Geno’s Barberia

These guys must be training for some sort of haircut race Olympics because I have never had someone ignore my request as well spend such little time on understanding my hair and wants as at Geno’s. It was all speed! ZOOM, Clippers, ZOOM! «Cut that hair has fast as possible, thats what the people want !» Before I had fully sat down this master of the clippers had already started shaving the side of my head with no disregard. Why would he care? He’s been doing this for 6 years. 15 min later my girlfriend is breaking up with me because my hair looks ridiculous, and I just spent all my money that should have been allocated to a date night for the two of us at the Plaza (thats how much this place costs). So now I just have to keep working and saving to get someone else to fix this but… oh no, i just got fired. Why? you guessed it. My boss told me that I obviously don’t take my job serious with a haircut like that. I hope theres a market for Sideshow Bob look a likes.

Matthew /​Matteo gave me the best hair cut I’ve ever had. It’s such a pleasure to work with someone who clearly cares about the work he’s doing. I can’t imagine going elsewhere. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, but the skill level is very high and current. Bonus: Italian is spoken here. I was so happy I stopped in.

Love this place! Been coming for years. Killer atmosphere and my barber Yuri nails my haircut everytime.

I’m not sure why the comments say this place is overpriced, it’s cheaper than what I pay at home. I received a recommendation from a local friend while I was visiting to try this barber shop, and I’m glad I did.
It was a slow Sunday on a holiday weekend, and I was lucky to be able to walk in and get Ricci. Otherwise, I highly recommend an appointment or risk waiting. Ricci did an amazing job, but I would also say the two other barbers (Geno included) were excellent as well from what I saw. When I asked for a 0 fade, Ricci did it to perfection. I haven’t had a cut this good in a long time, and I’ll definitely be making an appointment the next time I’m in town.

Always try to squeeze you in on short notice. Big fan of this spot.

Gentlemen, if you want to get a haircut that makes you look way better than you deserve to look, go to Geno’s. I’ve been getting my hair cut by Ricci for the last six months and he’s a miracle worker. After wandering into this tonsorial oasis on Greenwich Ave looking like Nick Nolte’s mugshot and walking out looking like Brad Pitt (from the eyebrows up, I mean), I was hooked. I refuse to go anywhere else. Call ahead and make a reservation, because they get busy. Life’s too short to walk around with a bad haircut.

Yuri knows how to cut hair. A true professional. I am really fussy, and have always been completely satisfied at the way this man goes about cutting my hair. He is incredibly detail oriented. Luckily, Yuri took me the first time as a walk-​in and I feel that I could not have made a better choice.

Fantastic barber shop. Yes, it’s a little pricey at $ 40 but given the location I’m not surprised. Hands down the best haircuts I’ve gotten in the city.
³⁄₂₅ update. Unfortunately have to know it down to two stars. Went there recently and got one of the worst haircuts I’ve had. It was a Friday after work and they were really busy and I can tell they were rushing to keep up. My hair got way way to short and uneven. I didn’t notice until after I got home but if you’re spending $ 40-​$ 50 on a haircut it should be perfect every time. Not sure I’ll go back

Uri’s detail to A perfection haircut is professional.
He gives me the #Wooster #PeekyBlinders haircut to perfection. Geno’s personality and his staff are exceptional. Living in the West Village makes life so much sweeter

I’ve been to this place twice and both times have been horrible. My girlfriend recommended the place because she works near by. The first time I went in I asked the barber for a recommendation and I advised him of the type of haircut I have been getting as of late. He did not listen to me or give me a recommendation he just gave me a regular haircut that was way too short that I could have gotten for half the price.
I figured alright one bad haircut let me give them another shot. Second time around somehow the experience got way worst. One of the barbers looked like he did not want to cut my hair (I think him name was Mateo) he prolonged with the customer he had in the chair to avoid me. I ended up getting stuck with another guy who looked annoyed at the amount of hair he had to cut. One I got my cut he had the audacity to charge me 10 dollars over the regular price for the haircut, his excuse «you had a lot of hair». Really dude you are a barber ITS YOUR JOB!
Never again!

