I also stopped by the shop and asked to talk to him (he was not there). He has offered to fire the person and/or compensate me with $60 + a free haircut if I change the review (photos attached). Giving me a bald spot for fun is way too unprofessional for me to consider changing the review. I have offered to point out the guy to Arthur, but I am not asking for the guy to be fired. One of these guys gave me a bald spot because he thought it was funny. He thought I didn't notice and gave me a fist bump with a slight smirk on his face after the haircut. After the haircut my girlfriend told me I was balding, and I instantly realized what happened. The hair grew back to normal in a few weeks. At least one of the guys working here is an unprofessional jerk, so l'd recommend going somewhere else.

Then I resorted to yelp search for the best men's haircut salon in the area. Tina's salon came up as the top-rated and reviewed option. I took a chance and booked an appointment.

She gave me an awesome haircut and also trimmed my beard so that I can attend the wedding reception with the best looks!

You have to find a small door on the right side (facing De Janeiro) and then take the elevator to 17th Floor. Tina's Salon is in Suite 1702.

But most of those glowing reviews are pre-covid. I don't know if a lot of their stylists left but there's a notable lack of reviews post-covid. They're kind and the space feels lux and quiet. Problem is communication, went multiple times feeling very whelmed and changed stylist every time. After my third time I think I'm done, I've shown pictures and discussed with them what I wanted but they can never seem to get it right. Instead they default to a generic taper short off the sides and medium top cut, but then why tell me you can do the cut or even have experience with it? Is it my head shape? Face? Am I too ugly? Communicate that to me before you decide to just ignore the conversation we had and just free style. It's frustrating because I am growing out my hair for this cut and they do what they want. I don't want to be rude and stop you mid cut but then why am I paying so much just to be left unsatisfied? Most of the men leaving the place have the same exact cut. Anything longer than a short to medium cut is a no go, those cuts look clean and nice. Kept going in with shoulder length wavy hair just to get butchered every time.

I just saw a Times article about all the hipster barbershops opening up in Manhattan and was…read moreappalled by what I read. One jackass who charges $100 for a haircut talked about how a real barber (such as himself of course) only does 4 haircuts an hour. Really 4 haircuts an hour? That's 15 minutes each, which after getting in and out of the chair and prepping and combing equals about 10 minutes. You might as well go to supercuts to get that sort of crap haircut. Which brings me to Jerry's! If you are in the city and want to spend 1/3 of what some hipster doofus barber will charge you then check out Jerry's! I used to go to Jerry's consistently when I first started working in midtown but started going to a place in jersey near where I lived at the time, though I still pop over once in a while. If you are in midtown and want a good haircut, this is the place (great if you work in midtown and the boss is giving you crap about your shaggy hair). Mostly older barbers who can do a variety of styles (though I doubt they do shaggy hipster/bieber cuts).They give a very thorough, careful haircut. Usually lasts at least 25 minutes, since they actually take their time and go over it more than once to make sure it is perfect. It is pricey around $30ish I believe, but hey, its in midtown. And of course they use a straight razor, and less importantly but still really cool, they have an ancient hand cranked hot towel machine! P.S. Its very difficult to find (buried in the basement) so ask for directions at one of the rock center info desks located at each entrance.

To change or not to change....If someone said to me 25 years ago that I would one day move above 14th street I would've said, "absolutely no way, everything important to me is downtown, my friends, my favorite coffee shops, my favorite restaurants, and of course my barber in Soho." ....and just like that, the pandemic happened and changed everything. I moved to the Upper West Side and then moved to the Upper East Side, but continued to be faithful by going to my barber in Soho. One day my barber had an emergency and couldn't cut my hair and I panicked. Not getting my haircut was not an option. I was on a mission to find another barber. I guess it's true, all things happen for a reason, because I found the best Barber Shop (Great Style) on the Upper East Side at 1734 Second Avenue, NYC 10128. Nathan's an amazing barber, he's familiar with a variety of techniques, eye for details, and most importantly is able to work with clients who have different hair types. Change is good. read more

BEST HAIRCUT HANDS DOWN ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE I moved to the Upper East Side a couple months ago and needed a barber asap but had no idea where to go. I tried out the first place I walked by and they didn't listen to anything I had to say and gave me a terrible cut. I had to fix it, so I did some googling and found great reviews for a spot on 90th and 2nd. I've now been coming to Natan for 3 months and don't plan on ever going anywhere else. He's everything you look for in a barber: friendly, highly-skilled, great location, great prices, and most importantly he truly listens to how you want your hair cut and cares about how you look. I could not recommend him enough! read more

Natan is a master at haircuts and beard trims and simply the best in NYC. It's cheap, it's clean and there is always a good conversation as he cuts my hair. I highly recommend this to all New Yorkers and visitors. If you go during the holidays you might even get a complimentary holiday drink!

Great Style Barber Shop on 2nd and 90th has been here 4 years and I've been coming here for three years. Natan is my third barber in the last 20 years as I'm very particular about my hair with multiple cowlicks. Natan takes great care in carefully cutting and styling my hair every time I come in. He's very pleasant and is open late til 7:30 on weekdays so I can come by after work, and he's open all weekend, very convenient. I definitely recommend getting your haircut with Natan at Great Style Barber Shop! read more
