In an area brimming with barbershops, Classic Shave Barber Shop stands out. Jake, the owner, is phenomenal--I've trusted him with my hair for over 20 years, across different locations on Long Island. He never rushes, knows exactly what you want, and provides an amazing shave. Plus, the environment is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend Jake's expert touch!" read more

Always amazing. I go for a shave (face & head) plenty of hot towels always does a great job. Love supporting small businesses. When I had my daughter's wedding I brought the wedding party here. Jake brought in some more guys and let us bring in food and coffee. LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

I'm coming out of Yelp retirement to put a good word in for my new barber shop. I'm doing it for selfish reasons, which is cool, because really most of us who yelp really like our name on the top of the page. But seriously, instead of obsessively chronicling my adventures in burgers or Indian food and ruining my cholesterol, this time I'm doing it to support an excellent establishment that happens to be my neighbor. I really like being able to roll out of bed on a Saturday and walk over next door to get a haircut. Therefore I want everyone to know that this is a great shop so that these guys will be successful, and therefore, always be there for me. You'll notice right away that Classic Shave Barber shop is clean, bright and spacious and well-stocked with goods to service your haircare needs. Once seated, you will get a haircut exactly to your specifications. If you want a shampoo or a shave you'll get that too. Straight razor to your neck? Hot towel? Check. Random conversation? If you want it you've got it. How much are you paying? $16. Not much can go wrong here. If you're waiting, they've got flat screens, magazines, comfy chairs etc. This place is the goods. I've tried a lot of places. I used to go Premium Barber Shop, Classic Barber Shop, Euro Beauty, Astor Place etc. Heck I've even tried the hipsters over at Freemans or Barber Shop or whatever its called now. I'd still rather go here. Quick, convenient, and reasonable. I'm helping you so you can help me. That is what yelp is all about. read more

I've been without a consistent barber shop for several months, and until today it had been nearly 2 months since my last haircut. Going to a new barber is scary, and I've been to a few pretty bad places lately...so before I finally decided to enter this location for a haircut I'd walked around the neighborhood looking at a few other barber shops in area. I stood outside and looked in the window of this place and was really impressed by how clean it was. I stepped inside and definitely wasn't disappointed. To say the place is spotless is an understatement. This place is PRISTINE and all of the prices are displayed clearly on a sign just outside of the door (prices are GREAT!). Jake, the owner and my barber, was a consummate professional and really knew what he was doing. I explained what I wanted and he understood right away. He also noticed that the barber I last went to was awful and really messed up my hair. I can honestly say I haven't been this happy with a barber shop in a very long time, and I will definitely be a regular from now on. Jake did a fantastic job and there wasn't even that much hair all over me when I left. Definitely support this barber shop!! read more

Left Texas for vacation and didn't think to get haircuts for the boys before we left, Mike and Jake did an amazing job!! We will be back the next time we are in town for sure! read more

Needed a haircut bad and couldn't hold out until I was back in Boston to visit my regular guy. So took the plunge on a new barber, a scary endeavor for sure with unknown results, but I guess what? I loved it. Mike was great: friendly, interesting, and great with the razor blades and the scissors. Came out with a great haircut, shampoo, and new insights. All for under 20 bucks- a steal here in the city. Definitely will be back again! read more

I have been coming to this barber shop since it opened and it really is the best around. The hot shave is as good as it gets and the haircuts are great. I also love the fun and relaxed atmosphere. I always have a good laugh and no topic is off limits. I highly recommend that you stop in and try it. read more

Classic Shave Barber Shop - Fresh cut and headed to work - Barbers Near Me - Merrick, New York

I don't think the owner of the shop was in, and my experience got off to an awkward start when the two barbers on duty got into an argument about having undercharged the previous customer. The younger guy would not let it go, so I spent the first three minutes sitting in the chair listening to him berate the older guy (my barber) for undercharging his customer. I understand that he was upset, but the professional thing to do would be to keep it to himself until there were no customers in the store. My barber apologized for the situation. I'm happy to say that the haircut that followed was superb. I went looking for a new barber because my previous one completely stopped paying attention to the finer details (careful edging, eyebrows, making sure everything was symmetrical, shaping my beard around my mouth, straight razor around the ears and neck). I got an undercut with no fade that was done perfectly, and the beard trimming and edging was done slowly, carefully, and symmetrically. The straight razor work on the neck and around the ears was also much appreciated, as clippers usually irritate my skin. I cannot think of any way this haircut could have been better save for not walking into an awkward argument. I will definitely return for the fine attention to detail. read more

Best cut I have had in a while! I felt bad about cheating on my stylist in DC, but I am safe now that I've found these guys! Fantastic attention to detail; Jake does excellent point cutting as well as thinning in the right places. Super close neck shave and great shampoo technique as well. read more

Classic Shave Barber Shop - Jake made my new haircut possible! - Barbers Near Me - Merrick, New York

Ridiculous barbershop all around. I waited 45 minutes until the barber notified me that he couldn't cut my hair because he had to close. In what world do you make a customer wait 45 minutes and then let them know that you won't be able to provide them a service? Horrible customer service and zero management. There was only one barber when I went. I will not return here again. Absolute worst service I've had in the city. Avoid this place and head elsewhere. read more

Mike give me great haircut and good shape up on my beard will be my go-to place from now on.

