Isaac is a pro and a great guy. He really understood what I needed especially when my hair was long and messy and I wanted to clean it up without looking too styled. Reasonable prices and high quality service! read more

Decided to finally try Isaac's barber shop after walking by it every day. Was pleasantly impressed and had a great time talking to the gentleman. Overall will be going back! read more

We were on vacation eating at Apollo Bagels( the bomb) and Mighty Quinn's barbecue ) best barbecue I've ever had ) when I saw Isaac's. My family wanted to go shopping so I read the reviews and stopped by. Sam was able to squeeze me in between appointments. He's a great story teller and really took his time cutting my hair. He even gave me a back and neck massage at the end. If I'm ever in NYC again I will go again. read more

I was walking around in the Village and saw Isaac's Barber Shop. I popped in and asked Sam if he could take me. He said about 10 minutes. When I sat in the chair I felt like I'd been going there forever. He spent almost a full hour giving me a great haircut. Nice guy too. I intend to go back when in the area again. Rich G. read more

Sam is very friendly and always gives a quality cut. My go-to barber in the West Village.

Sam is the man - best haircut in town (especially at the low price he somehow manages to keep year after year). He always makes a point to make time for returning customers too. Totally unassuming spot that I cannot recommend highly enough! read more

I'm leaving Dominique Ansel kitchen and I see pictures of Anderson Cooper in the window of this barber shop. Me personally, I think the guy looks like a demented alien! I need a haircut but don't make me look like this guy. I walk in and there is no wait. I sit and tell the barber EXACTLY how I want my hair cut. No Anderson Cooper styles thankyouverymuch. The guy takes out a damn buzzer and starts buzzing the sides. Now you may think whats the big deal but to me I notice my hair doesn't grow back evenly on the sides. If he would have used the thinning scissors I'd be up out of the chair. Another customer walks in with a big German Shepard. He asks the dog owner if he can play with his dog. Um.. focus on me sparky!! He's finished and I'm liking the new haircut. Not too bad. The other barber (Is it Isaac?) he asked me where do I get my haircut? I tell him and all of a sudden he whips out pictures of my barber. And he had hair at the time! ha ha He gives me a punch card. Come back 4 more times and the next cut is free. To me, that's like winning on a scratch off. I'm *MR PUNCH CARD*! I'll be back to collect my free haircut, you can count on me filling up the card. There is great coffee as well as the bakery. It's a trifecta in my world read more

Came to Issac's in the 90's. Stopped by today and Sam gave me a haircut that Exceeded my expectations. Same good Vibes and Quality Haircuts. I am back to stay. Thank you Sam. read more

Sam is the best! Great spot, great cut. And he played some great music. The only thing I would object to are the low prices. But easily remedied with a tip read more

Isaac's Barber Shop - Sam and I - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

Sam's the man! The haircut was outstanding and the price unbeatable... I'll be coming back for sure!

One of the beat haircuts in town. Our 13yo loves his cut every time and it allows us to walk around enjoy the village.

Isaac has been cutting my hair for a few years. I think he has a good sense of humor. I always enjoy visiting his shop. He can be a little random. Isaac's haircuts are consistent. I know what I'm going to get when he cuts my hair. I trust him. The shop is unpretentious. I feel comfortable there. Isaac is friendly and will often give a friendly wave if I pass the shop and see him. It seems like Isaac has a lot of loyal customers. As a transplant from Washington, D.C., I am grateful to have found a regular barber whom I feel comfortable with. read more

I arrived for my first cut since the lockdown. Arriving I noticed the shop was all new cabinets and painted. New barber chair. Someone who looks like Isaac's double. He informed me of Isaac's passing. Sam's cut (Isaac's brother) was perfect like Isaac's. I would recommend this establishment for anyone looking for a good cut. May he R.I.P. Gone far too soon...... Thank you Sam..... read more

Isaac is great, friendly good and quick. I've been passing his barber on 7th ave shop for months during my summer dancing at the Pier. Finally got a hair cut and looked 5-7 years younger. Always get compliment after the haircuts. I am a regular now. Go, Isaac. read more

Sam who just took over for his brother Isaac after his unfortunate passing is a real pro. He's been my barber for almost 20 years. Even when I moved to NJ I would come back to see him all the way in Long Island when he worked there. And I'm not the only one that follows him. He has a following wherever he goes, and for good reason. Sam always gives you the same dedicated attention no matter how busy he is. He is a true professional and I couldn't give a higher recommendation for a barber. At $25 a haircut and $17 for seniors he's an incredible deal. Open 6 days a week, closed Saturdays. read more

The best barber. Been going for 10 years, used to live in the West Village, and have been continuing to go back even after moving to Brooklyn. That's how much I like Isaac. Great value, great haircut, great guy. After a couple of times I didn't need to describe how I wanted my hair, he would just know. And his son Gabriel is excellent too - very meticulous (not as much in his comfort zone as his dad's), really takes the time to ask if the direction is the right one, which is much better than shaving first, questions later. read more

Great haircut and super friendly. Would recommend to anyone in the neighborhood.

I have known Sam for almost two decades and routinely got my hair cut from him at his last employer on Long Island. I referred my brother and dad to him. Unfortunately I no longer live in NYC and haven't gotten a good haircut since. I miss Sam's skills! There is no one better than Sam. He's a hard working and nice guy. read more

Highly recommend. He stayed late to cut my hair and did a phenomenal job for a great price.

