Ace of Bladez Barber Shop — Local services in New York

Went in for a walk-in. Avi cut my hair and was great. He immediately knew what to do with my gargantuan head of hair that could build a tiny house dog with the amount cut off.

She's a true pleasure to visit and it just makes for a fantastic overall experience. Lora is a keeper!

As a native New Yorker, I very highly...

One of the worst haircuts I’ve gotten in a very very long time. So short on top that I can’t style it whatsoever. Extremely uneven part, that doesn’t seem to follow my natural part at all. I am very disappointed because 1. These barbers are not in tune with current hair fashion (I look like a European soldier, and probably will for the next couple of weeks) 2. They’re not the most honest barbershop (when I was paying, the guy initially said it would be $45, then after I looked at the price menu, which says $30, decided to say “I meant to say $32”) so as you can see, they were hungry to grab a few extra bucks. So yeah, stay away at all costs unless you like looking...
