Man, I went here cause I needed to fix a bad haircut I got somewhere else.. Yuri and Miranda not only fixed it, they re-did it entirely and made it 100x times better. Feeling clean and fresh, and very grateful for this new neighborhood barber shop. On top of the quality, this spot is super affordable and has a really nice atmosphere. Big mirrors, plenty of space. A lot to love at Benny's! Highly recommend. read more

It's disappointing for me to write a negative review, as I've been a loyal client of Benny's Barbershop and Salon since this barbershop first opened on Classon Avenue many years ago. Unfortunately, the past three visits have left me frustrated. I usually book with Yuriy, who is an excellent barber and has always given me great haircuts. The issue is that Yuriy has not shown up for my last three scheduled appointments made through their online booking system. That system allows you to choose a specific barber and time, but if the barber doesn't actually check or honor those appointments, it defeats the purpose. The first two times this happened, I got a haircut from the other 2 barbers in the shop; one the first time, the other the second time. The results were ok--not bad, but not at the same level as Yuriy's work. The third time, Yuriy again didn't show up, and one of the other 2 barbers called him. Yuriy was apologetic, and asked me to come back the following day at a specific time, which I did, but once again he didn't show, and after waiting around for 15 minutes, I left. I don't mind trying different barbers, but once I found a barber I like I prefer to stick to him. if I book a specific person and they repeatedly fail to honor appointments, it feels unprofessional and unreliable. At that point, there's no reason for me to keep booking here when I could just walk into another shop. It's unfortunate, because Yuriy is truly very good. But unless the booking system and reliability improve, I can't recommend this barbershop if you want a specific barber to cut your hair. read more

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

Came for a taper + beard line up.. original agreed price was 55. When i asked if he could trim my beard further, barber agreed with no issue. When it came time to pay... the price suddenly became 75 because apparently asking for touch ups is extra. When i questioned why this wasn't brought up when i originally asked, he just smiled and nodded his head. TLDR: overpriced, mediocre haircut, not transparent. Don't even bother with this place read more

Minus star if I can. This is the WORST barber shop ever. I shown him the referred pictures for 2 times and keep reminding him that my hair was too short, but he seem confident in his unprofessional badly skill, he always siad it is ok , it is ok . Finally I got the really badly weired hair cut. How ok is your ok ????? STAY AWAYS from this barber shop. You can see the provided photos to know that how unprofessibal of this barber!! read more

Walked by, saw $15 for a "beard cut", and I just needed a hair clipper to shave my neck and chick, basic stuff, but then as soon as I sat on the chair the guy said it was $25. I mentioned that on the sign says $15 for a beard cut and that's all I wanted and he started insisting on shaving my hair too, since I'm bald. Even tho someone else was working on my beard, the same guy kept insisting and I said I was fine, then he made a comment like "are you Turkish?" because I didn't wanna shave my head (I'm a Latino guy btw LOL) and was asking questions about where I live and what barber shop I go to; overwhelming, uncomfortable and a bit racist. I'll never ever go back to his place. read more

TERRIBLE! It used to be good but its awful now. The staff here are ridiculous. The guy who cut my hair didnt listen to anything I said when I told him how I wanted my hair cut and he was FACETIMING WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND why he was cutting my hair. He fucked it up multiple times and I had to get it fixed. So inappropriate! read more

This is a review for my last appointment 08/01/2021 with Yuri. The previous two appointments Mike cut my hair and he deserves all 5 stars. So, make sure you book your appointment with MIKE and make sure he is the one to actually cut your hair once you are at the salon. Mike is honest, kind and listens to what you ask, so he cuts your hair the way you would like it to look. The appointment I am reviewing was on 08/01/2021 with Yuri, who charged double the amount featured on the website and cut my hair the way he wanted it to look, not the way I asked for: much shorter than I asked. I booked an appointment on the website with Mike and selected regular hair cut which is listed as $30, the one I always get. The price listed is the same as the previous appointments, $30. Even though I booked an appointment with Mike, I was redirected to Yuri, and was asked to wait, although Mike was available. While I was waiting someone walked in with no appointment and was directed to Mike, to my surprise. After waiting some time Yuri cut my hair. I said I didn't want it short but it was cut short anyway and I was told very rudely to let him work and that he knows what he was doing. After Yuri cut my hair, I was charged $59.35 instead of $30. When I asked why is that, Yuri said that this is a "style cut"; "this was a cut with scissors not with a machine"; "the last times were not style". When I got home I checked the prices on the website once again: I was charged for a "Home call visit" which is $59. I was charged double than what I booked. Regular haircut, $30. I was charged for service at home, while the haircut was in the salon! The haircut itself took approximately 15 - 20 minutes and was not a complicated one, all in all it required shortening. When I was asked to provide feedback for my experience ('how was your experience?")I left a comment selecting "unknown charge" as the problem. I got back an e mail saying: "Next time please come Monday when Yuri not going to be here". There will obviously not be a next time. read more

