First and foremost when you walk into the establishment its smells very foul . As if they have very bad plumbing issues . If you have ever used there facilities . Theres no sink !!! How are you supposed to wash your hands ? Gross , then the barbers touch your face . These have to be health code violations!! Shouldn't happen at all . Take care of these of things asap These are standard health codes to follow . fix it read more

This is by far the best barbershop there is, everyone russ has working there is great and I'd let everyone there cut my hair.. russ treats everyone like family and me and my dad always have a great time coming here. read more

A pretty decent barber shop. They're pretty attentive to what customers want with their hair. The price is decent, the service is fast and they're friendly. Pretty clean place. No parking lot, but most barber shops don't provide that so 4 stars it is. Definitely check them out! read more

I have gotten haircuts here in the past it's not the most friendliest place. It's also not the most sanitized place. If you ask to use the bathroom, just know that there is no sink to wash your hands and there is no paper to wipe your hands SMH. The kitchen area is very messy, which is also right next to the bathroom. Do yourself a favor there is a better location on that same block called New look hair & and nail salon they have a great barber called Manny I recommend you get your haircut there you will not regret it read more

So I been passing off this review for a while but now that I got time and not that he needs another 5star here it is. Good cuts is all that matters. I needed a new place in the area since I moved and first stop at this shop I was sold. Been comin here since with my son now and convenient right over the bridge for me. Good location and guys. read more

Came here to gift my boyfriend with a haircut and now I don't want him to go anywhere else! Russ always gives him a dapper cut with the most crisp lines. The prices are definitely worth it. It's a very friendly, family atmosphere with a diverse crowd of all ages. read more

Finally a barber i can trust and get along with. Russ is a very polite friendly dude. He asks questions before he does work. Makes sure you are comfortable. His work on me is very satisfying. Pricing is very fair. The shop itself is big, bright and lots of tvs around. Still a work in progress but shaping up nicely. All around i def recommend this place as i am about 5 mins away. So this shop is a god send ! I have been to many other shops around the area. I have a shop a few blocks away from me but i do not like the place because the dudes who give cuts are mad shady and not polite. They look at me like im a cop or crooked. Very suspect place. Then i went to a barber in glendale. Gave good cuts, was polite and pricing was good BUT all of a sudden when i went back his pricing went up 3 bucks from the last time i saw him, Had nothing different done. Stopped going to that barber. Point here i am trying to make is FOR ME, has been really hard to find a solid trusting friendly area barber. I know some dudes have personal barbers who cut out of there own area of living. If you are like me and feel what i am saying then go to this place and give Russ & Co. a shot. read more

I travel from Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn to Howard Beach to get my hair cut by Russ...enough said. read more

One of the nicest run family businesses on Cross Bay. They do a great job and deserve your business. Got a cut for me and my son today and they are grateful for your business. Took my 86 year old father a year ago and the owner could not have been nicer. read more

So I was looking for a new barber for like 2 years now, but couldn't find a comparable barber to do the job right. My previous barber has been with me since high school and I have been a practicing attorney going on my third year now, so I definitely needed a change from my old ways. My previous barber was not providing to me the care and relaxation one would like when getting a haircut. I was recommended to this barbershop and simply waited in line. When it came to be my turn, man o man, was I impressed with the level of integrity, quality, and ability of the barber. I believe his name was Russ. He took the accurate approach and did not pick up the lawn mower right away (buzzer). He asked, in my opinion, the most accurate question which was a huge indication of how my hair should be cut- "what do you do for a living"? Now, before anyone gets some bright ideas about the exceptions or laughable jokes to that question, by reasonable standard that was an excellent question. I said I am a lawyer. He said, say no more. 20 minutes later, I was like a beautifully trimmed bush on the lawn of some rich house. I was most impressed by his ability to actually cut my hair with scissors and not the buzzer, as an old fashioned would do it. Scissors are a tradesman's' tool exemplifying the mastery level of a barber. Such a level was present at this barbershop. Needless to say, my high school days are over, and a gentlemen - I walked out of there. I while heartedly recommend the barbershop and the people working there. read more

Russ is an artist! My experience at kutting edge barbershop was great, Russ is very particular about getting it done right..never rushing through to get you out.

Just moved into the area and needed to find a new barber. Found this place on yelp, and I decided to stop in. This place is awesome! I was sold after sitting there for 5 mins waiting and getting a feel of vibe and seeing people's haircuts. Russ is the man -- very friendly, welcoming, and quick. He knows everyone by name and knows what he's doing! He clearly has a good team with him too. If I could give Russ and his shop more than 5 stars, I would! read more

Best Barber shop in the neighborhood! Very friendly staff and always available! Come check it out you won't be disappointed!

I have never experienced a worse haircut in my life. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they are new but if you don't know how to cut a certain type of style DON'T! I watched this barber cut my hair and botch it up and tell me my hair was like that. AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU WANT A QUALITY CUT! read more

This barber shop is incredible!! The shop is relatively new, and is kept spotless clean, which is important to me. The chairs are comfortable, and there are plasma tv's everywhere, so I can enjoy the game while I get my haircut. The place is very modern, and the vibe is welcoming. The owner Russ is a super-down-to-earth kind of guy, he's friendly and personable, he even remembered my name after my first visit. The other barbers in the area are rude and pretentious, but you won't find any of that here! The entire team is very skilled, and I'm glad to have finally found my go-to spot. read more

I have been coming here for about a year. They always take care of me and are true professionals! Russ is the man!

Grade 1 Haircut. Would not trust anyone else with my hair. Rus takes his time with each and every customer and works with every request whether big or small. It is very hard to find a person as attentive to detail. I've been going to Rus for a few years now and would recommend him to anyone. I drive an hour each way to Kutting Edge Barber Shop from NYC and will continue to trust in Rus! You should too! read more

One word...RUSS!! He's not only the best barber but a down to earth guy, great with kids, current and easy going. I'm a tough customer and he nails the cut every time. You're in great hands at Kutting Edge!!! read more

Fuhgeddaboudit, Kutting Edge Barber Shop is the best thing to happen to Cross Bay Blvd since New Park!

I've known Russ for years. He's always cut my hair exactly how I wanted. He's the best barber in town, hands down. If you need a haircut, go and see Russ ASAP. Even if you have to come from another borough, it'll be well worth it. Top notch service. Excellent price. Can't be beat. read more

Honestly, I think Ross is the best barber in the area. He's skilled, ridiculously friendly and polite and makes sure you're happy and satisfied. His mum Maria takes care of my eyebrows. She's a pro and has been doing eyebrows for the last 20 years. It's a very lovely boutique- it's clean, has free wifi and free coffee for guests. I encourage everyone to give it a try. Really glad they opened. read more
