Eric is a the OG barber of Sunset Park. This ain't Supercuts or the Barber down the street where your haircut is done in 10 mins. That chair is your throne and the trim and shave is the royal experience every King deserves. Trim, wash, hot towel, steam, shave. This ain't a trim, it's an experience. read more

King of Kings - Waited almost an hour. - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been here probably three times, the first time was fantastic and I got a good cut with good conversation. The second time was OK. The third time I needed a cut before the next day, and it was at the end of the day, and I didn't have an appointment, but it was well within their hours of operations. The main guy left early and had some girl who is sweeping the floor cut my hair, I'm not sure if she's actually a hair cutter or not but it was so bad that I went to a different barber shop and they thought I tried to cut it myself. She ruined my beard as well. Took me a couple months to even write this post. They are cash only which is normally not an issue when the services great. Not sure what happened, maybe the guy had family business to take care of, not sure if I will go here again, but if I do, I will update this review based on my current experience versus my horrible last experience It's conveniently located for people who work in Industry City area. read more

Showed up at 11am on a Friday and they are closed with an explanation. Website and their door says they open at 10am. From other reviews it looks like this is a consistent problem. I drove 30 mins to get here and was a repeat customer. I will never be back. read more

Kink of Kings the best in NYC I recommend them to all my friends! Great people great costumers service! Keep up the great work. See you soon! read more

This looked so cool. I was just passing and spoke to their people. They are so good. Since I just cut my hair a week ago, I didn't cut today. I'm so sure I'll try this place next time. It should be in two weeks or so. I can't wait to try!! read more

So I am a female . yes I came in for a haircut .. honestly I kinda expected something more professional .as well as I wasn't very happy with the outcome of my hair cut . I came in with hair I can tie . The cut I wanted was short .. but they did it way to short . Btw it was a Mohawk style . I'm not gunna cry over hair it grows back so I didn't complain . What I will complain about is the fact that when u come in there's a bunch of males who do not work there eating lunch or just hanging out without masks . I normally wouldn't care , but it's business an a health risk . Especially being a pregnant female . I hope they do read there reviews . I get it if u have to remove a mask to do a clients facial hair . But unnecessary exposure isn't professional for your clients . I won't be back read more

I can't even describe the beard trim that I got here. It was a square neck. It made for some really funny videos tho.

Not recommended if you actually care about your health - anti vax sign in the window for weeks. Over priced as well and there are plenty of better options available near by. read more

What a way to turn away customers immediately. Should really keep your idiotic beliefs to yourself. Never turned around faster from getting a haircut. Would rather walk around with a mop on my head than support this place. read more

Best haircut north of the Mason Dixon line! Takes the time to do it right. Gonna go here anytime I'm in the city.

Walked into King of Kings, 2 barbers in their phones, no greeting. Sat with others waiting to ask how long the wait would be but didn't want to interrupt said texting. Text ended, then started chatting with guy in chair but he was on his phone as well. Barber proceeds to grab trimmers noticed customer in chair was now on his phone went back to phone once more. No greetings or acknowledgement of such from either barbers. 10 minutes passes I leave read more

I stopped by King of Kings for a haircut after reading good reviews. Including the yelp pictures of $25/pricing for a cut. Stopped by, cool shop, barbers are friendly enough. I paid with a card, which was swiped on a portable reader and then handed to me with a gratuity display. I selected 20% tip, no total pops up after you tip and I didn't think much of it. Couple of days later I'm looking through my expenditures and I see I paid $52.24 for a haircut! They charged me $52.24 for a fade and a bit of the top! No offer of a tipple of scotch, a bourbon or even a beer.....just a cut $52.24! I called and they informed me that there cuts are $40 + my 20% tip ($8.00) + $4.24 Credit card processing fee... F you! You would have had a loyal customer with me but at $52.24 a cut for a guy that gets his haircut every two weeks, no thank you. My search for the right Brooklyn barber continues. read more

It took me a while to find a place I liked, but one I found King of Kings my search was over! Eric (the owner) and Jay give fantastic cuts and seem to work on nearly every type of hair. These guys are great conversationalists, opinionated, and remember returning clients quickly. I really appreciate the fact that they know how to use scissors and not just a pair of clippers. Have yet to have a bad cut and don't foresee that happening ever. Keep it up fellas! read more

Eric is back! Second location of King Of Kings opened. Hot shaves and a deep conditioning without moving from the barbers chair. You get the classic/authentic Brooklyn barbershop with amazing music and conversation. It is def the best barbershop in Brooklyn. Truly lives up to its name, The kings of Kings county read more

I have frequented this establishment a number of times. They great barbers and do a wonderful job, sadly Industry City might be coming to an end but I'm happy that this place is still available for a quality cut without the feeling like I'm at some boys clubs. It's all business here and they do it well. "I like your cut G" read more

