Do not get your haircut with the Russian woman. I explained multiple times exactly what I wanted: a low skin fade. I even told her at least five times that I wanted the sides down to the skin, basically a #0 fade. Somehow she still didn't understand and, after she was already cutting, said, "Oh, I thought you didn't want skin." To make matters worse, the haircut is uneven. One side is noticeably shorter than the other, and the fade doesn't match at all. It honestly looks like two different haircuts. I'm starting a new job and specifically came in because I wanted to look sharp and professional for my first day. Instead, I walked out embarrassed and now have to find another barber to try to fix it. If you go here, be VERY CAREFUL and make sure you're both on the same page before they start cutting. Personally, I would recommend asking for the male barber instead. He always does a great job. This was one of the most frustrating haircut experiences I've had in a long time. I gave clear instructions multiple times and still ended up with a haircut that looks rushed, uneven, and nothing like what I asked for. read more

Be extra careful who cuts your hair here. Maral accidentally gave me a buzz cut (after we discussed a high fade), and chopped off 3+ inches of my hair -- and they still charged me for the cut. Mistakes happen, but upon a closer look, she also missed spots (leaving blotches of longe hair). Would not recommend, and advise anyone to be extra careful if you do go. read more

Genuinely one of the worst haircuts I've ever gotten. They have no idea what they're doing. DO NOT go to the Russian woman here, she is extremely poor at understanding what you are asking for. read more

Highly recommend Alex. Does excellent work. Prices are super reasonable. Bright, clean location.

Superb haircut. No long wait and one of the best hair cut I've got in a long time. My barber totally understood my request and worked with my face shape. Thank you so much! Fantastic! I recommend. read more

Nothing fantastic about this place but at least they take credit cards and they gave me a decent haircut for the price, $30. I walked in on a Monday afternoon, no wait. read more

I got my haircut with Alex and he is amazing. I have been going here for 15 years. Always reliable

Great service and great cut. They know what they are doing. Used to go to another barber on Clinton st but they are always distracted speaking to everyone and not focusing on the haircut. read more

Avoid this place! I am writing this review to caution new customers and to give the place some feedback that I couldn't give when I got my haircut because they told me the cut looked good. I posted two pictures proving otherwise. I asked for a short fade- I wanted what I had but shorter. A fade is a standard ask from dudes who walk into a barber. She ended up giving me something of a skin fade except it wasn't faded at all. I tried to tell her that it wasn't gradual enough and that it switched lengths too drastically. She told me it was fine and that's all she could do. I promptly paid, and then walked up the street to another barber shop who fixed it for me free of charge. 1. They shouldn't have charged me/I shouldn't have agreed to pay. 2. Mr. Right was Mr. Wrong that day. 3. They need trained barbers in there. 4. Do yourself a favor and don't skip the line at a barber. There's no one in this place for a reason. I hope this place can figure itself out. read more

We came across this recently opened place on Clinton Street with its grand opening flags snapping in the wind. My husband has had long hair for a long time. He's ready for a change. We decide to go in. The place is sparkling with newness, though it's set up like an old-time barber shop. Yelena greets us. Liana is the stylist. She looks at his hair, asks him what cut he'd like. He says he doesn't know. She is patient, helps him decide, and goes to work. She is swift and adept. Within minutes, his locks are on the floor and she is shearing his new look to perfection. He is laughing, she is laughing. She finishes every edge, shaves a sharp, straight hairline on his neck. He is a new man. Yelena tells me that that they are Unisex, and hands the newly coiffed fellow a card to use for every cut. After 10, haircut #11 is free. Got the feeling that card's gonna fill up. read more

Don't be fooled by them opening 8am. They told my friend 22 plus 12 shave. There was 2 elderly women that worked there. They wanted 45 for the worst haircut my friend took in his life. Stay out...... read more

Second time there, but first time hair cut for me. First time I brought my dad there. He had a good hair cut and good service. My cut today was much shorter than what I asked for. No way of reversing it. Then she charged me $25 while she charged another female customer the normal adult cut price which was as listed $17 on their board. Me? No wash. Just hair cut. No styling. My hair isn't that long (just two inches past shoulder) versus the other female customer requesting special hair art like cutting, buzzing and trimming.. Etc. She asked me if I have been there before. I told her honestly I dropped my dad off once and he liked this place hence I came for a cut myself. However, when checking out.. she won't let me use the yelp check in coupon ($3 off), stating my dad has been there before. Really?! Wow.. Sorry. One bad experience erased the one good experience before. I still tipped her but NEVER EVER returning. read more

