We took my son for his first haircut , at first he was scared but Mr. Pete knew exactly how to keep him calm . On top of that Mr. Pete knew exactly how to style my son's hair, he looks great! Another added bonus to our visit was the friendliness of the whole staff ! Everyone who works there was so nice to us. We will be back for many years to come for our son's haircuts! Thank you Mr. Pete and crew! read more

It depends on who you get - you can't go wrong with the owner Pete but you'll need an appointment or plan to wait. He's quick but does an amazing job. Most of the staff is great but I do find turnover is pretty high so if you liked someone, there's a good chance they went somewhere else 6 months down the line. Some of the barbers were either really slow or just mediocre five to ten years ago but seems the latest batch is much better. Prices have gone up quite a bit over the past four years relative to other places but still in market range. It's a little more jarring here because prices had previously been on the lower end. Lastly the ambiance is pretty good - that is, they've usually had interesting stuff on the TV so that's a small plus! read more

Absolutly destroyed my hair. asked for a 5 ontop skin fade on sides with a shape up and trimmed beard. lady gives me a whole sh*t show that i have to now go pay 45-50$ to another barber to fix my hair and beard thanks. i asked for my eyebrows to be done she left them alone and proceeds to add a slit to undone eyebrows. never shaped me up, nothing. NEVERR AGAIN read more

I cannot even express how much I love this barber. Mandi is so patient with my son and he's not an easy client. But she always gives him such a great haircut. read more

5 West Barber Shop - Before and after haircut (pictures taken same day) - Barbers Near Me - Lindenhurst, New York

We took our son here to get a haircut the last week in February. The previous haircut (NOT done here), the barber had cut his hair so unevenly and it was growing out terribly. Little dude needed it to be fixed, ASAP. We looked up places near us, and thankfully found this little gem. Called ahead, and they said they had time immediately so we drove on over. There were only two people working there that day, and the gentleman who I spoke with on the phone ended up cutting our sons' hair. I believe his name is Carl, but please forgive me if I am wrong. His chair is the first one when you come in on the left. He listened to what we wanted, was so good with little man (aged 4) and had such a natural rapport with him. He made the haircut such a breezy process and FINALLY his hair was even again! It was a perfect cut, and very reasonable ($13). It has been two months, and it is growing out the way it should be. We will be back, once the world is back up and running due to current quarantine but I really wanted to show 5 West some love! read more

Great local regular barbershop finally found close to where I live... my other barbershop i was going too raised there prices by $5 too high in my opinion and always a long wait even though they did good haircuts but wanted a more old school regular barber shop.... so after a search and reviews on Yelp I brought my son here a few months ago and Jeremy did a very good job considering my son is fidgety at times and I came back today for myself and Jeremy nailed my hair cut a skin fade and really took his time and to make sure I was happy with how it was coming along... $20 for my cut in this current economy is very reasonable compared to a lot of other hair cutting places plus a nice bonus to have the Mets game on the tv when I walked in as my son was happy to watch on the couch as I got my cut! This is definitely our new barbershop spot and I highly recommend them! ‍ read more

I love going to the shop and having my hair done by Cha. She does an excellent and meticulous job. She is a skillful and affable person to deal with read more

This is my first time leaving a review for a haircut, but I felt like this place deserves the recognition. My son and I stopped in yesterday and it was an all around excellent experience. We will definitely return! read more

Ever since I was a little kid I was nervous about getting haircuts and looking silly so I was very picky and particular about barbers so I would grow my hair long. Now In my older age (24) I've changed haircut styles but am still picky and particular about getting my haircut and recently my barber moved so now it was time to find a new one. I found 5 west barber shop on google and figured hey let me try them out. Peter is a great guy with a great sense of humor and everyone else in the building is very social and welcoming. Will definitely continue using Peter for my haircuts in the future. read more

the first time I went it was really good but, the second time I went they fucked up my hair.

Growing up in NYC I was always overly particular about who cuts my hair. I've tried a bunch of places in Long Island but 5 West is the best by far. Since finding this gem I refuse to go elsewhere. Plus my 5 yo son loves getting his haircut here also (and the lollipop after). Highly recommended. read more

Great local barber, I have been to Pete, great job and today I went to a lady I've never seen before, pretty Asian lady and it was the best cut I have ever had! and fast! makes an appointment,,, read more

Pete is the best... Previously I had the same barber for 15 years. When he retired I was nervous about finding someone to go to.. I'm lucky I happened to walk in and meet Pete.. no I will be going here every two weeks.. he is the best read more

In a town that oddly had more barbershops than restaurants that aren't Chinese or pizza, this one stands out as one of the best. A no nonsense shop with 4 regular barbers who are there day in a day out. Pete the owner sets the tone for the place and his fellow barbers follow suit. I've only had a few barbers over the years and Mike from 5 West is one that does an amazing job. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a cut that won't break the bank or leave you looking like who did it and ran. He'll steer you in the right direction and is always takes his time and makes sure not to rush the cut Check this place out and give your head the love deserves. read more

Been going here a decade! Pete cuts my hair. He's old so he knows what he's doing. ;) But seriously, they are awesome over here. Been seeing Pete 10 years. Never disappoints. read more

My preschooler is sensitive when it comes to getting haircuts and he would cry wherever I took him. Then we started seeing Pete. He is AMAZING with kids. Such a nice guy and so soft spoken. He shows and explains the tools he's working with (ex: the buzzer, scissors, etc.) to your child before using it on them so they feel more comfortable. If you're looking for a barber for your child, especially if your child is sensitive, I highly recommend Pete. He is patient and kind. You and your kids will love him and haircuts will be a breeze! read more

Tony did a great job on my 3 year old son! It's not easy cutting a toddler's hair and my son hates getting his hair cut. But he did great and my toddler has a fresh clean cut for summer! Thank you! read more

Just got a great haircut from my man Tony. First time coming here and the atmosphere is great and barbers are good people. Blended in my beard good, cut the top just right and edged everything up. Definitely recommend going there read more

Pete and his staff are fantastic. It reminds me of the old fashioned neighborhood Barbershop. I have enjoyed going there for eight years. I missed going this past year because I was hospitalized. My nephew Nicky goes there also and I always recommend it to anyone in the Lindenhurst area. Pete is a great guy and everyone feels like family thete. read more
