    C Q.

    PLEASE UPDATE YOUR HOURS. I would like to say that I had a great experience here. Any experience would have been nice. I tried to call to make sure they were open, but even without getting someone to pickup the call I took a chance. Oh well maybe next time.

    This barber shop is a Riverdale classic. I have been a patron for nearly 35 years and feel a sense of nostalgia every time I walk in. It is located in the heart of South Riverdale and brings a sense of the "way things were" to the neighborhood. As new franchises, such as Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts, swallow up the neighborhood, the Johnson Avenue Barber Shop is a nice escape. It's classic feel will make you feel at home, while its clientele will also keep you entertained during your wait. The owner, Vinny, was hired in mid-to-late 90's by then owner, Tony. Vinny has since engrained himself in the neighborhood while climbing the ladder and taking over ownership of the shop. Vinny is very engaging and can always be found at the shop ready to talk sports (Yankees, Knicks, Rangers) while giving an A+ haircut or shave. His ties to the neighborhood have grown deeper and deeper throughout the years and it is reflected through the shops customers. The clientele of the shop is as loyal as loyal can be and the "regulars" certainly add to the atmosphere. Many of my family and friends grew up getting their hair cut at the shop and now bring their children in. Please do yourself a favor and stop in the next time you are looking for a top notch haircut. It is a fantastic throwback and you will thank yourself for the experience.

    Friendly attention

    Vinny did a great job cutting my son's hair. He listened to what he wanted, made him feel very comfortable, and sent him out looking good!

    I'm happy with the haircut but the barber was rude to me. There was no wifi and it was warm in there. I'm not coming back again.

    Sending much love to all the barbers at The Shop, esp RALPHIE, who cut my son's hair for almost 10…read moreyears! We miss you guys! Ok - so this is definitely a dude's barber shop. But you know, us mama's got take our lil dudes to keep their hair looking tight. So in I'd come w my boy, and the entire vibe changed in an instant. They did this for every woman who walked in w her son, or any man who came in w an under-age young man. I always, always appreciated that. We were regulars and hence did witness on rare occasions things getting a little "out of hand". It was swiftly dealt w and the barbers always apologized. Ralphie's haircuts were always wonderful. It seemed almost all the customers were regulars. There was low turn over of the barbers and it was always great to hear who got married, who had a new baby, what grade the kids are now in, etc. We miss The Shop so much and have yet been able to find such a wonderful spot!

    I was recently doing some filming in NYC and the project took me to this corner of the North Bronx…read morewhich seemed far from my Yankee Stadium Bronx Comfort Zone. And that's because it was. The summer humidity was doing a number on my hair and on a break I sought a solution even though roaming the neighborhood was perhaps unwise. But I found that solution and so much more at The Shop. While I've not seen the flick "Barbershop" I now know it'd be a waste of my time. The Shop was an experience so authentic that there's no way Hollywood could've got it right. This place is straight hip-hop. For real. _C$
