I was in Brooklyn from out of town in September, 2024. That was the best haircut I had in years. Going back to NYC this month and I'll be going to Brooklyn just for a haircut at Benny's. On a nice morning in Brooklyn, getting a cut here is a good start to the day. read more

Charged me far more than typical ~$30 for the 10 minutes of a half-assed trim. Makes me embarrassed to be Jewish, this shitty place of schmuck. Was more concerned with talking on the phone and nicked me twice too.​ read more

Stopped in here for a cut while in Brooklyn and left feeling and looking great. They take either cash or card but prefer cash. They do walk ins and the barbers are great and really friendly. If you need any sort of waxing done they can do that as well. An A+ barbershop with great service and vibes. read more

The shop is well kept and comfy. Eddy was very congenial and gave me the cut I wanted. I am happy to go the party in style. Thanks Eddy!

Love this spot been coming here for over two years. They are super professional and caring. Great expertise as I am picky with my cuts highly recommended!!! read more

Benny's Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Benny's is the place to go in Brooklyn to get your hair cut. Old school barbershop feel with high quality barbers serving up A+ fades. Everyone is super nice and personable and the service is great. Ask for Jake - he is the man and will definitely take care of you! read more

Jake was able to fix my haircut, with no judgement, after I was given a not so great haircut from somewhere else. Highly recommend this place. I feel great after my haircut and hav been getting a lot of complements! 5 stars for service, haircut, beard, and quality of work. read more

Yuri gave me my favorite haircut I've received in my six years in NYC along with some much-needed advice. Awesome place and good prices

Found reviews for Benny's online and they were right. Jake gave me a good cut and cleaned up my beard good. I will definitely be back.

Went into the shop today for the first time. Made an appointment online, was very easy. Jake gave me a great haircut and shave. He really took his time and I was very happy with the result. They also poured out a few shots, which was a nice touch after a hot shave. Will definitely go back. Check it out. read more

We took our kids there this evening. We'd been having a hard time getting good haircuts for them that were no maintenance ( our youngest won't let us near his hair so he can look like he's had a bowl cut). I talked with Jake about it and he totally understood and gave the boys great haircuts! We were having so much fun, my husband decided to get his beard trimmed. He looks great too! read more

Been coming to Benny's for few years now to get my haircut. Always happy. The cuts are reasonably priced and wait is usually short. Lately have been enjoying a hot towel shave - doubles the price of haircut but is damn relaxing and the face feels like baby's bottom afterwards Jake is great and is who I go to always. Others are also good barbers. Atmosphere very casual and relaxed - TV usually plays sports and guys chat casually in Russian. Great neighborhood fixture and hope they stay in business for years to come. read more

I have been bringing two boys to Jake at Benny's for over a year now. A year of consistently awesome cuts! One of my boys has a tricky hairstyle and Jake has been the ONLY one to pull it off. Kiddo receives loads of compliments on his hairstyle. Everyone at Benny's is patient with my squiggly 6 year old.. and that patience and care has made all the difference to us! In addition to the squiggly 6 year old, I have an 11 year old boy who REFUSES to let anyone other than Jake cut his hair (unless Jake is away, he will make an exception for the other great barbers at Benny's.) Nothing better than going into the barbershop knowing the boys will be leaving looking fresh. We won't be going anywhere else.. thanks, Benny's! read more

For 10 years i got my hair cut at Astor Place,, which is now gone.. Now I travel 120 miles to Brooklyn every month because Jake is the best barber ever. read more

Damn. Two men have cut my hair in the last 20 years (with a onetime affair mixed in), and I was really hesitant to trust another shop once I moved to Park Slope, but it's a heck of a drive to Sergeo's in Little Neck (he's still the king though). I came in Sunday afternoon, and was immediately sat down with Isak. I told him from the get-go that he was under a lot of pressure, and he took in a breath, said "oh" and got right to work. He's very deliberate in his work, so don't expect a rush job. He took care of my skin fade to the point where I immediately felt guilty because I knew this meant I wouldn't be making the shlep out to little neck anytime soon. The ship is pretty damned clean, and the regulars seem to have a great rapport with their respective barbers. I can also see why Oksana has such a good reputation here on Yelp. Found my new barber. Hit up my man Isak when you're around. read more

So many great things to say about this barber shop! They are very friendly, listen to what you want, and just know how to do a great job at what they're doing. I definitely recommend. read more

I love this place. Have been taking my special needs son here for years. Besides always giving him a great haircut, everyone here is so nice, respectful and gracious. We often see Jake, but have never been disappointed with anyone who has cut Sam's hair. Highly recommend! read more

Very professional haircut at a very affordable price. No wait. Efficient and to the point. I had 3 different hairdressers who cut my hair and they were all very good. read more

Came in the city for a wedding. Found this place on google, very hospitable barbershop, with a very solid Haircut. Recommend

This place rocks!! Super nice people and always high quality cut. I will keep coming back!!!

