Erik's Barber Shop — Local services in New York

I gave this place 3 chances since its close and had $12 haircuts. The first was mediocre but I figured "what do you want for 12 bucks in Manhattan?"

And taking a second look at the other "3" reviews, they seem fake. That or the people...

Awesome neighborhood barbershop! For years I was going to a more high end, fancy salon and stumbled upon this barbershop in my neighborhood.

They cut your hair the way you want it done and do as good of a job as any salon but at half the price! I go to Tina and she is the best! At the end of every haircut you get this amazing 2-3 minute shoulder massage that's included which caps off the haircut perfectly. A true throwback barbershop with low costs and...
