my barber is Joseph and his attention to detail is terrific. He takes time and care, and the whole experience is great!

Solid service But went in just to clean up my already light beard and it was $45! Seems super pricey to me! And the barber is so slow-handed with it, that it took way longer than it shoulda had to Other negatives: only accepts cash Definitely wouldn't go back as to me price should equals service! read more

Average haircut at best for the price & they will attempt to force you to tip at their rate. BEWARE - I paid 70 bucks before "tip" for a clean up of my face & shape up. read more

Been coming here for years. They're good, friendly, and very reliable. Would recommend.

Visited City Clippers II today excited to get a cut from a place with such good reviews. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. POSITIVES --I walked in and was seated in a chair immediately --The stylist was very attentive to detail, making sure there weren't any hairs longer than others on the top, sides, and back --The hot towel is a nice touch at the end of the cut NOT IDEAL --Haircuts are on the expensive end, definitely not a "$" as described on Yelp; a men's cut is $35 --My stylist didn't check in with me once during the haircut, and while the cut ended up being fine, my hair ended up longer on the sides than I'd hoped --Not the warmest of customer service: other than being directed to the chair and asked how I'd like my hair cut, my stylist didn't say another word to me before I left read more

Great $20 cut! No wait. Felt refreshed and like a new person afterwards. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Great haircut . Would recommends have been going for 5 years. Very thankful for this hair cut read more

I gave them a photo and they couldn't follow it. I asked for an inch off and they cut at least 2 inches off. I do not recommend going here.

I love a fresh, clean, professional cut and that's a guarantee at City Clippers II on 72nd Street. The Barbers there are professional and serious about sending you out better than when you came in! Their goal is to make you Look Good - and when you Look Good, You'll Feel Good and when you Feel Good, You'll Do Good!!! Dont' just take my word or anyone's word for that matter - Go for yourself!!!! and you're guaranteed to walk out better than when you walked in!

I came here for a beard trim. There were no prices shown so I just assumed it was the average price (30/40$) after a 15 min trim with razor I had to pay $65 for it. Def a rip off. Writing this so the next guy doesn't get ripped off like I did and asks first. read more

Definitely not worth the FORTY DOLLARS I paid for what really was just a shape-up. I've only been growing out my buzzed hair for about a month, so there was nothing to cut, I just asked for a fade. They seemed nice enough, but nobody really talked. I got right in. I'm not good at advocating for myself, so I paid the FORTY DOLLARS and came straight home to warn others that they are not cheap, and I feel ripped off. read more

Wow I'm surprised at the reviews here. I've been going to City Clippers II for about 2 years to get my haircut. I go a lot less frequently because I moved downtown, but went today and was reminded of why I feel this is the best barbershop in Manhattan. The best haircuts are from Izzy and the guy who works next to him (on the right side, furthest from the door). The owner is also pretty good. The only person I've gotten a bad, lazy haircut from is Roman, I would recommend staying away from him (despite his sizable presence on Yelp? Surprised by this). The reason I think this is the best barbershop in Manhattan is because they consistently give a thorough quality haircut that makes you look like a football star (soccer football, not American football). I've never gotten a rush job from anyone but Roman, despite how packed the shop was. You also absolutely can't beat the price ($24 before tip). Like most traditional barbershops, there are no appointments. If you live in the area, no problem just walk by and go when it's dead. If you don't live in the area, I recommend going on a weekday morning around 10-11AM. Izzy seems to always have a line, he has a local following (he's off on Wednesdays by the way), but you can usually get the guy in the back right corner, who is just as good. read more

They gave me a great haircut and I was in and out in 20 minutes as a walk-in. The barber understood my instructions immediately and checked in consistently to make sure he was doing what I wanted. read more

Pretty new to the area so I decided to give this place a shot and it didn't disappoint. I'm from Queens and had been a regular at my old barber since I was a teenager, so I was apprehensive about finding a new barbershop. I gotta say I was impressed and Joey gave me a haircut just as good if not better than my old barber. Definitely recommend! read more

Roman was great. Gave me a perfect haircut. Definitely worth coming here. They know what they're doing.

