I was very happy with my haircut, they had a great barber cut my hair who fixed the bad haircut my last barber gave me. They're a little on th expensive side but the haircuts are good so that's OK. read more

The best barber shop in NYC hands down. Always welcoming existing and new customers. Authur and Shelly are the best !

Hey damn good haircut good value not necessarily Hollywood style, but he got the haircut and it looks good

Arthur is the man. Best barber in NYC! He did a great job and took the time to make sure I got a good haircut!

Arthur takes great pride in his styling and haircuts. I've been going to him for many years. Terrific vibe in his shop too.

The only place I get my hair cut in NYC. I'm out of the city for awhile, and I find myself unable to find even a replacement that even comes close to the expertise of Arthur and his team. Arthur, I'll be back soon! read more

Great shop. Friendly environment, quality cuts and easy to book. Will definitely be back.

I was pretty happy with my haircut which should cost about $40, but $60 after a fade and mustache and beard cleanup are a little too steep. It's interesting that some of the barbershops in this area are closed on Saturdays. read more

Walked in looking for a hot towel shave. Didn't realize that the price was ridiculous until after I asked for it. 65 dollars is crazy to ask for a good shave, let alone a mediocre one. The guy who took care of me was nice, and likely tried his best. But the shave was bad. Dry, dull razor scraping across my face. I could just tell that he had not done this type of barbering much before. Would not recommend this service as a walk-in. Perhaps another barber in their shop provides a better service, but I don't know. read more

Great experience! Thanks again! It was easy to walk in and get a great haircut, highly recommend!

Great cut by Shelly, exactly as I requested. Liked being able to make an appointment rather than a "pot luck" wait time.

I understand pandemic and everything but I don't think is fair to increase prices by 15% giving people less than before in terms of service (I.e hot towel after the haircut) read more

I walked in and, to my luck, things were far more professional than what I was looking for. Work is highly personalized and Arthur is both very talented and friendly. Definitely worth the price. read more

New to the area and needed a haircut. They did a nice job and we're fast as well. Cash only but there's an ATM on premise

I just moved to NYC a few months back and I was really struggling trying to find a good barber. I stumbled across Cutting Edge barber shop and have since discovered that Arthur and Arnold are the fade masters!! They give the perfect fade literally every single cut. I've never had Shelley, but I'm sure she is just as phenomenal. If you are looking for a barber, look no further! Arthur and his team are the best. read more

Great barber shop! I've been coming to Cutting Edge for almost 4 years, Shelly & Arthur are both fantastic. Being able to book in advance online makes it very easy to lock in a time and avoid waiting. Highly recommend this Yorkville neighborhood barber shop! read more

Very professional and friendly environment. Hot towel shave leaves the skin very smooth. I have been coming here for over 2 years and the service is constantly impeccable. Arthur, the owner, takes great pride on his profession and seems to continuously look for ways to add comfort to his clients by adding details (beverages, snacks and decor) that contribute to positive customer experience. This is my go to place for the perfect shave in the Upper East Side. read more

Arthur and his team do a great job! They are also consistently good taking pride in each cut.

Couple weeks ago I was looking for new barber on the upper east side close to home. I found Arthur, he cleaned my beard up nice. I plan to go back for head shave. Great guy, very friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Been coming here for about a year. I tip well, and am pretty easy going. Got annoying to come here because Arturo, the owner, would double-book appointments. That leaves me waiting over half an hour sometimes for him to finish. When I finally decided to ask him why he wasn't honoring his appointments, he blamed it on the new guy he hired. So I try coming back later. He double books me again. This time he says it's my problem I'm not willing to wait. He's always been a bit rude, but I chalked it up to just being part of his charm. Nah, he's just rude and doesn't seem to care about his customers. read more

He rushed through the haircut and didn't do a great job. It felt as if he was just going through the motions. For $30 I expected a much better haircut. read more

The hair cut felt really rushed. Also, he missed a really big part on the back of my head that makes the whole cut look terrible. Not a great place. read more

