Archy at Cartel Hair Studio just gets it--he knows how to cut, fade, and style hair like mine. Every cut comes with a hair wash, and Archy always takes the time to recommend the right products for my hair type. He even walks me through how to style it step by step so I can keep the look sharp between visits. The attention to detail is next level. He actually studies how my hair grows and cuts it to suit my face and lifestyle. Whether you're after a clean fade, a textured cut, or something more modern, this is the place. If you're Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, or just have thick or wavy hair, book with Archy. You'll see the difference after one visit. Highly recommend!

Ten minutes late but honestly that's not a big deal at all. It was worth the wait because every time I've been here (and it was a different person cutting my hair each time) they do a great job. When I'm in the area and in need of a cut before a family event, this is where I'll come. One thing I liked was there was a nice convivial vibe where customers either knew one another or they seemed to. This creates a fun, welcoming atmosphere where you feel like you're part of the neighborhood even if like me, you've been away for a very long time!

It took me years to find a barber that I could trust to do a good job every time I saw him. Once I…read moremoved New York, I was so hesitant to try new barbers that I accepted the cost of going back to New Jersey every couple of weeks for a haircut. This year, however, I decided to try my luck--could there be a good barber in the largest city in America? Apparently there is, and his name is Sam at Fellow Barber. I went to Sam on accident, technically; I had made an appointment with a barber who, I was later told, was at a different location on my scheduled day. After asking the receptionist, whose name I regrettably did not get, who was a good choice, he recommended Sam. I get a fairly traditional haircut: scissors-and-comb all over, long on top and short on the sides, no fade or anything like that. In a world of electric trimmers and GreatClips, a barber who knows how to work the shears is an unfortunate rarity. I was pleased to find that Sam is one of those rare few. He acknowledged the multiple cowlicks in my hair, and clearly took his time. He didn't seem to make a single cut that was not considered, and even then went back twice to make sure that everything was even and squared away. The meditative experience was completed with a straight razor shave on the back of the neck--the only real way to finish a trip to the barber (short of a full face shave, another pandemic casualty). Until I have reason to change, I have made Sam my go-to barber for whenever I'm in the city. If you care at all about how your hair looks, I suggest that you do likewise--and tip well!

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.

One of the sweetest sounds to hear is when master barber Vlad calls "Next!" ... even if you're the…read moreonly other customer in his shop. Then you know you're in for a great haircut from a barber who sincerely takes his craft seriously. Vlad works quickly but cuts hair meticulously, and as a customer who has patronized his business for more than ten years, I know I can rely on him to give me the best cut possible. Vlad has a very good sense of humor and it's a pleasure to return to his shop month after month... even if it means having to watch CNN on the television set mounted on his back wall. From the first scissor clicks to the final powder puff dust off, the entire haircut experience is very enjoyable. I like and trust Vlad and I recommend him highly if you live or work in his Turtle Bay / United Nations neighborhood. Oh, and did I forget to mention Vlad's barber shop has a very nice barber pole?