Maybe Isaac gives Anderson Cooper a good haircut but he gave me three rotten ones in a row. This guy was on the phone, chatting to other barbers, watching TV and even trying to see what was going on in the barber shop across the street all while giving me a haircut. The results were terrible. The last time I tried him a poor guy came in demanding his money back due to a very obvious missing chunk of hair right in the front of his head. I felt terrible for him, but Isaac tried to throw him out and refused to give him his measly 17 dollars back!! The police came and everything! When I got home I had a black sludge on the back of my head that contained three colors of hair... None of which were mine!! GROSS!! I'll never go back. Rotten attitude, bad haircuts and other people's hair sludge on your head. Don't Go. read more

I have been going to Sam for a couple of years now, and every time he finishes cutting my hair I say the same thing to him, "Damn Sam, you've done it again!". He provides such an amazing value, as he states, "a $50 hair cut for the price of $25", and on top of that is a very genuine person, I can't recommend him enough! read more

Great barber shop. Sam gives the best haircuts I've ever gotten, and it's a fantastic value. Won't go anywhere else in NYC

I visited Isaac today at his new barber shop location just a block North along the avenue from his previous one. It's a clean welcoming space that is comfortable and well laid out. I had a short wait to see Isaac for my haircut today - it's always worth the wait and that is rarely ever very long at all. Isaac works at a calm pace and always gives me full attention and attends to all the details. He has always listened carefully to any particular concerns and always successfully addresses these when necessary. I have arrived several minutes before closing on several occasions and Isaac has always graciously invited me in to receive my usual haircut without any sense of rush at all. That is the way of a true professional who recognizes client loyalty and greatly deserves mine and yours. read more

I get my haircut regularly here. The haircuts from Sam are some of the best I've got if not the best. I pay half as much as I used to at my older barber and the cut is better too. He recently fixed my haircut after I had gotten an atrocious one when I went to California, so I'm very thankful for Sam. He's without doubt my go to. A very good guy too aswell! read more

Sam is outstanding. When he was at a place on the East side there could be two or three customers waiting for him even when the other barbers had nobody. $25 is a tremendous bargain for the time and skill he puts into a cut. The shop is not posh, but it's bright, clean, and decorated with photos of family and clients. read more

I tried 6 or 7 different barbers in NYC before I found Sam. Haven't gone anywhere else in 3 years. I have thick curly hair which can be a challenge to cut evenly... Sam is very thorough and takes his time, always giving me a nice cut and me not worrying about having to go back for touch-ups. I have followed him to his new location. Highly recommended, tremendous value! read more

Read about this place here while looking for a one-man barbershop during Covid. Sadly, the original owner of the shop, Isaac, passed away three months ago, but the shop is now in the very capable hands of his son, Gabriel, who learned from Isaac, starting when he was 15 years old. I've gone twice now and both times gotten GREAT, stylish haircuts, much better than the random place by my house and possibly even better than the big, fancy Fifth Avenue salon I've gone to for years. Gabriel understood what I was looking for and is easy-going, friendly, and a pleasure to be around. Also happy that he was happy to keep the door open for air circulation. This is now my go-to place! read more

He has a sign in the window that says "Shave $14". Seperately, on the opposing side of the store front is a sign saying, "Haircut, seniors $14". I got a shave and was told it was $16. I pointed out that the sign in the window said $14 and he claimed that was for seniors, on Wednesdays. He then pulls up a set of blinds inside that reveal a hidden price list upon which it says $16 for a shave. I laughed at the audacity of this bold face sham and lie. The sign is still there months later. The shave was only fair. read more

i went back to my old barber and now i will travel out of my way in the rain to see him. I had a good experience for a couple years at this place but after the man shaved my head when i went in for a haircut i can't go back. It a shame too because its close to my job but, for a man, a good haircut and trusting the guy doing it, means everything. read more

Worst hair cut of my life. It's shocking that a celebrity would choose to go to this establishment. When shaping up my sideburns the careless barber wasn't paying attention and took a huge chuck out of the hair on back of my head with the buzzer. I should have taken a picture to show how bad this truly was. He even had the nerve to still charge me for his "service". I wouldn't go back even if someone paid me. With many other options in the area its shocking that he still has a business. read more

I used to go to this barber shop for years before moving out of NY for a while. I recently moved back and came back to Yan for my regular, normal, quick, efficient, and cost effective male haircut. No one tussles my locks, there's no leave in conditioner, there's just an awesome Eastern European man that will make you look like a man too. The haircut is just as good as ever, so leave a good tip. read more

Very Good first hair cut, appreciate a loyalty card. I'll hopefully fill it up before I lose the rest of my hair!

WTF!!! If Isaac is the owner he needs to hire some new damn barbers!!! Can't even fathom how pissed off I am right now! The moron didn't even try and listen to what I was saying before he chopped off my entire beard. He literally took a clipper and trimmed the entire thing off!!! And then he couldn't even fix it or line it up properly. AND to top it off, they had the nerve to tell me "SORRY, But ITS JUST A BEARD." You're job is just HAIRCUTS!!! DONT EVER GO HERE! read more

I've been going there for years - the old place and now the new one. I've always left happy with one exception. They got a new guy recently and I wound up stuck with him. A younger guy. But the other guys have been nothing but great for me over the years. read more

hey if Anderson Cooper goes there every other week its good for the rest of us..

Haircut subpar. In and out of the place within 10 minutes; no attention to detail on the job with a cavalier attitude.

I have gone to Dina for years and followed her when she moved from her previous barber shop. She always gives me a great haircut and always makes for a good conversation. I have recommended many people to go see her. read more