Booked a time, showed up, sign is out but door is locked and no one is picking up the phone Waited outside for 15 minutes before deciding to move on Also: prices online don't match prices on the sign outside the shop so they might overcharge you if they actually show up First time "customer" but shit place I guess, book your haircut somewhere else where there's actually a barber present read more

I was a walk in. I have long hair and a beard. Came out feeling refreshed and well taken care of. Benny is a cool man! My new go to for maintenance! read more

The service was outstanding, professional barbers with attention to detail. They cater to the customer and you get a automatic free shampoo and a pleasant surprise at the end! read more

Just went in to get a haircut and I could not have left more disappointed. They will charge you more than what your appointment says (it was supposed to be $32, it came out $45 even though I tipped zero) and they did not listen to what I wanted, at all. When I was explaining, they interrupted me as if they were annoyed I was explaining what I wanted and cut my hair the shortest Ive ever had it even though I repeatedly stopped her telling her I wanted it left long and that she was cutting it too short. The haircut came out well, but they didn't listen to what I wanted at all. read more

No matter who you try to book with on their website, it's always some random person when you show up. The shop owner doesn't care about creating reliable service and overcharges for poor craftsmanship and outcome. The barbers don't listen to your requests and lack confidence. I had to repeatedly ask my barber to fix my fade and not touch my hairline, but he buzzed my edges back so far that it looks like I'm balding. Steer clear of this place. Yuri is unreliable and overpriced. read more

usually go to bennys to get j regular buzz cut and lineup. went today around 6:10 pm and buzz cut was done fine, but barber pushed back the right side of my hairline and messed it up. very upset and displeased with this. read more

I was walking by Benny's on Franklin today and saw a guy with curly hair in the seat, and it looked good. So I went in. Yuri was able to get me right in. He was great. He spent time explaining good hair care, took his time shaping my hair (long and curly), and was a very friendly conversation. By the time he was done, my hair looked the best it has in years, felt clean and healthy, and I walked out feeling like I knew how to care for my hair in NYC. Price was very fair and Yuri didn't hard sell products. I will definitely be going back. read more

Got a great haircut here as a walk in! Will definitely be returning soon for my next one

Fresh cut with Yuriy, haven't had a fresh style for 2 years. Easy to styled he designs my hair and teach you how to style my hair. Great and look forward to more adventures with Yuriy. Big shout out to Yuriy again! Not only did he do a nice job on one haircut, but he blueprints all the style and keep it consist. Yuriy is the man! read more

I've always compared people who cut hair with people who run their own consignment/vintage shops. Its all about the eye of the person who owns and runs the business. Honestly, before you find that one person you rely on to cut your hair just the way you like it, you go through a whole bunch of trial and error at the mercy of the person holding the scissors. With that said, Benny's seems to be staffed with barbers who are able to hit a home run almost every time! They all appear to have a natural intuition in terms of what would look best for the client. I have seen the shaggiest of men walk through their doors and walk out looking FAR better than when they came in, regardless of age or how much hair they have on the top of their head! Reasonable prices and extremely skilled barbers. Don't hesitate, just do it! read more

