Friendly staff and I think the owner is Steve and Brian styled my hair professionally. They are so friendly and felt good with my cut. Will definitely come back. Price is reasonable. I would call ahead for an appointment but I think you can walk in as well. The ambiance is relaxing with some chill music in the back. I love all the stickers to wonder around when sitting there for a cut. I would say I felt intimidated with the outside but just give it a try. It is probably one of the best experiences I had. read more

Slava is the best barber with excellent attention to detail! My son comes here too, and he always make him feel comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

Came to this place after checking the reviews on Yelp. Casey shaved my beard , she did a great job was very patient and attentive to my requests . Will definitely comeback . Thank you read more

I came here again because I loved how my hair was done the last time I came. This time, I decided to do the undercut, where the left side of my head is shaved. Casey did such a great job because this type of hairstyle is always risky to do, and not everyone can get it right. I will definitely be coming back again to keep up with the style. Thank you! read more

Geat place,clean cheap but good hair cut with small time I really like the way it looks

I've been coming here for years and Im finally hopefully helping them out with this. The cutting room is a amazing barber shop and I highly recommend it. It is literally the only barber shop I have ever made appointments with just to get a chair with Slava. Slava is exceptional at his work and never disappoints so make sure to call ahead to snag a seat with him. Besides the amazing service the ambiance is top notch. ​Its cool punk skater ​aesthetics all around are visually pleasing and pair well with the music. All around cool vibes and in my opinion one of the best barbers in Bensonhurst. read more

Slava barber pretty good. He knows what he doing. He's professional. If you dont know how to cut , ask Slava. read more

I've been going to the cutting room for the past 5 years and I have to say, Slava is honestly the best. Very detail oriented which is great for someone like me who's very picky. He's been in the game for a very long time and really knows his craft. Very cool interior as well with upbeat music. I almost didn't want to write his review to keep this place a secret for myself. His prices are very fair for the quality you'll be getting, highly recommended. read more

Was my go to spot but my fav barber, Ksenia, left and my hair got butchered twice after. Shame on me. I tried another barber and it was hard to communicate being that i dont speak russian. So i showed them with my hands how long to leave it and how to do it. I felt the barber kept going back to the same area and chopping more and more that i had to say "stop, are you still cutting? It's very low already". Before they even began, I said leave the top this long and low fade. Demonstrating with my hand. I ended it up with my hair so short i cant even style like i used to (mowhawk) and the fade so high. And im paying more now all of the sudden. Dope place, needs better barbers with better communication skills. Very sad to walk away from this place for good read more

Been coming here since I was a kid, never been disappointed. Chillest place to get a haircut; between the aesthetic and the music, just a pleasure to be there! read more

I been going here for years, after I moved out of NYC and moved 5 years later came back to it. Their haircuts are really really good but customer service lacks. Last 3 visits have been pretty bad, horrendous at best. So I have very little time off and it's inconsistent and go randomly in the morning when they are usually not busy or so it seems. Last 3 visits, for all 3 I would come in, there would be a person in the chair and sit there. Out of nowhere someone would show up, ok cool they got an appointment I'll wait. Today I get there, she has one person in the chair and 1 waiting so I wait. All of sudden 2 other show up and have appointments. I mean I waited already 45 mins, at least when I walked in I could have been told that has appointments. Another issue is, I'm not Russian but the catch is I do speak it not fluent but I can understand most. Don't talk shit. I got up and walked out. Went to another place read more

I've got a haircut from Lena. My hair was out of control and messy at that time. She transformed my hair in such a good way! Thank you Lena! Good music and nice ambience is a plus. read more

I have been coming here for the past decade- and for good reason. Since 2006, Steve ( the owner and proprietor) has been entrusted with my hair. Through many different hairstyles, lengths, and odd requests, he has never failed to leave me impressed. Steve has technical skill without reservation. He also has interesting perspectives about life and international matters that I find fun to talk about. Even after I moved to Queens and over an hour away, I still travel all the way to deep Brooklyn to get my hair cut here. The place seems busy most of the time, and many haircuts are taken by appointment. Please call ahead, because when primetime arrives, walk-ins will have to wait. This is a testament to the skill ( and popularity) of this establishment. read more

The Cutting Room DOES NOT MESS AROUND!!!! My family, friends and I have been going here for the past 15 years. I am now 25. The people that work here have helped me pass through all the stages of "fitting in" in school as well as keeping me looking good on dates and at work =) For the past 15 Years I get compliments of having the freshest cut and always get questioned on who my barber is. The owner Slava is amazing. Always works with your schedule and will always go out of his way to stay late or fit you in really tight places in his schedule. Cant get enough of his love for working majic with hair. I highly suggest following all his recomendations if you dont know what haircut to get. His staff are all top shelf barbers and all highly professional. Unfortunately I cannot name all of them but the things they pull off with peoples hair, nails, beards, etc. is very very impressive. I have tried some high class barber shops around the NY area and ALWAYS came back. Now im fully devoted to this place. I am honestly VERY grateful to this business for staying close to my house for so long, but I know for sure I would travel VERY long distances to keep them as my barber shop. I personally know people that drive out from Queens and Staten Island to come to this place regularly. Now THAT must mean something!! Also, Im not one to save money on looks - but this place has awesome prices!! P.S. Always amazing house music setting the ambiance, thats always a plus in my book =) read more

