I've been living in Schenectady for the past year now and have been consistently going here. Hands down the best most consistent haircuts I've gotten anywhere. read more

First time at the this barbershop as a walk in. It was on a Saturday morning, approximately 915 or so. I had been looking for a place that could provide a consistently good haircut, no long waits and reasonable hours. Its hard to be flexible with your time. Anyways, I walk in and its empty...just me and the barber. Interaction was quick and to the point, I wasn't really looking for a smile at 9am anyway. I was tired and I am sure she was too, not adding the fact that it was already blistering this damn early on an August summer day. Anyway, I sat in her chair and told her how I do my hair (mid skin fade). Bam, like magic what felt like 5 minutes (probably closer to 25/30) it was over. It was probably the quickest haircut of my life!!! But damn Did I love the efficiency. She asked me if I liked it, I smiled, nodded and responded great. She cashed me out and off I went to continue on with my day. Quick, great cut and reasonable price. Will definitely return here read more

I love going to this place. Always lively with people coming in to say hi etc. Jorge does a great job without taking forever...Always has some good tunes playing, and will adjust the Pandora radio to your liking .I am now a monthly visitor.... read more

Decided to get out of the house today for some ME time. Went searching for a shave & a haircut. Quick Google search turned up Schenectady Barber Shop. Walked in to neighborhood shop that reminded me of Adinolfi's on Beekman Street in Saratoga where I grew up as a kid. This place was larger though but still had that neighborhood feeling as there where kids playing out front with their mothers. Was actually greeted by an 8 year old kid out front that asked me " hey mister, you gettin a haircut?" Inside, I was welcomed by Jorge who sat me right down & was treated to a good old straight razor shave. Jorge commented that it was a good thing to do every now and then and I concur. Jorge carefully shaved my face after applying various lotions & treatments, & hot towels. After the shave I got a touch up haircut. Good Stuff. 5Stars from me, would not hesitate to return and I will. read more

If I say that I drive 25 miles just to get my haircut, then would you believe it? Well, you have to, because I actually do! It takes me about 35 minutes just to go to this place and it is totally worth it. This guy really knows what he is doing. I dont want to say anything more. This should be enough to tell you why this place is GREAT! I really wish that he can extend his weekdays hours little bit longer. I really need a haircut but as I have travels plans every weekend so I have to wait a really long time before I can find a time to get my haircut. read more

I've been taking my son here since we moved to the area. He always leaves with an outstanding cut. They are so patient and pleasant when we come in and do an awesome job with him. Couldn't ask for anything more! read more

Schenectady Barber Shop - Couldn't ask for a better cut. - Barbers Near Me - Schenectady, New York

PROS: The haircuts were extremely well done and the pricing was about 10 - 15 dollars for one. The customer service if great as well. CONS: When there is a waiting line, it is ridiculous because there are only 1-2 barbers ever there. The place is a little messy and the children are rambunctious and twnd to ruin the atmosphere they try to portray. The barbers there seem to be a bit lazy in the way they carry themselves and come off very unprofessional as well. * I switched to Patricks barbershop on union street. Definitely a far better atmosphere and haircut. read more

Jorge is my son's favorite barber!! He explains what he's looking for and together with Jorge they come up with contemporary and interesting styles. Great service, great price... our go-to guy for a haircut. read more

Schenectady Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Schenectady, New York

There is a reason why this place has 5 stars. It is not the most glamorous shop set in not the most glamorous area but once you step in the door you are made to feel very welcome. Jorge gave me a fantastic shave and tidied up my hair as well. He took his time, was careful and left me feeling and looking great. It was the perfect birthday present to myself. He went over and above to make sure I was taken care of. When he found out that I had walked a long way on the snow covered sidewalks to get to the shop he offered me a ride home. (I don't want to get people thinking this is always included in the price of a hair cut, he just happened to have enough time at that point! Thanks for the excellent service. read more

Great and professional barbershop. I didn't know exactly the style I was going for after I let my hair grow for months in COVID, but the barber worked with me to find a style that turned out great. read more

This place is like haircut roulette .... I went once and was thoroughly impressed, and then got absolutely butchered the following two times with "it needed it" and "definitely did the right thing" as justifications toward me not thoroughly enjoying the absolute annihilation of my hairline, the evenness of my hair, and the way I will look for weeks to come. For a similar price, it is worth going somewhere that will make you actually somewhat enjoy how you look. For a place with a sign saying "If we can't make you look good, you're ugly"... there is no fine print in that sign for leaving and actually looking WORSE than when you came in. Like previously stated, it's hit or miss... you may find a good cut, but theres a greater chance of disappointment. disregard the previous reviews marveling at Schenectady Barber's greatness, but rather think of the inconsistency you're paying for... read more

Jorge is great!! Great shop. I've been all over looking for the best place to get a good haircut and this is the spot.

