True professionals, among the best. The barber I usually go to was closed today, and I needed a last minute haircut. I went to another, nearby barbershop and the results were a total disaster. Completely botched my hair (a fade), and I was left trying to figure out what to do next. I saw the review of "Levels" on Google, and decided to give them a shot. Turns out this was the right/best move. Immediately upon stepping in, I received a warm welcome and felt right at home. Extremely comfortable environment for me as a first time customer. I explained my situation and was instantly reassured that they could undo the damage. Based on their confidence, I was immediately put at ease and knew they meant it. AND I was a walk-in, where otherwise I know the demand via appointment is very, very high here. I got my haircut from Earl. This man has been in the business for almost 30 years - and it shows. I would describe him as a professional artist dedicated to his craft who has finely honed his skills and become a master at it. He quickly and expertly fixed my destroyed haircut, and was very personable throughout. After he was done, I explained my current barber situation and how I routinely went to another shop. No problem - Earl understood where I was coming from and in true professional form, thanked me for coming and let me know I was welcome anytime anyways. I will keep this in mind as I try to help promote their business to everyone I know. Service, cleanliness, atmosphere, price: 5 stars across the board. Highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. read more

A few months ago my son's barber became ill and can no longer take clients. Since then I have taken my son to a few local places but have been disappointed with all of them. I found Levels online and really liked reading about the barbers, the owners and their business story. I called the New Windsor location and spoke to a very nice woman. She took the time to listen to me and answer all of my questions and I had a very good feeling about her. Later that day, I took my teenage son there. The woman I had spoken to was there and was in the middle of cutting a gentleman's hair, so we sat down to wait. We had a very nice conversation while she cut the gentleman's hair and both my son and I took an immediate liking to her. She told us to call her "Pinky". When it my son's turn, Pinky really took her time and listened to what my son wanted. We showed her a photo which was kind of difficult to see detail, but let me tell you, she really got it right!! Pinky was AMAZING! It was exactly what he wanted. Pinky is a sweet, patient and really TALENTED woman. When I saw my son's smile as he looked in the mirror, I knew he was finally happy with his hair. I am so glad we found Pinky and Levels Barbershop.!!Thank you Thank you Thank you!! read more

My daughter, Jae, had her hair cut into a teeny Afro at the beginning of the summer by a stylist at my hair salon. Last week, she decided that she wanted a specific haircut and asked me to find a barbershop to take her to. Well, I am the mother of three girls and never had to look for a barbershop, much less a skilled barber who would know what Jae wanted to do with her hair. I received several recommendations in the area from friends, but I was drawn to Levels basically because the mother who recommended it always had her son's hair well groomed. She recommended that I consult with April at Levels Barbershop. Well, my expectations were exceeded. April was very patient and understood what Jae wanted, as she tried to explain (uncertain of the correct terminology). As April was cutting Jae's hair, she gave her tips on maintenance, routines,etc. Jae walked out of Levels totally satisfied. April was able to give her the exact haircut that she wanted and it looked good! I'm highly recommending Levels. The atmosphere was comfortable, the other barbers seemed to be pleasing their customers and most of all, April's skills were impeccable and the overall service she provided was excellent. read more

April does her thing all day, er' day. I go to set looking proper, even the hair and make-up people are like, "you look good, your all set..."that's cause April does all the heavy lifting for them to get me lookin' so so pretty. The shop is great, the atmosphere is fun, professional, and I always feel like I'm with family when I'm there; not the kind of family members you have to invite to a wedding, Thanksgiving or Christmas that you got guilted into inviting because your Momma says it ain't right even though they never bring anything except that nasty cheese and pepperoni platter from the supermarket then got nerve to pull out tupperware so they can "take some home"...sorry about that...I love Levels and I ain't never going anywhere else!!! Great for kids and adults, and you if love good people, love a good haircut, and love looking good...you'll love Levels. read more

For yrs. I've heard so much about Levels Barber Shops and it's reputation of providing exceptional grooming skills and great quality haircuts. So much I finally broke down and stepped into one of the Levels Shops and sure enough I was blown away from the moment I walked through the doors. The shop appearance was nice and clean. It felt very welcoming and warming. I was greeted with a smile and a welcome to Levels how can we help you. I got a neck taper as well as my eyebrows done. I left out very happy and satisfied with the service that was provided. The Barbers were professional and knowledgable I felt confident and content. Definitely will be passing along my experience and their name. LEVELS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I've been in New York for about 7 months and I was looking for a barbershop nearby that I could call home and that not only knew how to cut hair but took pride in their craft and Levels is definitely that place. The staff is professional and polite. I get my haircut by MastaFadeaWon who everyone calls Fadea and I never leave without the freshest of haircuts. I get multiple compliments every week refuse to get haircuts from anyone else. They keep the place clean and the also have refreshments for purchase for the customers. Fadea and the other barbersh are also teachers willing to teach anyone willing to learn. Try them out, give them a call and set up your appointment. read more

I went into Levels pre-nyc pride in DIRE need for a haircut. Haircuts can be a stressful time due to committing to a style and finding a comfortable environment. When I walked into Levels, that establishment was very clean and look well put together. I was greeted by Miss April and she took care of me. Like, took care of me. We had a great conversation about different topics of life all while she diligently worked on my hair. It was an experience like no other. It has to be my best experience at a barber shop to date. And of course the haircut was amazing. The following day at the NYC Pride Parade, a boy got so many compliments! read more

I love this barbershop so much. Everyone is friendly and make you feel welcomed plus the skill of barbering here is just amazing. I was worried moving up from Chicago "how good the haircuts would be?" But my man Cassim who is described as The Master Fader really knows how to make a guy look fresh. He's been mastering his craft for over 30 years and been a barber teacher for 11 years, this is the guy you want to get an appointment with if you want an amazing cut. He will always be my favorite Barber. read more

To see master fader schedule an appointment because he books up quick. Always professional and my cut is always perfect. read more

Been searching for a new barber shop for a number of years. Found it the day I walked into Levels and found my new family barber in the process, KYRA. She's licensed, super professional and takes extreme pride in her craft as a barber. After the first haircut I knew I found my new barber with full confidence my son and I will always have a fresh clean cut. 6 haircuts later (and more in the future) I know I made the right choice sitting in her chair. As would anyone else. read more

I have taken my two boys here a couple times. The name levels fits this place, because the barber's here are on a completely different level. Upon entering the shop the atmosphere is friendly and open, the barber's are outstanding in their craft and make you feel like an old friend. If you are looking for a barbershop that not only excels at their work but interacts with their customers and care about you looking and feeling your best... This is the place to go!! read more

Finally LEVELS BARBERSHOP has arrived in New Windsor, NY!!! My son has been going to Levels Barbershop all of his life.
