Finding a barber who actually listens and has a game plan is rare. Too often, I've left a shop…read morepretending to be happy with a cut that missed the mark. Giving Chaps & Co a shot was the best decision I've made for my hair. Ilker is a master of his craft. He took my initial idea--which was a combo of two different hairstyles because I wanted some flexibility--and showed me a few variations, which I really appreciated. You can tell he cuts with incredible focus and purpose, constantly running his fingers through and checking the movement of the hair rather than just grabbing a handful and cutting to cut. The whole experience was incredibly relaxing, and I finally left the chair actually loving the finished product. Found my new go-to!

It had been nearly 15 years since my last trip to New York, so when my wife and I arrived Wednesday…read morefor a getaway and 4th of July celebration, I knew I needed a fresh cut and beard trim. I'm someone who gets his haircut and beard done weekly, and I spent hours researching barbershops on Google, Yelp, and Instagram. That's how I came across Chaps & Co at 230 Park Avenue, and I couldn't have made a better choice. I noticed this location at 230 Park Avenue didn't have any reviews yet, and I knew I would be the first to leave one--which felt important because others need to know about this gem. I was able to book a 10:00 AM appointment for Thursday and arrived about 15 minutes early. My barber, Huseyn, greeted me right away, and we started chatting as if we'd known each other for years. I showed him photos of my haircuts from my regular barbers in Los Angeles and the Bay Area, along with the different styles I've had over time. Right before 10:00 AM, we walked into the shop--which was super clean, ultra-luxurious, and stocked with top-tier products. When I told Huseyn what I wanted, he looked at me and said, "Don't worry, I got you." From there, we kept talking and getting to know each other, sharing stories about our lives. Never once did I question Huseyn or what he was doing--it honestly felt like he had cut my hair many times before, even though it was our first appointment. About halfway through, Huseyn smiled and said, "Man, you weren't joking--your hair is really thick," which I usually take as a good or bad sign with a new barber. In the past, I've had barbers give up or rush through a cut when they realized how much work thick hair can be, but that wasn't the case here. The entire haircut and beard trim took about an hour and a half, which is standard for me, and Huseyn's process and flow were a perfect 10+. He's very mature for his age and shared how hard he worked to earn his spot at Chaps & Co. From what I saw of his skill and attention to detail, I can confidently say Huseyn is hands down the best--or at the very least one of the best--barbers at this shop. We connected on a deeper level, too; we share the same faith and talked about Christianity and what it has done for our lives. His Instagram handle, @barbergotfaith, couldn't be more fitting after hearing his story. After my cut, I told Huseyn I noticed Chaps & Co at 230 Park Avenue didn't have any reviews yet but had a deep history in barbering, and that I had to leave a review even though I was only in town for a quick trip. I've been fortunate in life to experience comfort and luxury, and I'm so thankful I got matched with Huseyn for this visit. When I met up with my wife afterward, she was blown away--she knows my barbers in LA and NorCal well, and she said, "WOW WOW WOW--whoever cut your hair is right up there with the best." I told her I had no idea who was going to cut me and that I just got incredibly lucky. Whether you're a local looking for a new shop, someone without a regular barber, or visiting New York for work or fun and need a haircut or beard trim, I can confidently say Chaps & Co is your shop, and Huseyn is your barber. You will not be disappointed--take it from someone who has been getting weekly cuts and lineups for the last 25 years. Thank you, Huseyn, for the amazing conversation, for making me feel at home, for the sharp cut and lineup, and for getting me right for my stay here in New York. I have no doubt you'll one day have your own barbershop--even though we didn't talk about it, I recognize talent, hard work, and a great personality, and those three things alone will take you far in life. Keep up the amazing work. Until next time, my brother.

Fleischman Salon, where have you been all my life?!…read more Had my first appointment last Saturday with Kait, and I can wait to see her again. Well, in just about four weeks because she asked me to give her five weeks of growth on top of my head to work with. This was the experience that I have been looking for, and it's not the first higher end salon that I've tried. For the first time someone provided analysis and a plan, brilliant! How do you go to a stylist, pay a ton of money and have them ask you what you want to do? I don't know what I want to do, I don't even know what can be done or what looks good or what can work for my hair type, shape of my face and all that. Kait was amazing. She crafted a plan and a week later, I'm happier with this cut then I have been with any I've had in years. The social media marketing may have gotten me in the door, but my satisfaction with the experience and the results will keep me coming back.

Prices aren't cheap, but nowhere is anymore if you want a good haircut. Only bad experience I had was a guy named Oleg here.

Not sure if he was temporary as I know Steve was away, but I kind of tailed off coming and then the pandemic hit which led my company to eliminate the office.
