Davyboii cut my hair at Patsy's, but he has now opened up his own shop. I will be getting my hair cut here now. He is a master barber. I live in California but come out to the Albany area every couple of months or so. The first thing I do after getting off the plane (I'm not joking) is go to Davyboii for a haircut. I've tried a half dozen carefully researched barbers out in the Bay Area since moving, but even the most highly reviewed barbers out there did not come close to what Davyboii brings to the table. This dude kills it. So I now hold off on haircuts until I can come out to Albany. They're that good. Before Davyboii, I would get haircuts and wonder "is this a good haircut?" (I imagine many other people have had that experience). I have difficult hair to cut. I would expect to have to wait a few days or more for my hair to grow out before I thought it looked good. I would avoid looking in the mirror until then. I thought that's just what haircuts are like. But Davyboii cut my hair for the first time, I realized what I had been missing out on. Now I don't wonder if my haircut looks good, I don't wish I had different hair. I don't have to wait for my hair to grow out a couple of days, and I don't have to avoid looking at my hair in the mirror. This is what a truly great haircut is supposed to be like, and everyone deserves to have one (life is too short not to have the haircut you want). This guy is really smart and I always leave my haircut having learned more about what makes a haircut a quality one. It makes me better at describing what I want, and the result is I get the exact haircut I want. This haircut is also incredibly inexpensive. In NYC or the Bay Area, a haircut this good would likely cost 40+ dollars. It's awesome walking away from Davyboii's with your hair and wallet feeling great. Truly 10/10. read more

In search of a solid cut in the Albany area?  Davy is the man you want to see. Professional, observant, pleasant and proficient - I started seeking a haircut from Dave's set of dragon clippers (you'll see when you get in the chair) a couple of years ago when he was still operating out of the Patsy's Barbershop location.  When I found out that he left to open up his own place I, along with a number of other customers (from the look of the other available reviews), began an investigation to find out where my favorite barber had gone.  Wondering why?  This man gives a haircut with a degree of precision that rivals Steve Harvey's famous style circa 2004.  On point. When he sets to work, you quickly get the notion that Davy takes pride and enjoyment in what he does.  Unless you instruct him otherwise, you'll leave with an unquestionably smart and stylish haircut. It should be said that, if you're anything like me, the prospect of a deep conversation isn't necessarily what you're looking for when going to a barbershop.  Dave reads each client from the moment they walk in and provides just the right of talk per person.  I don't think I could fully appreciate the value of this until I experienced it. Anyway - support your local barber.  This guy knows what he's doing and has prices that are invariably reasonable.  I don't doubt he has the capacity to cut all types of hair.  The new location may be a little tricky to pinpoint if you haven't been out to Latham, yet.  Just cruise slow (its a relatively high mph zone) and you should get there just fine. Don't forget to mention the name 'Paul' for 0% off of your next haircut.  Cheers. read more

The best barber ever met in Albany, NY recommended 100%. Very kind, professional and listens carefully what you want. I liked so much his own techniques that I never met to make the best hear cut for you. He is so committed to make his work very well. Something that catched my attention was the excellent hygiene he give to his work tools. Without any doubt the best Barber ever met. Thanks for waiting for me yesterday at nigh and make an excellent job without running even when you were closing in 20 minutos. Awesome man. You are an artist!!. I will be back without any doubts. Si eres latino cómo yo y buscas por un buen corte de pelo en Albany, NY, no le dé más vueltas al asunto y ve a visitar esta barbería. El man es muy amable, escucha con atención que corte de pelo querés que te haga, yo le mostré una foto de lo que quería y fué suficiente, es bastante higiénico con el uso de sus máquinas, cuchillas, etc. Usa unas técnicas muy suyas para cortar el pelo que de seguro te van a gustar, dejando un corte muy pulido y que notas al final la calidad del trabajo. Tenés que ir parcero. 100% recomendado. Lo otro es que la ubicación es bastante central así que si no tienes auto tienes muchas opciones para llegar. Gracias Davyboii The Barber!! Volveré pronto read more

Finding a good barber is very difficult. I've had my hair cut at plenty of places over the years, but this was the best hair cut I've had in my entire life. Dave was an awesome guy: he has "the gift of gab" as they say. He detailed all the ways I could wear my new cut and wow has everyone loved it. I haven't felt so good about getting my haircut in, well, ever. This is my new permanent place to go. He's more than worth a shot for you if you've ever left a barber shop wondering if it came out ok or not. I am so pleased that I felt that I needed to write this review (I don't write reviews). Even if you're happy with where you go, I still think you should try Dave, because his knowledge is superb. He really understands how to cut your hair to get the best style for you. He can do any cut or shave, and it's awesome to leave his place feeling like you can take on the world! read more

