David's Barber Shop

Super convenient and efficient. The atmosphere in this barbershop is friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for a clean, classic haircut, this is the place to go. They also repair watches, which is a nice bonus.

Today and the last few cuts over the past few months have been suboptimal. I had to go home and correct my haircut (trimmings around the ears and sideburns). Plus the person who cut my hair (small, pudgy with glasses) had someone else’s hair on the chair and did not clean their clippers (had remnants of previous person’s hair cut). Wasn’t detailed oriented and basically finished my fade haircut in 5 minutes (they didn’t do a fade cut). Won’t be going back. You get what you pay for as they say.

This place looks like your classic NYC neighborhood barber shop, faded mirrors, dudes talking sports, probably a jar of blue liquid no one’s ever cleaned. True to form, they don’t take reservations. It’s walk-ins only, which I actually respect. It’s old-school. It’s on brand. Now, here’s where the scissors slip. I walk in and the barber closest to the door tells me it’s just a 10-minute wait. Bold claim, considering the waiting area looked like a casting call for The Sopranos. But whatever, I’m here for it. I thank him and sit down. A couple minutes later, I step outside for a phone call. Call runs five minutes, tops. Come back in, same dudes still waiting, no problem. Except now people who arrived after me are getting called up like they’ve got VIP passes. I ask what’s up and get told,

(Re rating to a 2 star)This is my second time getting a haircut here. First time I got a haircut it was good. This time not as much I asked just for a low fade and nothing on top. I just think this time it was uneven and cut way too short. I went to Michael both times so idk if he was just having an off day. Edit - One side it’s a low fade and other is high fade as you can see in the picture. It’s not strange for putting a 2 star for an uneven fade. Yes I did like the first haircut I got there. This time is just uneven as you can see in the picture

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Mike, and he is hands down one of the best barbers in NYC. His attention to detail is top-notch, and he gives a clean, precise fade every time. He’s consistent, listens to what you want, and somehow makes it look even better than you imagined. On top of that, he’s friendly, professional, and makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a barber who truly knows his craft, I can’t recommend Mike enough.
