this might be one of the best haircuts I've ever got. Alex is phenomenal. I have to remember a one and a half inch blade for the razor. He tapers it. Does the natural in the back and does a blade shave on the neck. Any trim my eyebrows. And he gave me the perfect amount of product for my hair to hold. read more

Great haircut! Alex is a perfectionist! In my first cut he made sure length was ok, checked constantly, did great. The next time around he was a lot quicker as he knew what I wanted and kept his perfectionist approach and attention to every detail of the cut. Highly recommend. The place is very clean and easy to get an appointment. read more

An expensive haircut but nothing atypical for Manhattan. David cut my hair and it's to this date the best haircut I have ever gotten. Solid shop. read more

Alex is amazing at listening to what I want, which tends to be different each time, and always hitting the vision. It's actually crazy how good he is at getting it right each time. For what you're getting, it's a great value. I've had numerous $60-100 cuts that I don't like as much as what I get here. A+++++ read more

The worst haircut I've gotten. Did exactly the opposite of what I wanted. I will never go back. He spoke about him self the entire time.

When my favorite barber left on maternity leave I had to find someone to fill the void in my life so I thought it would be as good a time as any to try some new highly rated, yet equally priced (under $25), barbers near my home or work to find a worthy backup. This brought me to Prime Barber Shop. The place is very modern, clean, and spacious. Not sure why they had such a large receptionist desk like they were a high end salon where the place was really just your standard men's barber shop. I came here after work one day and the place was empty. There wasn't any TVs or music so between that and the emptiness the vibe felt a little off. There were two middle aged Russian barbers (a man and a woman) and I ended up with the man (I apologize I forgot to get his name). He was very nice and soft-spoken and his haircutting style followed suit. It was extremely gentle, so much so that I wasn't entirely confident he was getting the buzzer or fingers as close to the scalp as possible, it barely felt like I was getting a haircut. Overall I was happy with my haircut. I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had and adding the tax onto the $25 haircut made it slightly more expensive than I normally pay. I'm not sure I'd be back but I did appreciate their buy 5 get 1 free card and their relatively generous hours of operation so a return trip isn't out of the question. read more

Fantastic shop, decided to come in there for a walk in, while being in the area. The barbers there are very friendly and easy going, with a clean, beautiful shop. I have a hard time finding a barber that does a good job, being that there's so many options in NYC, I've had my share of bad haircuts, but not here. Very excited to come back! read more

My boyfriend absolutely loves Constantin! Well he loves his hair cut and I love how he looks!! Sharp, Short and devilish handsome! Literally his favorite barber shop in the city! He showed a photo of what he wants, and Constantin delivered exactly what he is looking for!! You won't regret it. read more

A neighborhood favorite, but also a barber shop worth traveling to. Alex gives the best haircut in NYC -- and the prices are incredibly reasonable (I tip about 40% because I feel it's such a good deal). Been going ever since the place opened. Sometimes I treat myself to a shave and Alex does a great job with that as well. read more

A bit rude. I entered a few mins late and the guy looked at me and loudly reminded me of that even though I apologized for being late. The haircut was avg. I'd avoid this place! read more

This place blew my mind and expectations! I forgot to get a cut before my vacation to NY and stumbled upon this place. The lady cut my hair and it felt so homey. It felt like having your mom cut your hair but in a style you actually want! She took her time and would take breaks to make sure everything looked good and aligned. I'm used to your typical barber shop, so I was hesitant to let her cut my hair and do my fade. I highly recommend you stop by and get a cut! read more

The owner is incredibly nice and gives a great haircut for a great price. I'll definitely will be a new regular customer here!

This shop is fast, affordable, and convenient! I go to freshen up my undercut about every two weeks. The lady barber who works on me is always consistent in giving me a clean and even cut, an makes sure to confirm the look I want before getting started. She's pretty delightful! read more

Work in the area. Great place to get a cut and beard hooked up Alex the owner and barber is awesome. You cant beat the prices here. read more

Good job, just a little to short but over a good experience - would go again if my normal barber is not available.

