Rafeal Barber Shop

Came in with my almost 2-​year old who most decidedly did NOT want a haircut. The barber was so patient and gentle. I was hoping for a quick trim, but since my son was really resisting, he opted to use the electric trimmer instead so he didn’t accidentally cut or hurt my son. My son was fine after a lollipop and a slice next door. Looked great too, especially considering my son’s feistyness.

I was looking for a new barber in the neighborhood. After reading the reviews in Unilocal I called Donnie to schedule a haircut. He took me in soon as i arrived, was very friendly and professional. Took the time to understand how i like my cut. Then he nailed it. The best cut I ever got and trust me I am very picky. Highly recommnded.

EXTREMELY impressed… Went in on Sunday and was seen by Donnie. Even though it was busy he took more than enough time with me and payed attention to every detail. This is a true business where the customer comes first and is valued as such… You will not find a barbershop that cares like this one…
Walked out with a great haircut too :)
I’m glad I went again to experience what this place is really about!

There is a reason Rafael’s is rated highly; great skills and a conscious effort to please their customers. Mike was welcoming and personable. First time in here today, I will definitely be back. Sincerely appreciate the effort and experience.

Great place to get a haircut. Walked in for the first time after reading the reviews from here. Was promptly greeted and 15′ later I was in Donnie’s chair.
Being the first haircut with a new barber was a bit nerve –racking, but he made it easy. He listened to me and ~30′ later I left with a smile and an awesome haircut.
Found a new barber!

This was a random Unilocal find. I came in 15 till closing time. I was not turned away. I got the next barber available. The Cubano in the back left corner. Cool guy. He really listened. I travel a lot for work. It’s hard finding good barbers and putting trust in their hands. But I need a cut so it has to be done. I’m thankful for the good reviews. That’s why I trusted Rafaels. Donnie I do remember because he has his name on his apron. Really nice guy that Donnie too. It was my first time there. I have a few more weeks here in Hauppauge area. I’ll have to go back before I leave the Island. Thanks RB! mentions that it’s your first time to Donnie. He’ll take care of you.

First time Unilocaler here, long time lurker. I am from Philadelphia and go to a pretty popular barber shop in South Philly and know what a nice hair cut should look like. I’m visiting family for the past month and needed a haircut so I typed in barber shops near Old Bethpage and Rafeal’s barber shop popped up in Unilocal.I decided to give it a try based on Unilocal reviews.
As soon as I walked in I knew I had made the right choice as I met Donnie who was very welcoming and friendly. This is important if I am to trust any establishment with my hair and have to get that feeling that they are going to care about my hair. I had no wait at all as I went today around 2 pm. He showed me a female barber named Dasha. I was pretty hesitant at first because I usually only get my hair cut by male barbers, but I took a chance.
She was great. She was very thorough and meticulous with her clippers and paid extra attention to what I asked for. I think she kind of got the gist what I wanted and then used her own skills to cut to my hair. I think is invaluable in a barber because it shows true skills and is kind of artistic to add your own little technique into cutting someones hair. I believe she is Eastern European and did not talk as much as normal male barbers do but I feel that this wasn’t out of arrogance more because of the language barrier but this may be a good thing as she is very focused and perfectionist like with cutting hair.
All in all I would recommend this place to anyone. The price is very very reasonable and the place is family owned and has an all around good vibe. I only wish it was closer to my hometown in Philadelphia!

These guys couldn’t have been nicer. Got my haircut with Lenny in the back and he was really good with the fade, blending in bald/​thin spots really well on the sides. The owner or manager was super welcoming and got all his customers in as quickly as he could. So even though I live in Brooklyn, if I’m driving this way, I’ll definitely stop by for a fresh cut.

A cut above… Donny is great. Amazing hair cutter combined with great prices. No matter who you get they are all great.

Excellent place. Got the best haircut I’ve ever had from Wilson for $ 14. No appointment, short wait, super-​friendly and completely thorough. Definitely a spot I’ll go back to whenever I’m in town.

Just moved out to Hauppauge a few weeks ago — hardest part about moving was finding a place to get a haircut. Gave them a call, Donnie told me to come on in, and half an hour later walked out with an awesome haircut and experience. Donnie did a great job — extremely meticulous, asked questions about exactly how I wanted it done, and definitely knew what he was doing. Happy to say I’ve found my regular place!

One of my favorite haircuts of all time and the barbers are all incredibly kind. They deserve every star I’m giving them. Awesome service, awesome haircutting and nice barbers. You know service is their first priority, as each barber pays close attention to its customer. You will leave as satisfied as I was. I’m impressed. Thank you.

I can name the best with fading technique and it would be Sammy if you like fades and like being picky he is the one to goto.

Finding a good barber can be hard. I used to have one in East Meadow but it was a hassle to drive there just for a hair cut. That’s when I started my search. My new barber would have to be close to either work or home, give a quality haircut for a reasonable price and most importantly be a barber shop. I’m not a salon type of guy.
Luckily I found Rafael’s Barber Shop. It’s close to work (and now home), they do a great job, nice people and reasonably priced. They have a few TVs to make your wait easier and a whole kid friendly area.
If you are in need of a good cut by professional barbers, you can’t go wrong here.

Definitely recommending everyone to come here. It was a little bit of a wait but that was because it was busy, and the barbers were definitely timely and attentive. Danny (?) was extremely attentive and friendly and took care of me. He was very detailed and offered suggestions for styling my hair. I had a pleasant experience here like no other barber I’ve been to.

Had the please of having Donny cut my hair the other day. I always get a fade, blended and top cleaned up. He gave me one of the best haircuts. He’s extremely good at fades and blending it, so that it doesn’t look odd. From now on I will only be using him as my barber. In and out pretty quickly and prices are reasonable.

Just got my cut a week back and the experience was amazing as usual. Donnie took his time and gave me a cut that had me feeling fresh and confident. These guys know how to look out for their clients.

I found this place on Unilocal and decided to go since it had 5 stars and i can’t explain how on point that rating is. Not only did i get the best haircut of my life but also, by far, the best service. I was walked through every step of the haircut to make sure it was perfect, tested all the creams and shaving lotions they had due to my sensitive skin. They definitely know how to treat you (as well as the kids, while I was there a little boy was getting a haircut and he had his own tv and got to choose what to watch and he came out looking like a rockstar). I can say that I will only be going here from now on, thank you Unilocal for helping me find it.

The owner of the shop personally contacted me and invited me back in to make right with me and I was very impressed with how professional and friendly he was. It’s not everyday your voice is heard and for that I have to applaud this business and admire the fact that the shop appreciates their loyal customers!
Thanks a lot guys

The reviews don’t lie! A great hair cut where they took the time to ensure I was 100% satisfied. Straight blade touch ups on the side and back with a hot towel on your neck to finish it off… A decent deal for a men’s cut at $ 16. I am pretty sure it said «accepts credit cards» on Unilocal or another site but take note, it’s cash only.
If you find yourself needing a cut with no cash the closest way to get money is buy something at the Shop Rite with cash back.