Change of management but it's as if the place never changed. Quality hair cuts and friendly environment! What more can one ask for?

I needed a haircut badly, but I was nervous about going to a new barber shop. I've been to Sigfrido's and Astor Place, and they were good but not exactly what I was looking for. I found Classic Shave thru Yelp, and I'll never go anywhere else in the city. $16 for a cut AND razor neck shave with a hot towel at the end. I'm originally from NJ and not even my favorite barber shop there has that kind of deal. They even have a rewards card - get 10 cuts, and the next one is on them. Jake is a great guy too. He knew exactly what he was doing and my cut was great. I'll definitely be a regular here from now on. read more

All I got to say is this is a great barbershop. Definitely the place to be if u need a good haircut and shave. Definitely go see Jake.

Hands down best haircut ever. Moved to Manhattan from San Francisco in fall 2015 and was a bit weary of finding a good barber and basically struck gold in the hood. Jacob and his counterparts pay ridiculous attention to detail from the straight edge razor shave, fade, face, etc. I literally go in now and they know exactly what I want. Jacob will also do this hot towel thing on your face at the end which is clutch. The fact they only charge $16 (I tip 25% on top of that so $20 total) is a steal! Service such as theirs will go for double that in San Francisco. On a side note their choice of 90's hip hop in the shop is added plus. read more

Went here when my normal haircut place was closed on a Sunday. They got me in the chair immediately and did a great job with my hair. It was $36 for the works including a beard shave but I think it was worth it. Solid place. read more

I went for the special deal. The deal was worth every penny! I will be going back every time I visit NYC. The hair cut was excellent - uniform and even. The straight razor shave was thorough. Much closer than I can get myself. The attention to every little detail was something I was not expecting. read more

Fantastic place to get a hair cut. Shop was extremely clean, and the barber did a wonderful job. Would recommend to anyone. Will be coming back. read more

Jake is very good what he does.... Been going there since he open...... Great service great haircuts...... Great barber recommend to allll read more

Jake is the best barber around, hands down. I don't trust anyone else in the area to touch my hair after seeing his work. A+

Great haircuts in a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend classic shave barber shop

Jake is the ultimate pro and is yet to give me a poor cut. Great guy.. Great atmosphere. If you are looking for the best barber in town.. Look no further than Jake at classic. read more

" Yo! I only do my people " This is what I was greeted with when I walked in and had a seat. I've been to this shop about 5 times and have always gone to the same guy. The last time I came I wasn't to happy with the cut, so I decided to try someone else, there's only three barbers. I figured it's not so unreasonable, I mean how else are you supposed to find a barber you're comfortable with? The barber who told me this is the younger of the three. I think his name is Mike ( not 100% ) he told me to go to the other guy, the one I wasn't to happy with the last time. I said " it's okay I'd like to try you" - which was extremely uncomfortable - I had already gestured to the other guy that I was going to wait for the other guy and it didn't seem to bother him. But the young guy decides to order me to go to him and tells me " well then your gonna have to wait I guess I guess you like waiting " If it is a by appointment only shop they should say so. It clearly says on the front window " Walk ins are welcome " but apparently it's only if you're their people! read more

I've been twice. First time I got Mike and he was attentive and knew what he was doing. Second time I got someone else, they didn't seem confident or great at communicating. He was quite shaky. I didn't end up with a great cut and sadly I won't be going back again. read more

These guys are new and just opened up two months ago. I Was thoroughly pleased with the cut I received. Mike is receptive to input and makes adjustments at your request. Good service, clean place, friendly pair of guys, and well furnished. read more

Fabulous hot shave and trim. Definitely recommend and will be back. A+

Love this place. It's always clean and quite roomy. This is my second visit, today I'm getting a color and cut. The prices are reasonable, the guys are friendly, and the fact that they do women hair too is a big plus! read more

I usually shave my own head, but due to a broken arm, I've been forced to frequent barber shops. How hard is it to shave someone's head you may ask, but you'd be surprised how often I've paid good money for a sloppy job. Don't know the guy's name, but he did an immaculate job, with straight razor neck shave and hot towel, in just a few minutes. Cheaper than most too! Until my arm heals, I'll be coming back here. read more

I've tried a few barbershop in the Gramercy area but never found one I wanted to go back to. It's always nerve-wracking trying out a new barbershop, but this place is definitely going to be my new regular barbershop. First thing you notice when you walk in is that it is extremely clean. The decor is pretty nice, and you feel comfortable right away. The guys here are pros and really know what they are doing. They take their time and do exactly what you ask for. They also offer some good advice on what looks good and keep a friendly atmosphere. The cut ends with a superb razor neck shave with hot shaving cream and a hot towel to the face and neck. You leave feeling refreshed; it's all about the overall experience from beginning to end. And nothing can beat the $16 price! read more

I recently moved to NYC and have been getting bad haircuts at different places for $50+ over the last several months. For $16 Jake actually had to fix the way my hair was being cut and I've been consistently getting great hair cuts since. read more

I am in NYC only for a month, and I needed a haircut for an important interview. This place was amazing. Hands down the best, most meticulous haircut I've ever had. He even showed me how my barber at home has been messing up my hair. Because I liked it so much, I treated myself to a hot shave... Best decision ever. My face has never felt smoother, and it was incredibly relaxing. I would highly recommend this barbershop, and I might even make trips up to NYC just to get my haircut here! read more
