Thee Brooklyn Barber — Local services in New York

This is with out a doubt the worse hair cut I have EVER received. (look at pictures) I have been here before and it use to be my go to place, they’re usually friendly and efficient, until recently. This last time I went in the barber seemed annoyed to cut my hair (I have longer hair and didn’t want it too short.) He started by barely cutting my hair and asked if that was “good enough” but there was no visible change. After explaining I wanted it shorter all around he proceeded to cut JUST the bangs (unevenly I must add) and after explaining that the rest of my hair needed to be trimmed evenly he proceeded to absolutely BUTCHER my hair. Not only that, but when he started to buzz my neck he used the wrong length razor and cut the hell out of my neck, after complaining he switched razors and proceeded to cut my neck some more. He then again asked if this was “good enough” and at this point I had enough of him pretending that he had any idea what he was doing and felt it wasn’t smart to let him continue so I left and immediately went somewhere else to fix it. I loved this place but if this is the standards they’re setting now, I would never recommend this...

Went in 20 minutes before closing along with two other guys who literally got there 2 seconds before me. There were two barbers working on two other customers and they greeted us all politely and didn’t mind that we arrived right around closing time. Atmosphere and vibe is very chill. Nice playlist and comfortable seats.

The cut: John is truly passionate about what he does. I got seated to start my cut about 5 minutes prior to official closing time (my service probably took about 30-35 minutes beard plus hair cut) and he really took his time making sure my hair looks it’s best when I walk out. Other barbers would probably rush to get the job done quick as the shop was closed but John was zoned in and paying attention to every detail from my haircut to the beard. The end result was THE BEST haircut I got in my life. John even gave me advice on how to maintain my dry hair and got the haircut literally as I asked from the picture I showed him. 5 stars all around! When I’m ever in the area, I’ll definitely be back! Thanks for the great...

Nice shop but the haircut was nothing what I asked for which was a fade and keep bangs long as a style then back. Was a odd interaction from the start, but the barber seemed confident and acted like he knew exactly what I wanted… he asked how short on the sides after I told him a fade and I was like what do you mean? That was followed up with the same question. So I pointed to the main top of the sides and I said here?! Needless to say I did not get a fade. He flattened my bangs down which went past my brows, and I reiterated I like the bangs how they were… snip! A whole inch. It’s like he was not interested at all what I was saying. I look like a 7 year old and will probably have to buzz it off. Would share a picture but I am but too embarrassed to even go out in public like this. Pros: nice free...
