I have been going here since the age of 18 and I'm 32 now amazing barber pays attention to details and is amazing at his work.

Just popped into this barbershop yesterday - most likely have just found my new barber. This place has definitely had to adapt to COVID much like a lot of other businesses in NYC (or anywhere). Somehow, however, Jose (the owner) has managed to make the new set-up feel like a regular, relaxing barbershop with the old school feel, while also making it much safer than other haircut places around here. For example: a couple months back, I went to a (decent) place in Sunnyside for a badly-needed haircut; they made do however they could (plastic dividers, masks, etc.), but they still had like 10-20 people in a relatively small indoor at the same time. Sitting still for 30 - 45 minutes with complete strangers and little to no ventilation isn't something I'd like to do unless I HAVE to these days. The Woodside Barbershop on the other hand has managed to avoid all of that, by setting up appointments (which you can easily book in advance) so you come in for YOUR 30-minute haircut. Just you and Jose, who takes real good care of your hair and is engaging/fun to chat with into the bargain. Will definitely be coming back here soon. read more

Woodside Barbershop - Always feel fresh when I come out of Woodside Barbershop (KNA AtThe Buzzer). - Barbers Near Me - Woodside, New York

Jose gives a consistently great haircut. Hassle-free every time. His shop allows for more privacy and I enjoy my visit every time.

What makes a difference between the hundreds of haircutting establishments throughout the city? Well, here is why I believe "At the Buzzer" stands out. Nine times out of ten you walk into a conversation between everyone in the shop--it could be about sports, the economy, music, etc. When or if when you add in your own feedback you never feel out of place or unwelcomed, which the staff makes sure of that. There's this family vibe about the place. The barbers really take to parents and their children. I've seen numerous mothers/fathers bring in their troop to get haircuts--that could very well be because of the environment provided by the staff. I've brought my teenage sons in for their cuts and they now just go on their own. Normally the shop maintains two barbers on any given day. They don't do or take appointments, they don't pick and choose their patrons and they don't rush you out the door; which I greatly appreciate. In fact, they take their time to cut your hair and they never seem to have a problem touching up according to the desires of the customer. The décor is simple and to the point; nothing much to the place. If I had a complaint, it would be the long wooden bench that you'd sit, waiting your turn for a cut and its pretty uncomfortable. They have TV's located in each corner of the shop and the owner has no problem putting anything on for the patron. What motivated me to write a review about the buzzer? The simple fact that this shop has a modern feel to an old school barbershop tradition; I hope that it remains that way. read more

I've been going to see Jose for haircuts for a few years now. Always so professional and I get treated really well. Most of all he knows how to make me look good! Trust read more

Thanks Jose for a great beard trim! A lot of care taken to get my beard just as I like it. Great atmosphere, price & great to walk in! read more

I've been getting my haircut from Jose since before at the buzzer was even around. Jose has always been a complete professional and takes the time and attention to detail with all my haircuts. I always get compliments and get asked where I get my haircuts from and am always proud to say " at the buzzer". Prices are more than fair for the quality of cut that you get and the place is always clean and sanitary. I always leave the shop looking fresh and confident read more

Rude owner, doesn't understand how to take an appointment, nor does he have common courtesy. This place is down the block from me. I've gotten a haircut here a few times and a few months back called the owner (Jose?), asked him how many he had (he said no one), gave him my name and told him I would be there in five minutes to get a haircut. Five minutes later I show up and he tells me that he now has two people ahead of me! I calmly explained to him that I JUST called him five minutes ago saying that I would be right over. He simply says "sorry I got two heads now." I understand him taking the first person, but two people especially after I show up within 5 minutes of talking to him. I was very annoyed and immediately let him know that he lost my business. read more

It's been a while since I've found a barbershop I like... and I've tried a few in Sunnyside and had little luck. I walked past "At the Buzzer" one day while in Woodside and thought the place looked nice (the antique barber chairs stand out) and decided to return during business hours. Jose (the owner) cut my hair. No fuss... simple cut, neat and clean. He's a really friendly guy (and is adept at the right amount of conversation... that sounds weird, but I feel like sometimes a barber talks your ear off... and other times a barber will say almost nothing while cutting your hair... ). I'll return to "At the Buzzer" and recommend it to anyone in Sunnyside/Woodside looking for a good haircut. read more

Excellent barbershop to get a cut. No matter what cut you are looking for, tape-up, shape up etc I recommend coming here. Faithful customer for some time and I always come out looking and feeling good. Appointment or walkins accepted. Great neighborhood shop! read more