I've been coming to this place for five years now, and it is the best barber shop in the city by far. I particularly recommend Izzy -- I'm one of his regulars, and he gives the most consistent and clean cut around. I've had my hair cut by everyone in the place at least once, though, and there are no bad options. I'd give it more than five stars if I could! read more

This place is over priced and not worth the time or money. I'm a black guy and my hair is already short. I walked in and asked for a 1/2 Ceaser. Easy enough....the barber, who spoke Russian (as most of them do in there), did a really good job and was done in 10 min. Problem is when I get to the register the guy says $22!! $22!! I pay $10 or $15 normally anywhere else, and due to the lack of NO PRICES put up, I've been had!! I rounded up to $25 for the tip and walked out. NEVER EVER going back to this over priced spot $25 for a ceaser?????!!!!! RIP OFF STAY AWAY!! Or ask for price up front!! read more

I popped in to City Clippers II yesterday because I needed a beard trim and they have received a lot of great reviews. My first attempt was unsuccessful as they were very busy and I couldn't wait. I came back later in the day and they were still busy, but I had some time to spare, so I waited. These guys have 3 barbers going full tilt and still people kept coming in. This was a good sign to me. My beard was trimmed by a guy names Roman. Not sure if he was the manager, but he kept asking me how I found out about the place, did I live nearby, etc. He did an excellent job on my beard. He could have just buzzed my beard with the ol' #3 attachment and sent me on my way. Not Roman. He worked meticulously to buzz, clip and trim my beard and then fix all the small detail areas around the edges of my beard that slowly breaks down from a klutz like me shaving every morning. He then used hot shaving cream and a straight razor to clean up the beard line along my cheek from my sideburns to my moustache area. He also cleaned up my neck with a straight razor as well. He spent a long time perfecting my beard, and the final product showed that commitment to quality. I can see why this place was so busy. I will definitely be back for another trim. read more

I have been to 8 barbershops and let about 12 barbers give me haircuts. I believe they chose the wrong career path. They should all be butchers because that's what they did to my hair. I had a job interview and I was recommended by a friend here for a haircut. So I decided to give this place a shot. Let's say that I just found my barbers for life. The haircut was simply amazing and my barber was funny. I got a nice comment about my haircut by the person who interviewed me. That felt good. I sit at all their chairs they are all good. I will be coming back and tell all my friends to come here. Oh yea don't forget the awesome hot towel every time I come here! read more

They gave Quick Service, listened to exactly what I wanted, gave helpful suggestions and a clean haircut. I highly recommend.

This place is the best! I go to Roman every time and he cuts it just perfectly! The haircut is very stylish and just what I want. As long as I live in NYC I'll come here and go to Roman. I can't recommend this place any higher. They even give you a warm towel massage when they are done! Every haircut is the best haircut I've ever had. read more

City Clippers II - Great haircut! Thanks Roman! - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

I'm always a bit skeptical of going to new places to get a haircut, one of my pet peeves of moving. But I took a chance going here and it turned out great. I don't like talking, and they did not try to talk to me more than I would have liked. I saw others talking, so they seem to carry conversation if you're into it. I went for a regular cut, nothing fancy, and walked out of there very satisfied - twice so far. Will definitely keep going there while I'm around. read more

Best barber in the city of New York Great atmosphere, they work super fast and very profesional. Try them out you will Not be disappointed. Thanks guys ! read more