I went to get a haircut from Yuiry about 6 months ago. I walked out very pleased, with a haircut that framed my face nicely, looked natural and the way I wanted. He gave me many pointers on how to care for my hair from the proper shampoo to use for my hair needs, a healthy way to shampoo my hair, how to give myself a blowout, and other products that help protect my hair from heat and give it shine and products I should avoid. I felt like I was going to a hair doctor, not just a barber. I took notes and followed his instructions on how to care for my hair. Now, months later, I have never loved my hair so much. My hair is very soft, with a restored shine - i think the last time I remembered my hair feeling so healthy was probably when I was much younger. read more

Yuri stopped me on the sidewalk and I took a chance and I love that I did! He shaped my mullet up so nice with precision and speed, I will def come back next time I'm in the city. Come check them out !! read more

Benny's Barbershop - Mans yuri with the pose! - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I popped into to this salon asking if they do haircuts for kids --I was with my nine year old son. The welcome was too warm to resist. And I sat on a bench watching as Emmanuel's tresses came falling off. Having lived in the UK for ten years, I have become enamored if boys wearing their hair long and luxurious - and this must have shown on my face when one of the stylists, Eugene, smiled and warned the owner, 'stop-- she can't take any more!' That's when I was invited for a consultation - my hair was in a bad state: frayed and breaking. But I had become used to this over the years. Eugene turned me around and i can't believe how gorgeous my hair looks and feels after one sitting. I wish I took pictures-- I got my first professional color in probably three years with a high end French brand. I was also guided on the correct way of shampooing-- and consulted on conditioning, which both stylists insisted was more often than not, unnecessary if your hair is getting the right shampoos free of detergents (low pH), parabens and preservatives. After a blow out--where the owner had a close inspection of the color treatment and was very satisfied- I looked like Jackie O...no really, very chic shape. I look forward to Eugene keeping my hair in good condition with more regular trims and protein treatments to keep these follicles healthy. As a mother of two sons, and a full fledged career-- this was such a wonderful experience of being cared gift. And I'm definitely bringing my husband- who becomes putty in my hands after a good shampoo massage. These are talented, generous and hospitable people.Emmanuel came away with a French Men's Shampoo' to replace the baby shampoo he was proud to say he enjoyed. Trusted artisans-- you will be very happy you came! read more

Awful service. I had an appointment and he was 40 minutes late to get to me. Others who got there later were given haircuts before me. The haircut was also terrible. I repeatedly told him to give me shorter hair on the front of my face to frame it, he would say, "the master knows" but never did it anyway. Was also a generally creepy man trying to teach me to comb my hair while holding my hand. Never coming back and would not recommend to any women. read more

It is always a hassle finding a new barber when you move but sometimes the first time is the charm. They offer a discount for new clients and take walk-ins. Yariy set me up with a great haircut along with a handy lesson on proper hair care - check out a shampoo brush.They definitely are going to make a regular out of me read more

Yuriy gives awesome haircuts and hair advice. Was able to get a really clean fade and cut. Went there twice requesting for a different style each time, and Yuriv delivered - he can cut many styles and has an eye for what's good. Also taught me how to properly take care of my hair. read more

Went to see Yuri here who moved from his old Hair & Color location. He's the only stylist that I've had that was very honest about how I should be taking care of my hair. He mentioned my hair type shouldn't use conditioner and demonstrated a technique on how best to shampoo which was very helpful. I ended up with a completely different cut than the original trim I came in for but for good reason. It's much healthier now, low maintenance because I never blow dry at home and should grow out well. Thanks Yuri! read more

My first visit. I walked right in on a Saturday around 5pm and had no wait (though they said they're normally busy Saturdays) and got a great cut from Nodira (hope I spelled that right!). She was very precise and did not rush, which I always appreciate. I decided to go a little shorter than originally planned and it was no problem. Took about 30 minutes total. The owner was friendly, and he even caught one thing about my hair's growth pattern and did a quick fix. I'm very happy with the cut and it was cheaper than Manhattan as well as other places I've gone in the area. Great service, clean shop, friendly - and overall great experience! read more

Best haircut/beardtrim I've ever had! I dont live in the city but i came here 6 months ago. I got a great cut and trim that i couldnt find else where. Now im back in the city i went back to Bennys, had Mike cut my hair again and it was just as good as the first one. I would recommend if your looking for a sharp beard! read more

Solid haircut, decent price. Yuri is a very sweet and kind human and I really enjoyed my haircut.