Where's Alex ??? Have used this shop for several years. Have gotten great cuts from Alex. He is apparently no longer with the shop. I assume he is with another local barber shop. If anyone on this site knows his current location, please post it. Thanks in advance. read more

Before I moved to NYC, I went to the same barber for almost 20 years. I moved here about a year ago and was concerned about finding a new place where I could get an awesome haircut. After my first visit to Mr. Right Barber Shop, I knew I had found the place. For the last year, I have been very satisfied with every haircut I have gotten here. The service and staff are great! Very friendly. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Doesn't get much better than this: Walked in after work and they saw me right away. The haircut took about 15-20 minutes and looked great! My hair stylist's name was Alex. I even got a complementary Coronita ;) I will definitely be back! read more

Truly a welcome change to what's available in the Brooklyn Heights/Boerum Hill area. - No wait. - Expert hair cutting. - One-on-one attention. - SUPER CLEAN. - Not stuffy and very welcoming. - Free beer! Yelena, the owner, is super sweet and attentive. Iliana is just straight up fast, to the point and excellent. This is my go to place. I get treated like royalty and walk out looking like a rock star. \m/ read more

I came in here looking for a new hairstyle and didn't know what to expect, jovid make me feel comfortable and at home , I let him know what I was looking for and he gave me a couple suggestions on what would look good and he already knew what he was going to do. He took his time and gave me a wonderful haircut ! Come see jovid read more

Completely messed up my beard and took a literal chunk out of it right next to my lip wear it's very noticeable and now lopsided compared to other side. If they couldn't do the beard they should of just said so. I didn't entirely notice until I got home and to be charged at all and let me leave the shop like that. What a joke. Never again. read more

While walking in the neighborhood a couple of weeks back I notice this new barber shop opening in the neighborhood. They were very polite and friendly and ask me to come back to check them out for my next haircut. I have a usual barbershop that I go to in my neighborhood and decided to give this one a try. They ask me exactly what I was looking for and gave me a really great cut. Shaped my cut very well and used a straight razor for the finishing touches. As an added bonus they used a hot towel on my neck and head to make sure that all hair leftover from the cut where removed so that nothing would be left on my clothes. This maybe my regular go to place. read more

Yelena is awesome! Being a woman with a men's hairstyle, it's been challenging to finds great barber and I have found her. There wasn't a yelp discount but I received a punch card, after 10 cuts the 11th is free. $20 and 20 minutes well spent, I once again have a gorgeous cut. I will definitely return and recommend them to everyone. Thank you fellow Yelpers for sharing this gem of a barber shop! read more

This place is fabulous! Very warm and friendly service; I had only a sense of what I wanted going in, but the barber was very helpful and gave me a great cut--and for only $20! I would definitely recommend this shop and come again. read more

I have to start by declaring that I'm a big fan of the Clinton Street Barbers who will probably always be my first choice for the neighborhood. But the wait there can be ridiculous, so after a couple of 1 hour+ waits I decided to try somewhere else. Mr Right was only a couple of blocks down and while I was initially a little worried by how quiet it was, they were very friendly so I gave them a chance. And very glad that I did! A great cut, cheap and lovely staff! Not quite on a par with Serge and his team, but close enough that I'll be back here whenever the wait is beyond 20 minutes. Highly recommended! read more

A friend recommended this place because she takes her 3 kids here and they love it. Add me to the list. My 1-year-old badly needed a haircut so we decided to take advantage of the affordable and reputable opportunity at Mr. Right. The staff was very friendly to us both and my son looks great. The man who cut his hair was fast (notable since my kiddo is not yet able to chill out around strangers) and everyone in there was pleasant...they even pulled up a video for my son to watch! They cut everyone's hair and have a discount card. I highly recommend Mr Right so keep them in mind next time you need to look fresh walking around this generally expensive area of Brooklyn. read more

I always take my som here for his haircut- and it's getting better and better every time! No wait and super nice people:-) read more

I am a refugee from Clinton Street barber shop, where I was never quite satisfied, waited forever, and had to listen to a constant stream of irritating talk from the owner. Finally, after being lied to about the wait time once too many times, I looked around for a better option. I found it at Mr. Right, where Alex has been cutting my hair for the past two years. I am bald on top, so making my hair look good is a challenge. Alex is quiet and thorough, he listens to me when I tell him what I want, and, over time, he has figured out a cut that really works. When Alex was on vacation Maria cut my hair, that also worked out well. I rarely have to wait. Of all the shops of this type in the neighborhood, I am convinced this one is the best. read more

