But you know, us mama's got take our lil dudes to keep their hair looking tight. So in I'd come w my boy, and the entire vibe changed in an instant. They did this for every woman who walked in w her son, or any man who came in w an under-age young man. I always, always appreciated that. We were regulars and hence did witness on rare occasions things getting a little "out of hand". It was swiftly dealt w and the barbers always apologized. Ralphie's haircuts were always wonderful. It seemed almost all the customers were regulars. There was low turn over of the barbers and it was always great to hear who got married, who had a new baby, what grade the kids are now in, etc. We miss The Shop so much and have yet been able to find such a wonderful spot!

The summer humidity was doing a number on my hair and on a break I sought a solution even though roaming the neighborhood was perhaps unwise. But I found that solution and so much more at The Shop. While I've not seen the flick "Barbershop" I now know it'd be a waste of my time. The Shop was an experience so authentic that there's no way Hollywood could've got it right. This place is straight hip-hop. For real. _C$

Okay for a neighborhood barbershop. The barbers cut hair good, there's usually not a long wait…read more However, sometimes when they get to talking they lose focus on the client in the chair. On my last visit here last week, me and my son got haircuts. My four year-old son got cut by Joey and ended up getting barber's rash all along his hairline in the front and back. I think we will need to find another barber in the area. If you go here make sure you go to someone who knows how to do a hygienic cut!

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.

This is a great spot for Black men looking for quality haircuts…read more While it may not be the most practical option for locals in the area, it's definitely worth the trip if you're coming from neighborhoods like Harlem or elsewhere uptown. I have been coming to this location since 2008. I don't visit Manhattan often, but whenever I do, I make sure to stop by. A man named Mr. Otis used to cut my hair, but he has since retired. One of the co-owners, Low, cut my hair this time. I was also greeted by the other co-owner, Mike. Both were cool and respectful. Low, in particular, knows how to have a good conversation about current topics. It's raw and unfiltered private communication like this that lets you unwind and just be yourself. Be aware that there's usually a wait time, but on less busy afternoons--like Wednesday afternoons--you can often walk in with minimal wait. The neighborhood is less populated by Black men, so this place stands out as a go-to barbershop for our community, and I really appreciate that. The barbers here may be older, but they definitely know what they're doing. They have steady hands and always offer a welcoming, professional environment. I've never encountered any negative vibes or unprofessionalism. While I don't visit often, the barbers maintain a great reputation for precision cuts. At between $40 and $50 for a haircut, it's an affordable option considering that other cities often charge more for similar services, especially when it comes to fancier cuts. This place sticks to the basics, offering solid, old-fashioned haircuts, which I personally prefer. While there are some stairs to climb to reach the shop--so it might not be ideal for those with physical limitations--the price and quality of the service make it well worth the effort.
