This is the good barber shop. It's bright, and clean, and modern, and feels like a place where not just the clients, but also the barbers walk out happy too. Blue & Black makes it easy. They let you book online, they can keep your credit card on file, they offer you a nice beverage (alcoholic or non) before your cut, and they have comfortable seats for you to wait in. Best of all, their barbers are excellent. I've had my hair cut by Eva and Bridget thus far, and they both KNOW. THEIR. BIZ. Whatever it is you're looking for, I feel pretty confident that they can make it work. The tough part is if you don't know what you're looking for, but that's really on you (and me). That said, they both did an excellent job at taming my manbun, and now I'm at a place where I like the way my hair looks. They've done nothing about my face, unfortunately. read more

I have been coming here for eight years now I think? It has never been anything other than the best. An absolute Brooklyn treasure! Shout out to Tony and the whole crew! read more

Gordie is excellent. The best buzzcut I've had in yeeeeears. He was super friendly and provided a meticulous cut. The shop itself has a modern, airy vibe that feels welcoming. They offered a complimentary drink upon entry, which was a nice touch. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

Yes Yes Yes. If you want a place that is clean, comfortable, considerate and consistent, stop looking and book an appointment here. It's an upscale place that is completely down-to-earth. An earthly indulgence for all of us to enjoy!!! read more

Solid, non pretentious, worth the money, comp dog treats for me and beer for Paco! Buzzzz! read more

Blue & Black - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Doug is a detailed and talented barber. Book him if he is available. Thanks Blue&Black!

My brother-in-law really likes this place and booked an appointment for me. Was my first professional beard trim and my barber Doug was super detailed and thoughtfully explained the steps to me. Left feeling like a new person and will be back. Thanks Doug and Blue&Black! read more

Great spot, I love the vibe. Tony has been cutting my hair for a while and always does a great job. I always like how I look after leaving. Bonus: there's free Other Half beer available! read more

Blue & Black is a very cool place to get a high-quality cut. I used to go to a family place whose primary virtue was how fast you could get outta there (It's so wild how some places can spend upwards of an hour for an average men's haircut!), and when I was ready to graduate to a grown-up barbershop, this place fit the bill perfectly. My first haircut here was the cut I got before my wedding - this was the highest stakes haircut in my life, and Olivia really delivered. She did a great job, and I have only gone to her ever since. The perks here are beer while you wait, a luxurious straight razor/hot towel treatment, and an online appointment page (might seem like nothing but this is HUGE for me). But they'd just be window dressing if the cuts weren't worth the price of admission, and I can attest that they are great! read more

This is my go to barber shop, with friendly experienced staff that can style and cut hair great! Chris is the best!

I, like many others who left reviews before me, used to go to Tony before B&B and followed him when he opened the new shop. The new space is pretty amazing. The ambiance is laid back, modern and comfortable. The quality of work and products available are always top-notch! I really like being able to sample some of the products to get an idea of whether or not they work for me. It's also great because they offer you a beer, sparkling water, or this cool bubbly coffee soda while you're waiting for your appointment. This area of Brooklyn has many cool coffee shops and restaurants as well. I'm definitely a dedicated client and I don't even live in NYC! read more

Blue & Black - The wooden sign out front. - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Blue&Black is perfect. Been going here for 4 yrs+ and they always do a great job. Very cool space. They take excellent Covid precautions. Tony has been my go-to stylist lately - he's also the owner - but the others are great too. Friendly, skilled and reliable. read more

This is my neighborhood barber and I love it. Starts with a beer and always ends with a smile and a great haircut. All of the stylists/barbers are great (have gone to a few different people over the years), but I now consistently schedule my cut with Bridget. She gives me the cut I want every time, consistently checks in to make sure she's getting the length right (and puts up with me when I hedge back and forth about whether it's still too long), and is just an overall outstanding professional and person. I'd recommend booking an appointment over waiting, but it's worth the wait if you have to. Plus, there's that beer I mentioned. read more

