Cotter Barber

Beautiful space and even more beautifully mannered people work here– tried the lemonade with strawberries — very refreshing without any added sugar. Their pistachio cardamom bread was amazing– so moist as if just baked. I have no need for a barber but this will be my favorite place from now on (wonderfully peaceful back garden too).

I’ve had my hair but here 4 times now so I can confidently say that this place places a high bar for quality and standard. I’ve been so happy with my haircuts with Kindle. He’s got an amazing eye and cuts your hair with amazing technique. He also gives an adequate amount of time and effort to making sure you get the look you want.
Aside from the amazing haircuts, they offer delicious artisanal pastries and great coffee for FREE (how do these guys make money?!), Everyone working here working here are super friendly. I used to go to fellow barber but they got sloppy and started hiring anyone off the street without any experience.
Give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed.

So, I’ve been hearing that this is the place to get your hair cut and styled.
The people who have said this aren’t wrong.
They are quite popular so you’ve got to wait if you try to walk in. Next time, I’ll call in.
While I waited, I got an iced tea from the same place.
Yep, it is a coffee shop and barber shop at the same time.
I just sat down and read my book while I waited. Very calm.
When it was time for my haircut, I got Jesse and he’s such a cool and chill dude. Nice conversationalist and really hooked me up with a fresh haircut. My hair is a pain to work with.
Price isn’t that bad either.
Awesome, awesome place.

Slava is the best there is! He is a hair god. i have been to everyone
in NYC and other cities. He just has an inate sense of what looks
good. I have very thick hair and very hard to manage. Every where
i go, people love my hair and ask who cut it. They thought i went
to a high end salon and payed 100’s of dollars.
Slava is a true artist, Cotter is great overall… great addition to the hood!

Awesome place for coffee and great cuts!!! Kudos to Jesse… Great haircut on my husband! Only place in Brooklyn or NYC for that matter to get Four Barrel Coffee. Friendly staff great environment!

Good haircut, good experience, free tea or coffee. It’s one of the many new barbershops that are popping up and providing a premium service at a slightly higher cost, I’ll let you decide if it’s worth it.

WOW! What a wonderful experience all around! I surprised my boyfriend with a shave on his birthday and he loved it more than I could have even imagined. It was super easy to plan ahead and book an appointment complete with a birthday candle. They serve Four Barrel coffee in all forms, including cold brew. Ovenly cookies, too! Besides the soothing ambience, with carefully furnished wood shelving, old-​school straight-​razors and shaving cream dispensers to boot. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. The music was great. The vibe was chill. Handsome Slava gave the best shave ever — meticulous, perfect. They even have a grill outside for use in the summer… we’ll be back. :)

great americano! my fav spot for coffee and treats

Although this review isn’t for the barbers I have to say that it’s the best place I’ve tried in Greenpoint for a latte. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 3 years now and have tried a lot of cafes and coffee shops around here. (It’s NY– we NEED coffee). The shop itself is really nice and so is the staff when you walk in. Always nice to go into a new spot and not feel uncomfortable glances as you look around. If I needed barbering I’d give these guys a try. :)

Kind of a pricey barber with a mens haircut running you $ 43 plus tip. Very nice inside and trendy. I believe there are two stations and the barbers are very friendly. Go if you can afford it.

Meh, this place seems pretty cool from the outside but their customer service is way lacking. I walked in to look at their products to maybe find something for my boyfriend. I was greeted warmly by the barista in front but the man behind the reception desk didn’t even look up. I was the only customer in the store, no one getting haircuts or anything, it was pretty quiet. When I asked about certain products he gave me very curt and general descriptions. I just wanted some guidance in choosing the right product for my guy! Welp:(So eventually feeling a little awkward blindly browsing their huge wall of products, I headed out. I wasn’t compelled to spend money here. Cool that they sell four barrel coffee though!

As a editorial hairstylist with over 15 years in the business sometimes you just need to trust in a fellow barber. I’ve had my haircut by many friends; on set off of set. I’ve even delved into the Dominican barber for years!!! On a last minute whim of just needing a touch of the clipper before an early morning flight I walked into Cotter at 830pm and asked the lone hair slayer, OWEN if he would PLEASEEEEEEE just take me from vagabond gypsy, completely over grown and unpolished … To Well!!! something new!
I live across the street and pop in often for a cold brew… But I really just did not want to return home and frankly handle the situation myself. Without a bat of an eye he obliged my despair and handled it like a master. I always have gripes and tweaks… I’m SASSOON trained stylist! It’s all about precision. But frankly OWEN is truly talented, crafted and on point with what I wanted and needed… The kids one to definitely book with! Oh and I have a huge problem with sitting for a cut so if you can’t do it in 30 min!!! IM DONE. Record time 27 min… YESSSSS I watched the clock. I needed to pack for my 6am flight.
All in all! OWEN. oh and the salon is swank! Get a beer, get a coffee! GET A LOOK!

Loved my cut! Super fun and the barber took his time. :) everyone loves my cut! Worth the wait and love the hours they are open.
I came in with blonde hair and wanted something edgy and different and the barber did a great job looking at a picture and adapting it. No awkward square or round in the back questions. He just took control and did a good job. Worth the 40 bucks IMO.

The haircuts are decent but the wait is not worth it. You have to allocate at least an hour for the very nice but tentative barber to get through it.
Although this is what the market can bear apparently, prices at at Cotter Barber are much too high for what you get.
As for the «café,» it is mediocre on its best day. This, on top of it being overpriced and the service being abysmal. The neighborhood is not the least bit improved by its existence.
ps: can someone please explain the general disposition of people that fill coffee cups for a living in Brooklyn? I’d appreciate it.

I get really nervous before a haircut and even more when I’m doing a walk-​in… thankfully I left with a smile on my face… I think I’ve never had a better haircut in my life, dude was like a barber magician, meticulously cutting away at my hair. The price is kind of the same as all the other spots in the area but yeah, these people rock and I was even offered some coffee after… on the house!

Came in with my brother to get his hair cut. Owen gave him an awesome cut– super stylish but relaxed. I had a coffee while I waited– it’s a super nice spot to hang for a while, either in store, on the bench out front, or in the beautiful backyard. We’ll be back!

My favorite quiet place to have my cortado. So ı do not want to share it with anyone actually.

My husband went over for a haircut and shave and boy was he impressed. He came home so excited that he finally found a great place for haircuts. Here’s what he told me. The ambiance is so chilled out. Nice music and staff is overall sweet. The barista offered him coffee as He walked in. What more can you ask for. He got his haircut and shave from Eddy. What an awesome guy! My husband says this has been the best haircut and closest shave in years! The face massage the hot towel everything overall was a great experience. He will deff be coming to see EDDY again very soon. Thank you Eddy

This place is DOPE.
I’ve been to pretty much every barber joint in Greenpoint/​Williamsburg, and this one’s by far the best.
It’s a lil bit more expensive, but not by much, and definitely worth the experience and the cut. Some notes:
1. It’s beautiful. Really nice to be inside.
2. You get a nice drink, which sets a chill mood.
3. I had Eddie, and he actually was nice to talk to. Admittedly, I’m shitty at barber talk but he kept the convo smooth.
4. Best haircut I’ve got in a long time.
5. Afterwards they gave me free BBQ in the backyard! Wtf!
Check it out definitely. Shoutout to Brian, Emily, Logan (I don’t think he works there), and Eddie for a real cool time.

They will be selling whole beans from Four Barrel Coffee in San Francisco in the coming weeks!
