Mark is the best barber. He's gentle and focused and knows how to tailor the cut to the contours of your head. 10/10 recommend.

I walked in to George's 2 and they took me right away! I just wanted my under cut shaped up and Joe did a great job and everyone was so friendly! I now have a better fade than my boyfriend Heads up - cash only! read more

I come from LI to this Barber Shop, an hours drive. They cut my hair. I go back when it's time to cut it again because they do a good job. They cut it again. It looks good. I go back. Cycle repeats, enough said. xoxo gossip girl read more

Moved to Brooklyn back in January and was a bit hesitant about finding a new place to get my hair cut. After searching on yelp I found George's 2 and the reviews were all glowing. I've now been going every 3 weeks and couldn't be happier. I've had 3 different barbers and each have done a fantastic job on my hair. The prices are fantastic, especially for downtown Brooklyn, that it's just the icing on the cake. Today I got my hair cut by Milana and she absolutely nailed it. Bald fade into a hard part and textured top, 100% across the board. I will be back every 3 weeks like clockwork. These people are fantastic and the shop just feels like a bunch of people hanging out, great atmosphere. Don't hesitate to give them a try, save your $$$ and avoid those niche barbershops that are popping up all over Brooklyn and head to George's 2! read more

So, I am a female who likes dude haircuts. I also have seriously thick hair which can be hard to cut. It's really hard for me to find a barber who doesn't say, "Are you sure you want it that short?" or who doesn't completely butcher my hair. I wandered in this barbershop since they are in my neighborhood on a whim and i am so happy i did. My hair was an afro mess and now it's a great pompadour. Ralph cut my hair and i will never ever go anywhere else. It looks amazing, and he treated me so well. i felt right at home. They also have beer, soda and a whiskey bar for you to enjoy while getting your haircut. I also enjoyed speaking with Ralph. I hate small talk, usually because it's so disingenuous, but i enjoyed talking to him. Totally worth the $20, I'll be seeing Ralph in three weeks for sure! Thanks! 5 stars all the way! read more

First time I go to this place and it was fantastic. Nathan did my haircut and he was amazing. Very close attention to detail, hot towel, free drinks and the place was very comfortable. I will definitely come back again for my next haircut. Rewards program is great aswell. Highly suggest this place. read more

Good service, affordable, low wait times, free beer, Nate did a good job on haircut and beard trim. Will come back again. NB: cash only read more

2 years later and I can't go to any other shop! The staff here are all professional, thoughtful and charming any time if the day. Whether it's Harry being a classic throwback styled barber or Nathan being the chatty funny type, they all do your hair well above average. The product they sell is top notch. Uppercut has changed the way I've interacted with my hair Just no questions; come here for your hair cut. read more

good barber shop showed a picture and they did the exact same thing very nice people and great people

Only place I get a haircut in the neighborhood. All the barbers are down to earth and will help you out if you don't know what you want exactly. Easy to feel comfortable knowing you're going to get a great haircut from them. read more

Milana is great so is everybody else in here, they are all very talented I've been coming here for many years now and they always do a great job and nice haircuts. My favorite thing about them is they never say that they can't do it they always go above and beyond!!! Thank you Georges2 read more

I was really disappointed with this place after seeing the 4.5 star rating. I recently moved to Fort Greene and needed a new barbershop. I was greeted nicely and was sent to a barber that didn't speak very good English. This instantly concerned me. Told him my cut...fairly simple. A fade. Not complicated at all. He's working on the hair and I'm questioning in my head what he is doing but figured let's see what happens. As he uses the clippers on the back of my head, it greatly burns...once the haircut is done, THE WHOLE BACK OF MY HEAD HARD RED LINES. I've been getting the same cut for years and this has never happened. The clippers must've been bad. Another gentleman told me not to worry, it'll go away in a few hours. Never should that be the answer. The whole back of my neck is broken out with pimples. Never ever happens to me. Needless to say, I won't be going back and extremely disappointed. Good thing I wasn't attending a weeding or had an important event. read more

Been going here for 5 years and have never had any problems, aside from one guy who left half my head too long a few months ago (which I noticed 2 days later, I'm not that observant, but really 1 moderately meh haircut in 5 years is not the end of the world). They are all friendly barbers who take their time to get things right. They also offer free water, whiskey, or beer to customers who are waiting, which is rare as hell. read more

Me and my boyfriend got our haircuts here. They were friendly and did an incredible job. We look good and feel good.