I cannot say enough good things about Geno’s. I came in for a shave on a Saturday afternoon without an appointment and even though they were slammed, Geno made time for me and gave me the best shave I’ve ever had.
Really friendly, high quality and though slightly higher than what I’ve found elsewhere, you get what you pay for. I’ve already booked a cut for next weekend.

As i walked in with no appointment it was decided i was a prioity case and was seated with Ricci.
I am so happy with what he did i am genuinely considering flying over from london just for a cut.
Guys. Do yourself a favour. Get your hair chopped here.

By far the best haircut I’ve had in NYC. After a few bad cuts I stopped by Geno’s and will never get my hair cut anywhere else moving forward.
Usually went with Geno but have had my hair cut by the other guys and never had a bad cut.

Love this neighborhood spot! I live a block away, but if I was in, say, LES, I’d STILL get my ass to Geno’s for a haircut.
Matt cuts my hair and does a great job.

Quality cut from start to finish and definitely a place worthy of a return visit.
Able to book an appointment on a Saturday with just over two hours notice and upon arrival only had a few minute wait.
Decent prices to boot. Best of all, and judging by quality, all of the guys are high quality.

I’ve been coming to this shop every 2 – 3 weeks for the last six months. Geno and his crew are friendly, professional, and really know what they’re doing. They’ve always honored my appointments, and on the rare occasion that I happen to walk in without one, they do their best to seat me right away. They work quickly but they don’t make you feel rushed like at other shops I’ve been to.
I always ask for Ricci if he’s around– very talented guy and knows what works and what doesn’t. He will always give you exactly what you ask for– never cuts too much without asking. Smooth, clean fades with no rough edges or stray hairs, lots of attention to detail.
I always leave looking fresh!
I couldn’t recommend it more– if you really care about a good haircut stop by Geno’s.
I just hope it doesn’t get too popular!

My (very picky) husband has been coming to Geno’s for almost a year now and I think it’s safe to say he’s a «lifer». Today I brought our one year old son for the first time (second haircut). After his first cut was a disaster, I was totally nervous to ever cut his hair again, but it was time. Thankfully Yuri (who also cuts my husband) was so kind and S0 patient. Really all the men in the shop were so kind and made us feel so comfortable. A pricy cut for a 1yr. old @$ 35.00 but the outcome is worth it, really a great cut. I would and will recommend to anyone looking for a great cut at a friendly place.

Tried a handful of other barber shops in the West Village and the results were atrocious. One of the $ 15 haircuts was so bad I went to directly Geno’s to fix it. Do not waste your time and money anywhere else.
Ask for Geno or Yuri. In essence, if Geno is Mr. Miyagi — Yuri is definitely Daniel.

I came the first time to Geno’s after seeing a potential apartment that just went all wrong that I had to dash out of indefinitely. After going to Checkers in Harlem to eat my feelings, I noticed my hair was looking not so fresh after six weeks of neglecting it.
When I arrived at Geno’s, I had a blond moment and pulled when the door said to push. I struggled for a whole minute and Geno himself opened the door for me which was nice.
I asked if they took walk ins and with an enthusiastic «yes» I was welcomed in.
Ricci cuts my hair on a regular basis. He’s such a nice guy and is easy to converse with and interprets exactly what I want in every consultation.
My hair tends to be very thick and coarse. Ricci cuts it like it was no problem at all. He really is my go-​to barber in the shop. I also go to Geno if Ricci isn’t available. Both are incredible barbers.
I definitely have found my place and will come here regardless of what borough or neighborhood I live and I recommend Geno’s to any guy in need of a solid cut because everyone I see walks out looking amazing.

To be honest, probably the best haircut I’ve ever had. This place is old-​school, but not pretentious. There is no fluff here, no cappuccinos, no period costumes, just old fashioned-​barbering.
They take walk-​ins, but you’d be better off making an appointment if you want to be sure to get a haircut.
