Barbering By Marcus @ Studio 592

Waaay overpriced and totally under performed. I am an African American and they have several Barbers of color, who claim to be masters at their craft, the environment is pleasant, the prelude to the haircut is nice, but the actual haircut was garbage! On the recommendation of the owner Marcus, I was serviced by a Barber who claimed he had years of experience, but this was not reflected in the end result, and I was charged $100+, for what should have been a simple sunburst fade mohawk and beard trim, that ended up looking more like a blunt bowl cut. It was not worth the money, nor the time. Unless you are a person with wavy to straight hair, and you don't mind paying more than $80 dollars for location, ambiance and a simple haircut and beard trim, don't bother. I have kinky hair, and clearly they have no real experience with my hair type. So I'm sticking with my Dominican brothers in the Bronx & Yonkers, who provide a good environment with GREAT SERVICE for UNDER $30. Big Up and Much Love and Respect to Aldo of Aldo's Barber Shop at 300 New Main Street in Yonkers, I ALWAYS enjoy the experience and I ALWAYS leave looking So Fresh and So Clean, Clean!!! Barbering By Marcus, was an extreme disappointment and, Lord willing, I'M NEVER GOING BACK!

To Recap and Respond to the owners response to My Review, HELL NO, I WAS NOT SATISFIED. I left in a cordial and diplomatic way, not wanting to create a scene or disturb your customers. So I would greatly appreciate it if you'd refrain from telling ME about MY experience. The only correction to my original post should be where I referred to my haircut as a "sunburst fade with a mohawk", A truly experienced barber (Twan, from Levels, West 125th street) corrected me, its a "South of France" haircut, but you and your barbers didn't know that, even after I showed three of you (including Oliver) at least 2 pictures. So cut the Bull$#!+ Bro. Check any of my reviews, ALL of them are fair and honest, your just angry because I hit the nail on the head with my review. Your shop is not geared to People of Color with kinky hair. Keep it real, and accept that you can't please everyone. Be happy you got 1...

I've been going to Marcus for a little over a year now, and I will never go to a different barber. If customer service is important to you, then this shop is your best bet. I usually get a haircut and shave when I visit the shop and I walk out feeling great. Marcus makes sure that you are well taken care of while you're in there. They offer you drinks such as coffee, tea, or water. Whatever you ask for, they will try to get. Their cuts are amazing. Whatever you want your hair to look like, they make it happen. They take pride in their services, which is important to me. It's clean and always being tidied by the assistants. They wash your hair thoroughly, which is a plus for me. While you're getting a shave, they make sure they don't nick you and apply scented hot and cold towels on your face. They do some facial massaging, which is always a good feeling. Honestly, the price is a little steep at $85 for a cut and shave. Compared to a crappy $40 shave and cut at other barber shops, I would rather spend the extra money. They provide better service, they allow appointments, they are clean, and they actually know how to cut your hair. If your haircut is usually done with only a buzzer, then this place is not for you. If your hair requires the use of scissors, and you are particular with your hair, then give this place a try. I'd be surprised if you walked out disappointed. And you never walk out with hair on your neck and...

Came to this place after reading these reviews. I have a mid-long hair and prefer to have only scissors cut. First time I didn’t explain the way to cut my hair and just showed a picture, hoping that it would be quite enough for a stylist in that kind of pricy place. When he finished my haircut wasn’t even close to what I was showing. As far as I’m a stupid and reflexive, I decided that the picture is not enough and I need to explain what I want to so called barberist. Since more than a month I came there for the second time, explained my haircut in details and said exactly what to do. He did absolutely the same short haircut as he did a month ago. I got outta there in total madness with strong understanding that they make a haircuts in one certain pattern and that’s it. The place is pricy just because of the location and their service, not due to flexible professionals. This is my subjective review but still if you have a mid or long haircut I would definitely NOT...
