I've been coming here on and off for years with my dad. Have to say, hands down this new batch are some of my favorites anywhere. I didn't catch his name but there is this I assume Latin guy talking to his client as if they knew each for years, being vulnerable and making a real connection. It's refreshing to see such interest and humanity being brought in to not balance but outweigh what could have been an interaction as cold as metal scissors. Speaking on what was, is, and could be, he gave very relevant advice, and stirred the heart with his words. Truly he is a one of a kind. But the quiet star in my experience was issac. He warmly greeted me upon entering and sat me down with care taking an earnest look at the haircut I was asking of him. Had I been blindfolded I could not have told you that he cut my hair. That man has hands made of air such that the hair might as well simply have fallen off as his technique was so light and effortless. Each cut each snip was made precisely, cleanly, and without force. His command of his instruments are truly outstanding. Plus he is funny and has jokes. Whatever this salon may have been, it truly is a haven of talented people doing great work. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation. read more

AN HONEST REVIEW FROM CLIENT!!! This family owned Russian Barbershop simply put is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Hands down one of the best looking Barbershops I have ever visited, from its Antique Crocodile-Leather Seats to its large pristine Mirrors and Floors this Barbershop sets the standard. If there was one word to describe this place? It would be "classy"! Unfortunately, the Barbershop has been plagued with bad reviews because of one former employee with an extremely bad attitude named Winston, which I personally met with regret. Nevertheless with Winston now gone and with a new fresh staff of talented barbers, this barbershop is my top 1#choice. The owner Issac is true Master Barber with the scissors and razor sharp experience that reminds the world why Russians shave the best!!! Melissa and George What can I say? AMAZING barbers, Sexy, Sassy and the Skills the put most barbers to Shame! To sum up this review I can say I highly recommend, this is a very friendly and professional establishment you will enjoy, especially if your a boxing or a MMA fan (HINT). read more

I have only been to this shop twice. While the first experience went swell, my second, and FINAL experience, was a horrendous one. I was belittled and humiliated in front of other customers and another worker by the main man who owns the shop. As soon as i walked in i gave a warm greeting and then proceeded to wait for my haircut. When it was my turn i couldnt help but notice something this time was off. I had a cough at the moment and i started to believe something was wrong. Thats when we started talking about things as an effort for me to break the tension. As the conversation about how "pepsi puts aborted baby fetuses in our soda for flavoring" progressed he began to open up about what his real problem with me was. He told me "I'm going to tell you something right now. Dont ever, EVER come back to this shop when you sick again. I will send you back out and never let you back in to this shop. Im going to do your cut now but never come to this damn shop again if you are sick." I couldnt take him seriously and i started to try to ease him up by saying I understand, and i was admittedly laughing a little because of how ridiculous he was acting. Apparently this man calls himself germaphobic, but he is nothing of the sort. He had not ONE Purrell station in his shop, and he wasnt wiping anything down constantly with lysol wipes. He probably just washes his hands occasionally which is not nearly enough to call yourself a germophobe. Then i said "Look, I understand, my uncle is the same way", and he cut me off and said " Yo you think I'm playing, dont tell me stories about your uncle man, you sitting there giggling and im serious. Im not a demon who goes out and contaminates people, if youre sick, you stay in your house, not coming out here to get other people sick, after this cut, dont come back here ever again sick." And when I still tried to defend myself, he said "Yo, just stop talking man, I can see your germs. They are like neon lights coming out of your mouth." I had absolutely no damn words. First of all my uncle suffers from severe germophobia. He used to wipe his skin down with lysol wipes because he couldnt deal with the germs from just walking outside, so the mere fact that this man could dismiss that as a primitive attempt to " tell a fake story" is blasphemous. I dont know who this man thinks he is, but he doesnt deserve his own practice. Why is your shop even open?!?! If you are a germophobe, the last thing you should have is a barbershop for a business. One of the most germ filled businesses to have!!!!!! On top of that, not having even one purrell station in the store is nonsensical if you CLAIM TO BE GERMOPHOBIC!!!!! The way he talked to me, was intimidating, as if he was about to fight me. I couldnt even do anything cuz my cut was almost done and i needed it bad for that night. He kept insulting me, and humiliating me in front of people by telling me to stop talking and making me feel unwelcomed. I was enraged by this experience but i did not show it in the shop. To SPITE HIM, I still tipped and left with a smile on my face and coughed nice and hard by his chair on my way out. I will never visit this establishment again, but i hope he reads this and learns from this mistake, becuase this review wont do much, but if he doesnt read it and learn, then his behavior will surely continue in what is supposed to be the worst flu season in history, ( I DONT EVEN HAVE THE FLU, just a cough i contract because of my athmatkc complications and the cold weather) and his business's inevitable decline and dissapearance will continue with it. I hope he enjoys the fact that I specifically made a yelp account to review his shop. Thats how unsettling, and insulting my experience was. read more

I used to go to this place for many years when it was called D & I 27 Barber Shop before the owner (Daniel?) passed away. There was a sweet Russian woman that use to cut my hair there too when he was busy but I don't think shes there anymore either. Anyway, after work today (around 5PM) I decided to stop by- for the second time- to Haven to see Winston the new barber. He did a good job last time and I hoped he would do a good job this time. He was there with a client so I smiled and said hi and went to the back to wait for my turn. He just sneered at me. I thought nothing of it. Maybe he was hoping to close up soon? When it was my turn, I said, "Hey, how's it goin' man?" with a smile and sat down. "How do you want your hair cut?" he replied coldly. I told him what I wanted and he proceeded to use the buzzer. He asks, "Where did you get your haircut before this?" and muttered something about not having dreads? I said I saw him a few months ago and then he got angry with me. He said something like "No, before you ever saw me. Where did you go, man?" I explained how I used to come to the same shop before he was there. He started calling me a liar. "You have the aura of someone like of a liar and I don't believe a god damn word you're saying." I said how I used to get my hair cut by the old owner that passed away and a Russian woman. He still doesn't believe me. "You should remember their names if you've been coming here. All my customers that have been here know their names." What does this even matter? Why is he giving me a hard time? I explain how I never made conversation when I came here and I liked my hair long so I'd only go every few months. Why does any of this matter? Now I'm really uncomfortable and I guess I make this anxious sort of smirk and he goes, "You have this look like a creep, you know that? You have this smirk like you're up to something." I can't believe what I'm hearing- and hes in the middle of cutting my hair. I just want this whole thing to be over. He had on some Bob Marley-type of stuff on and I was digging it. I told him I'm smiling because I like the music. He goes, "You were smirking like that before I put on the music." Then he proceeds to go on about how he remembers "how creepy I was" the last time I was there and it bothered him. I said I'm sorry and just kind of sulked in my chair. "After this haircut- I don't know where you went before- but it wasn't here- but you can go back there next time, man, okay?" I don't know whether I want to cry or swing at him because of how upset I am but I just go, "Stop cutting my hair. I'll leave since you don't want me here." I go to get my things. My hair is a mess. He mutters something about me "shooting up the place" and something more about how I was a creep and all. I've never had a bad experience over a haircut? I actually offer to pay for his time. I ask, "How much do I owe you?" In a harsh tone he snaps at me and says, "Man, you don't owe me nothing!" I take my things- still sulking in disbelief and say sorry again before I leave. I close the door behind me- but he grabs the doorknob and slams it shut just as I'm walking out. I'm so upset. I was in such a good mood until I went in there. I'll never go back there again. I don't know what his problem is but I hope he can find peace. Ozone Park is a wonderful neighborhood with a ton of beautiful people and cultures. I won't let him ruin it for me. read more
