Universal Barber Shop

This is a new place for me. I don’t live in the area but found it while catsitting nearby. I’ve been three times, and had two barbers. I’m very satisfied with the easy buzz cut they give me because they take the time to make it a worthwhile experience. True attention to detail and customer service. It’s now worth the trip just for a haircut!

EDITED: thanks for the response. Increased to 4 stars. Overall we are pleased now. The cut was REALLY GOOD and is growing out well. It just wasn’t exactly what we expected. If you are male and have a super short cut, little hair, or need to shave a beard, this place is perfect for you. Barber was very professional, and took much time to be precise and symmetrical. Those are very positive things, and this place is perfect for many people. Sadly, the negative outweighed the positive for us, in this case. The barber did not follow a clear direction. I don’t think it was the language difference. We clearly stated he should keep my son’s hair long (it was basically a llama cut), but cleaner, and he acknowledged it.

I’ve been coming to these guys for about 8 years starting before they moved down the street to this location. They’re always quick and give a good standard cut.

I went in for a cut and shave. During the shave, the barber used the foil shaver so aggressively that he put a deep cut in my neck. It bled. He applied a drop of alcohol but didn’t apologize. After getting home, I noticed that he also nicked my ear. In years of haircuts at different barbers, I’ve never had an experience this bad.

Best in the Upper West! Coming here over a year now. I had tried a few others in the area first but didn't compare. It's a very relaxed environment with no frills just solid haircuts! Rubin is my go to. Fantastic old school barber and a very nice man but have had cuts from everyone there, always happy.
