I have lived in the neighborhood for six years and always struggled looking for a barber I could call "My Barber". This was my second time visiting Michael and once again he exceeded my expectations! He is friendly and always up for good banter while giving you your award winning cut. Moments after leaving I sent a picture to my college group of friends and was immediately flooded with positive comments on my new look. Even a female friend of mine said, "I wish you looked this good in college and maybe things would be different", which hurt my feelings a bit, but regardless, I look amazing now thanks to Michael. I would recommend Gentlemen's Barbershop to my worst enemy, because even in a feud, people need to look their best! Thanks again Mike! See you when my fro grows back. read more

awful haircut, gave a glorified bowlcut then cut the back of my neck and had the audacity to charge 80$

I went here for the first time last week wanting to try a new place, i'm usually nervous trying new places but he did a great job and i got many compliments on my haircut , i got a mid skin fade for reference, he also had great scissor work read more

Michael is fantastic, best haircut I've ever had, listened well and did precisely what I wanted. Worth every penny!

Excellent service- quick response time- very polite- clean shop- a perfect cut. ATM machine, water and masks available. read more

Not the best experience I was hoping for before my graduation. To give you a context I have been growing my hair for more than a year, and thought about getting a nice haircut for my best pictures at graduation. The only mistake I made, was to choose this barber shop. I was late to my appointment by 20 min, but what could I have done with the new York traffic on a Saturday. I tried calling the salon about my delay but it went to their automated system. I received a call 15 min later to check if I was going to keep up with my appointment or not. I arrived within 5 min of them calling me. Well, it went haywire from there. I didn't get a good welcome, was directly asked to sit on the chair. The barber then asked me what I wanted, to which I laid down my expectations of this haircut in detail. The guy listened without uttering a word and took to his scissors. He was quite aggressive while cutting my hair and I could feel that something isn't right. The pull on my hair with his scissors and comb was something that I have never felt with any barber before. Still he had started cutting my hair and my graduation was at stake so I thought to be quiet and let him do his work. He took 15 min, not a single word during the whole time, and finally he asks me If I want a beard trim too. I was like, what? He did not even ask me I liked the haircut, or if I want to style it in a more subtle way, nothing! I had to then jump in and ask him to cut my hair to a little bit more detail. This was an outrageous attitude towards a customer who is willing to pay so much. I'm not sure if he was mad at me for arriving late or what, but he didn't even have any customers when I arrived. Anyways, I was in no mood to get stressed out before my graduation, so I accepted what he did to my hair. The charges was $75, but when I swiped my card I got a receipt of $84 something. That was weird, was she trying to trick me? And then came the tipping part, I cannot believe I tipped the guy 20% for the horrible service I received. I thought about it all the way my ride back home, but I just felt obligated to tip 20%. Maybe he was having a bad day, I don't know! But overall, horrible experience, would never go there again and advice my friends and family too. If you do decide to go I hope they have changed for the better and you get what you want :) good luck Edit: my bad, I got the haircut on Friday instead of Saturday as pointed out by the owner. Please do see the attached screenshot about the mail I received from them to leave a review. read more

Dude who cut my hair did such a good job, price for my cut seemed fair but at the end of the day even if it wasn't Im still happy

Always a great haircut and beard trim! Been going there for a year now since I discovered Michael's place. Excellent service!

I moved out of NYC so sadly am not going here anymore. But still the best cuts I have gotten. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Walked in with a raggedy COVID mop and no style in mind; walked out looking FTD Easy peasy read more

If you want professional Job done this is the place to go period. Mike will hear you and get your idea like nobody else will while giving honest advise about your idea and what could work best for you. I went to a place located in front of Night Hawk cinemas and they totally ruined my hair, 2 weeks after that I went to Mike and he fixed the mess the other place did. I will never go anywhere else as long as I live in New York. Thank you guys for doing such an amazing job. read more

Recently moved to Bushwick and stopped here on a whim as my normal barber is in Park Slope. Definitely do not regret it! Quiet night in the shop and the staff was very kind. More than accommodating to the style I wanted and the hot towel at the end was so invigorating. I found my go-to barber for the remainder of my time in Bushwick! read more

My barber of 20 years was out of town and I sheepishly searched reviews to find someone in a pinch. Michael did an amazing job...even better than my barber of 20 years...I will be going back! read more

My new spot! Super professional. Clean. Thorough. Unrushed. And great job. Will be going back. read more

Good haircut and friendly staff, I would definitely go back. Very convenient as well.

Michael was very friendly, courteous and attentive. He ensured I was taken care of and comfortable from the outset of my arrival. It was the best haircut and beard trim experience I have ever had. I would highly recommend him. I'll be returning every time I'm in New York City. You've won over this Australian customer! read more

Such a sweet find. I just moved to New York from Cali a little over 4 weeks ago, and was worried I couldn't find a good barber anywhere. Mike is quick, professional and gets to business quickly. Also, you can get a beer while you cut your hair. It doesn't get much better than this I'd recommend to anyone. Thanks again! read more

Michael embodies his shop's name. He welcomed me, calling me by name [I had made an appointment online], gave me a great fade haircut, and even better, a meticulous and most relaxing shave. I will be back for sure! read more

This guy knows what's he doing when it comes to cutting hair. Show him a photo of what you want and he'll give you the perfect haircut . Thank you! read more

My first time ever having my beard trimmed professionally. Very helpful service and relaxing. I'll definitely go back.