I am visiting from Washington, D.C. this week and, after having a scheduling snafu with my barber back home, was in need of a haircut. I found Prime right here on Yelp and was impressed by the positive reviews. I visited their website, found it very easy to use, and was able to make an appointment that same evening. I arrived a few minutes before my appointment and was in the barber's chair at the exact time for which I'd scheduled. Alex was extremely nice and did a great job for the price ($25, to me, is a deal for a quality haircut). I would absolutely go back the next time I am in the city and would suggest it to others in need. read more

I live in the neighborhood and Alex has been cutting my hair for the past year. He always does exactly what I request. The shop is immaculate, open 7 days a week and the prices are very reasonable. Friendly and welcoming vibe. No reason to ever consider going anywhere else. read more

Alex is meticulous and no nonsense. He gives a damn good haircut, and the prices are very, very reasonable for the quality.

Best deal in the area. Large, clean shop, Alex is great and I'm very glad to have finally found my new go-to after moving from UWS (shout out to 72nd street Barber, still #1 in my book). Alex takes appointments and is always letting folks know their timings and if they would be better off coming back in an hour etc. - just a great level of courtesy you don't see much anymore. read more

A little gem stashed away on 9th Ave. Elite level haircuts, amazing fades or blends, machine and scissors. Best shave I've had in a long time. read more

Stella is Great. No waiting. Spotless Shop. Takes cards. Tip cash. No need to walk any further.

I live in the neighborhood and this is a great local spot. Alex is thorough and goes above and beyond a standard haircut; he trims my mustache, eyebrows and always does a clean job. Additionally, they open at 8am during the week which is a lifesaver for clean ups during the week when evenings just aren't a possibility. I've been to a few of the other barbers in this area - and countless in the city - and this one really rises above. No loud music, no cheesy barbers, just great cuts and great service. read more

Not only are the haircuts sublime and precise, but the environment is always clean and welcoming. Alex knows how to give a great haircut that's affordable and in a short amount of time. I've never had a problem and will continue being a loyal customer. read more

PLEASE do NOT take your KIDS here. I'm not a huge fan of paying $50 for my children to have a trim so I normally use barbers. My 4yr old son has always been amazing and never moves during haircuts. In 4 years we've never had a problem. We used to come here before it was taken over by the current owners so decided to give them a go. Long story short: the barber CUT my son's ear with the ELECTRIC RAZOR! BLOOD was pouring out and wouldn't stop. The barber and owner didn't even tell me (I also have a 2 year old so was following her around and for a minute wasn't standing near my son). I noticed the barber and owner acting odd and talking quietly in Russian and looking my way so I went over and saw they'd cut my son's ear. There was a ridiculous amount of blood. I cannot believe they didn't tell me what had happened-Strike #1. Then I ask the owner for the barber's name. He tells me that barber has only been working there 2 days and he doesn't know his name. WHY the hell would you let him cut a child's hair if you don't know if he's good with children. Strike #2. Then he asked me not to write a bad review about his barbershop. Really? How about you be a little more concerned about who you hire and making sure you don't injure children instead of worrying about the review I give you. DISGUSTING. My son needed STITCHES because of your incompetence. read more

Alex is a true expert and I was quite pleased with both my beard trim as well as the corrections he made on my hair after a disaster at another local barber shop in Chelsea. I will definitely go back read more

I was so happy when I found Alex and his right hand Gal Stella in their new location, Alex has cut my hair for the last 14 years so after a 6 month absence while Alex found and built out his new shop I was happy to be back in his chair. Alex is an old school professional and meticulous barber who spends as much time as necessary to make every haircut perfect and make sure his customers are happy with the final result. If you are looking for a great barber and a pleasant and inviting atmosphere this is the Barber Shop for you. Best of luck in the new place,the neighborhood is lucky to have you. read more
