    sloppy fade quality
    Bryan C.

    Had a few good experiences but think the quality has gone down. Would expect the ability to do a quality fade at this price point but unfortunately I think it's a hit or miss now.

    After haircut

    This is the third time I've gotten my haircut here in the last year and a half. I've seen two different barbers. My first haircut I asked for an inch off and left with the shortest hair I've had in years. The cut I got today I asked for an inch or two trimmed in the back and have length halfway down my neck. The haircut I got back in March was perfect and I wanted to see the barber because of it. I came back to him and I got the result pictured. I had curl and volume in my hair prior and now have straight hair with no length in the back. You have to be very specific with these guys. Will be waiting a while before I come back next.

    Final Cut

    Had been following these guys on TikTok for a while and I decided to try them out -- They are no joke. I last minute scheduled an appointment with Tim for a regular haircut (30 mins) but it turns out I should have scheduled for a scissor cut (45 mins) for the style I wanted. He reorganized his schedule just to make sure I got the service I wanted and he never once said anything to make me feel bad or guilty. He listened to everything I wanted and taught me how to style it afterwards. Seriously the best haircut I have ever gotten

    I heard about 12 Pell from my brother as we were conversing about my plans to get a haircut in Brooklyn. After reading the their reviews over a couple of hours, I immediately went to the site to book an appointment. I didn't have the option to choose my barber while making the appointment - don't worry, you'll be able to receive the option. (The first thing I saw on the site was related the day and time I'd like to have my hair cut, but going to the site after I had already booked my appointment, it asks which barber I'd like to select and what their availability looked like). Nonetheless, I was immediately greeted by Julius and offered water upon my arrival at 12 Pell. A single video contained my favorite haircut, which hadn't duplicated and I have no recollection of who had cut my hair that time. As the video is playing, Julius called out what he sees in the video: disconnected Undercut... fade up to a 0.5... and a tapered line. He asked me a few questions - i.e. do you want me to cut it just as is in the video? As well as giving me suggestions - i.e. if you want, we can start at a 1 on the fade and taper it. When we got to that part in the haircut, he stopped and asked if I like the "1", or if I wanted it shorter to the "0.5", to which I agreed to the latter. Regarding every major issue of the haircut - cutting some hair to lighten it and create texture, showing me how to style my hair, as well as asking how I wanted my sideburns - Julius walked me through every step he'd take, provided the reasoning behind his suggestions/methods, and made sure I'd be satisfied by the result. The amount of communication between us, and the quality of what was said, made it feel like he truly wanted to make it to fit my face, rather than just following a template of a disconnected undercut that one might have in their head. I haven't styled my hair in a long time; I actually couldn't remember how long it was since I had my haircut. However, I put all of faith in Julius, and I simply need to play around with how to style my hair. I, wholeheartedly, recommend Julius.

Then I resorted to yelp search for the best men's haircut salon in the area. Tina's salon came up as the top-rated and reviewed option. I took a chance and booked an appointment. I'm glad I booked an appointment and visited Tina Nikolle's Salon. Tina was phenomenal. She gave me an awesome haircut and also trimmed my beard so that I can attend the wedding reception with the best looks! She is very good at what she does and more importantly extremely nice and kind person. Once you interact with her you know how much she loves her job and cares for her customers. One tip to add: If you are visiting for the first time, you may have trouble locating the salon. It's right next to De Janeiro. You have to find a small door on the right side (facing De Janeiro) and then take the elevator to 17th Floor. Tina's Salon is in Suite 1702.

I found Mari's studio and did some research on Low Ear studio and how well she takes care of everyone at the studio also reassured me that this was a business I wanted to support. Mari was amazing and personable, the scissor and blade cut was on point and I haven't been this happy with a haircut in the longest time. Listen this isn't your cheap $25 haircut, this is somewhere you go when you want to change up your style, have someone with skill and experience actually make your hair look good and for weeks after.

    Run--don't walk--to Ian at Low Ear Studio…read more Ian stopped me on the street on my walk home from work to tell me he loved my look and he wanted to work with me... he passed me a card with some of his best cuts on it (very professional photos and business card may I add). Needless to say my immediate thought was "Um yeah!" I checked out his Instagram and he has an expansive portfolio of styles (check him out if you haven't already/ @ianlevinsonhair). I was stoked to set up time in his chair for the following week. The studio itself (located near garment district) is well curated &&& a vibe. Chill music and well-styled interior design create a mood when you enter Low Earth thanks to the collective of talented artists working there. Ian offered me a sparkling water upon arrival (though if it was earlier in the day I'd hope it was an espresso from their beast of a machine!). And I could tell the vibes were good based on the conversations happening at both of the occupied chairs. Hair art is not a concept I've been familiar with in the past but after an hour in Ian's chair, I'm inspired creatively and by his passion for his craft. Ian was tactile, precise and thoughtful in every cut he took of my hair--walking me through the reasoning for the shapes he was creating. He wanted to educate me on why certain shapes and styles complement my look--or don't--and it's clear he knows his stuff. I'm even more impressed he just picked this up a couple of years ago and his passion has driven him to the city. I've never had a hair experience so thoughtful -- Ian is a hair shaman. This guy is going places!
