Great experience. Came in on a Sunday during the Workd Cup without a reservation and got to see someone without a wait. Was in town for business and you never want to roll the dice too much when it comes to an out of town haircut. Joey was the man, got my hair and beard locked in. Speed and service you'd expect in New York. read more

I arrived for a work trip in NYC looking quite scraggly and disheveled after coming off other travels. My buddy recommended this place for both a haircut and a straight razor shave (of course forget to pack my trimmer). I was able to go here for a same day appointment with Joe. Haircut looked great and Joe was very friendly chatting a bit and just overall being a good guy. The razor shave.......wow, I probably won't be doing it again as I don't really like people having to continuously touch my face BUT I will say it was a really cool experience and I highly recommend it. Joe's obviously a master barber so I was in good hands and he did a great job. Will def being going back for a cut next time I'm in NYC. read more

Worst haircut of my life. Totally half assed and botched. In and out under 15 mins. Not blended/faded at all. Awful.

Joseph is amazing! Detail oriented, polite, professional and has a wonderful grasp of his craft. I would definitely recommend going to this location. The ambiance of shop is not fluffed up luxury but it definitively gets to the point "get it done with deft of hand, executes the most precise and cleanest cuts. Prices are great and customer service is amaze. Thank you Joseph for the most amazing fade!!!! Xoxo read more

Best barber in NYC. I've never got a bad cut here and the owner is absolute the best. Love the olds chill barber vibe and hole in the wall feel a good barber should have. read more

Bright, wood paneled, hip... all the vibes. Barber was excellent and friendly. Will be back.

If you're in the area and need a haircut, go see Joe. Online booking was easy. Neat barbershop and was in and out in 30 minutes. Highly recommend. read more

The guys at Next Level take it to the next level! Great neighborhood barbershop. Joe is an artist. First time I walked in he asked what I wanted. I've had a dozen barbers ask what I want then give me some hipster cut they give everyone. Joe asked what I wanted then clarified the entire time to ensure he gave me what I wanted. A great great cut!!! Super reasonably priced! Whiskey shots are a plus! read more

I arrived near 6, and the barbers were still very accommodating considering it was almost 7 when they cut my hair. The perks of coming here; -free beers! -they do the neck shave -they do the hot towel at the end -They accept credit cards (fee is about $1-2 I think) And happy with the haircut! read more

Get to the Chase: Pros: 1) $28 for a decent cut (thought it would be more around $22 based on reviews but not bad) 2) Nice guys who are very talkative and friendly 3) Shots of cuervo, vodka or some beer complimentary 4) Movie playing in the waiting area, as well as a monitor at each barber seat 5) Very quick maybe 15 minute cut 6) Checked with me each step of the way to make sure the cut was how I liked it Cons: 1) Maybe it's only me, but the only flub was the warm wet towel on the neck and face. Felt good and was scented with like eucalyptus, however it also had this rank old mildew water smell (think of locker room or stale water)...could do without read more

See all

I took my son for a haircut here . Easy to find, and top notch service. The guys here ask questions and want you to have a good experience. I was visiting from North Carolina and the guys made my family feel at home . Small waiting area but a nice flat screen you can watch movies on while you wait . read more

In town visiting from LA. Tried it because of the ratings and didn't disappoint. This is a tight group of barbers and they know what they're doing. Decided to go treat myself with the haircut and hot towel shave. First hot towel shave for me. Very detailed in both. Reasonably priced $54 for both together at the time of this review. I'd come back again when I'm in town again. read more

I came in around 4:30PM without an appointment and the shop was empty except for one barber who I assume is the owner of the shop as he is on the cover photo for the business. I asked him if he would take a walk in right now and he said yes. I asked him if he had any experience with cutting Asian male hair because Asian hair is notoriously course and straight. I've gotten bad haircuts from barbers with inexperience with Asian hair, so I wanted to be sure. The barber answered yes, but with a shrugged expression so I replied, "Are you sure, because - ". Before I could explain that I had whorl in a weird spot and that I had irregularly thick hair, he snapped "if you don't trust me, you can get the f out of my shop and go to another barber". I replied "are you serious? I just asked you a question because -". And again before I could explain my hair situation, he says "I don't want to cut your hair, I have appointments, get the f out of my shop" (the shop was completely empty and he had already said he is taking walk-ins at that moment). I reply "okay, I'm going to leave a review of my experience here". The barber immediately snaps "why? You p*ssy!" and then proceeds to aggressively get in my face with more vulgar language. I snap back at him in kind, and we go back and forth a bit. He tells me to call the cops, but that wasn't worth my time so I leave. I can't speak to his hair cutting abilities as I didn't get a haircut from him, but as a business owner he is the worst I have encountered. Very despicable human being. I hope he responds to this review as I would like to see him try and defend his actions. AVOID THIS BARBERSHOP!!! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! read more

