A downtown gem, Lower East Side is such a very cool cultural neighborhood and this place just reflects it's environment. The owner Willis is cool he actually shows love and will speak to you and include you in whatever conversation is going on. Haircuts are top notch. Got a cut from Nova he knows his stuff attention to detail for sure. My only dilemma is that you have to pay directly through the app, it takes away that old school feel of slapping cash in your barber's hand but hey it's 2025 and LES sets the trends. read more

Service was excellent!!! Wonderful bagels!!! Awesome, overall!!! Give this place a try... you'll be happy you did!!

I found this great place through the Squire app originally. They were booking at the Chelsea spot to promo the app. I literally worked with the owners, and they introduced me to Jose! Honestly, at first I was spoiled because man they cut hair so well! read more

I have been coming to Well Connected for roughly 5 years and it has become my barber home. Angel has been my barber the whole time but other barbers have filled in when he is on vacation such as Nova. No drop offs in quality or service. Marcus has cut my girlfriend's son for me before for his prom as well and nailed it. Elite service and fun vibes! read more

Well Connected - What the actual hell is this hairline? Didn't even ask for it to be fixed or else my line would've been pushed to the middle of my head.... - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

Popped in for a quick trim on a weekday morning and was seen right away. The shop was large, clean, and very welcoming.

This barbershop is full of laughs and fun with a heaping serving of dope haircuts. My barber is Gabe; he's tatted up, gauged ears and a larger than life sense of humor to boot. Walk in's are welcomed but you should place an appointment because these guys are packed. The shop is small so its not suitable for a huge entourage to wait while you get primped and trimmed. Bring food! the wait will be long Now, Gabe's cuts are truly authentic and geared to the client. He takes his time, and listens attentively to what YOU want, not what he feel comfortable doing. I appreciate his professionalism and his light hearted personality. The conversation will keep flowing all the while he's making you look your absolute best.... Patrons this is a cash only place!!! soooo bring your green and don't forget to tip! It is well worth it read more

See all

To be honest Best barbershop I HAVE EVER BEEN!!!! Amazing Atmosphere great customer service I drove from Queens to the City just to get a haircut With Jean Carlos. all of there guys are professionals and make me feel like I've been going there for years. Best cut I have ever gotten TOP NOTCH. walk out the shop with Confidence every time I get a haircut with JEAN CARLOS. Recommend to everyone. 5 stars is not even enough. Pavel Sanchez. read more

I've been coming here for quite sometime and it's about time I write the deserving review of this fantastic shop. It's such a friendly environment you'll feel welcomed no matter who you are, I'm greeted by everyone when I enter and the owner will has the cutest dog that he brings with him from time to time. Sadly Will is a patriots fan,,, tsk tsk. GO GIANTS! Inky is my Barber and his hands are a blessing from god, bestowed with talent of an artist. He's extremely patient and he moves with such precision I can take a nap while he works and wake up looking like a new person. I was so happy when I stumbled across him as I was searching rigorously for a barber when my barber quit to do uber. I tried out almost a dozen barbers before finding Inky. Inky is able to create and design your cut to exactly what you tell, he's an artist! Your barber is oh so important because he helps you present your best self to the world and maintain a clean and professional appearance. I travel all the way from Long Island or Brooklyn twice a month. You can make your appointment online and pay and tip prior to arriving for those who don't carry cash. You receive a text reminding you of your appointment time in case you forget, everyone here is very Punctual so you won't have to worry about waiting. If you're looking for a barbershop or a barber give this place try! read more

I brought my brother to the shop to see Edgar who I saw has tons of great reviews and he completely transformed his look. My brother went from looking like a homeless hiker to a dapper gentleman!!!!!!!! Go see Edgar !!!! His Instagram is @edgarthebarber83 Highly recommend. He just found his new favorite spot. read more

I've been going to Well Connected since I moved to New York. This place has true culture! Marcus (the truth) cuts my hair usually but I've been to some of their other barbers as well. If you're looking for a clean place, with a fresh cut, classic barbershop talk and an overall great experience - look no further read more

Well Connected - Fade by Marcus - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

I'm a military veteran and the atmosphere brought me back to my enlistment, in the best way. Trash-talking amongst friends, switching into current events/politics, only to move onto hilarious "this-actually-happened" stories. I absolutely recommend this place; top-notch undercut and smoothest fade I've experienced in 2 years. Walk-ins are welcomed! read more

Been going to Reyes for about 3 years now, never had a cut less than perfect! I'm always greeted with positivity as soon as I come in and all of the barbers are good friends so the shop vibes are always great and full of energy! read more

