The service, quality, vibe, and aesthetic were an exact match from all other reviews and pictures you see online. Of course the service matters the most right? I was able to snag 2 different barbers in my time out here and have had nothing but phenomenal work at Patsys! I'm telling everyone local and anyone heading up here that THIS IS THE PLACE for a cut.

Patsy's, and the Heart of a City The heart of a city doesn't…read morebeat in time to the rhythm of landmarks whose silhouettes are stamped on postcards. Its pulse doesn't shake the shopping centers or the offices or the multitudes they carry. It honors no arrhythmia before the Capitol or the architecture that has grown around it. Because it's often the case that the biggest machine lives and dies not by its most imposing part, but by the smallest pin in its center. It's easy to miss Patsy's Barber Shop if you're weaving through the traffic of State and Pearl. You have to know to take the right onto Howard Street and go slowly enough not to miss the white neon tubing that brightens the shop and casts just enough of its glow onto the sidewalk to let you see the barbers ply their trade. Patsy's opened in 1930 at the cusp of the Great Depression, when a proper haircut was a man's resume and the newspaper on the empty seat was the employment office. It was a family business, like many that had dotted the downtown and further south to the neighborhoods that would eventually be sacrificed to Nelson Rockefeller's sense of grandeur. William "Tragedy" Yager now presides over the memories absorbed into the mirrors and the padded chairs. Since 2006, he's followed in the footsteps of his great grandfather, a man who likely opened up shop as he always did on the day Japanese planes set off for infamy. And anyone who's had a seat in one of his chairs and a hot towel on their face knows that Tragedy didn't just inherit a trade; he inherited a love and a duty to everyone that crosses the threshold. A large man with a long, thick beard and a tapestry of tattoos lining both temples, he wouldn't strike you as a man you would want to meet in a dark alley. But again, the seat, the hot towel, two minutes in conversation, and you'll realize that he's exactly the man you would want to meet in a dark alley if your car broke down, if you were cold, hungry and scared, if everybody passed you by. Because there are certain things you can expect from those possessed of the instinct of leadership. But what you may not expect is that sometimes, the places where matters are truly decided accept walk-ins. Patsy's Barber Shop has two locations, 3 Howard Street in downtown Albany and Room 126 on the Concourse Level. Call for an appointment and check for hours. And be sure to patronize the many barbers Tragedy has trained personally.

He's in the Village of Colonie, Shaker Pine Plaza, corner of Vly and Consaul rds. It was my first time in and Zack really enjoyed showing me his best work. Said he refuses to cut corners. He surprised me by asking if he could clean up my eyebrows. No one has ever asked and they are impressive looking. He only charged $17 bucks, stating he needs to charge a little more soon but he's hesitant due to competitors pricing. He gave me a 25 dollar haircut. That is what I expected to pay. I think he does walk-ins on certain days, and appointments on others. Ample parking, clean modern barbershop, awesome chairs. New equipment. Fresh product. Casual one man operation.

This is a barber shop with barbers who have been cutting hair longer than most others around. Joe, age 84, cut my hair today and it was just how I wanted it. He took the time asked a lot of questions because it was my first time there and it was great. They'll give you exactly what you ask for as long as you tell them, they'll stop along the way and ask you how it's looking, and they care enough to give you a great haircut for $10-15 less than the place down the street. You can buy a lot more beer and coffee with the money you save here and get a great haircut too!! In the plaza behind the Fresh Market and across from Burger King you'll find the Siena Barbershop since 1964. Walk-ins are welcome and it's cash only. There is an ATM inside if you forgot cash.

It's a pleasure to watch her work, and we've never had a bad cut from her. I particularly appreciate the ease with which she works with my younger child, who was previously nervous and very anxious about having his hair cut, but who has bonded with her in a way that puts him completely at ease. He's even *asked* to come get his hair cut, which is new. Her colleague cut my other kid's hair and did an outstanding job, clearly adjusting to his head and his personality as he went. Five stars to both of them. The new digs are in the old weird giftshop that was here, and having seen that, I appreciate how nicely it's been fixed up. It's simple, long bowling-alley style, small waiting area in front and the barber chairs down one side. They keep the TV on the DIY channels, which is excellent (I really dislike having news channels thrust upon me when at the barber's). Cash only, but they have lollipops!