Since I saw this spot had a couple of good reviews - I decided to try it out. The shop itself is pretty spacious - I went during the day so there was only 1 barber, but there are 4 chairs. The barber - Jose, who also happens to the owner was cool, and very friendly - he seemed to know everyone of the customers that came in. He did a good job on the cut - I prefer when the barber takes more time on the fade but it still turned out decent. I decided to also get a shave which he did a really good job - giving me a really close shave. FYI - The phone number listed is old. read more

One word: AWESOME! I have been searching for a barbershop that can cut Asian hair (thick, poofy and sometimes voluminous) the way I want it. I've been to "the Barbershop" in Forest Hills and "On the Mark" in Manhattan, which are both well reviewed on Yelp but this place blows them out of the water! The Cut: I got a taper on the side and back with a combover/pompadour on the top, and it looks banging! . The prices: $15 haircut Extra for a shave The service: I got my haircut by Jose, the owner, who was highly professional, attentive, and amazing with the razor and scissors. He reassured me that he's cut Asian hair for years and even gave me styling tips at the end. He works with Carlos, who was very professional as well. I sneezed a couple of times (allergy season) and he said "bless you" multiple times, which is rare in NY lol. His other customers seemed to like their haircuts as well. The wait: They're busier thurs-sat especially in the late-afternoon and evenings so wait is around 30-45mins. I expect it to be much shorter otherwise. In the meantime, they have the news or sports especially baseball playing on two TVs. Overall: I haven't received such a nice haircut and service in a long time. Best of all, they are pros at cutting Asian hair!!! Yaaasss! read more

This barbershop is first in class, reliable and warm to new clients. I believe there are four barbers and all four have excellent craftsmanship. They have rebranded as Woodside Barbershop. Highly recommended for people of all ages. I travel from Midtown Manhattan to get a haircut (Yes! They're that good.) read more

Coming from Toronto Ontario CAD, there is no other barber I go to in NYC. Jose is a straight up no nonsense master of his craft. Keep up the good work man!!! See you again when I come back!!! read more

Woodside Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Woodside, New York

I have been looking for a barber in queens since I moved here not too long ago and I have finally, painstakingly found my barbershop. Carlos was my barber and he did exactly what I wanted and better. My fade was nice and he kept my front hair longer than the back. Simply, I looked unusually better than normal. My girlfriend agrees!! She almost never does.. anywho.. Also this place is very clean and had sports on TV too!! read more

Coming from Toronto ON Canada, Jose never disappoints. Best barber in Woodside Queens.

Been coming here for years. Tell Jose I sent you. They do great work here all the time. Making an appointment ahead of time ensures you don't wait long. read more

Woodside Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Woodside, New York

This place is a good spot to stop by to get fresh clean haircut from Queens.Good friendly dope barbers.

For the price I doubt you'll find a better barber. I always get my hair cut by Juan and he's great.

Jose is the best barber I've found in NYC since I moved back from California. Drive 25min out of my way just to get here. Top of the line fades and a good cut too! Whole shop good hearted people friendly environment read more

Hose is a professional barber. Hygienic and superb clipper and razor blade control. Felt like a VIP.

This is the only Barber shop my son will go to. Always friendly, smiling faces. Does a great job every time.

Just got my first cut at Woodside Barbershop by Jose. This is great NYC barber shop. Great haircut, good conversation, professional and courteous. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended. read more

The guys here are cool, but every God damn time I'm here I get cut in line my some random dude they're cool with. They claim that they only do walk ins but when someone that they know pulls up. They take care of them first before people that have been waiting for an hour. It's upsetting that they are so disrespectful to their unfamiliar customers. read more

Jose is reliable and takes his time to do the job right. I've been going to Jose for several years now, and when he goes on vacation - I'd rather just grow my hair out than let someone else cut it. Fair price, great service. read more

