Been coming since I moved to the neighborhood in 2024. Eugene does such an incredible job every time I go. He is my go-to barber and always go for my monthly cut. I highly recommend this place. read more

I came here for the first time a few weeks ago and had an average experience, with nothing negative to say. I recently returned for a clean up and had a terrible experience. My neck was profusely bleeding in multiple spots, and rather than acknowledge it, the barber made sure the mirror didn't make them visible. No mention of it until I noticed blood on my shirt and hands while leaving. I can understand a few scraps, but at least an acknowledgement and apology would have been sufficient. read more

George and his team have moved across the street to a smaller corner spot but the haircuts and service are still terrific. I've had a few different barbers cut my hair here and all do a good job. Also, he still does watch battery replacement and some repairs here. read more

I recently had a hair transplant and was explicitly clear to the barber not to touch the implanted areas. He completely disregarded this and immediately put the razor to the area. He ruined my transplant and I'm out thousands. Worst barber experience of my life. read more

George and his team are the best in the business. I've been coming here for years and refuse to go elsewhere because of the quality and professionalism. And the conversations on the chair are just as good! read more

I asked for a very short haircut. When he was done I asked him to make it a little shorter. He said, "that was number two; do you want number one?" Thinking he meant trimming it a bit more, I said go ahead - AND HE SHAVED MY HEAD BALD, which was definitely NOT what I expected or asked for! (The shaved head look is currently popular, but it's not for me.) I'm really angry at this guy for his "cleverness" and dishonesty in not plainly describing what he meant by "number one." (Also, their pricing is evidently subject to revision: he charged me $37 for the "$35" haircut I sat down for.) When my hair grows back I am definitely NOT returning to this wiseguy's shop. PS: the barbershop moved from 1st Avenue between E87 & 88th Streets to the SE corner of 1st & 87th, but it's the same people. read more

Been getting my haircut here for years now. George and the other staffers here are friendly, quick and efficient. Definitely recommended.

Got a great cut here and didn't have a wait to see me mid-afternoon. 32 bucks for a haircut for a card payment. Will be back!

George does a great job cutting hair! He's also a watch, coin and jewelry dealer.... friendly guy! read more

Terrible experience here. He kept saying the haircut was done, but when I got up to take a look it was so choppy and incomplete that had to return to the chair three times to get it finished. When I asked him to fix it, he muttered under his breath "this doesn't matter" quite annoyed. Sloppy, unprofessional with a bad attitude, won't return read more

Being getting hair cut by George already for 5 years. I am very happy with the results, he nails it every time and his new place is super cozy and clean, everything there is brand new so I would definitely recommend to check it out. I will get my hair cuts with him until he retires! read more

Basic haircuts from basic skilled barber. Weak style and does not understand client. Shoutout eugene, you cannot cut asian hair. Now i need to grow my shit back and redo my style. He also messed up my cowlick in the top back of my head. Sometimes you dont see how messed up a haircut is until you get home wash it and see how it looks naturally. They trash. Even if you cannot cut asian hair, you could at least give a nice tape up or shape up. NOT EVEN close. Very basic hair cuts and skills. They try to tell you whats wrong with your old/current hair and think he's doing god's work. And im just like yea..*nods..whole time im thinking bro you suck you fucked up my hair but finish so i can fucking leave read more

A hidden gem! I have been coming here for about ten years to get my eyebrows threaded by Sweetie. She also has done microblading to my brows and it came out wonderfully!!

Terrible. Didn't listen to a word I said and took way to much hair off. I've been to every barber in the area and by far the worst exerience Update: this barber still maintains his unprofesssional interactions with customers as well as places blame on them . There are plenty of superior shops in the area including artisan barber or quality barber. Please learn from my mistake. read more

Very efficient and friendly staff. Stylist understood immediately what I wanted. Fast checkout. Definitely will be back. Was looking for a good neighbourhood salon. read more

A great barber shop. Everyone is friendly and it is quick and affordable ($20). I needed a little more hair cut off the top after he had removed my "bib." The guy was more than happy to do it for me. All in all, a perfect hair cut for the perfect price. read more

