Just a note that last time I stopped by around the last week of August there was another barber working with Alex, a younger guy who had been waiting for a customer who had supposed scheduled an appointment with him (probably a friend of his) and while he waited he didn't want to cut the hair of a customer that walked by. But Alex offered to cut the gentleman's hair which was a nice attitude.

In this case, I knew I was giving Well Kept the full five before I was out of the chair. From the second you walk in, you get a perfect (and very difficult to find) balance of barbershop and salon. The place is energized yet relaxed and welcoming. Each station is clean and organized to the extent that their tools of the trade are displayed - not stored - to let you know you are about to sit in the chair of a craftsmen. The banter between the guys is true barbershop style but always respectful (it seemed with purposeful consideration to the client's ear and Well Kept being a place of business, opposed to the typical barbershop where you might be the one paying, but there is no mind given to what is said in your presence). And it is that banter that lets you know this isn't a shop where guys are just renting out chairs. They're a team with Ruben at the head, all focused on customer satisfaction and the success of the business, with great pride in the work they do. So no surprise that every customer - male and female - I saw during my 1.5-hrs there walked out beaming. I usually give my recommendation to try out a place, especially when it comes to helping keep local small businesses running. When it comes to Well Kept, I'm asking you to please give Ruben and his team of highly talented artists your patronage. You will be in the best of hands and come out looking + feeling your absolute best.

This is what I've always looked for in a barber shop, and was happy to find just that kind of place right here in Astoria, a block away from my home. I've described the place to my partner, and he said it reminds him of his childhood memories. He said he'd go there if he had any hair to cut.

Check the cheat sheet of cuts and prices (on the wall or in the photos)- when it's clear what you want, it's what you get! I wanted a typical conservative cut (the sides short and top parted), but without the electric razor, which is a scissor cut- no problem, and the prices are on par, so no issues. While cutting he confirmed that yeah the top would have to get just a little bit off (hey I accept the fact there is less up there than there was 10 years ago), but he managed to put a bit of an updated style in, which I can easily get into form each day.

My long-term barber…read moreretired, and the one with whom I begrudgingly replaced him had left his shop and moved to a very expensive one. $65/haircut? Wasn't happening. Not satisfied with any of the local shops that I'd tried, my hair just kept getting longer and longer (and not in a beautiful, Fabio's golden locks kind of way, but more a troll-like "who's that trip-trapping across my bridge" kind of way) as I dragged my feet in deciding who to try next. I found myself passing by AA on my way home today and, disgusted with my hair and new-barber-decision inertia, decided to see if it didn't have terrible reviews. Hair does grow back after all. I was pleasantly surprised by the very positive reviews, and the few negative ones tended to be about very specific complaints. So I rolled the dice and walked in. Place was empty, Alex was at the ready. I apologized for the bad state of affairs that was my hair. He smiled slightly. The reviews that state this is not a bubbly, sunshiney, unicorns and rainbows kind of place are not inaccurate, but a) I don't need that, and b) Alex was totally pleasant enough. I showed Alex my picture of "the best haircut I've ever gotten," and asked if we could get my head close to that as it truly was the best haircut I'd ever gotten, so much so that I'd taken a picture to keep, so that I could show future stylists what I considered the best hairc... well, you get it. He looked for longer than I'd expected. 7 seconds? 10? Pretty long, right? And then he proceeded to completely nail it. Completely. He matched the Best Haircut I'd Ever Gotten™ --first try. Excellent attention to detail. That little area by the cowlick towards the back of my head that presents a stumbling block to lesser barbers and always requires further instruction and tweaking... nailed it. It's what prompted me to write a glowing review as soon as I got home. So there it is. One person's opinion on the quality of their AA Barber experience. TL;DR: Excellent excellent work by Alex. Go for the cut, not the atmosphere or sparking conversation.