Clinton St. Barber Shop had an hour wait, so I took a chance. I should've waited. Apparently, a "general cleanup/normal cut, shorter than usual" means buzz the shit out of the sides of my head. I had to tell the guy to go shorter on top just so it was somewhat even. Sideburns aren't remotely close to even, and around my temples there's somehow no hair. They're super nice, but jesus, this haircut is a disaster. It's going to take a few weeks for it to grow back and look relatively normal. Note to self: There's a reason there's no wait. Note to everyone else: Wait at Clinton St. Barber shop. Pass on this place. read more

This is great alternative to the barbershops presently in Cobble Hill/Brooklyn Heights area. The Barbers are friendly and attentive to your needs. My teenage son and l both get haircuts here monthly. Given the great price and cozy shop you'll be happy to come back. read more

Mr. Right Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn Heights, New York

First off, a regular haircut is $17.00 on the board but I got charged $20.00. $20.00 is supposed to come with a wash which I was not offered and the hair was not even styled after my haircut. He left my hair wet and it is starting to get cold outside. I come home to wash it and style it after just to find out that my hair was unevenly trimmed. I normally style my hair like a combover to the left. There is a big patch of hair coming out of the left. I do not mind the price of a haircut or even being charged that much but at least give a decent haircut. The only times that I have come here and got a decent one was with Lianna but she was not available. Either way, I will be sticking to my barber in Queens. read more

First time to this place, i was desperate becsuse it was 6:45 on a weekday. A woman named valentina (asian looking russian speaking woman) not only thinned out my hair when i didnt want her to, but also made my hair lop sided. And my confidence is gone. I also have depression and anxiety which doesnt help. The worst part of it was during the end after she washed my hair, she tried to pretend she didnt mess up and tried to dodge my questions with conpliments about how nice i was. I was nice, maybe too nice, i tipped her $6, I figured since im not coming back it wont matter. It was troubling how she didnt seem to care. read more

Fast and great haircut for $18. Clean and cozy place, I'd definitely come back for my next haircut.

Elena is wonderful. My 98 year old dad is always happy with his haircut and the friendly service. Great neighborhood barber shop/salon. Thank you. read more

After walking by Mr. Right many times, I finally brought my 2 year old in for a much needed haircut. The hairdresser did a great job! My son was a little scared at first and didn't want to sit but she distracted him with a water spray bottle and he calmed down. Then the owner pulled up a nursery rhyme video on her phone and let him watch. They all seemed really nice and attentive. The place is small but clean and the prices are really reasonable. read more

Went here for the very first time today and got a terrific haircut by Maria who couldn't have been more patient and attentive. Absolutely no wait. Through the door and into a chair which was a refreshing change having to usually wait for over an hour just up the street. Plus owner Yelena was quite friendly and offered me a "get 10 cuts and then 1 free card" which is really decent of them. I will definitely go back. read more

I just had one of the worst haircuts of my life at Supercuts on Montague and I came here to have it fixed. Maria cut my hair. She was extremely thorough and completely fixed the bad cut. I would highly recommend this barber shop. The staff are very friendly and they do a great job. If you're looking for a reasonably priced haircut in the area, you won't go wrong here read more

Tired them out today and it was great. Very polite and did a good job with my haircut. I also got a shave as well. I would for sure go back again. And they are very reasonably priced. read more

Walked in, sat in the chair, got a great regular men's haircut. The ladies there are very skilled and very personable. Highly recommended!

Proceed with caution, they're reckless when cutting your hair and don't listen to what you want. I went in there with only hoping to tighten my sides and instead walked out with 3 inches off the top and a buzz all around, no fade................... read more

Phenomenal haircut, fast, friendly, and inexpensive ($15). I live two blocks away and will definitely come back.

Awesome barber shop with a very short wait! Got a cut from Rob and it looks great. All I told him was that I like my hair short on the sides and long on the top and he gave me exactly what I wanted. Definitely will be returning! Also, a cold beer with the haircut was a nice touch. Great service, great price, great skill. 5/5 read more

If you're looking for excellence, skill, expertise, and amazing service you have found the place. After searching for a good barber I finally found one even if it took me 30m by car. Elena was great and knew exactly what kind of haircut I need it. She got a customer for life. I will bring my kids to her next time and recommend this barber shop to everyone. I am very happy with a service and a haircut. Great job Elena. read more
