Well played ol' Chaps! (& Co) I just had a great grooming experience at Chaps & Co this past weekend. If you follow my reviews, you know every 3 months I come into NYC on a Saturday so my wife can get a haircut. To pass the time, I usually walk around Chelsea Market with an espresso in hand and window shop. This particular weekend, I decided to drop her off and then zoom to midtown for a 90 minute hot shave / scissor cut. Walking into Chaps & Co has a more 21st century modern feel. You won't find a barber pole inside, instead there is a coffee bar. I was introduced to Brian, my barber for the session and sat in the large barber chair. If you've never had a hot towel shave, I suggest you treat yourself. Your face is your biggest asset. The barber uses exfoliating products to revitalize your skin. Then wraps a hot towel to let the products work their magic. Look at my picture, can you believe I'm 77 years old? Haha After my relaxing hot towel shave, he starts to cut my hair. As with any good barber, they have to be a good conversationalist. It seems like I struck gold, this guy was a car guy! We start talking about his car and I mention my old Chevy. The conversation kept going for over an hour. The end result? A fantastic shave & haircut. After I get up to pay, the front desk made me a latte to go. I've been to high end hair places like bumble & bumble. Chaps & Co has the process down, it's a great spot for a gentleman to get a hot towel shave and a haircut. I just made my next appointment with Brian again. It aligns with my wife's appointment. I have a battle rhythm now, Chaps & Co is now my go to NYC barber. Treat yourself and make an appointment! read more

EXCELLENT HAIR DRESSER FOR MEN!! My son gets a scissor cut from Illias. He's very talented, uses European techniques, and provides exactly the style expressed. A rare gem in the USA. read more

Have had 3 haircuts here. 1 was really good, the other 2, not so much Like the vibe of the place And the cashiers are always friendly read more

Frauds. Steal your money if you show up late. Was charged $70 and they refused to cut my hair

Great atmosphere. Very talented Barbers. Great coffee while you wait. There is a very tall barber that works there that is so nice to look at. I recommend. read more

Ali gave me a solid cut at a reasonable price. Very efficient and easy to make an appointment.

I booked in advance for a skin fade, which is listed on the website as a 1hr-1hr 15 min treatment for $65. This is pricey compared to other barber shops so I was expecting some degree of pampering (even a basic hair wash). I was churned in and out of there in 15 minutes flat. No wash, no product. While the fade was decent, the business practices are sketchy and deceitful. A 15 min haircut is not $65. read more

I used to like this place -- I had a 5 star review up for eight months -- but with more than a year under my belt I can say there's not much to back up their high prices. 1. When you go for a cut + shave they give you a generous "1hr 15m" -- but in practice it's less than 40 minutes every time. And, it often feels rushed. 2. They won't fix a bad haircut. Even after seeing them twice a month for over a year they wouldn't consider it. Things happen, fixing up a bad job is standard for salons and barbershops alike. This is not what $125 per cut should look like. 3. They will modify your purchases to add tips you didn't approve -- be good to your barber, use cash or Venmo instead -- in my case they added a $30 tip after paying and checking out! They're nice people, but it's not a place to go other than for a last minute cut. Leave your expectations at the door. read more

Fernando is amazing. He always does an amazing job and makes sure that you are happy with your haircut. He is super knowledgeable and always leaves you walking with a great haircut. The staff is super friendly and helpful read more

Amazing Service! Great Hot Shave! Highly Recommended. The Staff is very Knowledgeable and Friendly!

First time going to Chaps & Co but not my first time using Robert B. The experience with him was amazing as always. I've been following Robert for over 5 years. He is so talented it's scary. I can't say enough good things about this man's skill set and most importantly about him as a person. Great quality guy. Chaps and Co was a very cool barbershop. Everyone was very friendly. I would highly recommend Chaps and Co and of course Robert. read more

So boom. TL;DR: Stop wasting time and get your best haircut from Rob and enjoy going to a fancy shop. Barber: So if you haven't heard of the @MostPremiumBarber I truly feel bad for you. Stop wasting your time at the $10 chop shop or the new Supercuts, Fellow Barber. This guy can give you a fade better than your bong rips. His scissor work can match any overpriced hair salon in SoHo. If you want someone that is humble, professional and provides a hardcut that you CAN NOT find any reason to hate, this is the barber for you. The Shop: The moment I walked in I was immersed in the elegance of a European minimalist posh aesthetic. I was instantly greeted by a lovely lady asking if I wanted some coffee or water. I ended up taking an espresso, she took my jacket and hung it up for me (well shit, I wasn't ready for that). After I sat down in Rob's chair I got my espresso in a matter of minutes. The aesthetic of the shop is well thought out, the minimalistic feel has a vibe of "Damn... I feel rich", without breaking the bank. That being said, it's welcoming. The way I'm explaining it sounds intimidating, but trust me you need to go to this shop. TREAT YO'SELF. Final thoughts: Rob has finally found a space to show off his skills without any resistance. This shop is a breath of fresh air for him and his clientele. You can go there with confidence knowing will enjoy getting your haircut again. read more

