LIC Royal Barbershop & Kids Cuts — Local services in New York

I cannot say enough great things about this place! My son desperately needed his first haircut, but I wanted to go somewhere that 1-had great ratings and 2-would be safe considering the pandemic. I saw LIC Royal Barbershop & Kids Cuts had awesome reviews and high ratings, so I called and scheduled an appointment. When we arrived, the first thing I noticed was that this place was extremely clean (hooray!). They did a great job spacing out the chairs and even had clear dividers between stations. I really like that the kids section is totally separate from the rest of the salon. Before my son was put into the kid's chair (a cute firetruck), the barber (who was also wearing a mask) disinfected the chair and everything that my son could possible touch. Same goes for the scissors and comb that he was about to use for my son's haircut. The barber then washed his hands. I was beyond happy that he was so conscious of the safety and cleanliness of this place. He was very patient and so friendly towards my son (as I can imagine cutting a toddler's hair can be so challenging!). The barber was also very thoughtful, considering how to cut my son's wavy/curly hair to the appropriate length as his hair will grow back quickly. I appreciated the great service and I'll be taking my son to this barbershop from now on....

This is a great place. My son got his 1st haircut here today. It was a walk in but appointments are encouraged. Boris attended us. Boris was very knowledgeable about hair and the appropriate haircut for my son. I was specific on the look I wanted for my son and he heard every detail. I appreciated how patient and gentle he was cutting my son’s hair. Boris attentive to making sure I liked how the haircut was going through the process. I appreciated that. At the end Boris gave my son a certificate for his first haircut. Very cute detail to receive at the end.

The only negative for me was there wasn’t a changing table to change my son’s diaper so I improvised and changed his diaper in his stroller in the back by the bathroom. Just a head up for parents who might have to change a diaper.

Other than that small inconvenience I will definitely be returning for the next haircut. I enjoyed the experience and my...

Brought my extremely active 2 year old son for his 4th haircut!!! Boris cut his hair and I am so impressed with how FAST he is and how WELL he cut the hair of a moving target! He was extremely skilled in distracting my son and seemed kind and detail oriented. The salon was extremely clean and well kept! They had a little separate children’s area that was all decked out with toys, cars, and TVs to make it happen. We also chatted with Rita who seemed very pleasant. We were easily able to book the appt online and while I thought the haircut seemed pricey, after going to the salon I think it was worth the price bc my son was excited and wanted to stay, and his hair looks amazing for anyone- let alone a 2 year old! It looks like he sat still for the cut which I assure you- he did not! I am very happy we found this spot and plan to bring him back as needed. Make sure to bring...