Smokey cut my hair for the first time and I am so impressed with the job she did. I got a mid-fade cleanup and a bit of a trim, a cut that I've gotten many times before, but she took factors into consideration I have never had a barber do before. The angle in which she blended from my sideburns upward framed my face in such a great way. Details like that matter so much and made me feel like I wasn't just another head in a chair. I'll definitely go back to Smokey for my next cut! Thanks :) read more

I've lived in New York for more than eight years and have tried several barbers, including Persons of Interest on Smith Street. Blue & Black is by far my favorite among all those I've tried. The place is spacious, the staff is friendly and my cuts have been always perfect. I've only seen Bridget twice, but I highly recommend her. She's a great barber and always fun to talk to. Some other fun perks about Blue & Black are that they offer free draft beer or seltzer water, a hot towel after your cut and have a great selection of hair-related products for sale. read more

Smokey. Smokey. Smokey. Smokey. Smokey. That is the name you should know. This is not to discredit all the other talented people here, who are all amazing. But if you want someone who does a great job, is chill as hell, and really, truly cares about their craft. Smokey is name to know. ::mic drop:: read more

This place is awesome! I just moved here from San Francisco about 9 months ago, and I've been desperately searching for a good barber. This is the 6th spot I've checked out in Brooklyn and I won't be going anywhere else moving forward. Before my first visit, I read a review that mentioned that Eva gave them the perfect haircut after glancing at the photo they showed for a few seconds - that is exactly what happened to me! I've visited Eva about 4 times now in the last 3 months and each cut has exceeded my expectations. I really liked that I was able to book an appointment online, and pay with a credit card...oh and they offered me a great IPA upon arrival. Save yourself from getting butchered at the other chop shops in the area and head to Blue & Black. You won't regret it!!! read more

Everyone was overly nice and a pleasure to be around. However, I believe it's time to change the blade on your straight edge razor. I came in soley based on a recommendation. I wanted to look sharp for a business dinner however, I left bleeding and stinging. Im now left with stubble, razor burn and scratches. Not cool! read more

I love this place - walk in and get greeted with a Cold Brew, Seltzer or the Other Half IPA. The spot is professional and reasonably priced. Booking appointments online makes life simpler. Bridget is awesome! She's fast but never rushes. Is extremely patient, listens attentively and delivers a superior quality cut or shave! read more

Not everyone can cut my hair because it is very fine. Ken did a great job with a straight razor cut. If you are in the neighborhood, go here because they are friendly and chill. read more

Me and my boyfriend both get our haircuts with Bridget. She's not only really good at what she's doing, she makes you feel comfortable and is a great person to chat with! Always excited to get my haircut from her! read more

Closing time is listed at 9 p.m. but if one shows up at 8:40 p.m. for a beard trim with no one else waiting in line the lady cutting hair will tell the shop is closed. Maybe the shop should post 8:30 p.m. closing time so people's time is not wasted. read more

Wow, is really all I can say. My girlfriend and I were walking around Brooklyn, and came across here. Ken cut my hair, and he is AMAZING. If people are complaining about spending $42 on a haircut..relax. You get what you pay for. I love my hair, i always THOUGHT it was perfect until ken started cutting. He's a great guy, and really knows what he's doing. My hair looks amazing, and worth every damn penny! I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been going to Ken for the past few months while he was at Rudy's in Williamsburg. While I'll miss the convenience of walking to get a cut, following Ken over to Blue & Black is a no brainer. The guy is great. I have fine hair, with a couple of tough cowlicks, and have never been great at conveying what I want in a cut. Ken is laid back and the conversation flows with ease. He takes his time to make sure what he's doing is in line with what you want. After a few visits, I stopped worrying and just let him do his thing. At this point, I'm not letting anyone else touch my hair. As for the shop - super nice place. It has a very clean feel, and the fact that they pour you an IPA as soon as you walk in is a plus. The guy behind the counter was cool...which was refreshing. They offer online booking, look up Ken and thank me later. read more