Great atmosphere, great receptionist and really great haircut by Anthony. I will be going back. read more

5 stars for Robert B. @mostpremiumbarber - Check out his IG for a proper education of his master barber skills, as this post will not do him justice. I have been a client of Robert's since 2014 and since I sat down in his chair, no one else has ever touched my hair. He's not just a master barber, he's the most premium men's cut I've ever had. He's an artist, born to manipulate your hair into the style that fits your head and face for the best, without you even having to tell him what to do... he just knows. You'd be missing out if you didn't at least give Robert B the opportunity to turn your look from basic to the next most premium level. The shop itself: Clean, great music, dark manly aesthetic energy, nice hostess. They even offer you water or an espresso when you check-in. I even heard on Thursdays/Fridays they offer whiskey neat to kickstart the weekend vibes. Can't beat it. read more

They bumped me from my fix up the next day so will not be going back. Good while it lasted.

Anthony and Michael were amazing! What a great little spot. We walked right in, they helped us immediately, they were kind and welcoming. Wished we lived here in NY so that I could get my hair cut here every month. read more

I'd follow Anthony anywhere (and have for over 10 years)! But Chaps & Co is a really great place...elegant and immaculate with a friendly vibe and staff. Anthony is a fantastic stylist who is not only a pro with men's hair but a go-to for women's short styles as well. read more

This is the best barbershop in Manhattan in my opinion. It's a very classy place, beautifully designed. Robert is my barber. He's incredible and the other staff are great! I have followed Robert here from his previous place. He's definitely the best barber in Manhattan! read more

Anthony is the best. I have been getting my haircut by Anthony since 2015 and I have never, ever, gotten up out of the chair feeling anything less than completely happy and pumped about my hair. It's hard to find someone that just gets it. They get what you want, they get what would look good, and they get it right consistently every time you go - That is Anthony. On top of that he's just a really nice guy. You can't go wrong with Anthony. read more

Lucky for me, I happened upon Chaps&Co, while visiting New York recently . Franco is a real talent. I can't remember the last time I liked a haircut from the moment I walked out of the place, and continued to weeks later. Or the last time I received compliments like "the best haircut you've ever had." Makes me wonder what they thought of my hair before. I'll be back! read more

Usman did an incredible job! Used to live in Russia and that's kind of service I used to get there! highly recommended!

Anthony does such an excellent job-- from beard trim, shave, and hair cut, he's very good at what he does. Super welcoming, and great customer service experience, too! Thanks Anthony & team read more

Robert is the absolute master of cuts. They don't call him The Most Premium Barber for nothing. I get a ton of compliments after I get a cut from Robert. I highly recommend him. read more

Showed a photo of what i wanted. Grew out my hair so i could get that look, barber ended up cutting 3/4ths of my hair off plus a terrible fade. Did not get what i wanted at all even after telling him multiple times what i wanted and even showing him photos. Just go somewhere else read more

Many barbers can cut your hair, but very few take the time to cut and style your hair the way you want or need it to be. Eva did an awesome job, and a funny person to talk too while I'm enjoying the service. The head wash is amazing as well. 10/10 definitely recommend! read more

Just completed my first visit, and I'm thoroughly impressed! Anthony was top notch and performed beyond expectations. I had a pretty unruly beard going and gave him free reign to make me look presentable again and he certainly delivered! I will be back read more

Highly recommend this barber shop, especially the stylist Anthony. I've been going to him for 6 years now and he never disappoints! Super clean and open interior at this shop, and the people at the desk are very friendly and offer you a drink upon arrival. Great spot! read more

I have been using anthony for a few years now. I am very picky about my hair. its long, and I have had a really tough time getting a good cut that looks good at literally dozens of hair salons, barbers..you name it. I go here because Anthony works here, and he's awesome and worth every cent. Check him out!!! read more

Best barber shop in town!! Got a haircut Monday morning, staff was so attentive, the place was amazing and sparkling clean, and my barber Robert was in his element!!!!! I totally recommend it! read more
