I asked Alex for a textured crop fade and he did an amazing job! I'm super happy with it! I have been going to his shop for many years and he has never failed to exceed my expectations. He is very articulate with scissors, a skill that seems like a lost art with many other barbers who tend to rely on machines. Thank you Alex for a great haircut always! read more

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

If you want to look like a middle eastern dad get a haircut here. Didn't listen to any instructions, absolute waste of money.

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

Bad and expensive haircut. Ruined hair I had been growing for months. Will need to go to another barbershop to fix this mess. I did not get Alex, which all the reviews mention. I got a lady. 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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I rarely write reviews but I've been coming here for 3 years. Alex can cut my Asian hair well which not a lot of barbers can do! Takes his craft seriously and ever rush through it 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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great spot. Always kind, clean, nice people. I've always had a great experience here. The woman that cuts my hair is awesome. She really knows what I like and takes her time to get it right. Thanks Prime!!! 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