I am a friend of Eric. I had the privilege to witness Eric go from casting his vision about opening a barber shop, to realizing his dream. He is a family man, and he is also a comedian. Going to King of kings Barber shop gives me more than a great haircut and a clean classic shave; it is a place where I can feel safe, have great conversations, no need to worry about feeling intimidated or threatened by anything. It is safe for everyone including children, because there is a nonsmoking policy, no profanity, and no negative trash talk allowed. Refreshments are also available for customers, for free. Eric is a professional, and very detailed in his skill. He is very kind, and gentle. You will not regret his services. read more

I showed up at 7:10 pm 10/3/19 I asked for a haircut, and the 2 unprofessional so called barbers they told me they were closing shop for the day, WHY are you false advertising the schedule? The window clearly says 8:00 pm, ALSO a little tip to gain clients, stop calling clients DUDE learn some education and great customers with respect... I will never set a foot in this place .... read more

Definitely agree with other negative reviews here. I called King of Kings around 4:30pm. The guy on the phone told me they do walk-ins only and they close at 8pm. I said great, on my way. I arrived at 5:30pm to walk-in to 3 guys lounging on the sofa on their phones chatting. The dark haired guy said "we're closed man, sorry" I said "You're closed? I just called, you said you close at 8, it's only 5:30" still lounging back on the couch he says, "yeah, but I'm cutting my buddies hair then I'm done for the day" I told him "I just called dude and told you I'm on my way. It takes 2.5 hours to cut his hair? I can't wait u til your done" He says again "we're closed dude". Not even looking up from his phone. I will never return read more

Awful service. I had no choice but to walk out. I came back here after a few years of being a customer at the old location The new spot is over hyped for what you're getting, decor is tacky. I was not even acknowledged when I walked in even after saying hi to the barbers. I waited for an hour with no results, 40 minutes in the 2 barbers were occupied doing the typical Brooklyn fades (a 20-30 min job for a pro). It seemed like they were cutting individual hairs. Then they walked out. 1 of them taking a break, and didnt tell me when or if he would be back. Still I sat there like a ghost. The other one started cutting a females hair. I guess my patience has a time limit after all. I'll never go back. Don't waste your time. If anything book an appointment or something. Also I did try and call ahead. The number went straight to voicemail multiple times. read more

I found this shop by way of searching "best barber shop for beards in brooklyn" and I am so glad I dropped in. The shop is inviting, large and the decor is very cool. I've had my beard trimmed in many places but this was by far the most thorough and most (for lack of a better word) luxurious thus far. Eric did a phenomenal job. He was professional and pleasant. I have found my go to. read more

This is one of the best shops around town ! Eric and James are amazing people....they make it feel like home the environment is soothing and may I add they are pet friendly.The owner Eric just opened another shop on 34th and 3rd which has a more modern look to it architectural design is exquisite in both shops....I been coming to King of Kings for years and if you want great service along with an awesome clean cut both shops are equally experienced! This is the place to Be!! read more

Eric and James are the best! Every time I come in they treat me like family which is what I think is most important when selecting a barbershop. Even when they moved into their new location, I'm still going to see them because they know me, and I know them. Every other review talks about how great the hot towel shaves are. They definitely feel great. Everyone talks about the ambiance. It definitely is a very chill place to go hang out at, but most importantly walking out looking and feeling fresh. If you haven't been here yet, stop doing yourself a disservice and get over to King of Kings. But get there early because they will always have a wait. read more

reading reviews of people giving 1 star due to political stances, you people are the problem with this country

Called to see if I can get a appointment they said they only do walk ins which Is cool but I got there 30minutes later and the guy told me he doesnt even have time for anyone, you could say that over the phone instead of making someone come there waste over an hour of my time and now it's to late to get a cut anywhere else... I'll give it two stars for the place looking decent but that's the only nice thing I could say here read more

Why is it that the cheaper my hair cuts, the better they turn out? I wandered into this barbershop off the street and asked if they cut women's hair. I have a very short bob. The barber, Eric, hesitated, then said sure, why not. This made me a little nervous, but what can I say, I live dangerously. I gave a horribly vague, mumbling description of what I wanted. He asked me a few questions, and then gave me a FANTASTIC cut. He charged me so little that I feel guilty. Guys, you're probably used to paying in the single digits (!!!!) for cuts, but this is inconceivable for women, especially in New York. The best part is that it means I'll be able to get touch ups as often as I want without feeling guilty. If you are a man, or a woman with short hair (or willingness to get part of it shaved off!), I highly recommend this informal barbershop. It may have changed my life. read more

Walked in and felt right at home. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. Eric is this cute, funny, down to earth barber who gave me an amazing fade and design. I'd recommend everyone to come check out this shop! They even have open mic sessions coming up, I'd definitely be back :) read more

