Lana is lovely and gives high quality cuts at a reasonable price. I highly recommend.

In a word, WONDERFUL! [Just discovered reviews must be a minimum of 85 characters long, so I'll add that the price is very reasonable.}

Lana has been a staple of the neighborhood for over a decade. She handles every cut with the same expertise, friendliness, and reliability. Her place is one of the last vestiges of old-school, New York haircutting - no frills, no expensive shampoos for sale. Just good, clean, affordable cuts. And isn't that all anyone really needs? Go see her. You won't be sorry. read more

Wow what a great haircut! I've been going every couple months for three years now and never had a bad cut. She is not on autopilot - she listens to what you want and offers suggestions. Friendly and focused - that's why I keep going back. Also I like supporting local businesses. read more

I had to stop going. Just too negative.. she said business was terrible the neighborhood was worse just a barrage of everything is bad. Good haircut, good price just didn't need the bad vibes. read more

Lana is the best haircutter in Carroll Gardens- Period, end of discussion!! I started going to Lana as soon as I moved to the neighborhood and I'm so glad I did. Not only are her prices so reasonable, but she does a great job at styling and cutting my hair. She is always easy to book and I am normally able to get an appointment the same day or the next. Aside from all that, she is a great person who you will enjoy conversing with while you're getting your haircut. 10/10! read more

I love my new haircut! I've walked past this barber shop plenty of times since moving to the neighborhood, and today I decided to stop in for a trim. There were a couple of customers ahead of me so I made an appointment and returned at the chosen time. Lana took great care of me, explaining each step and asking me my opinion. She worked quickly and efficiently. In no time at all I had been reborn. Everything was hygienic and sanitary, and I felt safe. $22 for a men's haircut is very reasonable, and a lot cheaper than what you'd be paying a mile up the road. Lana earned my highest recommendation and you should definitely get your next haircut from her. read more

Lana did a super fast and beautiful cut for my toddler. Who has pretty wild, untamed curly hair (that I also didn't want to lose as its such a part of his personality). She was wonderful and did a super modern cut that maintained his wild hair and spirit. Her shop's awesome toys and nat geo programming also helped :) read more

Best barber shop anywhere near Carroll Gardens. Absolute staple of this neighborhood for decades, love Lana and Lena, and they give some fantastic cuts. Couldn't recommend more! read more

Lana is the queen of the neighborhood. This place is an establishment. The haircut is great, and so are the prices.

Lana gives the best haircut in the neighborhood. Trust me, I've tried them all. Lana is the only one who consistently matches the quality of a high end haircut at the much more reasonable standard neighborhood rate. read more

I had been cutting my own hair for a year and the results were not pretty. So I went to search for a barber who could do a great job with rehabbing a chopped up haircut. The barbershop had to be close, small, with few customers and woman friendly. So I got on Yelp and thank you fellow Yelpers!! You helped me to find Lana and she ticked all the boxes. Small barbershop, good COVID precautions, not too far away. Now about my haircut: It is excellent! Short and stylish and random people keep complimenting me. Lastly, Lana is so very skilled that the haircut took very little time. This is my new go-to barber. Lastly, the shop is on the same block as Mazzola's Bakery so I was able to get some excellent biscotti. read more

Lana is a wonderful cornerstone of the Cobble Hill neighborhood. Visiting her barber shop is walking into a comforting, friendly place. She always has a smile. I personally have thick, wavy hair, and have struggled to find a barber who can get the right look for me, but I've always had a fantastic hair cut and styling from Lana. She's really, genuinely gifted at what she does. read more

Lana's Barber Shop - Another happy customer (me). Thanks, Lana - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Just moved to the neighborhood. Lana was great. She was able to accommodate my friend and I for two walk-in haircuts. We were both happy with our cuts. We will definitely be back. read more

First off, I am going to preface this review by explaining that Lana did not cut my hair. I saw the job she did on another customer though, and it looked amazing. She also seemed to have great rapport with him, and this review is not a reflection of her work. It's a reflection of my experience in the establishment. I was assigned to Lana's associate. I just went in for a touch up and beard trim, nothing complicated. The associate was rude and barely understood my directions, I ended up with an uneven mustache and beard, and tons of stray hairs on my neck. I had to go home and finish it myself. Additionally, I believe there was a homophobic element at play, since I explained I was in the neighborhood because my boyfriend lives nearby. This seemed to color her reaction towards me in a significant fashion after it came up. As much as I like supporting neighborhood establishments, and Lana herself seems great, I don't plan on returning. read more