I have to say its been a while since I've had my hair cut professionally... I was worried about finding the right person that I could trust. Jorge is the best!! He has great customer service and is always friendly. The music is great and the atmosphere is fun. His attention to detail is what keeps me coming back...! Oh yea and that awesome two minute head message is my favorite part!! read more

Clean, cuts, hot towel shaves - great personalities - old fashioned barbershop! Stop in see and Jorge - You'll have a few laughs, and leave with an incredible haircut - and if you like a crisp clean shave! read more

Dropped by today without appt. Beyond pleased with my cut. First time, but definitely not last. Great atmosphere. Recommend to all.

Very friendly staff! Haircuts take no longer than 15 min and pricing is pretty good! Will 100% continue to go there for future cuts.

I went to my previous barber for over 30 years. A few months ago, I went here for the first time because my dad used to go here and I told him I would go with him some day. I just kept promising him I would join him but unfortunately he passed away before I made it there. Well, like I said, I finally made it here a little while back and returned today for the second time. The owner is great and again, an outstanding hair cut at a very good price. Neck shave, hot towel, and scalp massage completed a wonderful experience. I plan on passing the word and now that I am 58 myself, God willing, maybe I can give this place 30 years of loyalty as well !! And with a little luck, maybe you'll get to meet 'Elvis'. read more

Jorge is the effin man! Now that it said I can give my review. After moving I needed to find a good barber. I tried 3 places in Scotia and they didn't cut my hair correctly. So I called Jorge and told him what I usually get and he said come in and give me a try, if you don't like it then the cut is free. Well let's just say this, I've been going back to him ever since. He is consisted, which is extremely hard to find in a barber shop, and he knows what he is doing. Thanks again Jorge! You have my business every 2 weeks I will be in! read more

When I moved to upstate NY I couldn't find two things, great pizza and a great barber. Two years ago I found Schenectady Barber shop and can tell you my search has stopped. Jorge is a professional who takes his trade seriously and takes time to listen and give a great cut. Very cool guy. Great atmosphere, great people and great music makes it even better. Sue is a nice addition to the shop and you should give her a chance as well. You can also bring the kids. read more

I recommend anyone who is serious about their cut to try this place out. I tried it out after seeing it's great reviews so I just told Jorge to do his thing, and the result was the perfect haircut. Best barber in New York! read more

Jorge did a great job. I haven't had my hair cut in 10 years! I had a job interview and needed my shoulder length locks cut. I wanted a traditional executive cut that wouldn't require loads of "product" to keep it shaped. Jorge hit the mark. BTW. Very reasonable price for all the work done. Also they offer a senior discount. read more

Came in from out-of-state and am going to be here for a couple weeks so I knew I needed to get a haircut in unfamiliar territory. Away game haircuts can be nerve-wracking. Yelped local places, this had more and better reviews than most so I went for it. Saturday morning, sat basically right away. They were cool. Open, clean space. Young lady did my hair and knew what she was doing. Charged me less than posted price because my hair was short and uncomplicated...very cool. I'm coming back when I need a haircut in the capital region again. read more

Whenever I'd visit back home to visit family in Schenectady, I've had to put up with cheap barbers who cut hair with a 'Meh' attitude and the results would show. Or, the haircuts would be great, but I'd have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it. Finally, Schenectady has a place where you can get an awesome cut AND at a very reasonable price. Plus, you can get a primo shave too if you so desire (and a highly recommend). The Schenectady Barber Shop is quickly making a name for itself at the adept hands of owner/operator, Jorge. The place has great atmosphere and plenty of room. Jorge has given it the perfect mixture: you're going to be treated right; you'll feel comfortable; you're going to get a great haircut/shave; good prices; and decor that fits the owner's laid-back personality. I'm a Schenectady native, but I now live in Portland, Ore., the hipster capital of the U.S. The Schenectady Barber Shop has a coolness factor in a relaxing kind of way, whereas the coolness factor of the hipster barbers in Portland seems forced. I highly recommend you make the Schenectady Barber Shop a must-visit if you need a good cut and/or shave! read more

My husband went here for a cut. The guy did a great job. It reminds me of the old barber shops. They used hot towels and gave a nice clean cut! The guy wanted to know what music he likes so he could change the station. Talk about personalized service! This will be our new place to go!!!! My husband loved it! read more

Jorge is awesome!! I travel a lot for work and love going to the local barbers. Great place, excellent haircut. Will definitely be going back if I am ever in the area again!! read more

Highly recommended. I've been going to Schenectady Barber Shop for almost two years now. Jorge always sets it off, whether you need a scissor cut or a double edge. I used to go to Rumors regularly, but can honestly say Jorge's cuts are better, for a quarter of the price. Just got a scissors-only fade, and you'd think it was done with a razor. Jorge's cuts are always on point, and have been instrumental in nailing job interviews and pretty girls. Be prepared for the top quality trim that follows a cut at Schenectady Barber Shop. read more