King of Kings - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I normally cut my own hair and do pretty good--since it's pride and I had some extra cash, I decided to have a professional fade. Called ahead to get a spot and was told to just stop in. Walked in 10 mins later and had to call cuz he was outside. He was polite and offered me a drink, but also brought in two people from outside. Had I known he had two cuts to do I would have done errands or gone somewhere else rather than immediately walk the 10 blocks to get there. It's a shame because he looked like he would have gave a good fade... Guess I'm back to cutting my own. read more

My favorite barber shop in sunset park. They have great vibes in the store and really care about every person getting a cut. I've known Eric for a while now and am always looking fresh after a cut with him. They use blades for the line up so you don't ever have to worry about getting a messed up scab from a buzzer. Just super professional barbers with a laid back vibe. read more

King of Kings - Eric at king of kings giving me a boss look - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great Work! The reviews on Yelp helped guide me to this barbershop and, I must say, the reviews were spot on! The layout of the shop is super chill & the work that is done here is great as well. As someone who pays close attention to detail, I have a great amount of respect for those that do the same- Especially in the haircutting industry! Glad to have met & have Eric cut my hair. Keep up the great work! Sincerely, A New Client read more

Excellent Barbershop. This Barbershop stands out in a neighborhood with many Barbershop. The inside decor itself is comfortable and classy. The outside looks inviting and eye catching. I'm a person who judges a barber shop by its appearance and King of Kings barber shop is definitely a place where I want to get my haircut. Eric is as cool as he is professional. All of my scheduled haircuts with Eric was done with care a dedication, which is how I like it. The barbershop has a SoHo feel and look to it. You can catch a good movie playing on the Tv while you wait, and don't be surprised if Eric offers you a Beer and makes you feel at home. Eric takes appointments Monday-Thursday only, Friday -Sat walk-in only. I recommend. read more

Great shop. Awesome barbers. First time here and I'm leaving completely satisfied with my fresh undercut. My new home for maintaining a fresh cut. read more

Great barbershop. It has been a pain finding a barbershop in Brooklyn and I have used yelp as a guide to do so. I walked into King of Kings and was greeted with a friendly face. What I like about this place is that it gives you the feeling of sitting in your living room. Flat screen tv's on the wall, cold and warm drinks being offered, and friendly conversation amongst the barber and his clients. I went there one Saturday afternoon and got my cut by Eric. I like that he ask questions about how you like your haircut before assuming he knows what you want. He is not afraid to ask you more than once what is it that you want him to do with your hair. He's very detailed oriented, professional and friendly. When it comes to working with new barbers I am sometimes nervous because they tend to not be an expert at what they do and I end up leaving dissatisfied. I am happy to say that Eric is excellent a t his craft and he has gained a new client. I highly recommend this place to anyone that lives near in Brooklyn. read more

Had a great experience... I've read all the reviews about how great Eric is, but he was busy with a client. James did a great job... Got me in the chair and within minutes we were having a really casual, fun conversation. I Explained that I started growing my hair out a few months ago after years of shaving my head completely bald and James was more than accommodating and gave some of his input on what he thought would look good. All and all it was a great experience. Definitely going back next time I need a fresh cut. read more

The wait was a bit long, but when I finally got my cut, I can see why! (Don't worry, they've got good music to help the time go by). It is damn near impossible to find a really good barber at this price. Eric was a master! 15+ years of experience, this man knows what he's doing. Super nice guy, too. He did exactly what I wanted, and he shaped my beard perfectly! Which is what I'm always most hesitant to have a barber do. He was so thorough and used techniques I've never even seen a barber do. And on top of all that, the shop is 4 blocks from my apartment. This man just got himself a new regular today. read more

UPDATE 1/3/2016: I've been a loyal customer for almost 2 years now and it is still an amazing place with awesome cuts. I don't trust ANYONE else with cutting my hair. Original Review: 5/7/2014 I've been trying to find a place closer to home that can not only do good cuts, but can handle a cut for women. Yelp wins again, because I did a search and came across King of Kings. This super convenient barber shop right off the 36th Street stop is just 10 minutes by train from home. The spot itself is super clean, really modern and fresh... there's ALWAYS cool music playing. The folks there are uber professional and really listen to how I want my cut to go. For any ladies that understand how hard it can be to not look "like a guy" when your hair is that short, you'll get it. Prices are very reasonable at $20 for a cut, but at least you get it the way you want it. I went for the 2nd time last week, and I'm really a happy camper. I've seen how they do shaves on the guys, and it's really sharp-looking. Best suggestion: come early if you want to be in and out quickly. It can be a little bit of a wait since it's relatively popular, but with the music playing, it's easy to pass the time. And it's worth it. This is DEFINITELY my go-to spot from now on. :-) read more

If you want a stylish cut from someone not only experienced but friendly, in a hip space, come here. I've been three times and it's literally 1.5 hour by train for me. Once you find a good barber you never go elsewhere. One time I visited I was asked if I wanted coffee, they literally walked down the block and came back with a coffee for me. A haircut takes a good half hour while they take the time to make sure it's precise. read more