The Cutting Room - Amazing work of The Cutting Room - Barbers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My previously positive review was only posted here because they told me to leave them a positive Yelp review right before servicing me, which I was not about to deny them right before they cut my hair. Turns out I should've denied them anyways because it came out terrible. Sorry to say that the quality of the cuts here have been getting worse and worse each time-- with the last cut I went for, the guy shaved off one of my sideburns and left the other one there. My sides and beard aren't growing back even now so I've gotta just wait it out. Also, I grew out my hair for months in order to grow out the middle, so I tell them not to touch the top. And what's the first thing they did? Cut the top. This was the third disaster in a ROW at this place, and even then I always treat them well and leave large tips each time; but not anymore. Can't say I'll be returning to this place at all again. read more

This place is stellar and Ksyusha is a star. My cuts from her are perfect every time and she'll fine tune each corner and fade until the cuts are more precise that the tools one would use to measure their accuracy. Sometimes I ask her not to bother that much with perfection, but she does it anyway. Im a guy, early 20's, always come in for a short-to-medium hair length professional look. When I discovered this place I worked in finance and lived around the Wall Street area. It was such a headache to travel here, but the cut was worth it. I told about this place to all my jealous coworkers at my trade desk but alas, only I would travel that far. It's been a fortunate turnout since I left finance and now am working on my own start-up that's headquartered 10 min away from this haircuts place. Slava, the owner, is a bad ass. I came in at a busy time once and had to wait a bit. I saw Slava take one kid after another and give them epic haircuts. Nothing too extreme, but always something edgy. Geez, wish this place was around when I was a kid, would've been the coolest kid in school I remember second time I came in, Slava recognized me (it's been over two months) and said that my barber (Ksyusha) will be back in 5 minutes. It blew my mind since I didn't even talk to the guy during my first visit. When I started asking him questions he told me my occupation, what I wore last time when I came in, and how long it has been. Damn, this guy would be a perfect spy (maybe he is one? :P) Anyway, the place is awesome, Slava is really cool and gives epic cuts, Ksyusha is a star and I will never trust anyone else but her with scissors next to my head. I've spent north of 150$ for a cut in the city, looking for that perfect look, and all I got was a slap in the face with a fancy hot towel (why would anyone actually enjoy that?). This place makes me happy for a $20 (tip included). I feel like I made a lifetime commitment to this place and it's scary... I'm too young to commit read more

Got here at 2:30 on a weekday; only two people were there doing cuts. If you're not an Eastern European, be wary of the blatant racism you may suffer; one of the barbers (a large woman with blonde bangs) finished with a customer around five minutes after I walked in. She took her time sweeping the hair up, wiping down the chair and desk, and sat down filing her nails and attending to her hair, all the while seeing that I was sitting there waiting for a barber. Another female barber (Khana) walked in with a few bags, hurried over to the lady and motioned for her to look at me sitting there waiting, and she still did nothing about it. I would've probably given this place one star if it wasn't for Khana. She quickly took me and made sure I got the cut I wanted, doing a lot of elaborative things that I'm not used to (coming from a land of bare bones $8 haircuts before this). Cut took around 20 minutes, and was great, though I wish I would've exemplified that I didn't want it too short. My fault though, since she would occasionally ask me for input/feedback on how she was doing thus far. Attentive, good cut, and I'll be sure to call for her next time I get a cut here. read more

My only mistake is not finding these guys earlier. For years, I kept same barber in Bay Ridge. When they went out of business, every friend of mine pointed me to the Cutting Room. Place has great ambiance. Friendly barbers, welcoming atmosphere. And their haircuts are simply amazing. I look great, get compliments, and feel good when I walk out. read more

Since switching to this place, I can't say I've ever been disappointed with the haircut I've gotten. The place has a nice interior, a mix of edgy/contemporary designs on the far wall and a plethora of hilarious stickers tagged up all over the mirrors. They always have great house music playing, too. Five stars for service! read more

I've been coming here for 4+ years now and everyone is extremely professional & friendly. Great value and the quality of the cut is worth way more than what they charge. Slava is the GOAT! read more

Been coming here for the past 2 years, if you're someone with a set time schedule this place takes up appointments as well as walk-ins for those who decide to drop in randomly. They do a superb job and 9.5/10 they'll know exactly what you're trying to do with your hair. Dropped a star because there isn't much chit chat with the barber. read more

Great prices, no 3rd Ave. parking problems....Go There they are friendly and professional. You pay for a good haircut or style, not Cappuccino and pretty flowers....just great service read more

Amazing haircuts, speedy service, and minimal techno music. Slava is the man. Witty stickers and foreign currency all over the walls. My kind of place! read more