Five stars doesn't do justice to Davyboiis the barber! From the moment you step into his shop, you're greeted with warmth and a vibe that's just unbeatable. Davy's skills with the clippers are unmatched - whether it's a precise haircut or a perfectly styled beard trim, he's a master of his craft. But what sets him apart is his personality; he's not just a barber, he's a friend. The atmosphere in his shop is always lively and welcoming, making each visit an experience to look forward to. If you're looking for top-notch haircuts, unbeatable beard trims, and a genuinely cool shop to hang out in, Davyboiis is the place to be! read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Dave for almost 2 years. He just opened up his own shop. Go out and support this small business owner and you won't be disappointed in the cut or the humor. I originally met Dave when he worked at Patsy's Barber shop in downtown Albany. I had tried a few barbers there, and was disappointed with all the cuts, every time, until Dave started cutting my hair. I live in downtown Albany, and the convenience of Patsy's location was great. But trust me when I say the 20 minute drive to Cohoes is worth it. read more

I've had trouble finding a good barber in this area for a long time, but I think I've finally found the place. Davy's barbershop was a great experience for me. Davy was extremely friendly, and gave me a nice clean cut. Throughout the process, he informed me of the problems that previous barbers had done on my hair, and gave me some tips for when I go to other barbers (I go to school in New York City so this will be helpful). I highly recommend checking out this barbershop, and will definitely come back in the future. read more

I like the classic haircut and have been searching for a good barber in the Albany area since moving to Albany in 02/2016. Dave, the sole barber and owner of this shop gave me one of the finest haircuts I have had in my 24 years of life. He patiently listens to every detail you ask and fulfills each and every one of them to perfection. There's a haircut, and then THERE's A HAIRCUT!!! He is meticulous and a true expert in the field of hair cutting. This barber has a rare eye for hair styling. read more

Not just a great barber, but a great and interesting guy. He gives a stellar cut - best one I've had in decades - and he's real interesting to listen to. He talks about raising his son and the challenges with that and it's just hard not to like the guy. I like hearing him recount his younger days (with a gleam in his eye) back in the early 90s in the Bronx when he was connected to the music scene down there. I leave there not only with a great cut but just an upbeat mood. read more

Dave is the best barber I have ever been to. His attention to detail is unmatched, and he knows exactly how to cut hair the way you want it to look. He has so much knowledge and skill to make even tricky hair doable. I've never liked a haircut more, and I was amazed my friends even complimented on my haircut. Guys complimenting guys on their hair? You know it has to be good. Thanks again Dave, you have a customer for life! read more

After reading about Davyboii in the Gazette best of the best he was #1 and seeing his 5star reviews on Facebook Google and Yelp I decided to give him a try....he IS what they say be IS...Hair cut is outta this world including a hot towel shave on the neck and let's not forget to mention his cheery personality and how he makes you feel like a person and not just another customer.

This Guy.....He is the best Barber I have ever been too I can honestly say he deserves to be rated number one in the country, I have had my fair share of barbers and this guy is legit! He is very good at what he does, he is professional, listens to what you want, offers advice, talks to you like a human and not just another customer. I will for sure be back for the rest of my life! read more

Service and value are almost as impeccable as the quality of haircut Dave gives. When I get a compliment on my appearance, I can only wonder if I've entered an alternate universe, but I got complimented, Thank you Dave. The BEST.....oh, and I love the music, always perfectly tasteful. If you're within 100 miles, this should be your new barber, seriously, you won't regret it. read more

Great place - Dave was a real pleasure to get a haircut from and is a super nice guy. He described what he was doing and was able to correct the effects of some past cuts from other barbers. He really knew what he was doing and explained things clearly. After having difficulty finding a decent barber in the area after moving here not too long ago, I think I've found the place. read more

I took my 4 year old son to get a haircut here and the owner was so sweet and great with him! My normally squiggly son was too distracted talking with David that he got the cutest haircut and looked so handsome he came back with a "girlfriend" from school today. I will absolutely bring him back here forever. Thank you so much for being so great with children!!! read more

Davy Boii is a tremendous barber and has a great chair-side manner. Great at determining what you want and explains how he gets there. I'm new at growing /styling beard and Davy is fantastic at arriving at what my needs/wants have been since I started utilizing his services. I highly recommend him at his new Latham/Cohoes location!!! read more

Met Dave over at Patsys downtown Albany, an already prestigious location. He climbed the ladder and got his own spot, hands down one of the best barbers in the capital region. He doesn't turn off the buzzer until everything is 100. Highly recommended if you want a cut thats in style & guaranteed to get you some positive attention. read more

Sharp haircut, excellent service with focus on old school tradition. Never had my hair cut by a person with a finer attention to detail and love of his craft. He is the kind of barber you go to for life and one day bring your kid(s) to. Very happy he came to the area. Across from Guptill's. Make it a point to pay him a visit. read more
