I've been coming here for years and I always leave with a good experience. Mike is very friendly and has clients of all ages. I've seen him give quality haircuts to younger kids to the senior folks and everyone leaves looking fresh. Look no further if you're looking for a good barber in the neighborhood. Definitely call ahead and block an appointment so you won't have to wait (especially after 5pm or on weekends). Closed on Mondays. read more

Elegant Barber Shop - Prices as of October 2023 - Barbers Near Me - Woodside, New York

See all

With everything going on (COVID related lockdowns), I was lucky enough to find Elegant Barbershop down the street from my house open. Went in for the first time around July 2020 and was amazed at the well kept shop and operated/owned by the barber himself (Mike) - a very well-spoken, hospitable individual and above all an excellent barber. First time I got a cut, was impressed and now getting a 2nd cut, looks like I finally found my go-to barber for as long as I live in NY. I'm originally from South Jersey and had the same barber in South Jersey for over 10+ years, so for me to find the right barber after moving to NY for 3.5 years was definitely challenging. Came across a few decent barbers but beyond satisfied and impressed with how Mike cuts hair. Tremendous job on the fades (sides and back) and also great scissor skills (top hair) given I'm trying to hold on to the bare minimum that I have left - lol!! Last but not least, a big S/O to Mike for the great cut, amazing prices and above all for keeping a safe and healthy environment while running the business!! Point to be noted - Mike and the clients, both keep their masks on during hair cut. read more

Elegant Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Woodside, New York

Great haircuts, great price. People travel from other areas in Queens to be taken care of here. Call ahead for an appointment so you don't need to wait. He listens to what you want and the shop is very clean. Been coming here for almost 20 years.. read more

Went in showed him a photo with the guy having lots of bulk in sides and in the back all he had to do was cut a little in the front and do a taper he did the taper and front but oh my god he cut the shit out of my back and side no bulk at all it didn't even matter he cut so much even when the reference photo had lots of hair it looked like a fringe and tomorrow is school completely ruined my day WHY CUT IT SO SHORT i never told you to do that but when i noticed it was to late. read more

Mike is the man. First day I met him, he was welcoming and knew what to do without me going crazy on how to explain how I wanted my hair cut to be. Trust, he's thee best hands down! read more

It was a walk in for me and from the moment I sat on Mike's chair to leaving it, I felt like I was taken care of. My confidence peeked back to its natural high with the way Mike cut my hair. He is so fantastic with his craft. I've never seen someone so at ease with scissors as if they didn't have the potential of cutting our skin. He's been doing this for 15 years as we conversed and I am impressed. I love my look so much. He literally tamed my crazy hair and turned it out RIGHT! Thank you so much, Mike! And if you all need a place to get a great haircut, he will take care of you. read more

This is probably the only place in NYC where you can make an appointment, and completely count on your appointment time being honored. If i make an appointment for 9:30, my haircut is at 9:30 and I'm done by 9:45. Best haircut I've ever gotten, and Mike is the absolute man! Have been going here for years and will not be changing anytime soon. You will not be disappointed! read more

I have come to this barber shop many times since having moved to the area. I always get a friendly and immaculate haircut. I'm glad to have found this place, a little off the Queens Boulevard beaten path. read more

Been going to Mike for a year now, friendliest barber I've had by far. Prices are hands down the best in the area. He's got plenty of regulars so it might be a wait during busy times. But it's just a testament to Mike ability to keep loyal customers. The best thing about this place is definitely the turtles. read more

Mike's favorite thing when he had 2 barbers was to goofing on customers while your in the chair.Rolling eyes while you clearly see him making fun.Powder Puff hairstylist on 61street and Woodside Avenue is half the price and haircuts are superior.25 dollars with tip at Elegant is outrageous in a neighborhood with other choices. Stupid people get played at Elegant because they don't know about a great Columbian barber in Woodside.Like they say the truth hurts! read more

In and out in 20 mins. One of the best haircuts I've had in years for a reasonable price.

Mike is great. He listens, makes suggestions (if wanted ), and then gives a great cut. Very reasonable prices too.

I have been to a few barber shops in the area. Not one will provide the customer service you will find at this barber shop. Mike goes out of his way to provide you the haircut you desire. Not only is this a welcoming environment, he does his best to get to know his clients. Which is why many clients come back. His location is in a central location next to many local restaurants and location. I would highly recommend this barber. read more

Mike is a great barber. He deserves the 5 stars not just for his service, but also because he's a compassionate barber. I have been bringing my student with autism for haircuts to Mike for several years. He's always very patient and attentive even when my student is uncooperative during the haircuts. Mike takes his time and is considerate when my student needs a break. Unfortunately we have been turned away by the salon down the block for a haircut because my student displays stereotypical autistic behaviors. We went there because Mike had several clients and we were short on time. I can always depend on Mike to accept my student and go above and beyond. Thank you Mike. We appreciate you. read more

Mike is efficient, timely, and consistent. He is always pleasant and priced very competitively. Highly recommend.