I was roaming around Chinatown and Little Italy, taking a shit ton of photos like a good asian tourist. I saw this spot and thought "Damn! I look like a mop, let's get a haircut here!" BEST DECISION EVER. This barber guy gave me the best haircut I had ever had, while putting on a movie with both Leonardo DiCaprio AND Matt Damon in it. Thank you Barber guy for the fresh to death haircut. I felt 10 years younger! read more

In the past 3 years I get my haircut regularly with Joe! He is by far the best barber I've seen (and I have been around!) Sadly I left part time to Florida but still, everytime I'm back on the city I get my haircut only at 1 place! Thanks Joe! See you soon!!! read more

Walking distance from my hotel. Had movies playing in the waiting area and at the chair I was at. Guys there were very chill and talkative. Always nerve recking to go to a new spot for a cut but Ariel is that guy. Took his time and gave me a really great fade. Too bad I'm from Boston and won't be back for a while but I def recommend this place. read more

Nice guys who cut well quickly. A basic cut was $26. I went in the late morning on a Monday and was the only one there, so I went right to chair. But to be honest, I get the same quality cut from Premium Barbershops for around $20. So this was a one-time experience and I'll be going back to Premium, which also has a frequent cut card where after 10 cuts you get a free cut. read more

Nobody better than Joe. Great barber and always good conversations. Book appts online, super easy and efficient. Always in and out of there in about 20 minutes and never unsatisfied. Highly recommend and won't break the bank. read more

I never write reviews, but I had to given how disappointed and confused I was with my experience. I walked in without an appointment around 12:45 hoping to get a high fade w/ a trim on top and a beard trim. Both barbers were busy with customers, but there was no one else in line, so I only had a short wait until got in a chair w/ Joe. Fast forward to about half way into my haircut, everything was going fine until two customers came in who I'm assuming both had appointments because of what happened next. Once he finished the haircut he grabbed the mirror and began to show me the final product at which point I asked if he could trim my beard. Joe said "I can't, I have customers w/ appointments waiting", to which I replied "so you can't trim my beard?" I was so confused, I'm already in his chair and a beard trim would be another 10 minutes max. Joe said no he "didn't have time" because he has to "make money". Joe, my haircut isn't free and a beard trim would be been another $20 for you, what are you talking about? I didn't want to argue with him about it, but was pretty ticked off at that point and he could tell. He then offered to trim my beard after the next customer in "10 minutes", which was just a comical thing to say. I declined and left. Given the reviews, I'm sure this place is great 9/10, which is what I was hoping for when I decided to go. I absolutely understand customers w/ appointments take precedent, but if you take walk-ins then every customer should be treated the same once they're in your chair. If that's not the case, then let me know and I'll go somewhere else, so I don't get half a haircut. read more

Great cut. Daniel gave me exactly what I wanted. Was super easy to make an appointment as well. Would definitely come back!

I've enjoyed going into this barber shop. The haircuts have been on point with either what I've asked for or well placed suggestions to get the style I'm looking for. It's a comfortable friendly space that even with my general anxiety has made me feel safe and welcome. They even offered me some whiskey when I was in for a haircut! It feels neighborhoody even though it's near noho/nolita. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a well priced haircut and a comfy atmosphere. read more

Just moved to NYC and was looking for a great, affordable place to get my hair cut. I definitely found that in Next Level! At every level, they exude friendliness and professionalism. Joe cut my hair and made me feel not only very welcome, but listened to what I wanted and worked quickly and efficiently. They are all super friendly guys and even offered me complimentary liquor and beer. To top it all off, I ended up with a great haircut (I really loved that they included a straight razor neck shave) for a very affordable price- $26 + tip. Would recommend them whole heartedly and can't wait til it's time for my next haircut there! read more

Honestly, this would be the place that i will definitely come back again. Great location, great people, great atmosphere with a decent price. One of the place that i felt comfortable with personally. Thumbs up! read more

They did a good job. Very professional and thorough. The hot towel at the end was cool.

