Harry’s Corner Shop

A fine barber shop, but I’m disappointed they couldn’t find a way to keep Rudy happy. I’ve been a loyal customer for the last few years and Rudy was a huge asset to Harry’s. After he left, I got a haircut from another barber and it didn’t turn out good. I’ve moved to Rudy’s new shop.

This is the type of joint you want to just pop into and say hi when you’re in the hood even when you don’t need a haircut. The cuts are clean and consistent, the entire staff is fun, and the shop itself is small enough you don’t ever feel overwhelmed.
Call ahead or go online to book an appointment. Give Vlad or Alex a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Harry’s was a great place because of Rudy. I was very surprised to hear he left. I wanted to find him but Harry’s doesn’t have his number. I was able to find it So here you go, it’s 347.273.5244.

Great barbershop. Vlad was awesome — he did a wonderful job and gave me exactly the cut that I wanted. Overall pleasant experience. Highly recommend!

This team is great! Best haircut I’ve gotten in years. I gave Alex a broad description of what I wanted and she went with it. When she asked a question– I said «I trust you.» Worked out perfectly! Definitely coming back to get my haircut here.
Also important to note that the entire team is energetic and great to be around. All customers that came in the shop were waited on in great fashion.
Great job Harry’s!

Went in after only ever buying product online. Would like to have gotten a haircut while there, but didn’t plan my time well.
I picked up an instore only shave cream. Excited to give it a run. Word leaked that the larger after shave bottles are coming out again later this year.
Darius was very friendly & helpful. Will try to make an appointment next time in in nyc.

Goldman Sachs say that measure an economy by the frequency of haircuts. So who better than Rudy to cut your hair. Well Rudy left, but I found him!!! He’s at St Marks Barbershop. And he’s even better without Harry’s. So happy I am able to have him still cut my hair! :)

I came to Harry’s only because of the legendary Rudy Milian. He has cut my hair exactly to what works for me, and I loved the environment of the store. Unfortunately, Harry’s doesn’t care for true talent and a loyal customer base, as Rudy is gone. Guess they’ve become just like every company that gets bigger which is upsetting. Go see Rudy now instead at 16 St. Mark’s place to keep your hair strong with a true professional at a classic shop downtown!!!

Not a great haircut by any stretch. Guy chopped my hair up, no symmetry or thoroughness. Had to go home and clean up spots on my neck he left with his straight razor. Poor attempt at trying to replicate Baxter Finley.

I have minor panic attacks when I consider the possibility that Will may ever leave Harry’s Corner Shop.
Hands down best barber that’s ever cut my hair. In 2014 I booked a cut with Will the day before my wedding after my go-​to barber vanished, and hes been my barber ever since.
The atmosphere at Harry’s is great, hip old school barber shop with a Millennial twist. Good music, nice people, reasonable prices and easy booking.

Top Notch Barber shop! I regularly go to see my Barber Vladimir Garcia and the service could not be better. If you want a great haircut with excellent all around service, you have to go to Harry’s. Would recommend this shop to anyone!

While visiting NY I found out I was 2 blocks from the Corner Shop. I went online to schedule an appointment (took 2 mins). I know a lot of people complain about not being able to just walk in and be served but I am use to barbers who only take appointments. I rather know my time then get there and wait for 2 hours.
Darius was my barber and he was hilarious. Really listened and did a good job with my hair cut. Most barbers just te front of my hair to short and uneven, still trying to figure out why, but he did it the right way.
If your close atleast stop by to see the shop and say hi. Everyone is super nice.

Going to get your hair cut can easily become a cumbersome chore that you just have to schedule in every so often. With Harry’s barbershop, though, it’s honestly such an enjoyable experience. The staff is incredibly friendly, the ambiance is relaxing and cool, and everything in the shop looks like it was meticulously placed to create an atmosphere you want to hang out in.
All that would be meaningless, though, if the haircuts weren’t good. Luckily, you feel assured at Harry’s that you’re always going to get a great cut. Never have I found another barbershop where so many people tell me «I like your haircut!» after I’ve been at the Harry’s shop. This is also consistent with all the barbers — Will is my regular go-​to and he’s on point every time, but I also loved the haircut I got from Alex, and just got an awesome cut from Vlad today.
Zero points off for the team at Harry’s barbershop, they’ve got my full endorsement. For what it’s worth, I also use Harry’s shaving products (separate from the barbershop) and am not sure what some of the other reviews here are talking about — I think Harry’s provides a pretty great shave, and the fact that they’re half the price of Gillette is unbeatable.

Will is the best! He gave me a GREAT short bob that I am so happy with. i can’t wait to come back again. The atmosphere is so clean without feeling sterile, and also extremely fun, hip and comfortable. Price is on point and front desk service was prompt and easy to schedule an appointment with.