"unisex" is utter bullshit. I came with my partner 2 days ago and after being told "we'll see you in just a minute" and waiting for 45 minutes we left. But there were good Yelp reviews so we decided to give them another chance. We saw another customer with wavy hair like my partner's that was really close to what he wanted (Classic, 3/4 of an inch on sides, 2+" on the top, scissor cut). So we were hopeful that we could get good cuts from here. Today, we came back, and were seen in under half an hour, but our cuts we're terrible. After being told they don't do layers on long hair I said fine, and showed where I wanted it cut. I can't see more than a foot without my glasses, so I couldn't tell what was going on until I put them on. I did this 4 times throughout the cut and none of my comments were listened to (mainly, the length I wanted it) instead, my hair was hacked away without combing a part, might I add, and with weird, very short shaping on the front which I did not want (so much for no layers). I would have been ok with a straight, simple cut, but this was worse than I can do myself at home. Luckily, I can fix my hair. My partner on the other hand, was buzzed to over half the length he had asked for (3/8" when he asked for 3/4"). The barber got really surly when my partner pointed out uneven sections, the barber insisted they were even, combing the hair (what was left!) instead of fixing the problem. I will never go here again. read more

City Clippers II - Getting a haircut from Roman! - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

A++++++ Haircut This will be my new go to place on the Upper West Side. My cut here was better than a super pricey barber in the West Village. Way cheaper here and great attention to detail. Thanks again! read more

Ok so all things fair I had a good haircut here once. If that's all you care about it's good and cheap. My issue with this place is what I saw while waiting for a 2nd cut. A barber was taking care of another customer - an African American man- and made some incredibly racist comments which clearly bugged the customer but what do you do when a guy has a pair of scissors to your head? He told him a few times that it wasn't funny and the barber just laughed him off. Not cool at all and they will not have me as a customer any longer. I walked out and went across the street and will never be back. read more

This place is horrible. Every time I go there, they try to pawn me off on another barber. It took 3 visits until i was "allowed" to see Roman. Every other time they insisted the other guys "are good, very good" - to the point of guilting/embarrassing you into it. Not cool. And, Well, no. The others aren't as good. in fact, after this last of 4 visits, i'd say only come here if you are a "#3 clipper all around" kind of guy. Seriously. I'll never be back. Izzy (i think was his name) did great on my hair, but destroyed my 4 month old beard. I mean, destroyed. The next time, I refused Izzy (or was it Ilya?) and got some older dude with glasses who ignored my directions and botched my hair. I refused the Beard trim as it was still growing back. Finally saw Roman on my 3rd visit. - at my insistence and refusing to be pawned off...great job on my now grown back in beard, Meh on the hair. very meh. Even my buddy who sent me to Roman was shocked at how lame the cut was. He was sure it was an off day. So today, i decided what the hell, give Roman + Co. one last chance. I get there and there is one guy in the shop, Asian barber finishing up. Roman + another barber are re-stocking shelves. Sweet, no worries about getting Roman, right? Wrong. Roman immediately points to the Asian gent cutting hair and says "he's good he'll take you". Why Roman couldn't cut my hair, i do not know. I should have left immediately. Yes, I should have left. Instead, my hair is unbelievably short - the shortest it has been cut in 5 years. A super short cut in 20 degree weather. WTF? I finally stopped him. Then I asked him to trim my sideburns to even them out with my beard HE SHAVED THEM OFF. There is literally a 1 inch gap between my hair and my beard now. I'm gonna have to shave off the beard or look like a damn freak for a few weeks. Thanks, City Clippers! You ruined my Hair and Beard for the last time. Learn from my mistakes, Gents. Avoid this place like the plague if you care what you look like after a haircut / Beard Trim. read more

I stumbled upon this place while searching for a cheap haircut. This place is a gem! They really only do man haircuts, but I decided to try since I have a man-bun. Everyone was so nice!! I didn't have to wait, and I was in and out in less than 40 minutes. Also, you can't beat quality haircuts for $20. It doesn't get any better! If you have a more male-style cut like me this place is for you! DO IT. read more

QUALITY CUTS! Don't bother going anywhere else. Busy because of their loyal customers, including myself (10+ years)...but who's counting lol but seriously, if you're looking for a real barber who knows what they're doing...treat yourself to what you really want, you deserve it. read more

City Clippers II - Only the best barbershop. Truly a hidden gem - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

Always come here. Small place, friendly, guy remembers me and the haircut I get after meeting me once. Hair always looks good, shapes my beard perfectly. Conversation is pleasant. Guy is witty, personable. Young guy but old school, classy, makes everyone feel comfortable. My grandfather was a barber so I have affection for barbers. Not in a gay way. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But that would be gross especially since it was my grandfather. Ok I'm outa here. read more