Great service and conversation - amazing haircut and reasonable price ($30). Have been a regular since moving to Brooklyn from Detroit. I suggest you go before 4pm before it gets too busy. read more

Just got my haircut done and it matched the photo I brought in perfectly!! Definitely coming back and getting my haircut here again :)

Yuri gave me a good skin fade and even gave me excellent tips on how to maintain my hair and showed me good products to help. he's really nice and definitely a person who takes pride in their craft. 10/10 recommend read more

This is my first visit to Benny's, I will definitely be back. Thank you for a perfect visit! Eugene did my cut, color, and blowout this morning with very little direction from me ~ I'm so glad I just let him do what he was going to do because it's the best I've had in years. He was right on with my highlights--long layers--and blowout. I hesitate to give this glowing review, you know what happens when you find something that's great and tell everyone... but he's such a cool guy with a gift, it would be wrong for me not to share. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely book with Eugene--this blowout is ridiculous. You can thank me later. **don't be thrown off by this being a "barbershop", after today's visit with Eugene I may never go to a "salon" again*** read more

I came here to get highlights for the very first time and came out loving it! Yuriy really knows his craft. We first worked together on what exactly I wanted while also seeking his expertise on my curly thick hair. He ended up not only giving me highlights but also fixing my hair to fit the style I truly wanted. Wait until after he's done and you'll see what I mean. I came out incredibly more knowledgeable about how to tame my hair and made Yuriy my official stylist going forward. read more

Been here about 10 times. Very good cuts, skilled hairdressers. Nice atmosphere, comfortable, they even offer you a drink when you get there. Big TV, short wait times, awesome staff. Owner is super nice. One time, I didn't have enough cash with me for everything; they said no problem, bring it later. He even followed up with a joke. Excellent read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED! I came here before COVID but never posted my experience. When I went there, I was asking for a very simple haircut. The owner was cutting someone else hair so he didn't doubt to let an apprentice to cut my hair. After 10 minutes she kept going back and fourth with the owner, wondering how to fix the mess she made. After 20 minutes, the owner come forward and apologized for the mistake and tried to fix my hair but still leaving such a mess. Instead of giving me a discount he had the decency to say "come back next time and we will give 50% off". Like are you really still trying to get me to pay for the mess you made? And are you still trying to get me to come back? The worst experience I've ever had. I am to shy to confront him, so I paid and left and never came back. read more

Had a great experience at Benny's. I wasn't sure if they specialized in women's hair, but I'm really happy with how my haircut turned out. I easily booked an appointment with Yuri on Yelp (they were very responsive and I was able to set it up within 30 minutes). Arrived on time, and didn't have to wait. I liked that Yuri was not super chatty--I don't really like making conversation when I'm getting my hair cut. He was professional and thorough, and when we finished he gave me some styling tips. And even threw in a hairbrush for free! So great first experience. Will definitely go back. read more

This place is a scam. I went here for a haircut last month and wasn't happy with the service but I thought I should give them a second chance (because I live next door and didn't want to go far) - big mistake. My first experience: the owner will shampoo your hair and talk to you into buying products. He will ask you what you want to do with your hair but he will not listen and do whatever he thinks is best. Ok cool. I get it, he wants to be creative, fine. Then when I wanted to pay, he tried hard to sell me a brush (a 50 cents brush for $10)... I didn't fall into his trap. Then he started convincing me to buy his products again, only this time at a discounted rate! I ran away. He said their machine wasn't working for the day so I had to go to the bank to get cash. Today I went back again, told them I don't want any shampoos or products. Just a simple haircut. The lady asked me how would like my hair done? I said: 1- number 3 on the sides 2- touch of trim on top 3- straight back. This is what I got instead: number 2 on the sides, lost 3/4 of my hair length on the top with a round back! Like why the fuck do you ask me then? Then I come to pay again with card, he says the machine is down for the day, pay cash. I had to go to the bank again to get cash. There is hardly any customers in here every time I pass by their shop. Now I know why. Avoid by all means. Walk a block or two, you won't regret it. read more