This is a very fine barbershop indeed! The name, "Gentlemen's Barbershop", is very appropriate. It caters to the nostalgic feel of old-school barbershops--A time when men were not in a constant rush as they are today to simply get "a cut", but rather, when men paid particular attention to their grooming and wanted to treat themselves to a manly "spa moment" with an experienced barber. When you leave, you'll truly feel like a Gentleman! The barber (and owner), Mike, is pleasant, laidback, and a bit soft-spoken. He does not pressure you into have an ongoing conversation like other barbers do, but will gladly chat with you regarding any subject should you bring it up. He offers a wide verity of services worthy of the old school Gentlemen's barber treatment, and uses fine, traditional products. The price for services are comparable to the neighborhood (trendy, "hipster" Williamsburg). You're not just paying for the actual haircut, shave or trim, but also for the overall experience of a place where you'll be treated as a Gentleman. Drinks are complimentary while enjoying the services (water, sodas or canned beer). The shop itself is quaint looking with an appealing décor. What I love most is Mike's meticulous attention to details. Not just your hair, but also small facial details (like offering to lightly trimming those unsightly stray eyebrow hairs sticking out). He takes his time and never does a "rushed job". And as a final touch at the very end, he applies a warm towel over your face with his unique scented blend of eucalyptus and mint. It feels blissful on your face and is extremely soothing. If you're in the area, please visit this place and treat yourself nice Gentleman's experience! read more

Getting your hair cut at Gentlemen's Barbershop is a great experience all around. Michael is a pro and the shop is extremely welcoming and friendly. In addition to a great haircut, Michael always offers something to drink to make you comfortable. I strongly recommend that you visit if you live in the Williamsburg area, or even outside the area (I live in Queens and make the drive over to Gentlemen's Barbershop when my hair is getting out of control). read more

I wasn't looking for a new barber but I really needed a beard trim desperately. Michael did such a great job that I had to come back a week later and have him do a full haircut. He really took the time to get my look back in focus and looking great. Nothing makes you feel confident and ready to take on the week like a damn good haircut! I'm so glad to have such a talented barber is right around the corner. read more

With so many barbers in Brooklyn, it's still hard to find a place that gives you exactly what you want. Michael is the name of the barber you want to see at this establishment. You can get the whole hot towel, razor and face massage treatment. He knows what he's doing. I'll be there again in the future. read more

Got a hair cut here a whole ago but I forsure won't ever go back cause what I asked for wasn't given...especially for the price I'm paying. So I had pretty long and thick hair and I wanted a decent amount cut. The barber was quiet and didn't really communicate with me and by the end of my cut the back of my hair was sooo uneven. It literally looked like a child cut it. Since it was scissor cut and it took awhile I got charged like $70. I recently moved to ny and expected better from a gentleman's barber shop but I shoulda followed my gut and went with the much cheaper guy on my corner. Don't let price dictate a good barber. read more

Michael styles hair with ease, always considers first what the customer is looking for in their cut. The first time around I was about to go into an interview and wanted to look fresh. I had a pre-existing undercut that had grown out a little. He worked with precision and efficiency. Towards the end for the finishing touches, he used a straight razor to clean up the back of my neck and the hairline by the ear near the eyes. Grabbing a warm scented towel from an oven-like compartment, he held it draped over my face. Today I went in expecting the same professional service for a much shorter version of my current haircut and, of course, Michael delivered. It is extremely easy to setup an appointment through the website. Gentlemen's Barbershop has a casual, low-key vibe, and a clean, curated aesthetic. No frills, no fluff, Michael will give you a great haircut. I will definitely be back again! read more

Love this barbershop! Always a great haircut and shave! Super friendly, professional and quality service. Highly recommend to come here for a cold beer and an outstanding haircut & shave! The hot towel, massage and soothing music is very relaxing. Great conversation and unbeatable prices. It's right off the Montrose L stop, very accessible! read more

Awesome price, for a great atmosphere, great work, and hanging out with a cool guy. My wife googled best beard trim in Brooklyn and google got it right. Michael made me feel welcome imediately, listened to what I wanted (which was vague at best) and made it even better than I could have asked for. I got the haircut, beard trim and shave. Perfect way to treat yourself read more

Walked in at 2 pm, Mike was there to take me in right away for a haircut. He is very respectful and professional. Cut my hair fast and the hot towel with aromatic oils was a nice touch! A bit more expensive compared to most barbershops in the hood ($40 a cut) but I prefer to pay once and have a quality job done. Highly recommend read more

New to New York and new to Brooklyn I'm picky when it comes to finding a barber after scrolling thru yelp and comparing pics this place seem to do the best with fades and my type of haircuts. Definitely lived up to my expectations great haircut. Only bad thing I got to say is I asked for my facial hair to be edged up and trimmed but the barber didn't edge it up at all just ran the clippers thru and charged me for it.. but that could have been easily been fixed if I acknowledged it. But to be honest I was impressed with the haircut and didn't even pay any attention to the facial hair until I got home. Will definitely be returning. Also $5 off to new yelp customers. He used a straight blade for precision and used a hot towel before doing so! read more

When I move to a new city, finding a new barbershop is my number 1 source of anxiety. I'm lucky to have found this place on my first try, and it's the first place I've every left 100% satisfied after the first cut. Price is higher than I'm used to in other cities, but it seems in the same range as other places I've seen on Yelp, and the quality showed. I will definitely be coming back! read more