Mike is a class act been going 5 years never had a bad cut he's top notch and reasonable prices would definitely recommend

This place is fine. Just fine. The prices are dead on barber shop average. The cut is consistent and ok. Chauvinist conversation between the barber and his customer common--a fairly standard feature of barber shops, your level of appreciation is up to you. Same with the movies: he has the TV on a lot, ranging from news to movies, from cartoons to gory stuff. Too often not my cup of tea. The haircut is good and Mike does a good business. Coming here is a simple, solidly three star experience. read more

Great haircut and great conversation. This place makes waiting for a haircut relaxing and worth the wait.

I've been a happy customer with great looking hair for the past few years. Every time, I've gotten a consistent, really good cut with strong attention to detail. One of these days, I'd like to go in and just camp out to watch movies on the HDTV that offers entertainment while waiting. There are a lot of choices for barbers in Woodside and Sunnyside - a few of which I've tried. But Elegant has never let me down and always provided really good service. read more

This lovely little barber shop has become my husband's regular place, and I must say, he is looking great! It's hard to find a barbershop that will give a detailed, nice haircut, and not just a run of the mill buzz and the same ole fade. But he keeps coming home with these very flattering cuts, exactly what he went in looking for. And it doesn't hurt that the young barber is a super friendly, well-mannered guy! read more

Mike is awesome! Always extremely friendly, fun, fast, and provides the best service and cuts for great prices, thanks!

Been going to Mike to get my haircut for the past 12 years and I get a great cut every time. Friendliest guy and definitely at a great price. Saw one bad review on here and the guy is definitely confused. Not sure if he's a paid reviewer or what, but no way is that the mike I've been getting haircuts from thats being described. read more

I went there for the first time, his name is Mike he's professional definitely have experience, clean and smooth place highly recommended around Woodside. read more

If you're looking for a great barber in Woodside look no further. I've tried several different shops in the area when I first moved here, I was usually disappointed with the results until I found this place. Having a good barber is essential, and after hundreds of haircuts over the last five years Mike has never let me down even once. The fact that he plays HD movies and the atmosphere is friendly only adds to the experience. I highly recommend this place. read more

Mike has been cutting my hair for three years, and doing a fantastic job. After he knows what you want, he gives you the same cut every time, quickly and efficiently, and at a great price. Always a pleasure stopping in the shop to get a cut and chat. He will also do a full face shave, which is a nice luxury every couple of trips. read more

Although most of the reviews for this barbershop is somewhat accurate, I personally feel that he (the barber) is has become an over-confident person who thinks that he is too good for his job. After two frequent visits to his barbershop, I realized that he judges his customers based on their personality and acts accordingly. As a matter of fact, I remember going in to his barbershop for a haircut and after finishing my haircut he asked me how was it for which I replied to him, "it's okay but not the kinda haircut I really desired for ". All of sudden his voice became aggressive as he questioned my response and wanted me to tell him that it was "better than okay". This action all in all changed my views about this barbershop and I really will not be going there anymore. Moreover, compared to other barbershops in the area it is overly priced as well. While I did appreciate the relaxing environment in the barbershop, I feel like it's not worth the money to be spent. read more

I'm a fan to this barbershop. The guy is awesome. He really listen to what you want. Sometimes we can just have random chat from Russia, movies, weather, hair gel to vacations. read more

I've been to every local barber shop and this spot offers the best cuts, hands down. Mike, the barber there is super friendly and professional. I've never had a bad haircut and I always receive compliments after coming here! read more

Lived in the area for over a year and been searching for a good barber, today that search has ended. I will no longer trust anyone with my hair (or lack there of) but Mike. 5 star place easily very friendly environment and good with the razor. Highly recommended. read more

Mike is an excellent barber. Friendly, open to ideas and nice conversation and a great place where you feel at home. I would only suggest getting him some help with more support staff, he is in great demand. Excellent neighborhood barber shop. read more

Mike is very skilled and cuts exactly how you want it especially if you show him a picture. Usually it takes a barber a couple cuts to get it right, but Mike got it right on from the get go. I'm always cycling through barbers to find the best bang for my buck, but I'm sticking to this place from now on. Price is $17 and I can't be more pleased. I'm from Flushing but the cut is definitely worth it. There might be a wait (2-3 people) but he is very efficient and gets you in the chair in no time. read more

MIke is a really nice professional guy. He runs a good shop. It clean and comfortable. He has a small fridge with cold drinks and massage chair for those waiting and of course the more standard TV and magazines. I have been using him for a few years now and no issues just positive experiences. His rates are normal and he does a good job well worth the price. read more

Freaking love the haircuts and the movies are awesome! One of my favorite reasons to go here is all the cool movies. Love this place.

been coming to Mike for about 10 years and I'll never change, fresh haircuts and you get to watch all the newest movies while you wait...BEST in the neighborhood read more

This is the friendliest place in the neighborhood. Mike is very cool and can handle any kind of hair--whether you have a lot or almost none. He's also my "go to" movie man. read more

This place is the best! It's the only place I'll go. Mike is the man - he'll give you a professional cut or trim at a great price. If there's 2 or 3 people waiting, no worries - he's fast. Have a seat and you can thank me later. Highly recommended! read more