Don't listen to the naysayers. For starters, THERE IS NO APPOINTMENT SYSTEM. It's a BARBER SHOP for crying out loud!!! Making others in store wait for those who may be delayed or simply decide to not show up at all. Businesses like these are on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS. If that is your only gripe, then you have to be pretty full of yourself. You're a customer, no different than anyone one else so have some respect and wait your turn. This place isn't about speedy, quick, cheap cuts. This place is all about quality first. Now that we got that out of the way, let me share with you all about my experience here. Having moved to Woodside, Queens early 2010, I knew nothing about the neighborhood and what was hot in my neighborhood. For the longest time, I was going to Wenzhou Hair Salon because I didn't know any better. In 2011, I was hired at my uncle's office as a Clerk/assistant in Accounting. One day, on the job, a fellow co-worker asked me where I get my haircut. I told him that I go to Wenzhou Hair Salon and it's run by Chinese people. He told me that if I truly wanted a quality haircut, that I should go to a Latino barber. Eventually, once my hair grew back, I began my search. I walked around my neighborhood until I found someone that met the description and who could fulfill my needs. That is when I came across "At The Buzzer" and was acquainted with Jose. I could tell from the way Jose was taking his time cutting his clients' hair that he was very attentive to detail and invested in giving the clients exactly what they want. The last GOOD barber I had was in Manhattan, also Latino by the name of "Delta" who used to work at Rami's Barber Shop near Kips Bay/Gramercy, so I knew this was gonna be good. Sure enough, my hunch was right. From the first haircut onwards, I felt confident and pleased. That is when I decided that Jose would be my new barber. Every time I get a cut from him, I feel revitalized because he makes me look good in ways not many others can. He really cares about getting the job done right and has no time to waste. So on a final note, please don't waste his time with your whining. If your want your haircut early, GET THERE EARLY!!! Put yourself in others' shoes. If YOU were in the shop and you were stopped from getting in the seat because someone who may or may not show up has booked first, you guys would be whining anyway. Jose isn't rude, just honest and real. It may feel like a pain to wait for others, but good things come to those who wait. Good things take time. Go there, you won't regret it. You'll come out looking fresh every time. It's not speedy, but it's well worth the investment. read more

Jose's a great barber. He's always busy but he makes time for walk-ins. Best to come in on Mondays and Tuesday. The weekends get very busy.

First of all let me say that I was surprised to see that the Buzzer had 2 reviews only. Jose the owner is aight. I used to go there years ago when I lived in the neighborhood. I had no problem with Jose but Mike is wrong to say that all the barbers who work there are professionals. One of the barbers who I think was called Q messed up my fade. The reason being his Asian Ho showed up when I was in the chair and he didn't apologize or anything but was like it happens and gave me an attitude like I was interrupting him by getting my hair cut. That is not being professional since that day I stopped going but still Jose is kool and you should get your cuts from him or anyone else but Q. read more

Best Barbershop in all of NYC professional clean none out that hood nonsense a great haircut and shave is always had here especially if you get your haircut by Jose the owner a true master barber. read more

Jose is an absolute professional and a master in his craft. This place is a breath of fresh air and you leave with a head of fresh hair. In an era where most barbers have memorized cookie cutter styles and can only operate with clippers to mimic the hairstyles of guys like Drake or Justin Bieber, Jose and the rest of the barbers are actual barbers. They sport bald heads so that they can dedicate all their time and energy on making sure you have a great head of hair. Great vibe, conversation, atmosphere. Just be cool and don't be a d**k and tip whoever's guaranteeing you a fresh cut and is likely responsible for all the tail you're gonna get after walking out of the Woodside Barbershop. read more

Jose is the man ! Very friendly and does an awesome job !! Will continue to go here.

At the buzzer is a great barbershop especially barber Al. He's a great guy with great vibes and cuts great hair.

Love coming here. Very friendly and chill spot to come to. If you can call in advance do so as some days can be busier than others and the wait can be up to an hour but the cut will be very worth it. read more

I walked in the barbershop with the worst haircut of my life and Jose immediately noticed the previous barbers mistakes. He explained what needed to be done and recommended a few things to get the haircut I wanted. Definitely going back to this place again! read more

So I have been going to Jose "At the Buzzer" for years now. I think he gives a great haircut and an even better shave- old school like, my Dad used to get. I think I am 20 years older than their normal clients- but they make me feel welcome and give me quality service. i have visited the other barbershops in the neighborhood and they are all terrible (bad haircuts and cut me shaving. For a solid haircut- go to the "At the Buzzer." read more

A great neighborhood barber in Woodside. The owner has recently replaced the generic barber chairs with old-style ones, and the place looks sharp. Super nice guy, great haircut for my son. read more

Jose cuts great hair but they are slow as hell!! Especially the other guy...jesus christ !!

This shop is very good Jose is a great guy and has been in business for a while. Sometimes it's busy but it is worth the wait.
