The Stepping Razor Barbershop — Local services in New York

So I came here after being away in Europe for a month and desperately needing a haircut for my first day at my new job. I figured I would give this shop a shot seeing how it’s walking distance from my apartment and my original barber was out sick.

I wanted a natural look, not a line up and that’s exactly what I got - On top of that, I got my sides pushed back which was really aggravating. I usually don’t post reviews but I have to look at myself every day and it’s truly upsetting that I have to wait til my hair grows back to go to my original barber and have him clean me up.

Haircuts are an intimate experience and this shop takes great care ensuring it's clients always feel comfortable and that their presence is appreciated.

Cannot recommend this place enough, come through for a great cut from an...

First time here i had to beg the barber to even out the buzz she spent 45min on... she argued the whole time, blamed my headshape, and made me vuncomfortable. It's literally a buzz. I did a more even job myself during lockdown. Dumb me tried again, and this time I didn't even make it to the chair. I didn't have time to wait 20min past my appt time for the barber to kill his vape and finish his chat before he was able to even acknowledge me. I rarely leave negative reviews but this spot is just...