I had an amazing time at Lana's Barbershop. Didn't have to wait, been there for 45 Minutes, got a haircut, recommendations for several Restaurants and Bakeries as well as the History of the neighborhood:) Lovely experience! The haircut itself was really good, 15$ and customized to my liking. Couldn't be happier, thanks Lana! read more

If you live in Carroll Gardens, forget about spending $40 or more on a haircut on Smith Street or in the city. Lana's barber shop is the heart of the neighborhood. I guarantee if you give it a try, you'll leave with a great haircut, and probably a hilarious story or two from the neighborhood characters who regularly drop in on the place. I find it very easy to communicate with Lana about how I'd like my hair cut, and she does a great job. She is easygoing and a lot of fun to talk to, and she spends quality time with each customer. I'm always happy with my haircut. This place is a neighborhood gem, and Lana is a delight. Try it out! read more

Lana's really nice and I was happy with my haircut. She's been in that same shop for at least 15 years and is a great source of info about the neighborhood. When I was there, someone walked in whose hair she's been cutting for that amount of time. She can tell you all the best restaurants and pointed me in the direction of Farmacy for an egg cream soda and Eton for dumplings. She even had a menu for me to take! I'll be back if I am back in the neighborhood read more

Wow! I finally discovered BEST barber shop in this neighborhood. Affordable men hair cut offer only 15$ and extremely thoughtful service at the same time. Lana(the owner) said business have been +24 years at the same spot and they're still doing great! Please try this barber shop, you won't regret. read more

Lana is the best. I wait way too long in between haircuts and she always gives it to me straight ("It looks like you have a small animal on your head") and then always gets it right, giving me a near-perfect cut every time. I am one of those guys that hates every haircut he gets, even an $80 one... but I am always pleased with Lana. She does a great job, cuts it right and, more importantly, talks to you about your options ("cut it shorter in the back please"... "okay, but it's going to stick straight up.") Oh yeah, and it's $14. I give her $20 and call it even because I do not want her going out of business ever. She is a blessing in Brooklyn for everyone, not just those of us on a budget. read more

Lana KNOWS how to cut hair! I'm an actor, so my livelihood depends on how I look. I want something versatile, fairly hip and easy to manage and she can do whatever I've wanted. Lana is super nice, quick, consistent and gave me probably the best hair cut I've had in this city for a third of the price I used to pay at fancier places where you'd pay $50 and up. The shop is unassuming on the outside, but don't let it fool you. The hair cut she gave me was awesome and modern. I will not and have not had my haircut anywhere else! You can't go wrong here. Not to mention, Lana is a Cobble Hill institution and one of the few remaining small businesses toughing it out in an ever more expensive area. www.JayDunn.co read more

Lana was really nice and gave a great haircut. At multiple points she asked if it looked right, and held a mirror for me to check out the cut. She was super fast, but everything is neat and even. I'll definitely be back. read more

I needed a shave I had a health issue that made my arms freeze up Lana was excellent she explained why she had to leave it less smooth than I expected. She saved me from myself and a razor burn. I was not ready for a haircut just yet however I am trying her out for that today. Lana has been there for 20 years she knows her customers and her business. In reading the review of the guy who was too tall for the chairs and his complaint of them not being able to move and his neck being pulled? Really? Get over it Rainman! Seriously work together adapt and move on besides a shave and a haircut in Manhattan for $10 good luck with that infection from a dirty blade. I have been going to the barber for nearly 50 years I have seen good bad and indifferent Lana is very good at her craft. read more

From the very first time I walked through the door of Lana's barber shop I've walked out with a perfect haircut every single time since. I've now been coming here for three years. My hair being very thick and stubborn to cut, Lana impressed me by giving me the best haircut I've ever gotten the very first time around without me having to give her much input. If you ask me, that is someone who truly knows their trade. Lana's feel and sense for hair and what looks good on whom is nothing short of incredible. I will always come back here for my haircut because knowing I can sit back and let Lana do her thing without worrying about the result is very valuable to me. Sincerely, Jan G. read more