Bülent and George never fail to give great service and best haircuts in Manhattan... killer deals on watches as well

George is the best. If you're in the UES, this is the place to go. I've been coming here for several years now and have never once been unhappy with my haircut. He's also fast, so you're not there forever, but still does an awesome fade and cut. One time he wasn't available and I had my hair cut by one of his other barbers. They also did a good job, but I cannot remember their name and also went back to George cause that's my guy. Recently they moved into a new spot a block away and upgraded the space. Not that I personally care about this stuff (I just need a good cut), but they now have a bigger space with special kid seats and everything. I have no kids but I guess if I did they'd wanna sit in a cool chair for a cut. They also have TVs as well that you can watch. read more

The WORST haircut I've ever had!!! I went there a week ago because he was rated good. So he receives me with an attitude and sends me to a chair. After explaining how I wanted my cut and telling him that I wanted the left side shorter and the right side long (i have a pixie cut that I've been trying to grow out and it had taken me at least two months to grow the right side) the first thing he does is SHAVE my right side!!!! OMG!! I told him I wanted a "cool" look and he shaves everything and makes me look like a little boy! Then another lady comes and he is like "I'm almost there with you" and he tells me that he's done.... He had just done a horrible job, didn't ask me if I liked it, nothing, just sends me off and takes his next client. AWEFUL!!! And the wooooorst client service!!! read more

My bf has been coming to George every 2 weeks for the past 5 years, . They're like the best of friends and always seem to have something to talk about when they see each other. It's a comfortable place as I always have a seat when I wait, which is never a long time. He always tells his friends to come here, and even works our schedule around traveling here for a haircut. Bummer for me. Price is great at $15 and I heard that he even cuts women's hair for $25. Good to know in the event of a worst case scenario. read more

I gotta give this place 2 stars Cus one would just seem like I'm an angry disgruntled customer... The guy just can't cut hair and that's what he does for a living. He can't speak English, which leads me to believe he had all of his cousins rate this place five stars. I asked him to give me an edge up and he looked like his head was about to explode. It was almost like the guy had never heard of an edge up. Honestly Id say it was like I was speaking russian to him, but he would have understood me had i done that! Then he rolls his eyes when I ask him to use the straight razor on me..,, Terrible service Disappointed to say the least read more

Not the worst haircut I ever had but here is my experience. I walk into the shop. It's empty except one guy who's dealing with some sort of purchase with the owner. There are three barbers. One male is sitting in one of the barber chairs. The female is sewing and watching a drama on her portable video player. No one acknowledges me. I stand there awkwardly for about 10 seconds before the owner - who is still dealing with a customer - asks me if I am a new customer. I say yes. The owner asks one of the barbers to help me. A third barber comes out of nowhere and welcomes me to his chair. His English seems limited while I show him a picture of what I want. I get the haircut. Not what I wanted but it's not bad. He asked me if it was okay. I said it was good just because I wanted to get out of there. Cost $15 and tipped the guy a farewell $5. Say thank you to the owner. No acknowledgement. Won't be coming back. This place was probably good a while ago but not now. read more

Cutting Asian hair is supposed to be easy. But it's not. George boasts that he can cut my hair in less than 15 minutes. Bingo. I used to live around the corner so getting a cut was easy. One time it was raining and I borrowed an umbrella, which I forgot to return until a week later. I was afraid that he was going to walk the streets searching for me but I was wrong. I guess I'm not that important. I've also left him a few of watches which I didn't have to worry about him posting them on Craigslist. That's what I call trust baby. He also likes to give me occasional relationship advice. He does it all. read more

George continues to run a tip top shop! Mustafa and the new lovely Alla are smooth complement to eachother. The place is the best!! Must stop for a perfect chop! read more

George and Manhattan Barber Shop is great. Feels like a real community place. Cuts are fast, well tailored to your liking, and the new location is really spacious and well laid out. If you have kids you can have them get a cut in a cool car chair, and the ambiance is nice. Lots of neighborhood folks come here and it's down to earth. Ive been have my hair cut here since 2008 and plan to keep doing so! Highly recommend if you are in the neighborhood or on the upper east read more
