Let me set the scene: I had just parked my car in front of this barbershop and was headed to…read moreMannino's Bakery a few stores down, when out comes this super friendly and happy fellow named George. He casually and invitingly asks "Do you want a haircut?"
I paused in my tracks.. thought to myself how I actually do need one.. and said "Sure, let's do it!"
Now I had no previous knowledge of Razor MD or of George, so naturally I was a little nervous getting a haircut without checking what my fellow Yelpers had to say.. but his confidence really put me at ease.
They are a family shop, his uncle and nephew also own the place. George commutes every day from Flushing so you have to commend that kind of dedication.
Not only is he super skilled with a pair of scissors, razor, and buzzers, but he is both super efficient and very funny. He reminds of my grandpa's barber, who still cuts to this day over in Queens. Old school, charming, and laid back. We both talked about life, our backgrounds, relationships, you name it. To top it off, he even styled my hair better than I ever could! I had a work dinner to attend to later that evening and to be honest, I didn't even go home to shower as I didn't want to ruin it (plus there was no need as he did a great job cleaning any loose hairs up).
I'm brand new to the area, having just moved to nearby Baldwin Harbor, so it feels good to have gotten so lucky, so fast. Thank you George for coming out of your store to invite in me. You weren't kidding, you are indeed amongst the best of the best barbers!
While slightly steeper than what I'm used to, for $50 (included both beard trim, haircut, fade and line-up), I walked out feeling like a million.