It's not the worst spot and the price is good. I've found the staff to always be friendly and quick to help. My second haircut was the best I ever got there. I don't know the guys name but he was great and understood what I wanted. The third time the guy really scraped up my neck back with the straight razor cut and blamed it on acne that I knew I didn't have. I understand mistakes happen, it's not the first time I've had a barber accidentally knick me, but it always sucks. The final time the haircut was so bad (this time a different barber) I decided I'm definitely not going to try again. If you need a basic haircut quickly for a good price, this is the place. Just be mindful that the staff may not be knowledgeable on basic haircuts that are popular in the U.S. read more

I left Park Slope several years ago, but came on here just to leave this review: the best barbershop around. I used to go to this place once per week. Good barbers, great owner, and always made me feel appreciated as a customer. Would shave your neck with a straight razor. They took time and put in care on every cut. This is a great place. read more

This is a solid barbershop with very thorough barbers. I came in on a Friday afternoon so there was no wait but there were other clients there. The barber who helped me out did a great job at cutting my hair the way I wanted based on a picture and my description of what I wanted. He worked efficiently but at no point did I feel like he was rushing me out the door. He checked in with me throughout the cut to make sure he was doing things to my liking. I am pleased with the result. The only unpleasant thing about the haircut itself is the customer next to me who spoke both loudly and bigotedly through the duration of my haircut. I am in no way holding the shop accountable for his behavior and appreciate their attempts to check him. The cut cost $18 which is certainly more than what it seems to cost at the Park Slope location. The space itself was tidy and well kept. The furniture seemed to be in good condition and the space was clean. I am not sure it merited a trip up from Sunset park to get a haircut here but there was nothing grossly wrong with my experience. read more

Awesome people! Awesome hospitality!! Ralph is the best barber I've had in the area. The place also offers free beer and liquor before your cut :) read more

It took me 45 minutes to get to this location. I came here because of high help the yelp reviews were, needless to say I was very disappointed. John was the barber who cut my hair. I asked him for a mid skin fade comb over. He did not understand English that well therefore, when told him what I wanted, he looked at me like I was dumb. Then he proceed to laugh at my face. Rude and disrespectful. The end product of my hair cut did not come out what I requested. When I asked John to line up my hair he gave me a attitude and did not line it up properly. Needless to say I will never come back again for a cut. read more

Excellent Barbershop everyone is a professional and courteous and good at there craft I couldn't be more pleased & yes for someone built on bourbon and poor choices they have a complimentary selection of scotch & whiskey read more

I have been going here for years. Ali gives me the best fades! Walk in welcome, I go during the week and there is a short wait. 10 min most. Free beer and liquor while you get cut. place is honestly a neighborhood gem. read more

George's 2 is the most skilled, professional and friendly barbershop you've been looking for! Instead of rushing through to get to the next customer, they patiently listen and deliver what you are looking for. This shop is as solid as they come, I highly recommend it! read more

While I was walking home from work, I decided to stop by and get a haircut. The employees greeted me right away, everyone was in such a great mood and so happy!! Milama sat me down, and gave me a haircut. She was so sweet and gentle. Loved how she cut my hair. Will be definitely be coming back! If I can give more stars I would !! Ask for Milama!!!! read more

Walked in on Halloween right at about 6 o'clock and asked for Mr. Nathan, ended up meeting an incredible barber, got a fresh cut, and experienced one of the best shoppe visits ever. Hair did, and for $5 more I got my brow game strong again. He even throws in a hot towel treatment too. Thanks for everything! Welcoming and chill vibes. super close to the Atlantic and Barclays stop too! Suavecito everywhere reminding me of back home haha! read more

Be careful which chair you sit in. A few of the barbers here are good, and a few are terrible. My last cut was performed by an older guy who didn't speak any English. I asked for a #2, and he turned to someone else for a translation. He gave me the worst and strangest haircut of my life -- three months later and it's still too messed up and too uneven to try to get fixed. Watch out! read more

Highlights: no wait, excellent haircut, complementary beer, incredibly friendly people Details: I was standing on 5th Ave, pondering whether I ought to get a haircut, looking in the window of George's. Ralph saw me, poked his head outside and said "you ready? We're ready for you!" and I figured that was a good enough omen to get a haircut. Good thing I did - he took me back to Dilya, got me a beer to drink during my cut (could also have had whiskey or bourbon...or coke/water for the kids). Dilya was very friendly but didn't talk the entire time, which was ideal. She intuited exactly what I wanted, even though I didn't explain it so well....which made it easy for me. I got a straight blade neck shave and hot towel treatment at the end. Ahhhhh. Will absolutely come back! read more

