City Clippers II

One of the best haircuts I’ve gotten. And it was only $ 20 flat! They only take cash, so make sure you stop at the bank first.

I’ve been here a few times and today they BUTCHERED my hair. I went in for a trim and came out with almost an inch of hair left. The man cutting my hair was trying to hurry to get a regular in my seat and he swiftly cut before looking, and VOILA my hair was gone. There are 2 good barbers in the place — but the large bald one is TERRIBLE.

This place is the best place in the west side. because I tried all the barbers and the are the best barber on the west side in New York City. This is the best place. I Love This place!!!

I’ve gotten a chance to get a cut from all the great people that work at City Clippers. ‘Tis mastery and quite an experience. Can’t complain about the hot towel service post haircut! When one says classic NYC barbers, this place is up there. Talks of basketball and boxing over an optimal fresh cut! Joe has been cutting my brother and me for years now, amazing dude.

No nonsense and amazing barbers. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for a haircut in Manhattan.

OMG one of the worst experience of my life. I don’t wish this upon anyone.
I don’t know the barbers name but he’s clean shave bald with a beard if front of the shop right by the door. I walk in to the barbershop for the first time and no one even greets me. I tell myself it’s ok they’re all busy that’s why. The place looks dirty, hair everywhere, a pile of hair in the corner. It’s big pile, very noticeable along with neck paper. I was sat by a four foot pile of laundry filled with stinky towels.
I sit by the door at the waiting area. After about five minutes into waiting, another barber doesn’t ask me, he commanded me to move to the other side of the barbershop stating he «want to eat lunch.»
The bald barber said I would be next and that will «take care of me», before he did, he took two others. While he cut my hair, I was being very specific with what I wanted. I was disappointed. He reassured me he gave me the best haircut in all of New York. I didn’t feel that way. Throughout my haircut the barber left me twice running down the block after other clients reassuring them they’ll be «next.» He and several of the other barbers were talking in a different language which made me wonder if they were talking about me, and if they were, what they’re saying. That was very uncomfortable for me.
As I was paying another client walked in for a watch repair. I was waiting for him to take my money so I can leave but he insisted I wait will he finished with the watch. That took another 6 minutes. It’s not a lot of time but come on, where’s the customer service. Is this a barbershop or chop shop where no one cares?
I really felt unattractive with the final cut. It was so bad I just paid and went to a different place to buzz it off. They say «it’s only hair, it’ll grow back», but looking at myself in the mirror made me feel horrible.
Please anyone passing by take this into serious consideration, you might not be happy when you leave.

Amazing shop. All barbers are outstanding! I have been going to see Izzy for 8 years. Walk in or book a reservation, these guys make sure you leave happy! Any type of style, they take care of you.

An excellent, friendly and reliable barber shop. Izzy has been cutting my hair for over a decade. It is always a pleasure visiting the shop. Professional.

Just moved in to the city and this is my new go-​to for a weekly fade. Great price — especially for the location.

These guys are pretty good. They have to be skilled if they’re ever going to work off their debt to the wise guys who run this joint… allegedly.
My problem with these morons is that after giving them a couple of chances to prove they weren’t friggin racist, they failed. I’m a dark Sicilian (from Harlem btw) with curly hair and I happen to speak a little Russian… too bad for these hairy apes, they had no fuckin idea.
Last time I went, they sent me to a brand new guy I’ve never seen in my life. I said «no deal» but they promised he was good. It was a slow day and only 2 of them had customers. When i pointed out a patchy area and asked him to fix it, he told me it would grow back funny if he did. What am I… some kind of friggin idiot?
They made comments about my race & appearance, even though I spent my hard earned money there. I know because I knew enough Russian to translate what they said about my people. For that, I might get one of my guys to buy it and turn it into a pizza shop.
I enjoyed going to this shop because it was close to one of my favorite pizza shops and there were some interesting characters that stopped by. Like the Russian wise guy who stayed on his phone threatening people and selling random shit like diamond watches, benzes and atm scanners, the whole time he got his hair cut.
From now on, I’ll find a place to get a good cut, without the racism.
We had a good run city clippers… but its over you’s guys

I’ve tried a bunch of barbershops in Manhattan, and this one made me stop looking further. These guys know exactly what they are doing, and they do it perfectly. I’ve been getting haircuts from a them for about 6 months now, and throughout this time they performed consistently splendid. A razor cleanup and hot towel finish is my favorite part.

Moved to New York about 8 months ago and this has been my spot ever since! I commute 30 min just to get a haircut by my guy at city clippers

Cramped space with a sense of organized chaos. Not neat and sparkling clean, but the best haircut I’ve found in the city. Neat, precise, with barber touches like hot towels and neck shaves. Quick but not rushed. They also talk to each other in Russian, so you’re not forced to make small talk. If you do want to converse with the guys, they’re friendly. Recommended if you’re looking for a clean cut from a good old-​scool barber instead of a cosmetologist.

Perfect four seat walk-​in unisex barber. Vera was careful and focused — did a great job. The guys next to me were giving skillful fades. Quick, affordable. Feels good to get groomed

Just ask for Izzy and you could thank me later :)

Great spot on the UWS for a great haircut. I’ve gone to Izzy each time, and after the first time, he had my cut down perfect. Now I don’t even have to tell him what I want, he knows exactly how to get it done. Recommend this place for a quality cut for a great price.

Just got my haircut with Roman and not only was it quick but he did a better job than any other barber I’ve been to in the past six years here in NYC! My hair is somewhat thinning on th top and without even asking he cut it so that I was short but also looked fuller. I highly recommend this place.

Great shop to go to for a quick and high quality cut. It’s my 3^rd time coming here and they’ve delivered each time the same quality and precision I expect from a great barber shop. They finish the cut with a hot towel and and a straight razor clean up around the edges! What more could you want for $ 20?

I have gone here 3 times. I read the good Unilocal reviews and thought I was going to be impressed. I was not. The first time I got an ok cut. The next 2 times they were just not good. The place is only $ 20 for a cut and I feel like they don’t take the time to really make you look as good as they can. It feels rushed and I don’t get the sense that they really care about their work. I had a different guy each time and their skills were clearly varied. I don’t like feeling like I’m not going to get consistent quality from my barber. For the price I can’t complain too much but I would rather pay more and look good than save a few bucks. I really wanted to like this place and I gave them a real shot, but I won’t be going back.

I have come here several times now. I’m not quite sure how to rate a haircutting shop but I’ll try. The times I have come, there is usually a short line, but it moves quickly. Each cutter took their time with me, and I was never rushed. The haircuts were fine. No complaints. The cuttters are all Eastern European, so expect a lot of Russian chatter.
I like the extras at no charge, such as the neck shave and the hot towel. They create a more pampered hair cutting experience.
Overall I like the place and will return. A cut is $ 20, which is reasonable for the city.