Great Barber! Seriously one of the best in Park Slope. When asked who I would recommends for a cut in the area, I always answer with George's or Benny's. Both are great barbers with a great/professional staff, clean establishment, and reasonable prices ($18 for a guys haircut). The biggest difference from my experience between the two is that at George's you have to be more specific on what you want (i.e. Razor sizes, lengths, etc) whereas at Benny's you can give a more general description and they are able to figure it out (I personally like both options but I definitely know people that would prefer one type over the other). Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be going back. One suggestion I have is for Benny's is that make sure you come before 7pm so you get the regular prices because after 7pm they are slightly increased (which is more than fair in my opinion) read more

What is there to say about the best barber shop in NYC? I'm absurdly obsessive about my hair and have gotten haircuts all around the country. Jake does the best fade, hands-down, that I've ever had in my life (and I'll add that it's far superior to fades that I've paid twice as much for). There's a reason I've been going to this shop for 10+ years despite moving out of the neighborhood a long time ago--there's just no one, anywhere, like Jake. read more

This place is amazing! Great price, nice barbers! First time today, but this is my new spot! Victor is great! read more

What more could you want in a barbershop? I've been going to Benny's for about two years now and it's always a consistently great haircut, with nice service, at a fair price. I'll keep going there every 6 weeks or so until they're inevitably priced out and it becomes some bougie shithole charging $55 and called like Proper Barber or whatever. read more

Just awful. The shop had hair all over the floor. Couldn't step without stepping into a pile of it. I had a picture of how I like my hair and detailed instructions of what to use where and how I like it. Barber cut way to fast, cut and scratched my neck with the razor and the haircut was awful way shorter than I wanted on top. Also, wanted a disconnect without a blend and he clearly didn't understand what that meant. I had to keep telling him what to do but he would then proceed to cut so fast I couldn't stop him from making huge mistakes and cutting it too short. Definitely won't be going back. Poor service, good price, but ultimately not worth it at all. read more

I strolled into Bene's on Friday before Fourth of July and sat right down. The shop picked up soon after. I got a great cut and shave from Jake. Just what I wanted, a low-maintenance summer cut with style. Jake did up nice. $28 for a haircut and shave. You can't beat that. I usually go to a place in the city, but wanted to try something new and Bene's delivered. I'll be back. read more

I have been searching for a place to get my hair cut for a while now. It got to the point where I just let it grow. I wanted a barber (not a hair stylist) with a good price, thorough eye, and good attitude. I found all of these qualities in a barber named Jake at Bene's Barbershop. This place is great. I have mixed race hair that is thick, curly, and grows in a hundred different directions, but it was no match for him. Normally, I leave a place with hair that can only be described as patchy, but this was even and clean. I didn't have to wait at all, but I was warned that they are normally busier later in the day. So to skip the wait, go during the morning or around lunch time. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Bene is solid. It does what it says on the tin. No messing about, did what I asked for - short back and sides, long on top. It's quick, efficient and reasonably priced. $14 plus tip for a haircut. You can't go wrong with Bene. Give it a try! read more

My new favorite Barbershop, finding a good barber is difficult, and finding a barber shop that is convenient for you is even more difficult, I got lucky and found both. I've been in search for a good Barbershop for years, Truth is I know many good barbers who have cut my hair good, the problem is finding a barbershop that is convenient for you, it is very difficult to find a convenient barbershop and good Barbers at the same time, Benny's Barbershop has both, Good barbers and convenience. I've never felt more comfortable at a barbershop in my life, the guys are very friendly and professional, I was literally walking by one day and peaked in by curiosity and the Barber literally welcomed me to come in, and the place was busy at the time, he could have easily ignored me, but he didn't, he introduced himself and welcomed me to come in anytime, his name was Jake. I have been coming to this Barbershop for almost 2 months now, and I love it, 1. For the convenience and 2. Because the barbers are very professional. This is now my go-to Barbershop and I recommend this Barbershop to anyone looking for a Good haircut and/or shave. As good as it gets! read more

I've been coming to Benny's since it opened. I like that when I go in there I really don't need to tell them what I want because they already know. I have been going to Jake since the place opened. He gives a great hair cut and pays attention to details. I would recommended that if you are looking for a great barber then this is the place in Park Slope. The price is decent and they take credit cards. Their hours are great and they are open 7 days a week. read more