I used to go to Freeman's, then Persons of Interest (when I moved to Carroll Gardens) and now I'm going to Blue & Black. Perhaps it's because they are newer and are just trying harder to break into the market, but the experience at Blue & Black is even better for me than the other hipster barber places mentioned. The space is great, the staff is really attentive and focused... That's actually the reason I gave it a try... Tony had cut my hair at another shop in the past and I thought he always did an incredible job. But if that wasn't enough, the topper is that they have INSANELY GOOD beer on tap that you can enjoy while you're waiting or after you get your cut. When Persons of Interest started offering free bottles of Brooklyn beers, it seemed like a stroke of genius. But offering a truly delicious craft beer on tap and poured in an ice-cold metal cup takes the idea to the next logical step. So... Come for the beer and stay for the excellent cuts. read more

I was super impressed with not only my haircut but, my entire experience at Blue and Black. From the space to the beer on tap (other half) to the person cutting my hair, everything exceeded my expectations. Eva, was incredibly friendly and bright and most importantly talented. She did everything from trim my crazy eyebrows to rinse my hair after the cut so I could head back to work and not shed into people beers. I really enjoyed the hot towel on my face at the end.. It was a top notch experience. When I headed back to the bar, I got several compliments through out the evening.. I normally hate the process of getting my hair cut. I have to say, i actually enjoyed it this time. Will be back for sure. read more

I've been living in NYC for almost 10 years now and this is BY FAR the best place to go for a dope haircut and style. The people there are laid back, cool as hell and give outstanding service (I too make a living in the service sector). Since I first visited Blue & Black, I've been going to see Bridget, who is simply AWESOME. During that first visit specifically, I put my absolute trust in Bridget to cut my hair in a way that fit the form of my face and would leave me feeling confident. Prior to that, I hated going to the barbershop- but now, I freakin' LOVE it. Bridget delivered on that first cut and then some. And ever since, I've never been happier. I now travel over an hour to go and see her (I've since moved out of the Carroll Gardens hood)...and every cut is consistently great. Not to mention, Bridget is one badass kind chick!! If you want the best haircut/style in Brooklyn, run to Blue & Black- and ask for Bridget. I promise you'll be stoked that you did. read more

Firstly, this space is beautiful. This barbershop has an excellent atmosphere staffed with people who provide a first class experience. Reception to barbers, Blue & Black knows how to make you feel comfortable and provide you with some serious style. I've had my haircut with Eli a few times and I would highly recommend him. He's a laid back dude who knows how to create whatever it is that you're looking for. He's a good listener and masterfully translates your words into the perfect cut. Blue & Black is a really remarkable barbershop that is able to set itself apart from other similar shops in Brooklyn. The staff, the cuts, and the experience is a truly special one and really worth a visit. Also, the beer they have on tap is free. AND it's delicious. Seriously, It's like really, really, good. read more

this place is a bro's paradise. you get served beer, get hair cuts, read gq magazines and the monocle as you wait. i was waiting for my husband while he was getting his hair cut and was really impressed with the brofessionalism here. read more

Blue & Black - Bro paradise - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Somehow, going to the barber has shifted from being an experience that I tolerate to an experience that I really enjoy. I followed Tony to this new shop from his last one, and this place is great. It's clean, well-lit, they play good music and there's free beer. Free, like air. That's right. Free. Beer. But slightly more important to that is the fact that Tony gives a perfect cut. He runs the show, and I don't see him hiring anybody that doesn't do a great job. This end of Court isn't overwhelmingly commercial yet, so parking is easy. It's across the street from Prime Meats and Black Gold Records and just up the block from Court Street Grocers and Buttermilk Channel. All of these places are excellent. This place is a great new addition to the neighborhood and I will be coming back. read more

This is the best barbershop in Brooklyn. Every time I've gotten a cut or a trim of my full face beard, I walk away very happy. It's so tough to find barbers who know how to make beards look great, and this place is a hidden gem. Put these skilled professionals in a beautiful clean shop that serves up soft drinks and draft beer for customers while you wait and I think you can't argue that you have the perfect barber shop. read more