There's one question you need to ask when you get your hair cut: "Does this look good?" If you're getting your hair cut at the Cutting Room, that answer will be "Yes!" It's a great place in the heart of the neighborhood with a colorful vibe and some big personalities running things. Everyone working at the Cutting Room is cool and creative, and when they get to work, they know how to make you look great without emptying out your wallet. On top of that, they're efficient and friendly. It's the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back, the kind of place where it feels like you know people, like you belong. The Cutting Room is a spectacular salon, and I can't recommend it enough, whether you're in Bensonhurst or outside of the area. Drop in and you won't be disappointed! read more

great local spot where the staff is friendly and more importantly accommodating. I have a busy and rough schedule but I've never had an issue just walking in on random weekdays or weeknights or even weekends. Owner is a cool dude too...best part is the chill music that they play and the overall atmosphere that they provide. read more

I came here twice before and I loved the result of my haircut (always seen by Natasha). However, I totally forgot to review my recent experience. I was seen by Natasha again. I asked for a light trim and some layers (asked to KEEP THE LENGTH) and to give me caramel highlights here and there. She said it will be $5 per foil, then prompted to tell me where she wants to place them for them to look natural and pretty. She said I'd need about 6-7. She began with the highlight (not sure why?) She started applying the color, and when she got to my bangs, she insisted on placing a highlight right at the front (although she seemed hesitant). I told her not to do it, just in case it came out bad, and she reassured me that it will look good. She finished placing the foils, waited the time, then proceeded to wash and condition my hair. We went back to the seat, I took one look in the mirror and FREAKED out. My highlights looked ORANGE. (But I didn't think it was over). She started blow drying my hair and told me how nice it looks. I asked her why it looks orange and if she can tone it. She reassured me that it looks great as it is and tried to get me to keep it that way. I asked her again to tone it. She applied the toner into my hair, and left it on for too long, to the point where I couldn't see the highlights anymore after she was done. I was very upset as this whole process took 3.5 hours. She then began CUTTING THE LENGTH OFF MY HAIR, when I specifically asked to KEEP THE LENGTH. My hair was so much shorter I wanted to cry. After everything, she was trying to tell me she did 9 foils when I counted 8. She started counting it on my head and realized that it was in fact 8. Regardless, my hair came out decent and the color of the highlights did intensify with each wash, but I was so annoyed at how much hair she cut off and how she completely disregarded my requests and did her own thing. read more

Got a good haircut here from a Russian barber who joked about ISIS cutting my head off using the straight line square back, so I opted for the more natural flow. Asked the barber to make me beautiful and he laughed and said he's a barber, not a magician! Funny place, funny people and for $16 and a short wait, Primo will be back for more adventure here. read more

I started coming here because I needed a place that would take walk-ins, but I'm hooked now. For starters, and most importantly, the hair cutting here is fantastic. I knew my barber (he said his name was Steve) was solid when he pulled out the texturizing shears instead of just basic scissors. He listened to exactly what I asked for and got it done with detail and attention. He also didn't take too long to do it - you get the sense that the people here are very experienced. Secondly, the value is phenomenal. I paid $16 plus tip for my haircut - you're definitely gonna want to tip, you'll be very happy with your cut! Finally, the interior of this place is just great. It's like punk meets Eastern European and it just works so well. You know right away that this is a no BS barber shop. Would give 6 stars if I could. read more

Coming here today was a pleasant experience. It's an intriguing environment. I thought the stickers on the mirrors was a pretty cool decor idea. The staff speaks Russian here. My hair cutter was Constantine, a name you don't hear often. He was chill. Cool vibes. I got what I wanted and he did a good job. Straight up. I'm ditching the Asian hair salons I always go to. Will come back here for sure! read more

I was a little scared coming in at first since it was my first time but Slava blew me away. He was attentive to detail took his time and listened to what kind of style I'd like. Came out great and will definitely be coming back to refresh. read more

I have been coming here to get my haircut for many years now and plan to continue for many more. The service is just right every time, the barbers and stylists are friendly, and the vibe in the shop is great. I have always gone to Arkadiy for my haircuts and have never been disappointed. read more

Slava is a great barber, and anyone else in his shop are pretty good too. Whenever I go there, my friends tell me I got a good cut. If you want specifically Slava, call ahead of time because hes often booked up with appointments. read more

The atmosphere is beyond welcoming. Starting from the international money wall, unique stickers and figurines. The chill music makes you feel like you're in a lounge somewhere on a coast of Iberia. And of course, the main crew of talented barbers. Always in the know with the latest trend and technique. read more

Let me make this simple and clear. I am a Hispanic male and only feel comfortable going to Hispanic or African American american spot, until I came here. THIS PLACE IS GREAT. The environment is very urban and chill. Constantine is a great barber/hair stylist. New customer here and will continue to come back! :) read more

Awesome place been coming here for years, trendiest and hippest place around. I recommend this place to all my friends.

Been going here for the last 20 years. Tried other barbers at different points in my life, but nothing compares to Steve and his team. Relatively inexpensive cost compared to the high quality of haircuts and service. No matter how booked they are, they will always find room to fit you in, sometimes staying open later than normal. read more

Can't recommend enough! read more