Was a walk in but was able to be seen quickly. Gave me a great haircut that was exactly what I asked for - would definitely recommend and would say this has now become my primary barber shop read more

Artur gave me the best haircut I have had in NYC. I have tried Harlem, all over manhattan, queens, and he has been the best so far. Even better than a $60 haircut I got. He listened to me very well and also was nice to talk to. I will definitely be going back here for a long time. read more

Cutting Edge Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Arthur did an incredible job - very clean shop and great prices -- the actual haircut itself was of very high quality and will definitely be coming back read more

This barber shop is on a completely different level than others in the neighborhood. Arthur is a master. A real perfectionist. I get a straight edge shave, head and face. Some other shops reuse blades (gross but true). Arthur uses two fresh blades per shave - one for the head, one for the face. He is exact and precise. A craftsman. Arguably the best shave I've ever had. Worth every penny. read more

Cutting Edge barbershop does a fantastic job. I've been coming here for about 5 years, and even though I have moved farther away I always make the trip back to Cutting Edge because of their consistency. Each hair cut I get is exactly how I want it. Furthermore, I can rely on the hair cutters there to recommend alterations, styles, new looks that I may not have thought about or realized might look good on me. They deliver exactly what I need as a customer and I will continue coming back. read more

Great haircut with outstanding customer support. I usually go for the classic side parted haircut and it comes out to my satisfaction. Also the environment is nice (no loud music blaring over the speakers). read more

Great cut by Arthur. Note to Arthur the produce market is on Sunday at 92nd / 1st Ave, cheers!

it's a very mediocre haircut - nothing special - but for the price they charge it should be much better. other barbers in the area charge a total of $45 for a cut and beard trim, but they charge $60 here for the same service. i recommend looking elsewhere in the neighborhood until they lower their prices again read more

Nice to finally get a big boy haircut at a professional place. Was growing tired of the dance club vibe and at times, unprofessional behavior at my prior place..but alas, I don't want to get too Dramatic ;-) I was the focus of attention the entire time which meant attention to detail was observed..important to me these days. And it's incredibly reasonable to boot. Will be returning... JMHO read more

These guys book up for good reason. I've been coming here for over a year now. Probably one of their first customers. I highly recommend and very glad Artur was able to recruit Alex to join him. I've seen both, and they are great guys to hang out with. It's also cool to take the kids up here for some bonding time. read more

I've been coming here since moving to the UES recently. Great small neighborhood shop and great haircuts each time and you can schedule your appointment ahead of time though the website. And the owner is great with kids. read more

Great service, great haircut, great price. Would definitely recommend for all UESers.

So glad my neighborhood finally has a barber like Artur. He cares about his work and does it at a fair price. Best cut I've had in NYC to date. His ship is conveniently located right off 2nd Ave. super clean and had that old school feel. Also, he accepts card (thank god). I'll be a regular customer going forward. read more

A great haircut for a reasonable price. Artur was extremely friendly and did a great job. This is a great addition to the neighborhood, I know now I don't have to travel too far for my monthly haircut. read more

I just moved from New Jersey to the UES and had the same barber for five years so I was nervous about trying someone new. I read through a bunch of yelp reviews and took a chance on Cutting Edge and absolutely loved the cut I got. Arthur did a fantastic job. Haircut was efficient (30 minutes) without sacrificing quality. Price was $30. Good conversation. Really clean shop. Arthur definitely has lots of experience and knows what he's doing. He even trimmed my beard for free! Came with a nice hot towel treatment at the end. I think I've found my new spot, I will definitely be back! read more

Excellent barber shop. Arthur has been cutting my hair for the past year and always does a great job. When I need a beard shape up for a big meeting or wedding, always has my back. Last week when Arthur was booked I tried David, new to the team but not the business, and I really liked the cut. I would highly recommend and continue to use both. read more

In from out of town and got lucky with a walk-in. Arthur was amazing- super friendly, funny and a great haircut to boot! Would recommend hands down and would come come back if I am visiting a agin! read more

I've been going here for most of the year and have had a great haircut every time. Make sure to book an appointment online