I've been getting haircuts for 6 years in Manhattan. Half of that time, I'd been getting cuts from chinese hipsters off Mott, but no more (due to continuous price increases, outrageous fees to pay with credit cards, terrible customer service, etc). Looking for something a little more local, I walked in to City Clippers II (is there a CC I?!) on a Tuesday afternoon and was taken care of right away by Izzy. He knew off the bat what I wanted (undercut) and got it done quickly, while paying close attention to detail. Also, these guys like to shoot the shit with you. Update: I recently came back 6 weeks after my first cut, and Izzy greeted me by name. I thought that was impressive and a nice touch. read more

As you can see from my profile picture, I have great hair. I'm regularly stopped on the street and asked what my secret is. I brush right past them because, I don't give up my secrets. Without giving up everything, I'll tip you off about City Clippers. I previously spent way too much time waiting around at FSC Barber down in the village. Because I reside on 73rd and was fed up waiting, I have been to most of the barber shops within 5 blocks. After scientific evaluation, City Clippers is the only one that is worth a damn. They know if everyone is a new customer or returning one. What's somewhat amazing is that they're never in a rush to get to the next client waiting but no one ever waits longer than 5 minutes. It's the perfect balance between getting in-n-out and getting a quality cut. I've sat with every barber there over the years and each one is a little different but all beat the surrounding competition. Thus, I never walk in and feel like I have to wait for one guy versus the others. Lastly, they're just finishing up a renovation. All custom work which will provide for a better layout than some of the cramped mouse traps that other barbers run. read more

Roman and everyone is awesome. They are super quick and gives you a great haircut in a very Nyc timely fashion. And very well priced for the area. Just walk in and enjoy! read more

I have been in here 6 or 7 times now, so I thought it was time to write a review. This place meets most of my criteria and I think it's a great place to get a haircut. I have walked away satisfied with the finished product each time I've been. The wait times are generally minimal. This is due mostly to the fact that, they seem to always have barbers for each of their chairs. About half of the times I've gone, I am able to basically go right into a chair. I like the warm shave at the end and the hot towels are always refreshing, albeit slightly suffocating. The haircut is $20, which, having only lived in the city for a few months, is more than I'm used to paying for a haircut, but, I think their price is actually pretty good for NYC. If I had to be picky and knock them for anything, I'd say I feel like it tends to take them a while to cut my hair, even though I get a very basic haircut. But, then again, you'd probably rather have someone who takes their time and actually pays attention to your hair than someone trying to rush you out of there and get the next customer in their chair. Some of the other Yelp reviews seem to knock these guys for, apparently, perceived racist behavior in the shop and/or illicit business taking place there. I certainly don't feel like anything racist has happened in the times I've been there. And, while I do feel like there was some sort of illicit wristwatch sale happening the first time I went, the most I can say about that is, "I don't really know what I saw, it had no bearing on my otherwise great haircut, and I don't think it's a reason to knock them in an honest review." Bottom line: This is my local barber shop, and I think you'd be happy with it as well. read more

Really great place. Everyone is very friendly and caters to your exact style! Definitely recommend.

First time as a walk-in. Short line, moved quickly. Very attentive hair cut -- will definitely be back.

I have come here several times now. I'm not quite sure how to rate a haircutting shop but I'll try. The times I have come, there is usually a short line, but it moves quickly. Each cutter took their time with me, and I was never rushed. The haircuts were fine. No complaints. The cuttters are all Eastern European, so expect a lot of Russian chatter. I like the extras at no charge, such as the neck shave and the hot towel. They create a more pampered hair cutting experience. Overall I like the place and will return. A cut is $20, which is reasonable for the city. read more

Great barber shop. I go to Roman and he takes his time, doesn't rush. He even gives me advice on how to trim my beard line! They just finished renovating, so the space is much nicer than before. Overall friendly atmosphere and I've never had a long wait. Bring back the Sunday special! read more
