I have been going to Sigfrido's with Ruben as my barber for over 15 years. Even when I lived in Harlem, I would make the trek to the Sty town area just to make sure I was getting a perfect haircut. Sigfrido's is clean, inexpensive, and the highest quality barber in the city. I recommend Sigfrido's to anyone looking for the old NYC charm and quality you expect! read more

Went there based on the reviews. That turned out to be a mistake. The haircut was rushed and sloppy. I was in the chair for maybe 6 minutes total and came out looking a mess. Would not recommend. read more

Reuben is a master of his craft. Not to mention a great man. I always know I'm in good hands in his chair

Rueben has been cutting my hair since I moved to the area 2 years ago. He's affordable and fantastic! I went to 3 or 4 barbers and salons trying some out before I walked into Sigfridos. Then I stopped looking. He's that good! read more

Sigfrido's Barber Shops - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

Been going here for close to 20 years and Ruben has been cutting both my boy's hair since they were babies.

Have been coming to Rueben at Sigfridos barber shop for many years now and he never fails to impress me with his skills. Not only is his service top notch, it's hard to beat his prices! Clean and friendly environment, I highly recommend. read more

The best in New York City! Friendly, fast and always give the best haircuts at a good price

Great place for a great haircut. Been around a long time. Even has the ol' rotating spiral barber sign outside! Ruben is the man. Gives the back of your neck a nice hot-lather shave too. read more

Ruben is a great guy and I'm a huge fan of the place. Really good fades! Been seeing him for years well past my time at Peter Cooper when I began seeing him. Authentic guy, always cheerful and happy :) The cut also includes a hot neck shave for free. Can't beat it. read more

Sigfrido's is fantastic, and Ruben is the man! Very cool old-school New York classic kind of place. Ruben always makes sure I'm satisfied with the haircut, works quickly, and prices are very reasonable. Been coming here for 5 years and can't imagine going anywhere else. Convenient if you're near NYU Langone Hospital, StuyTown, NYU dental school, Manhattan VA, Bellevue, Mt. Sinai Beth Israel, etc. read more

A staple for the gentlemen of Peter Cooper Village (I've never seen a lady getting her hair done here) for more than 60 years. Current operators have been doing a great job for the past 18 years. Always friendly and courteous as well as fast and efficient. Can't go wrong for the price of this song. Musical atmosphere provided 50% Sinatra + 50% lite fm = 100% just right. Otherwise the decor is both a 10 and a 2 at the same time. I give it a 10 for being a 2, if it were fancy decor the price and attitude would both be much higher. New smocks and covers though as well as proper Covid precautions (see photo) Sadly Covid has dampened the jovial conviviality once delivered in this bustling hub of activity on a Saturday. I feel worst for Ruben who is basically there by himself most of the time now. A cut is now about $7 more than before Covid but still the best value for the money at $25. I've had plenty of fancy haircuts for more than 2x-4x the price but the first time I went there, when I returned my lady said: wow that's the best haircut you've had since I've known you (which was more than 6 years at the time). read more

Sigfrido's Barber Shops - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

Pretty much one of the great institutions of New York - Sigfrido's is the best barbershop in Manhattan, if not New York. Ask for Ruben, who has been there for nearly 20 years, can't go wrong. read more

Great neighborhood barbershop where the barbers know your name and give great haircuts quickly and are inexpensive! A true neighborhood gem!

You gotta come see Ruben. I tend to change my hairstyle often and the most recent being a skin fade. Not many can provide the quality and take the time Ruben takes. He's also a local legend! Much love Ruben, thank you. read more

Ruben us the best there is always there and consistent! Great music going in there at all times.

I've been coming here since I moved to NYC in 2008. The quality is consistently good and even when there's a queue, you're never going to be waiting too long for your turn. I highly recommend this shop and I also recommend the occasional splurge on a straight razor shave. read more

Fantastic barbershop for locals! Reuben is a great barber with interesting stories and a great sense of humor, not to mention he cuts hair really well. Stop by for haircut or just to chat and say hi read more

Literally have gone here for 30+ years. Had my hair cut by Sigfrido, Bruno, Andy and now of course, the amazing Ruben. Nail it - EVERY TIME. Classic atmosphere. A neighborhood staple. Still great prices. Would never go anywhere else for a haircut, or hot shave. THE BEST. read more

Highly recommend Ruben at Sigfrido's to anyone looking for a quality and affordable haircut. Ruben is great and always delivers with the best haircut possible. read more

I love this old school barber shop with very skilled barbers. Ruben has been cutting my hair for years and makes me look great every time. All the barbers here are skilled at their craft. They also play relaxing old school music which adds to the overall experience. Highly recommend! read more

I started going to this place about 6 months ago, and have been very pleased with the haircuts that I've gotten. Ruben is the barber that I've had, and he's been nothing short of excellent. Besides giving me good haircuts, I also find him to be very personable and friendly. The place is very clean, and there's usually not much of a wait when I get there. The prices are also reasonable compared to some other places around the neighborhood that I've tried but aren't as good as this. read more

Rubens great, first barber I actually like going to. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for one.

I've been going to Sigfrido's on and off since the 90's, more since I moved back to New York. I live on Long Island now and drive in about every three weeks just for a good old-fashioned no nonsense hair cut. I used to go to Bruno, now I go to Reuben, they both got it right all the time. Entertaining characters in the place, like Jackie; the banter between the barbers; the smell and sting of witch hazel splashed on a cleanly shaved neck; oodles of magazines (some even current); all the pictures and patches of police, firefighters and uniformed workers on the wall; and if you're lucky, Sinatra coming out of the Andy's Bose radio--all these things and more really make this place New York landmark. PS - guys, the hair cut cost $13. If you give them a twenty, let them keep the $7 change for goodness sake. A beer in a bar cost more than that, and wouldn't you buy one of these guys a beer if you saw them in a bar? So enough with the $2-$3 tips, the price of cut from the 90's was only $9 now it's $13-they've got to make a living somehow and keep this place going . . . Long live Sigfrido's! read more

Been coming here for almost 4 years now, great barbers, fast service. Used to live next door but now even living in a different part of the city I still make the trip, worth it every time. Easily a 5 star barber shop. read more

The best barber in NYC. When you go in make sure Ruben cuts your hair. Ruben listens to what you want and executes it to perfection. The shop is very clean and the atmosphere is wonderful. I cannot recommend this place enough. The price is also very reasonable and you will not leave disappointed! read more

Ruben's a great barber and a true professional - I've been going to him for several years and he never disappoints!

Terrible, terrible, terrible!! Been here a few times to give them a chance and they fail every time. None of them can pay attention to giving a hair cut. They are all talking to each other in Russian and distracted by the smallest thing. Maybe if they stoped talking to each other and put their energy into cutting hair they might be ok, but probably not read more

I've been a customer for 40 years. It's still the same excellent, reasonably priced barber shop it was back when brothers Siggy, Bruno, and Andy owned it. Reuben has maintained the high standards of his predecessors. My son, now in his mid-20s, got his first haircut here and is still a customer. We don't even live in the neighborhood anymore, but we come here. I don't think you could find a better barbershop. read more