I use to always get a haircut from the Asian hair salon downstairs of my home but they recently closed down. I was checking out some in the area when I came across this shop. I had always passed by it on the way to the gym but never really checked it out. I went in today to get a cut. Two people were already getting cuts so I waited about 10 min before one finished and it was my turn. The person who cut my hair, Joe, is fantastic! Friendly guy, greeted me as soon as I walked in. I told him I typically get a comb over cut. In the past, I felt like even though I got the same cut from my previous barber, Joe's just seem better. More clean. The cut was around 15-17 minutes. There were TV's in front of the mirrors in case you didn't want to just watch him cut your hair. This will be my new shop to get my cuts from now. Great pricing and great people! read more

In town for a wedding and didn't have a chance to get a cut before the trip so found this shop near where I was staying for a cleanup. Awesome experience. Friendly and skilled barber gave me an efficient (maybe 20 minutes) and high-quality cut. Checked on me throughout to ensure I liked the work (I did) and all while watching an episode of Peaky Blinders and enjoying a shot of Jamo. Next time in NYC I will plan my haircut schedule accordingly... read more

Got turned down for no reason. The guy in the first chair didn't want to give my friend a haircut. Also very racist. Will turn down certain people if they don't want to cut your hair. Absolutely will never return. Be careful! read more

Best haircut you're going to find. The owner knows hair and listens to you when you're in the chair. Smoothie and simple process! Highly recommend! read more

Walked in and got a cut right away! Joe is an amazing person, extremely chill and down to earth. Third time I went back, Ariel hooked it up with a fresh clean cut, super funny dude too! Awesome fellas in there, one of my favorite spots nearby soho. I always come during my lunch breaks and it's amazing how they do a hot towel in the end so all that tiny hair doesn't fly all over when I get back to work. Highly recommend to stop by and get a fresh cut! Thanks a lot fellas! read more

I gotta say, Next Level totally exceeded my expectations. I'm one of those types who's been paying for $80 haircuts without batting a lash. I suppose it's the "you get what you pay for" mentality of paying more for something of quality. Especially something as important as your appearance. But in between meetings and unsure of when I'd be able to see my usual stylist before the holidays, I took a chance on Next Level. I'm very glad I did. Ariel was the barber who took the reigns. I told him what I wanted, and in breakneck speed he was off to the races. At this point I was fully committed no matter the outcome. Lucky for me it was as good, if not better, than the haircuts I usually pay 200% more cash for. And that figure isn't an embellishment, Next Level cuts are just $22. After this experience, I may have to reevaluate what a great haircut should actually cost. read more

Amazing barber shop that fixed the errors made by another shop I reviewed on here (Ace of Cuts). They did an excellent job of listening to me, and they delivered nearly exactly what I hoped they would. Great service and nice use of scissors and razors. My new place. read more

Honestly, I've been to many barbers around NYC and Brooklyn and these guys, especially Ariel seems to be the only one that can cut my hair correctly. Great cuts for a great price read more

I've been cutting my own hair for the last 20 years so I was very hesitant to trust some random barbershop while traveling, however I'm in town on business and short on time so I took a gamble and stopped in. Really glad I did. I walked in, met Joe and he had me in and out in 15 min with the best haircut I've probably ever had. They even did the hot towel and straight razor trim. I think he might be a ninja. They're professional, courteous and do a hell of a job in no time flat. Really a great experience! Forgot to mention it was $22. Can't beat that anywhere. Stop in and check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Next Level Barber Shop NY: Manhattan: Little Italy 3pm Wednesday 13th August 2014 Five Stars I walked in and the place was empty except for a single barber eating his lunch. The service was friendly. Although there was a bit of language barrier, I got exactly what I wanted. After a methodically session with the buzzer and clippers, he used warm shaving cream and a straight razor to touch up around the ears and the back. Then he rubbed down my head with a warm towel. A little gel and style and I was out of the door with a $22 haircut. read more

Writing this review as I'm bummed out that they don't open on Saturdays... Other than that, this is the best place to go to at this price range. I've been going here for over about a year and Joe has been great at what he does and does so consistently. Definitely one of the best places I've been to and I refer my friends to them without hesitation. The tv in front of you while you're getting a cut is a plus. And they have good taste in movies. Also been to barbers blueprint up the block, but this place is just so much more chill and gets it right everytime. read more

Wouldn't come again. Wanted to just trim my current hair cut but he just changed it... Very poor He was friendly though read more

Really fast. Really good. Alcohol. Perfect location(next to a ton of incredible coffee shops). Online reservations! I want to buy this place and put one on every corner. Perfect for someone who wants quality on the run. read more

Walked in and got a great haircut for a good price! I recommend coming here if you're in lower Manhattan. Good conversation with the barber and also had a movie in front of my seat, 5/5 service. read more

Best barber in Soho. Walked in on a whim one day, and I haven't gone anywhere else since. Joe really listens to you and works to give you the perfect cut, with great attention to detail, and a high level of service I wasn't used to outside of more expensive salons. I work in an office where people routinely get $150-200 haircuts, and I get just as many compliments. Note: Not sure why Yelp has 4 $$$$'s on this business, when a haircut w/ tip is only $25? read more

Amazing place and being from California great service and hands down the best cut and shave in town. They hook it up! read more