I've been going to Eva for about three years and have always enjoyed my cuts. Seltzer and beer on arrival, a good cut, great conversation, warm towel, and a rinse. I look forward to every visit. Thanks for being such a great part of the neighborhood! read more

This is a great place and well worth every penny you spend. The Customer service is fantastic. The employees are really about giving the customers a great experience. From the waiting room, to the offering of soda or beer, to the professionalism of the barbers. Eli is the best barber I've ever had and does such an amazing job! I highly recommend this place whether you live in the area or not definitely check Blue and Black out! read more

Blue & Black is my chosen spot for haircuts and beard trimmings for over 7 months now. Mike is the man to see. His cuts are spot on and he's quick with product advice, too. Absolutely recommend you try this place and ask for Mike when you do. You'll be back for sure. Bonus: seltzer or beer upon arrival! read more

Eli gave me an exceptional haircut, clean lines, perfect fade. The whole experience was quite luxurious: cushy seats, hot towel eucalyptus treatment, warm foam for the shave. The shop smells great, plays good music, feels very relaxing. I highly recommend this shop & Eli specifically for a great personal treat. read more

Came here on a recommendation from a friend & boy I'm sure glad I listened. I was greeted warmly when I walked in and offered a beer before I even took my coat off, star 1. I had an appointment with Eva & she is awesome, star 2. She listened to what I wanted and delivered, star 3. I have had a 'girlie' mohawk for months (I had long hair at the sides) until last night when I went full mohawk. I have been into several barber shops in the city and in my old neighborhood Astoria and a lot of places wouldn't even touch my hair, even though it was already shaved or if they would shave my head I wasn't made to feel very comfortable in the 'boys club' that is not the case at Black & Blue, star 4. The prices are extremely reasonable for the service and quality you get, star 5. They have nice grooming products as well. I don't care if you're a girl or a guy, just go here and get groomed. read more

Every time I come I feel welcomed with a smile and an offer of nice refreshing beer or a sparkling water, great place, clean, spacious and kind of retro look. I've been here a few times and love it every time, I see Tony and he takes care of my growing beard, he is a beard master, while in the chair i am pampered, eucalyptus scent towels are part of the experience and I love it. Always leave looking better, happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Tony! read more

Eva is a master of her craft. Whether it's for my beard or my hair, she provides solid advice and leaves me feeling fully confident about how I look. B&B has a great vibe with terrific service. For me, coming from a long history of stylist haircuts in salon environments, it's given exactly what I hoped for after growing a beard a looking for a one-stop-shop. The craft beer on tap doesn't hurt either! read more

I have to agree with all the other 5-star reviews here. I've been coming here for a year straight now and have seen Ethan every time. I've tried all the other shops as a native New Yorker - Freeman's (Ruben was always the best), The Blind Barber, Fellow Barber, Cotter, Barbershop and of course Persons of Interest. My stylist at POI was great and went back to her several times, but the customer service wasn't so much and booking an appointment (especially last minute) has always been a hassle. Love that Blue & Black has online booking, great friendly customers service, awesome atmosphere, incredible music (please make a Spotify playlist I can follow!) and consistently great cuts with hot towels and Other Half IPA while you wait. Great products for sale as well, all at a reasonable price. I'd definitely recommend it - you can't go wrong with any of the other staff (my friends all go here to different peeps). read more

Honestly best haircut I've gotten In a very long time. I have been going to the barber shop around the block from my house for years. And my haircut was always below par. Mostly for convenience and price. Ended up trying out blue and black. Ken cut my hair. The guy has serious talent. Very friendly atmosphere of the shop was like something I couldn't have imagined. Take the time out of your day and hit them up . Promise it'll be worth it. Specially for guys tryna get a fresh fade or something of the sort. Hope this helps anyone hating their current chop or shop. read more