So I had a bad experience at Harry’s a while back. Communication seemed out of sync and service was sub par; The Manager Kate contacted me and wanted to make it right after some back and forth she persisted to convince me to give it another try. She is did not give up. It worked and I gave it another try.
Anonymously I set up an appointment and had a cut. And yes there have been changes for the positive. Front desk was very courteous and helpful, haircut very good and stylist did not reek of tobacco. I had great experienced. I really appreciate their commitment and effort to correct a problem. I’m back as a happy customer. Nice work!

I went there today at about 3pm, empty and I thought I would be able to get a haircut. Wrong, apparently they were booked for the day. That statement didn’t make sense since it was already afternoon and the place was dead empty. You probably could hear a needle if you had dropped it. This is in clear contrast with FellowBarber which they do have a lot of guys waiting and coming in to check-​in for the appointments.
Clearly they don’t have common sense since they probably make their appointments after 4pm, leaving them with 4 hours until closing time. I wonder how many clients they booked today, 3?
I wouldn’t recommend this place if you need a haircut. Go to FellowBarber and you can get a haircut for about the same price as Harry’s with the same quality or better than Harry’s. I was really disappointed because that place looked like a cementery to tell me they were booked for the day. I didn’t see any guys waiting or coming in to check-​in. Nada. Not even a barber in sight. Wouldn’t it have been better to close for today, Labor Day?
Can’t believe people lack common sense and lack of thought before making unreasonable statements.

3 strikes and your out unless you enjoy engrown hairs.
«Dollar Shave club» is a better product and professional service.
1-​Web order was never processed in February.
2-​attempted to make and appointment @ their NYC shop and was promptly put on hold for 17 minutes.
3-​when the young lady returned on the phone, she asked if she called me. When I stated I had been on hold for 17 minutes, she hung up on me.

I had high hopes for Harry’s but was ultimately a little underwhelmed by the experience when I got a shave there. While it was great to receive the hot towel treatment and experience really amazing-​smelling shave products, I was let down when I took a closer look in the mirror later in the day. Parts of my face and neck had nicks/​cuts, and there were a couple of tiny patches of stubble on my neck that went overlooked. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, I know, but if you’re going in for a professional shave, these are somewhat baseline expectations. Honestly, I think I’ve done a better job in less time and with fewer bells & whistles by just using a double-​edged safety razor myself in my poorly-​lit bathroom at home.
Also, the décor, layout, and look of the facility – while quite nice – are deceptively old-​school, giving the aura of a decades-​old corner establishment, when, in fact, Harry’s is relatively new (read: inexperienced) on the block. New or old, the work didn’t live up to expectations (even for the «fair price» they claim to charge).
Cons: The work product just wasn’t there for me.
Pros: The staff was very nice and the atmosphere, pretty chill.

Never returning. After the first barber I was seeing regularly left I booked an appointment with another at the last appointment slot of the day. It was terrible: rushed, uneven and a completely different service from what I had recieved many times before.
I emailed Harry’s a complaint (expecting at least a fix-​up appointment) and got no reply. I sent another to their main email and again received no acknowledgement of my feedback.
I find this especially disappointing because this business is operating with the illusion of customer service. I recall a few months ago I was sent a survey asking me about my experience with Harry’s Corner Shop, and of course I was very complimentary given by experience so far. Now, when a genuine concern arises, Harry’s totally fails to deliver any customer service whatsoever.
Yet another business that falls into abyss of pure aesthetic over authenticity.

Harry’s is very good – it almost nails everything.
The booking experience is simple – you go online and book. Those people who are complaining about not being able to drop in are just being silly. It’s really simple. (Except, sometimes you’ll see your barber gone for a week or two – then you call and realize they are on vacation or something.)
All three people I’ve had haircuts with have been very good – high quality cuts. Good conversations, cool people. Judah and the other non-​barbers there are also very cool. The music is great.
The ambiance is also awesome – a lot of space is dedicated to shilling product and it never feels crass; it just feels right. They are literally on the corner of Macdougal and it’s like a big light bomb. Watching people as they pass by is a ton of fun.
The price is also right. Maybe more than some random place down the road, but very reasonable.
I only have a few quips, two of which I’ll mention: One of the things Harry’s touts is that they record your cut so that you can refer back to it later. I don’t think any of the three people who cut my hair actually wrote anything down. I mentioned it to the last person and I just kind of smiled. Not a huge deal, but if he knew what Rudy did last time, he would have left a little more hair on top.
Also, you get text reminders, but you can’t respond to them. If someone’s going to get my number and communicate with me, it’s going to be WITH me and not AT me. Otherwise they should discontinue text alerts – they’re not AT&T lol.
