Arkadiy’s Barber

These guys are great if you just got drafted into the armed forces or have an audition for the Robert De Niro character in Taxi Driver. If you mention that you’d like to keep some length in your hair, they’ll look at you like you have a form of dementia. Take a look at the hair of everyone working there and everyone walking out — yep, it’s all on the floor! So, grab the clippers and chop away, fellas — because that’s so simple, and no man really needs to have any hair on his head. Right?!

I have been going to Ari for last 5 years. And can certainly say that he does an exceedingly good job in a timely manner and for a very reasonable price

Ary always does a great job.
Best value in the neighborhood.
Listens to what you want done and does it
Plain and simple.

I have been going to this barber shop for about 3 years. That fact speaks for itself but I would recommend this barber shop to anyone that wants a quick, easy, and consistent hair cut. Over the years I’ve gotten my hair cut by all the barbers that work here and everyone provides a nice clean cut. Just make sure you know what you want to get before you enter. It might be helpful to google some barber terminology and know what size clippers you want them to use or specifically what length you what them to trim. I’m hoping Arkadiy’s barber shop will be around for a very long time.

Uri does a great job. He aims to please. Reasonable price. Convenient location. I recommend it.

Phenomenal barbershop that gets the job done! I had the honor of sitting in the first chair with Ary, he cut my hair exactly how I wanted it to look. Great service, great skill and very efficient with my requests. Ary, you’re a truly talented barber! Looking forward to my next cut.
Thanks Buddy!

Ary’s a Great Barber.
Just like the other reviews have stated.
No nonsense, no idle chit chat, straight down to the business.
The next best thing to my regular Barber back home.
Thanks Ary!!!

Solid no nonsense barber that I have been frequenting for a number of years. Prices have risen a fair bit recently and are now $ 20 for a regular haircut, but still a good deal.

I was on a trip in NYC and needed a quick & clean haircut. My hair can be a pain to cut. Yuri, the guy who cut my hair, didn’t talk a lot. However he was quick, efficient, and did a really great job.

I was a little skeptical at first but the barber, Ary (first to the right when you walk in), did exactly what I ask and I received great cut. I am a black man and I approve this barber shop lol

Hands down, the worst haircut experience I’ve ever had.
I don’t know his name, but I went to the barber in the middle chair. I might give him an extra star for sense of humor for what he did to my head, but he was too indifferent for it to have been intentional.
First, he kept me waiting while he wrote something on his phone. He made eye contact twice while I stood behind his chair, but he kept writing. He eventually motioned me to sit down, but kept writing. I should have known he was distracted and left, but I stuck it out. Mistake. He nodded to ask what I wanted. I told him short on the sides and top, but long in the front. He repeated «short,» and I again added «and long in the front.» I then showed him how I like to comb the front of my hair forward. He nodded, said «yeah,» and, with one hand in his pocket, promptly shaved a strip from the middle of my forehead over the top of my head. I yelled for him to stop. He grunted «short on top,» and I repeated that I’d asked him to keep the front long. He said «yeah, long in front» and didn’t say another word, but kept the rest of the front of my hair long and left a two-​inch gap in the middle. When he held the mirror up at the end, I said that I look ridiculous. He shrugged. I’d add a picture, but I’m too embarrassed.

Good solid haircut.
$ 16, cash only.
All biz.
Not much conversation, so if you want a chatty Cathy this is not your place.
I’ve been twice. I definitely recommend them.
BAM!

I have been coming here for a long time and no one gives a better hair cut than these guys. I traveled from Brooklyn and from Dallas Texas just for them. Highly recommended.

Great place to get a hair cut. They are quick and quiet. I think that people mistake everyone being quiet and the fact that they are quick as them «not caring» but I see it as efficient and they get me home faster.
I have gotten my hair cut here 3 times and each time they did a really good job.

They didn’t really seem to care about cutting hair or know what they were doing. It’s reasonably priced, but they are a little lazy. They also don’t take credit cards… the little barber shop I went to in Brooklyn even took credit cards.

Great place. Reasonable prices. I have been going to Ary (first barber just inside the door) since 2010. He gives me a great cut each time and always remembers what is going on in my life. He asks about my work, my family, travel and on and on. Always remembering what we talked about the last time I was there.
I read the other reviews and think… Are you going to the same Barbershop?

They don’t really care about giving you a good cut. In fact, the barber I had didn’t seem like he wanted to be cutting hair, and the way he went about it suggested that he just wanted it over with asap. He had the most lackadaisical attitude I’ve seen in a barber. The haircut was shockingly short (perhaps 5 mins?) — and it was done mostly using the buzzer. He must have literally made about 5 snips with the scissors. The whole demeanor with which the guy went about it made it very clear that all he was interested in was your money — he wanted you out the door as quickly as possible. The haircut was quickly and sloppily done. They don’t wash your hair or anything like that. You can get much better cuts elsewhere for the same price range. Don’t go to this place…

Excellent price, quick, nice barbers who want to get to know their customers. Used at least 3 different types of scissors which makes it seem very professional

Good quick hair cut. They are friendly and efficient, and do a decent job. It’s reasonable in terms of price, and always busy (a good sign), so be prepared for a 15 minute wait most days.

Tyler R. is wrong. I have been going to this barber shop since 2009. There are three full-​time barbers at the shop. I have never seen any of them talk on their cell phones or watch TV while they are working. What I have observed are three guys who have a strong work ethic and who try to make their customers happy.
After trying all three barbers — I only go the guy on the right — next to the cash register. I believe that he is the owner. The other guys do a good job. However, I am extremely particular with my haircuts — the lines — the sideburns, etc. The guy that I go to does not mind me being so picky. Instead of being annoyed, he works with me, and he does a great job. He cuts my hair just right and does fantastic straight razor shaves.
5 star recommendation from me.