I have been going to Well Connected off and on for a couple of years. Willis refused to give me a refund and service after I prepaid for a haircut. This left me a bit puzzled since I have waited for Willis, the barber/owner at this same barbershop before and ended up having my haircut start 20 minutes after my scheduled appointment (exact date was Saturday, 4/7/18 at 9:20AM, I have receipts). I should mention that I have locks. So I was really looking to get a simple shape up and bread trim. It usually takes me 20 minutes to get to the shop from my house. Today, I got on the train and there was a power outage. I called Willis to explain why that I would be late. When the conductor informed all passengers that A/C/F train service had temporarily stopped, I got out of the station and jumped in an Uber. I got there and they said I would have to pay $45 to reserve another appointment. All of this for being 25 minutes late and explaining that the MTA had even tweeted about the train issues. How is it ok for my barber to be late but when I'm late my money gets taken? I was told there were no other appointments only to find out that there were actually two available appointments within the hour. When I asked if I could take one of them I was told I would have to pay again. I was treated as though I was hassling them for trying to get the service I had already paid for. I'm not sure how Willis became the victim but he made sure to paint himself as just that. Who would pay a total $90 for a haircut especially when you're not even getting your full haircut? Their communication around this whole situation was very poor. I work for myself and also book accommodations (barbers, hair, makeup) for A List clientele often. I would never expect this type of attitude from a service industry professional. At which point does one choose to step out of a basic inefficient customer service module to actually handle business? What if I were in a car accident? I am not even angry more disappointed that this situation really couldn't become a win/win but that clearly was not the focus. It's important for customers to know that while it may be easier to prepay we are making ourselves open to having our money taken. read more

Well Connected - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

If you're looking for a shop where every barber is nice with it, look no further. I booked an appointment with Willis, and with never having seen me before and only a photo I showed him for reference he blessed me. While I was there, I saw all kinds of fades and tapers going on, and all of them tack sharp and clean. Willis has put together a great team there. Definitely book with Well Connected! read more

I'm in the process of moving to NYC, and finding a good barbershop was a priority. After a ton of research on Google, Yelp, and Instagram, I came across Well Connected. The next challenge was selecting the right barber from the gallery. I took a chance and decided to go with Edgar because he had soooo many postive reviews on all of the mentioned sites. Excellent choice! I booked my appointment online, and showed up at scheduled time. Everything about the shop, including the vibe, stylists, and customers was on point. It "felt" like I was in the right place. Edgar called me up when it was my turn. He took his time asking me what I wanted, but also advising me on the best approach to getting a clean and precise cut. Needless to say, I was beyond impressed with the finished look. I will definitely be going back to see him. read more

I don't recommend going as a walk-in customer. I'm sure the work varies with the barber, but the one who got to me was a younger guy who cut like he wasn't very experienced or simply didn't care. It's odd when your barber acts like he's done and you have to ask him to trim your sideburns. Even after that, the results were extremely sloppy. It was the worst haircut I've had in my adult life, and, at $45, the most expensive. read more

Súper picky when getting my haircuts so was really hard to find a good barber. Was referred by a friend and couldn't be any happier with the service! Best barber in the city! read more

This is the cleanest, artistic, yet with an interesting mix of hip and professional barbershop I've been to. Making an appointment was an easy process. When I called, someone answered the phone answered the questions I had. I got my hair cut by Edgar Morales. I did a magnificent job. By far the best haircut I've had. He asked me all the right questions to ensure he cut my hair the way I wanted it to be cut. I noticed his attention to detail. He worked every angle to make sure I would like pristine when he was done. He also smiled with glee when given permission to do some enhancements. He treats haircuts the way they are supposed to be treated: like a work of art. I appreciate him and I'm definitely going back. It was worth my time and money. read more

I refuse to get my haircut anywhere other than Well Connected Barbershop. A laid-back environment coupled with expert hair-styling makes it the best barbershop in all of NYC. My personal favorite, Nova, is by far the MOST professional barber in all senses of the word. His attention to detail and desire to please is what keeps me coming back and what ranks him up there with the elite. I sometimes find myself postponing cuts when he's fully booked just to have him cut me. He's THAT good. As far as convenience goes, booking my cuts online with Booksy has been a game-changer. No more awkward post-cut price talks. So if you're planning on visiting the shop, make sure to give my man Nova a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

I've been getting my haircut from Willis for over 15 years not only is he a great barber but he takes his business very seriously and the health & safety of his customers & staff very seriously as well. He always maintains the cleanliness of his shop and abides by all Covid regulations, anyone who would say otherwise clearly doesn't know what they're talking about. read more

It can be quite stressful finding a barber in the city to cut my hair. Usually I don't have a lot of time to wait and do not want to spend the entire day in the shop. Well Connected is great because you can prepay and block out appointments via iPhone app and cut out all the nonsense. What's even better is that I found an incredible barber at the shop. Edgar always takes his time when he attends to me and makes sure I am comfortable and relaxed. Edgar is super friendly but serious about his craft, ensuring complete satisfaction with his customers. I'm pretty glad I found a new home for my fades. read more