I am on a never ending search for a great barber in brooklyn who can give me a tight skin fade and scissor cut the top of my thick indian hair. And boy am I glad I discovered this place.. It is now my go-to barber shop. I used to be picky and wait on the barber I went to last time but lately, I've been trying all of them out and guess what.. They all know what they're doing. Great cuts. Great price too btw PS. the guy in the first chair is alittle "too cool for school" which is annoying. but its okay, ive been to middle school before, i knwo the type. read more

Just went here for my first official haircut in Brooklyn. If you're looking for a local place, look no further. Just go here. The hours are 8:30am - 7pm M-Sat, 9am-6pm Sun. I went at 10 and didn't wait. I'm assuming the later one goes, the longer you'd wait. Looked like only 3 chairs in there. 14 bucks for a lined up haircut. Dude named Sam was nice. read more

I chose this barbershop because of the positive Yelp reviews and the $3-off check-in deal, which means that my haircut totaled $13. That alone is reason to recommend! Of course I expected to wait a bit for my haircut, in the center of Park Slope with a great reputation. I was looking forward to being offered a beer during my wait. But right as I was sitting down, Eric ushered me into his chair and started me up. I was impressed with his care and focus, and he really gave me a great haircut. The other guys there seemed nice, and not at all phased by a woman walking in wanting a men's haircut -- this is Park Slope, after all, I am not the only dyke in the neighborhood. And it's near the Co-op! I'll be back as soon as I can't feel the bristle on the back of my neck anymore. read more

Most of the barber shops that have sprung up the area serving park slope/carroll gardens/cobble hill/boerum hill/wherever have been more on the higher end of the spectrum wherein it's nearly impossible to find a simple men's haircut for under $30. Thankfully, Benny's is around to serve your needs. No frills, no cup of coffee or stella artois, just some long-time barbers who get you in and out with a great cut for a fair price. Any of the guys are good, I usually come in and see Jake because he's a real mensch. You can't go wrong coming here if you're in the market for a good haircut which, let's face it, who isn't? read more

Just the most phenomenal barbershop I've ever been too and I'm a barbershop connoisseur. Jake is known for his high skill level. Better than the Zohan! read more

Benny's Barbershop - Fresh Fade Friday - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Today 1/10/2014 I made the daring move to try a new Barber and after some yelp review searching I tried Benny's Barber. The gentlemen who cut my hair was Jake, cool guy, outgoing and most importantly good with a buzzer and a pair of scissors. As you can see from my rating I had a very good experience. Heres the top 5 reasons why it earned 5 stars. 1. Barber was friendly, took the time to look at the photo I had and assured he could get the job done (also stopped along the way to check in to see if I was liking it) 2. Did a very clean job on the sides and back of neck. 3. Knows how to use a pair of scissors, as I leave my hair longer on the top. 4. Recommended some product that I could use in my hair for good hold and shine. 5. MOST importantly even though he had more people coming in asking how long of wait it was, he still took his time on my hair to make sure it was what I was looking for which was awesome. At $16 for a Haircut, I left satisfied and felt it was worth the money. read more

I went to Bene's based on suggestion of my fellow yelpers and it's proximity to my house. I was a bit worried about how well they'd do on a black mans head, but they did do a good job. I'm fairly low maintenance when it comes to my hair though (bald fade and keep it moving). I've been to other barbershops where they're cutting on your hair for 45 mins to an hour and I always wonder what the heck they're cutting for so long. Pros: I love how I can pop in and pop out and not end up waiting hours just to get in the chair. Sam has cut my hair both times and I have been pleased . I also am a fan of any place that accepts credit cards! Word!!!! Give Bene's a try! read more

Excellent little barbershop. -Fast, rarely had to wait more than 20 minutes for a cut -Open EARLY at 8:30am, very convenient before work in the area -Friendly barbers who listen to what you want and then style it accordingly. -Affordable for the area, $16 per mens cut -Ample metered street parking in the area read more

Came here by chance since they didn't have a long wait. I took my uncle and cousin here for last minute haircuts. It's two guys that cut hair and they definitely know what they're doing. Super nice guys. There's also a really nice HD flat screen in the place and they have Direct TV and let you change the channel if you want. Is there a better way to pay for a haircut than watch cable and a channel that you want?? Nope. On top of that they gave my cousin (who's 10) a lollipop when he was done. Adorable. Plus...the guy also asked me while he started cutting my cousins hair whether I thought the length was sufficient which I thought was extremely polite and considerate. Great place. All guys should go here and all parents should take their sons here. Bonus - they have a hilarious poster of haircut examples on the wall. My fave is #24. read more

Benny's is a great shop - reliable, quick quality cuts. Friendly atmosphere. Jake does an awesome job. Should be your local if in Park Slope. read more
