tried explaining what I wanted one of the regular barbers had to come over and tell him what to do! Got to the point where I figured it wasn't going to get any better and called it a day. Stick with one of the other barbers and you'll be golden although this has left a bad taste in my mouth after years of great cuts here. read more

Poor customer service, I don't recommend it. Nice and clean place but unfortunately I will never ever go back because of what I have experienced today (poor customer service)! read more

Bedford Barbers is the only place I'll go for a haircut! When they reopened after the lockdown, I was one of the first in line and was amazed that they didn't skip a beat. They follow all of the COVID guidelines perfectly while still providing amazing service. Steve and the rest of the Bedford Barbers team are simply the best at what they do! read more

I've been a returning customer for 8 plus years now. Steve and company always takes care of you. You always know you'll get a clean cut and have quality conversations when going to Bedford Barbers. A hot towel at the end of the cut is just an added perk of coming here. AND that's not to mention the playful doggos!! read more

I don't know about haircuts.. But I would not take my chances with beard trims. Very unprofessional. Almost destroyed my beard. read more

I came here based on a client's recommendation and the Yelp reviews. I've been here 4 times. Each time I left unsatisfied. How difficult is it to have a "4" on the sides, hair parted on one side, and keep the front longer than the back? Each time I left looking like a monchichi. I don't believe in telling the barber what to do in the middle of their work. I risk him being unhappy/annoyed and most of all a bad haircut. If I wait till the end then it'll be too late for adjustments. Either way I'm SOL. The shop: Conveniently located. Easy to find. Well lit. Decent benches in waiting area. Good chairs for the customers. Service : Pros: 3 of 4 were quite friendly and made an effort to build a client customer relationship. All 4 consistently used the hairdryer to blow the hair off of me. I never left the shop with hair in my ears, neck and the back of my clothes. 2 of 4 used a hot towel for my face near the end. You would think theses "pros" would be normal but not every barbershop offers this. Cons: Lacking basic service. Gel/hairspray wasn't offered at the end for 2 visits. The use of a mirror to show the back of the head wasn't offered for 3 visits. They knew I would notice their oversight on the cowlick. I've given this place plenty of chances to keep my business. I am unsure if I'll ever come back. My critique is strictly for the 4 barbers I had seen. Not for the whole shop. I wish I remembered the names so that the shop could improve the training of its barbers as well as for other reviewers to confirm/deny my review. In context newbie barbers are usually free and available vs well established ones. If I wasn't in a rush I could've done some research in asking for someone more experienced. 2 stars for unsatisfactory experience and below average service. read more

Best barbershop i have ever been. Great value with really nice professional staff. Efficient and clean.

Great place. Best to call ahead on the weekends but they've almost always been able to see me same day. Steve is awesome. My son loved his Mohawk. Thank you Steve for bringing some sensibility to the original full 'hawk request. read more