Great place! Never too long of a wait, they have plenty of barbers on hand. Milanna cut my hair and she did amazing! So quick and precise, and accomplished exactly what I was looking for! Fun and friendly, and talented barbers! read more

I've been here several times and unfortunately I haven't had a good cut since the first time. The rest have all left my hair either lopsided or shorter than I requested. I can live with an average haircut, based on the cost, but I have a harder time handling the disorganization of getting in. They don't operate on a first come first serve basis, but rather who can leap out of their seat first and rush to a chair when someone yells "next". The last time I was there a verbal altercation occurred between customers who had been skipped. There are plenty of barbers in the neighborhood and I'll spend the extra $2 for a good cut and service. read more

Pros: Skilled barbers Great price Friendly manager Free beer/H20 waiting area Cons: None so far Usually get hair cut by Tim but others are great also. Tim has laser-like precision and leaves my hair just the way I asked. Join Belly regards for free haircuts and beard trim. Highly recommended. read more

They do a regular haircut, price is fair and service is good. Except for one thing - they hound the hell out of you for a good yelp review. I anxiously agreed to write one, but I overheard them speaking in Russian that if I were to write a bad review, their "Premium Account" would allow them to bury this review. Lets see if that's the truth... read more

So I NEVER write reviews on here, but my recent experience at George's 2 merited one. I came in after a friend gave me a free haircut that didn't really do it for me. He left the top a bit too long, so I figured it would be easy to go into a cheap barber shop instead of fixing it myself. Unfortunately, I went to George's 2. I told the barber that I wanted him to even out the top to match with the sides in length. He told me he'd have to cut it shorter all around because my friend had missed some spots on the back. Fair enough, I agreed. I trusted that he was evening out the top, but I couldn't really tell because he never showed me the full view in a handheld mirror, the way that most decent barbers do. Granted, I should have asked him to, but I was a bit distracted by him treating my scalp like it was a fleshy punching bag. Seriously, this was the roughest haircut I've ever gotten. When the cut was over, I just wanted to get out of there and save my head from further punishment, so I gave him a $20 and asked for $3 back, indicating that I was going to tip him (begrudgingly). It was only after he gave me back $6 (not $3) and I saw my haircut that I realized that he hadn't listened to anything I had said: from the request of the type of cut to the amount of money I was trying to pay him. He had kept the top still longer than the sides, simply making everything shorter overall, making me look like a pretty goofy hipster. Trust me, I cannot pull off that look. By the time I realized this, another customer was already in my seat, and I was silently fuming. I just decided to leave the shop and deal with a few weeks of a stupid cut until it grows out. Sure, it's not a big deal, but it's pretty frustrating when you feel like the person you're trusting to do a good job just straight out doesn't listen to you and doesn't care. Dudes, I know what you're thinking: cheap cut! Not bad reviews! Sounds like an OK barber shop for somebody looking for a deal! But please do yourself a favor, save yourself the frustration, and go anywhere else. Just DON'T go to George's 2. read more

After looking like Grizzly Adams for a year and a half, I thought I'd surprise my boyf with a cleancut face when he picked me up from the airport. Unfortunately, the friends I was staying with didn't have any shaving cream so I found myself in a lurch. Enter Yelp Search for Well-Reputed Barber Near Me. On a Monday afternoon it was just me and the few Russian barbers in the shop. Olympics were playing in the background. Couldn't really watch for fear of getting a straight razor to my jugular. Peter (Pieter?) was an amazing barber. He cuts my hairs better than my regular haircutter at home (sorry Tam!!!!), and gave me a wonderful shave. And the prices, are you fegging kidding me?! $12 for the haircut. $12 for the shave. I'm not sure if these prices will persist; something Peter (Pieter?) mentioned suggested they may be introductory prices since they just opened this location... but even if it was more, after this experience, I would definitely be back if I lived in BK. Go here. Ask for Peter (Pieter?), and have fun. If you are a boy (or hell, girl) who has never gotten a shave, then TREAT YOURSELF to this awesome (don't panic, you won't get cut) experience!!!! read more

