    Patsy's, and the Heart of a City The heart of a city doesn't…read morebeat in time to the rhythm of landmarks whose silhouettes are stamped on postcards. Its pulse doesn't shake the shopping centers or the offices or the multitudes they carry. It honors no arrhythmia before the Capitol or the architecture that has grown around it. Because it's often the case that the biggest machine lives and dies not by its most imposing part, but by the smallest pin in its center. It's easy to miss Patsy's Barber Shop if you're weaving through the traffic of State and Pearl. You have to know to take the right onto Howard Street and go slowly enough not to miss the white neon tubing that brightens the shop and casts just enough of its glow onto the sidewalk to let you see the barbers ply their trade. Patsy's opened in 1930 at the cusp of the Great Depression, when a proper haircut was a man's resume and the newspaper on the empty seat was the employment office. It was a family business, like many that had dotted the downtown and further south to the neighborhoods that would eventually be sacrificed to Nelson Rockefeller's sense of grandeur. William "Tragedy" Yager now presides over the memories absorbed into the mirrors and the padded chairs. Since 2006, he's followed in the footsteps of his great grandfather, a man who likely opened up shop as he always did on the day Japanese planes set off for infamy. And anyone who's had a seat in one of his chairs and a hot towel on their face knows that Tragedy didn't just inherit a trade; he inherited a love and a duty to everyone that crosses the threshold. A large man with a long, thick beard and a tapestry of tattoos lining both temples, he wouldn't strike you as a man you would want to meet in a dark alley. But again, the seat, the hot towel, two minutes in conversation, and you'll realize that he's exactly the man you would want to meet in a dark alley if your car broke down, if you were cold, hungry and scared, if everybody passed you by. Because there are certain things you can expect from those possessed of the instinct of leadership. But what you may not expect is that sometimes, the places where matters are truly decided accept walk-ins. Patsy's Barber Shop has two locations, 3 Howard Street in downtown Albany and Room 126 on the Concourse Level. Call for an appointment and check for hours. And be sure to patronize the many barbers Tragedy has trained personally.

    I've always been hesitant about getting my beard trimmed and shaped with the worry of having it cut…read moremore than I want to. I finally had the courage to have Jayden work on my beard and he absolutely did exactly what I wanted and it came out amazing! Thank you Jayden and Patsy's you now have a customer for life!

    Coming from the Bronx, it took awhile to find a barber in the capital region that I actually trust…read more A LOT of trial and error... Until one day I walked into Jay Allen and let Earl cut my hair. Now I don't trust anyone else. Precise, detailed, master of his craft. When I got married last August, only one person could be trusted with making me look my best on the happiest day of my life. Besides Earl, the store itself is very clean, very up to date. Plenty of big screen TVs to keep you entertained while you wait. The rest of the staff are all friendly and they acknowledge everyone coming or going regardless of who you're seeing. I STRONGLY recommend Jay Allen Barber Studio! You will leave feeling like a new man lol.

    I started using this barbershop when I moved to Albany in January 2015. Even though I no longer…read morelive in Albany, my 2 sons still come here (they still live in the area) and I come here when im in town visiting and need a cut. They have many master barbers here that can expertly cut any type of hair. My sons have a standing appointment every other Sunday, but even if you need a cut at short notice someone there will accommodate you. Im dropping my son off at college today and wanted him to get a fresh cut. Our normal barber wasnt available but the owner, Jay Allen, said he would hook my son up. Its that type of customer service that has kept me coming here for the past 6 years and will keep me coming here.
