    Me after cut
    Don O.

    Really good and careful cut with beard trim and straight razor on back of neck. Will return.

    Fresh cuts from the wonderful team at Barber's Philosophy

    What a wonderful first time experience with the team at Barber's Philosophy! Tatsiana and Kristina took care of both me and my son with great cuts that kicked us off into a great weekend. Their shop is very clean, inviting, and well kept. Booking an appointment is also very easy through their website or via the Booksy app. Definitely going to be returning here and adding to our list of favorite small businesses in our Brooklyn neighborhood, and definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful haircare experience!

    Just recently moved out here to Brooklyn and was looking to get my hair trimmed but also have my sides and back faded. I found Barber's philosophy on yelp and google, both had great reviews especially, Tatsiana. I liked how quick and efficient she was. I showed her the style I was going for and she was able to make it happen, but in a way that fit my head shape. She gave great recommendations and most importantly, she is someone who is good with both clippers AND scissors. I've been getting compliments on my haircut ever since! I will definitely be back!

    Me after the haircut and beard trim.

    Amazing haircut with Mark, recommend to everyone. Mark clrarly followed my instructions and made saw some clean Viking style haircut. Beard trim was great too, cut beard clean on the sides and at the end applied lotion for moisturizing. Fun bonus - they poured a shot of awesome whiskey for me :)

    Tatsiana making me beautiful.

    I made an appointment super last minute, and I was grateful that they were able to get me in. I sat…read morein the chair with a guy named William and he asked me what I wanted a couple of times I had to repeat myself, which was not the issue at all, but each time it felt like he was going more and more agitated when I was just trying to be clear because of course I'm not a barber so I don't know terms like "mid low or high fade". I felt him getting increasingly agitated so I just got out of the chair and said thank you and he muttered something along the lines of "youre contradicting yourself and acting like I don't know what I'm doing". It's not that I didn't think he knew what he was doing. I just wanted to make sure I was clear before he started. Seemed very much like he had v little patience but as someone who had never been there before , I didn't go in wanting smoke..I just wanted a haircut. The woman who checked me in was nice though.

    The service and quality of the work is fine, but their pricing is nonexistent!…read more I moved into the neighborhood last February and in April went and got a decent haircut that cost $58.78. I thought it was a bit high, but I had been out of NYC for 7 years and accepted it, and that included a tip. I next went in July, got pretty much the same (simple) haircut and that cost $41.57, again with a tip. Much more reasonable I THOUGHT. I went in October and was charged $66.69 without a tip! WTF? I didn't go there to get SCALPED! Guess you won't miss 3 visits a year.

    It was mad easy to make the appointment- you can pre pay or pay after service which I appreciate…read more My barber was Nick. I walked in 5 minutes early "I have 3:30 appointme-" "Will? " "yes." " you're with Nick, he'll be done in 5 minutes please have a seat." 5 minutes passed like 20. I was chopping off my brown locks of which so many previous barbers and Salonistas have objectified "your grandfather blessed you huh," complimenting me with confounding wide eyes. I needed like Jesus to resurrect. Hairs a good place to start I had thought, probably influenced subconsciously by those characters on TV or films who chop off their all comfortable mane as to do shock therapy in the mirror or maybe I just wanted attention. Then I was in the chair at 3:30. I sheepishly showed him a picture of the cut that would be my dice toss. "High and tight" I was going all in like they do in Poker or those other Casino games ( which I actually have never played and don't intend to because gambling seems insidious and addiction runs in the family. ) His eyes jolted, catching him stunned then helplessly letting out a little smile like "this little white boy is really going to go for it, fuck it might look good on him" Then back to business, absolutely making positive with me that I wanted exactly the cut this 8 Mile looking kid with the wife beater in the picture had. I nodded becoming a bobble head giving an affirmative green light, consenting to be whacked and mowed. "Top too" "What?" "Top shaven too" "Oh yes. Exactly like the picture!." Still bobble heading before I ran out of that little barber shop like the back door of your neighborhood dive when you see the catfish your lazy tech fueled dating attempts brought in, as he, like a gourmet chef squinting at a fascistic and novel food swap request, made absolutely explicit the terms of my request. Business is business. Then he gently wrapped paper around my neck and then draped the classic robe, needlessly protecting a no effort Sunday dress , as Nick got right to work without those phony pleasantries and small talk of which I've never felt spurred to engage in but ,polite as I am, nonetheless entertain because, like a work of art or a meal, all that goes in to the work will show, and if a barber should feel ignored or made invisible, then this feeling would reflect in my hair. Thank god then the next half hour was silent as he sculpted with blade and razor, as if Sweeney Todd was on Lexapro, his only concern was on applying his tried craft to the customer patronizing his workplace, occasionally stepping back like a sculptor to take in the progress of his recent markings or very gently turning my stoic cheek left or right as needed to access the angle of attack. This was a man whose put in his 10,000 hours on the job because for him this high and tight fade was executed with a swift , calm but unflinching focus, like a routine ground ball to first base, take your eye off the ball and you may make an amateurs error, Nick doesn't take his eye off the ball and it seemed like the other barbers in there worked with just as much commitment and talent, providing excellent and tailored service to whoever should be their trustees . "Okay.. good?" Nick asked me after cleaning with a brush the loose little hairs around my scalp And then I just couldn't believe the mirror. I was Dorian Gray realizing the picture was of him. And I felt something unusual.. a latent puberty perhaps? For in that moment all the depictions of brutal masculinity we get assaulted with in the media suddenly made sense, not in the mind, but lower....in the soul I think. I left Elegant all the 30$ poorer (save for an undisclosed generous cash tip) , with a limitless swagger, feeling the all too late eastern winters 11'O Clock wind bitterly brush through my newly unclad scalp, gently teasing of what's to be a marvelous spring bloom. No, AI did not write this. No, I am no poet or author. I am a young man who's now just- a man. The simple ecstasy of my day. Gambling on a new barber while simultaneously impulsively intending on a suicide bomb of the hair-do, with merely a prayer that it may change things for the better. Oh and alas then Miracles as the master blesses you, the giver of a swag until now had been in a virgins shrouds. 10/10. Would recommend to all grooming mortals.

