Artur and his cat
Joey T.

The Place: I figured why not give this place a try, you never know what you're gonna get from a barbershop until your first haircut. I went on a Sunday, afternoon/evening time. No reservation was needed, I was taken care of as soon as I walked in. My friend sat on a cushioned bench near the door as I was greeted by Artur. There are 3 barbers working at a time. The Haircut: I showed him pictures of 2 general styles that I wanted to merge together. He discussed it with his colleague then motioned me to sit down. He told me that he would start off longer. As soon as he parted my hair with a comb and took off a good 3 inches, I could tell that he knew what he was doing. He paid careful attention to details, and when I gave the hint that I wanted to fix the sides, he already knew what to do. I asked him about keeping the bangs, cutting it shorter, getting a shape up, etc. and I trusted his opinion. By the end of it I was extremely happy with my cut. He took his time, was patient, and listened to every request. It did not feel rushed, and the hairline clean up was neat, leaving no stray hairs. Conversation: Artur made polite conversation, he told me about his friends and said he was from queens too. The amount of conversation was not overwhelming, which is nice. Price: For a regular haircut its $20 without tip, no hot towel/wash. I was not informed of any loyalty cards or any type of reward system. Not sure if they take card as I handed him cash while another customer was seated. Accommodations/Drinks: They have a mini fridge full of mini poland spring's and pepsi's. We were also given straight vodka shots (insert russian house joke here). There are televisions lined up at every chair with movies playing. All in all, this place was comfortable and the barbers know how to make you look good. They seem to tailor the haircut to your head and your face, which is much appreciated.

(:

Igor gives the best fades in the city. Attention to detail, clipper work, good chat. He's got it all in the bag. Highly recommend.

He had dinner reservations. He told me he could do a clean up, once he did the cleanup and it was not clean at all I had him make two more alterations. All in all it looks fine, the 1 star is because he charged me for a Premier cut which is supposed to take 45 minutes and include a wash; he took about 25 minutes. And I had to drag him to get what I needed; paid $77 for a very unpleasant experience. Go somewhere else for your haircut in midtown.

Do not let Rodica touch your beard. Even with a literal photo of how I looked after my last trim,…read moreshe completely changed my beard shape after pummeling my face painfully and spreading some kind of product not only on my beard but over my lips. Ugh. Maybe she's good at hair cuts or the other guys are good with beards, but she barely speaks English and made my crane my head backwards the entire time, which literally no other barber in my life has done....what in the actual? Complete disaster. Luckily it'll grow back but that's $60 down the drain. (Yes I did tip because even people who suck at their job need to eat)

I had to attend a wedding reception at New York but didn't have enough time to get a haircut before…read moreflying out there. 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.

Tina has been making me look as good as possible for the last 15 years. It's even better now that…read moreshe has her own place. Super clean, great service, even better haircuts. With a complimentary beer if you want! Truly I can't recommend Tina enough. I've referred a bunch of friends and colleagues to her over the years and they've all raved about their haircut. You are in good hands.

Made an account just for this. Reviews made me excited to try this place after failing to find…read morestylists in my area for men's wavy long hair (Shoulder to mid back long.) But most of those glowing reviews are pre-covid. I don't know if a lot of their stylists left but there's a notable lack of reviews post-covid. They're kind and the space feels lux and quiet. Problem is communication, went multiple times feeling very whelmed and changed stylist every time. After my third time I think I'm done, I've shown pictures and discussed with them what I wanted but they can never seem to get it right. Instead they default to a generic taper short off the sides and medium top cut, but then why tell me you can do the cut or even have experience with it? Is it my head shape? Face? Am I too ugly? Communicate that to me before you decide to just ignore the conversation we had and just free style. It's frustrating because I am growing out my hair for this cut and they do what they want. I don't want to be rude and stop you mid cut but then why am I paying so much just to be left unsatisfied? Most of the men leaving the place have the same exact cut. Anything longer than a short to medium cut is a no go, those cuts look clean and nice. Kept going in with shoulder length wavy hair just to get butchered every time.

Just had my hair cut by Scottie and will definitely be returning. I have wavy hair so often its…read moreleft either too short or too long. Today's cut is perfect! He knew exactly how to cut my hair to complement my face shape. I'm a very happy customer! The wash was awesome to! Thanks.

Very old school barber shop. I got a shave and a haircut from Jerry and it was very well done…read more Nothing fancy here, but everything Jerry did was thorough and expertly done. I did call in advance to make sure he had time, he asked if I could stop by in 30 minutes, which was no problem. I was able to walk right in and get my shave and haircut.

I just saw a Times article about all the hipster barbershops opening up in Manhattan and was…read moreappalled by what I read. One jackass who charges $100 for a haircut talked about how a real barber (such as himself of course) only does 4 haircuts an hour. Really 4 haircuts an hour? That's 15 minutes each, which after getting in and out of the chair and prepping and combing equals about 10 minutes. You might as well go to supercuts to get that sort of crap haircut. Which brings me to Jerry's! If you are in the city and want to spend 1/3 of what some hipster doofus barber will charge you then check out Jerry's! I used to go to Jerry's consistently when I first started working in midtown but started going to a place in jersey near where I lived at the time, though I still pop over once in a while. If you are in midtown and want a good haircut, this is the place (great if you work in midtown and the boss is giving you crap about your shaggy hair). Mostly older barbers who can do a variety of styles (though I doubt they do shaggy hipster/bieber cuts).They give a very thorough, careful haircut. Usually lasts at least 25 minutes, since they actually take their time and go over it more than once to make sure it is perfect. It is pricey around $30ish I believe, but hey, its in midtown. And of course they use a straight razor, and less importantly but still really cool, they have an ancient hand cranked hot towel machine! P.S. Its very difficult to find (buried in the basement) so ask for directions at one of the rock center info desks located at each entrance.
