After yesterday, I don't think I'll be using my old barber anymore! Alex stopped to confirm what I wanted a few times, a little more here, some there, and then eventually we got it. He's not much of a talker, which is completely fine by me - but he's quick and he's good. See you again sometime soon, Alex!

In this case, I knew I was giving Well Kept the full five before I was out of the chair. From the second you walk in, you get a perfect (and very difficult to find) balance of barbershop and salon. The place is energized yet relaxed and welcoming. Each station is clean and organized to the extent that their tools of the trade are displayed - not stored - to let you know you are about to sit in the chair of a craftsmen. The banter between the guys is true barbershop style but always respectful (it seemed with purposeful consideration to the client's ear and Well Kept being a place of business, opposed to the typical barbershop where you might be the one paying, but there is no mind given to what is said in your presence). And it is that banter that lets you know this isn't a shop where guys are just renting out chairs. They're a team with Ruben at the head, all focused on customer satisfaction and the success of the business, with great pride in the work they do. So no surprise that every customer - male and female - I saw during my 1.5-hrs there walked out beaming. I usually give my recommendation to try out a place, especially when it comes to helping keep local small businesses running. When it comes to Well Kept, I'm asking you to please give Ruben and his team of highly talented artists your patronage. You will be in the best of hands and come out looking + feeling your absolute best.

The shop offers a variety of services for men, women, and children, along with on-site activities to keep you entertained if you need to wait. I also love the community involvement and the events they host throughout the year. Definitely a neighborhood staple.

Check the cheat sheet of cuts and prices (on the wall or in the photos)- when it's clear what you want, it's what you get! I wanted a typical conservative cut (the sides short and top parted), but without the electric razor, which is a scissor cut- no problem, and the prices are on par, so no issues. While cutting he confirmed that yeah the top would have to get just a little bit off (hey I accept the fact there is less up there than there was 10 years ago), but he managed to put a bit of an updated style in, which I can easily get into form each day. Aron takes pride in the quality of his shop and cuts- I will be back.

This is a true classic New York barber shop, the walls are covered in old photos and all the guys are awesome. Getting a haircut in this place is like a cut scene outta an old movie. The conversation is great these guys are real classic New Yorkers, it's great to see. Reminds me of the barber shop I went to as a child. I always get my haircut by Steven, gives me a great fade and beard trim every time never disappointed and for a fair price. To many Barbers now are obsessed with all this dumb stuff you see online and haircuts end up taking an hour not here, this places gets you in and out without Sacrificing quality. Would highly recommend.