The only thing stopping me from leaving a 5-star rating is that this shop is CASH only. A bit inconvenient, but other than that great local business. I am rather new to the area, and Lana could not have been more welcoming. It is usually very difficult for me to try out a new barber, but Lana's easy going and upbeat attitude helped calmed my nerves. Very happy with the results, and she is dog friendly! I was also only charged an additional 2$ to clean up my beard which is unheard of in my experience. Overall, great experience, great haircut, and I will be sure to return without hesitation in the future. read more

Awesome barber shop with old school charm ....Lana is a perfectionist as well as so caring and fun to chat with . Also gives an amazing old fashioned shave that brings you back to the 1940's. An institution in Brooklyn !. read more

Absolutely excellent haircuts, with complete attention to any instruction that you ask Lana to follow. She is a totally skilled, sensitive haircutter. Equally superb with adults (me) or children (mine). She's also as nice as could be, and prices are extremely reasonable. read more

I've been going here for about 5 years. Lana's a pro with the scissors and very friendly, my haircut is always great, and the price is quite affordable. Nice and simple walk in business, cash only. It's in a nice stretch of Cobble Hill and feels like a neighborhood institution. read more

While Lana is very friendly and welcoming, the haircut she gave me was not very good. It was uneven in many areas with one side in the back buzzed shorter than the other. Not a good look. I needed to correct what I could at home. Also the brushes, clippers etc all looked very dirty. Could see hair in the brushes from previous customers which was a turnoff. read more

Growing up in a suburb of Philadelphia, one of the iconic things from my youth was going to a neighborhood barbershop. It was a source of stories, advice, and a neighborhood gathering spot. Once I moved to NYC at the age of 17 for college, I felt I lost that feeling. I went to multiple barbers, many cold, business like, and unable to truly cut hair. I stumbled upon Lana's place while walking home from work. The moment I entered, she greeted me with a warm smile and told me to grab a seat. My hair is a simple affair, straight, but thick. Problem I had run into with barbers from the past is none of them used straight scissors, but just electric razors. Lana immediately realized that I wasn't a fan of electric razors, and demonstrated her craft with the scissors. With a mix of high conversational energy and deft work with her scissors, I found myself reliving my youth. Having my hair cut by her was just an extremely relaxing and fun experience. She's been a neighborhood staple for years, very knowledgable about the people and the places around her. Her prices are way lower than the high end salons that line Smith Street (She charged my $15 for a regular haircut), and she's highly skilled at her craft. Also she's a big fan of herbal and natural hair products, and gives great suggestions about what to use for certain hair types. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of her partner who also cuts there, but as per Lana, if she cannot accomodate your style or special requests, her partner can. I've now been going to her for the past 3 years, and even though I've moved to Astoria, I still make it a point to have my hair cut there. She's worth every star. read more

Lana is a relic from a less pretentious time and her prices reflect that. You will get sincere conversation, the haircut you want (bring a picture) and you can buy an entire case of beer on the way home with the money you will save. I'm amazed there aren't lines out the door... read more

Lana is a pro. This is the barber shop patronized by the old guys in the neighborhood. Now you know why they all have excellent haircuts. Excellent value and the location can't be beat. read more

Lana is wonderful! You can't get a better (men's) haircut for the money.

Lana is extremely friendly and gives the best cuts. Don't let the low price here fool you- quality is amazing. The location is easy to get to and has all the products you will need for your hair. read more

Lana did a fantastic job! It's walk in only, but I only waited about 5 minutes for her to finish up the other customer. She was very friendly and we talked about the neighborhood, where she's had her shop for 25 years. She cut it exactly as I wanted. And very inexpensive, too! read more

Fantastic cut every time. Lana's the best. Came into the shop after six months out of the country and she remembered me even though I'd only been there twice before (in the span of a year). A reminder that not every neighborhood business has been pushed out of this hood! read more

This place is the best in the neighborhood. $15, solid service and Lana is a gem. Couldn't be happier with my haircuts there.

Best haircut I've ever had. Not much else to say. Save yourself the time and money and go to Lana. She does a superb job and at an unbeatable price. Zero Complaints. read more

I love this place. Great local business.
