Barba

Everyone gives great haircuts. They have super warm service. Very friendly. It’s a small place but there opening at another larger location. I just moved here and it’s definitely my new go to.

I can’t express enough how much I love BARBA. I have been a client of Xac’s since 2002 … and there is a reason why. He is THE best. I moved from NYC to Charleston two years ago, but when I go back to NYC to visit, I always go back and get my hair done RIGHT. There is no replacement for him, his technique, and the result. If you’ve never been, you must go. NOW!

This place is a hidden gem! I’ve been getting my haircut with Antonio for the past couple of months and I can honestly say I’ve never met a more talented mens hairstylist. He’s not only skillful but he listens to what you want and unlike other stylist he actually looks at pictures of hairstyles I want to try. I would totally recommend anyone looking for a fresh new hairstyle to give him a try… You will not be disappointed!

These guys are extremely talented. Love the salon it’s very modern and fully furnished, beautiful. I was offered a coffee, wine or red wine, water, etc. went with a glass of red.
The stylist cut and styled with total perfection. Then got a wash and scalp massage, amazing! Then got a blow dried and styled with a good product. All the works included in a classic haircut.
This place is highly recommended. The regulars that were there getting haircuts looked fabulous and all the stylist are very skilled.

Xavier has been my hair dresser for about 3 – 4 years now. He is one of the best Hair Dressers around. He really cares about his work and it shows. He always takes the time out to consult with me to what i want to do with my haircut when i go into see him.
It has gotten to the point where i have so much faith and trust in him i just sit down and let him do what ever he thinks will look good on me. Now that says a lot about a hair dresser and his clientele.
I would recommend Barbar to anyone who is looking for a really nice haircut.

Got one of the most satisfying haircuts of my life. The staff is very courteous, the shop is very clean and warm. I was a walk-​in as well and they were happy to accommodate me. Got my hair cut by the extremely talented Antonio. Highly recommend this place and Antonio to anyone who is looking for a new stylist.

I am so happy to have found this place! My hair is my thing, my trademark — maybe? Either way, I don’t mind paying a premium price for a hair cut. It reduces the amount of anxiety I have while sitting in the chair. I’ve gone to a few comparable places in NYC and Miami (Contessa Rockhair, Bumble & Bumble, Ted Gibson) and BARBA outshines them all!
Tyler cuts my hair. But like, Tyler makes my hair. He does an amazing job and is super talented. He listens, analyzes, chimes in and executes flawlessly. He’s also generous with the free samples. Xavier has cut my hair once before (he’s the owner and obviously incredibly talented) but the whole staff is really on point.
Also, the cost for a cut at Barba is half of what the places mentioned above cost but like, better.

This place is great! Very clean! and décor is very nice, the support staff is genuinely sweet, Mike my barber is great. perfect cut everytime, my first cut he had to fix what had been a mess done by other barbers as i looked for a new one testing out a few different guys because my barber of 10 years moved out of NY… and he gave me a great new style that I love and everyone compliments me on

Barba is the best high end barber shop I’ve ever been too. the staff is so welcoming. I go to Jimmy. Hes Kind, patient and truly gifted at what he does… whenever i see him, I feel like the best version of myself when he is done. highly recommended!

Always a great experience. Very professional service and friendly staff! Love this salon it’s my favorite.

In response to Jon M.‘s review.
I cannot disagree with this any more strongly! Yesterday as always I was welcomed with hugs and friendliness. Xac and I discussed what I wanted for my hair and we enjoyed great conversation as I was offered a delicious glass of Sauvignon Blanc. He was thorough, detailed, reflective and engaging. My shampoo and head massage alone was worth the price of my haircut! This person reviewing you here is obviously a negative sad frustrated individual. I love Xac and your Barba salon and will continue to do so proudly. big hugs to you and the rest of the crew!!!

Overpriced. For the amount you pay they really should have better service.

Just had a Haircut with Antonio, who is very friendly and efficient. Sitting in his chair you can tell he has been cutting hair for a long time. Batuka hooked up my beard to perfection. My beard is really coarse and challenging however it’s looks PERFECT! The shop is very chill and the staff is very friendly. They have a good thing going in Chelsea! Try them out!

Let me preface by saying I hate my hair. I’ve never had a look that satisfied me. It’s impossible to work with. Frizzy, dry, curly, cowlicks in all the wrong places. I’m not saying these folks changed any of that but mike did manage to give me a look that was sharp. He cut it short enough that the curl was managed but long enough that it doesn’t look like I’ve given up. He did a great job, took the time to try some stuff, was very meticulous and clearly skilled at his craft. Compared to other salons the price was great too. $ 45 before tip. If I wasn’t just visiting for the weekend and in desperate need of a cut this would become my go to place.

Always professional. Always perfect.
I walk out feeling fresh and perfect after every cut!
Xac is AMAZING…
ANTONIO always cuts my hair… Perfection. #theonlylooks
If u want the perfect cut go here and stay away from those «other» Chelsea hair stylists… No Bueno!

If you want a great haircut then this is the place to go to. All the guys that work here are great. Xavier cuts my hair and does an awesome job. I show him a picture of a style that I wanted and he made it happened. He works fast and the end result is great. Batuka lines up my beard and it comes out awesome. The staff is very friendly. You can’t go wrong with any of the guys cutting you hair… Xac, Jimmy, Antonio, Batuka, Mike and Tyler.

I had a bad haircut from another salon! Then I came to this salon to fix my hair. I showed the picture to Antonio, and he did a great job!!! I like it!!! I know I can’t get the exactly same haircut like the picture… «he told me this before the haircut» But, he try his best and he try to made it almost the same haircut like the picture… I love it!!!
Great people, great service, nice salon, and they are friendly!!!
AGAIN!!! (ANTONIO) FIXED MY HAIR AND I LOVE IT!!! SO I CAN GO TO THE PARTY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT!!! HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
GO TO (ANTONIO) IF YOU NEED A HAIRCUT…

I love this place and Xac is an artist and true professional! Consistently excellent results and I’ve been seeing him for years and highly recommend him and his staff!

Go see Batuka! I wish I could post before and afters shots, but basically I was a 6 before, now I’m a 9! Holla
Thanks for the great cut/​style.

An awesome place! The people were very friendly and accommodating. My hair stylist, Cassie, was extremely friendly and I got the best haircut I’ve ever had for a great price. I walked out if that place feeling awesome. :) I recommend it 100%