If you want a "great" boring ass haircut that makes you look like a "regular" guy then this place is just the place for you. I can assure you that all of the reviewers who are giving this place 5 stars are: a) probably unadventurous "regular" guys b) probably not very fussy about how their hair looks c) probably cheapskates They are nice and will give you a good cut for cheap but if you have any kind of vision for how you want your hair to look prepare to have that dream cropped (literally) into one of their simplistic boring molds. read more

I don't trust many people in this world. My black list is lush with art managers, gallerists, and barbers. For this reason, I elect to work with few if any, and I usually cut my own hair. That is until I found Goerge's 2 and Emmanuel's imperious command of the clipper. I'd visit George's 2 on bad days, when I felt melancholic, triggered and dodging my verbally abusive landlady in Park Slope. I was a live-in servant, paying 1200 a month for what I thought would be free reign over her two story brown stone in prime Slope, the ability to store large paintings in the uncharacteristically large home. The only caveat being house chores, for she was bedridden and had driven family away with her violence. It was at George's 2 that I felt safe, a cold beer in my hand. A shot of whiskey from a plastic thimble one usually sips mouthwash from at a dentist. Emmanuel with his kind, Uzbeki eyes; He would meet my sad, sunken Middle Eastern glare with an air of kinship. He would say, "have a seat," and I would tip my head back, trusting that he would not slit my throat. I always slept in Park Slope with my room's door locked. I was on the verge of artist fame when I first started visiting George's 2 but had not yet understood the importance of artist image. Emmanuel, a Bernini with Scissors, understood it well. I had told him of my gallery opening, the rich relative who would fake bid on my work. He laughed, thinking it a farce. I will not name the gallery here of course, for they were involved in the nefarious scheme of a painter and his distant real estate mogul relative looking to get laid in the art scene. Many photographers lurked, snapping away at my perfect fade, courtesy of Emmanuel at George's 2. He was my guardian angel that night, and I sold four paintings to absolutely no one of relation whatever. It was a horrible decision to move to Park Slope. I dodged many rats on the sidewalks. Very little good came out of it, aside from being a block away from George's 2. What better than a fresh fade, wiped clean with a horse hair brush. Emmanuel yields his brush with the same care I yield mine, and while I make thousands from just one painting, Emmanuel would charge me peanuts and exude the same care and expertise. He treats other's heads better than most treat their own, what with molly, cocaine, or the cheap wine served in plastic cups to the uglies with tote bags at these forsaken galleries. Those in Art can be so self-important. And none are as artisan as my barber. Collectively, Emmanuel has spent hours on my beauty's potential, all while remembering to ask about my trade, who I was last dating, and how well my family was. Just fine, Emmanuel. Just fine. read more

George's 2 babershop was recommended by my roommate when I first moved into Brooklyn. I am so thankful that I was able to find a barbershop that no matter what time of day, or what day of the week you walk in I barely wait and I leave with a perfect skin fade everytime regardless of what barber cuts my hair. All the staff and friendly and talented. I highly recommend George's 2. read more

I came here for a shave with my friend who swears by this place. Raffi does a spectacular job with the hot towel shave. Not only did I look 3 years younger, but it was really relaxing and not a single knick or cut appeared on my normally sensitive face. It really feels like you are at a 1950's esque barber shop (where they just happen to speak Russian). Check them out if you're in Park Slope! read more

Everyone is very meticulous and takes their time to really get your hair right. Also, folks are super friendly and always make sure customer is satisfied. read more

This is an amazing barber shop! I walked in today for the first time and was immediately brought to a chair. The barber, Joe, gave me one of the best haircuts of my life. The overall ambience of the place is great too -- very welcoming and comfortable. I highly recommend going here and it will now be my go-to barber shop! read more

You can either get your haircut here and get a quality inexpensive haircut or you can go somewhere trendier, spend more money, and maybe have something to talk about when people ask where you got your haircut. If you need to get your haircut somewhere with barber poles and other barber nostalgia tacked on the walls like a g*dd*amn applebees this is not the place for you. If you want quality, precision, and all the hospitality eastern Europe is famous for, go here. I've gone there faithfully for a little over a year. Honestly, they are very professional, they care about customer loyalty, and are the perfect blend of low cost and high quality. read more

Great service. I came in during the weekday during an off time and it was empty. Very friendly and very clean. I had to get my haircut fixed. I took it upon myself to try and give myself a quick buzz using clippers... things didn't end well. I told my barber that if he could fix it he'd have a repeat customer. I will be going back. It was a clean cut with great lines. The straight blade really gives a sharp appearance and I was in and out in about 20 min. Not bad for 14 bucks! read more
