On the Mark Barber Shop — Local services in New York

I’ve been getting my haircut at On the Mark Barber Shop since 2016. I moved to Long Island City and was looking for new barbershop and visted many barber shops but was always treated like some rando. I finally found On the Mark and their 5 star reviews on Yelp. I came in and instantly loved the vibe of the shop. At the time they were playing dope house music and finally found my shop, one where you go to get a fresh cut, and feel good energy. Back then they were in a very snug spot east of 1st ave on 13th, but have since moved to their larger and super clean location west of 1st ave also on 13th street.

Everyone there is a great barber, both with the buzzer and scissors. Most importantly Mark makes sure every customer is treated the best. Booking appointments is seamless, the shop has drinks and sick music most of the time. I’m very grateful I was able to find this shop, as Mark makes sure to take care of all of his customers and all the barbers are really cool. Can’t recommend this barber...

My anxiety disappeared the moment I sat down with one of the barbers. I shared my thoughts on what I wanted to have done and he threw some ideas back at me. What followed was a really comfortable and positive experience which, to top it off, was nowhere near as expensive as it could have been. I loved my haircut and walked away feeling glad that I chose to go there. If you're feeling the way I did, trust me, you're in good hands. This is my definition of a...

I came in off the street and into a well lit and modern decorated barbershop. There were four barbers hard at work when I arrived on Friday night, and there were several guys waiting to get their hair cut. This was a good sign.

Upbeat techno music and movies playing on the TVs helped the wait passby quickly. There were also plenty of magazines available.

I had my hair cut by Roman, who was friendly and great to chat with. It was awesome to share the Russian Jew connection, so we spent the entire time chatting in Russian about the immigrant experience, growing up in the US and the joys of Jewish moms.

My cut was precisely executed and neat. I never do anything complicated, but I could tell that from the other guys the barbers can handle any mens cut you throw at them. A straightedge neck shave rounded out the experience. Perfectly priced at $17. I highly...