My kids have been going to Jean Carlos for years and they absolutely love their hair cuts.. they refuse to go to any other barber he is very professional and nice. I recommend everybody who wants a clean hair cut to go to him. read more

I've been coming here for years and have always had a good experience with the staff. Their online reservation system is incredibly reliable and considerate of covid protocols. Would highly recommend to anyone in NYC. read more

Barbers are very skilled at their craft. Owners very helpful makes sure you don't go unnoticed at the door if you're a first time client. You won't be dissatisfied read more

I had MAD reservations coming here. Ive been going to my previous barber for close to 15 years--he does good work but just hasn't kept up with the times. It's a wild feeling having your time respected, the talent available and to have a welcoming atmosphere. Well Connected had all of that and more. It's a cliche statement but: Well Connected is a cut above. Online scheduling. Payment via Credit Cards...man...Im glad I finally leveled up. Pete does really great work. I'll definitely be back. read more

Angel is tremendous, gets those edges TIGHT and so even it looks like he used a ruler. People stop me for days after a cut asking me who does such precision work. Worth every penny. read more

Change is difficult especially when you've found, "The barber." The one that that gives you the cut exactly as you want it and then some. Chris works his magic precisely but yet so effortlessly to the T. You don't have to worry about being put into a pretzel just to get the right angles but simply relax and enjoy the good tunes while getting the million dollar cut. To top it off, when you're suddenly shifted backwards and a warm towel is applied to your face, you realize you've only been getting cuts for your whole life. What follows is this machine applied over the warm towel that massages your face and turns your cut into an experience that you've been missing your whole life. This is the major leagues son. Change is good especially in the case of a world-class experience. Go see, "my guy," Chris, when you are ready to step up to the plate. read more

I would like to commend Reyes for his amazing barber skills. He is an awesome dude , and the whole barber shop aura is clean and friendly. I strongly recommend getting a cut here and you will leave feeling confident as ever read more

Stopped for a walk in Alex was in a rush and that's why the fade was uneven but aside from that da place was nicen I wouldn't give bad rating but his breath stunk read more

Clean, knowledgeable, and professional. I started with a Yelp suggestion, after my barber of 5+ years moved away. I went to the Well Connected website and it was an easy, straightforward process to booking my appointment. I received confirmation, receipt, and reminder of my appointment all through email. The cut was amazing I keeping getting compliments. Book with Willis or anybody asap. read more

I've been coming here to see Edgar Morales for cuts and a beard trim every two weeks for about two years now. Rest assured, Edgar will treat you well and make you feel like a million bucks every time. Highly recommend, *especially* if you have a large beard like me. Incredibly professional service, consistent and down to the finest detail. Edgar goes above and beyond and I don't even know where to start with all the compliments I get from his cuts. You absolutely won't regret it, I promise. read more

Willis killed it. Great fade, cut and shave. Cool guy too easy to chat to and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I'll be back for sure. read more

Payed $28 for a below average shape-up. No beard, no fade, just a shape up that I could have gotten anywhere in New York. Wouldn't show up here with afro/curly hair. Obviously they cut better hair when they feel like it. Barber made me wait 10 minutes past my appointment and was too preoccupied with his conversation about NBA players rather than paying solid attention to his job, which he didn't do that well. Charlamagne is bald, don't think cause he was here you should be. read more

Hello! I came here after hearing about Willis and his exceptional skills through another friend. I scheduled an appointment and showed up at the shop a few minutes early. I was greeted by Willis and his other barbers. The shop is easy to find and in a great location. Cool, modern decor inside and a great atmosphere. Now for the haircut, Willis truly knows what he is doing. As an African American male in NYC, I can say that it isn't easy to find a barber you can trust but I can honestly say that if you live in NYC and need a barber, there is no one else that should be cutting your hair but Willis! This man does things right. I got a fade and it was one perfectly. Edge up was on point and he even used a hot towel and a straight edge in the end to clean things up. Throughout the cut, Willis and I had a great conversation. He is a well rounded individual and I truly look forward to coming back to him as a regular. Come to this man for your hair needs! Jed read more

Great shop with personality. You could tell this is something they take seriously. In NYC barbershops are a dime a dozen so you really have to look for one where you have the right atmosphere. Willis takes his craft very seriously and you see that in the caliber of barbers he has there working. You walk in a customer and after a few visits you feel like you're in there with friends. Very diverse in it's clientele and on any given day you might just see a familiar face from TV in the shop. Haircuts are A1. I would book a appointment of possible but walk ins are fine too. read more