    It's disappointing for me to write a negative review, as I've been a loyal client of Benny's…read moreBarbershop and Salon since this barbershop first opened on Classon Avenue many years ago. Unfortunately, the past three visits have left me frustrated. I usually book with Yuriy, who is an excellent barber and has always given me great haircuts. The issue is that Yuriy has not shown up for my last three scheduled appointments made through their online booking system. That system allows you to choose a specific barber and time, but if the barber doesn't actually check or honor those appointments, it defeats the purpose. The first two times this happened, I got a haircut from the other 2 barbers in the shop; one the first time, the other the second time. The results were ok--not bad, but not at the same level as Yuriy's work. The third time, Yuriy again didn't show up, and one of the other 2 barbers called him. Yuriy was apologetic, and asked me to come back the following day at a specific time, which I did, but once again he didn't show, and after waiting around for 15 minutes, I left. I don't mind trying different barbers, but once I found a barber I like I prefer to stick to him. if I book a specific person and they repeatedly fail to honor appointments, it feels unprofessional and unreliable. At that point, there's no reason for me to keep booking here when I could just walk into another shop. It's unfortunate, because Yuriy is truly very good. But unless the booking system and reliability improve, I can't recommend this barbershop if you want a specific barber to cut your hair.

    I came in for a haircut but left with a amazing experience. They really take care of you.read more

I came to this shop last week and politely inquired about a haircut and beard shape up. The barber stated "due to COVID-19 protocols we are not allowed to shape beards up." I am shocked as I walk past the same shop today 1.30.2020 and the same barber is literally in the window shaping up someone's beard! Having a barbershop in a historically Black neighborhood means you must have the capacity to cater to a diverse set of hairstyles and people! I will find more ways to out this shop EVERY SINGLE DAY!

    First time here, I'm reading my past haircut reviews saying "X" is the best place ever…read more Man... The haircut I received yesterday was the best damn haircut I received in NYC in a loooong time. I'll explain. I walk into a small shop. I tell them I have an appointment (That is a must) and I'm shown to a chair. The woman cutting my hair introduces herself and she says her name is like the perfume. So now I'm trying to think of her name, Shalimar? Chanel? White Diamonds? We start talking and she's telling me her career, how she worked at bumble & bumble and other high end boutiques. She cut my hair and then shows me to the sink?? Yes, included in this price is a shampoo? Awesome.. Then its back to the chair, she's snipping, cutting and styling. She's telling me I have good hair. I say thank you and this is the reason why I'm at your shop today. A typical mens cut in Long Island is $18 bucks. They plop you in the chair, buzz you fast and say next! Now I look like damn Vinnie Barbarino. NO! My girl Dior (?) gave me the best damn haircut I had all year. I'll be back in a few weeks before my vacation.
