Rockabilly Barbers

Aisha gave me both the best haircut I’ve ever gotten and the best haircut experience I’ve ever… experienced. Honestly it was amazing. She explained a lot to me about my hair … I think she cured me of my inability to know how to talk about my hair. I will be forever grateful.

This place only rushes to get the job done as soon as possible with little concern for quality.
This is the first time I’ve gotten a straight razor shave. I got my whole head and face done. I’ve honestly done much better/​gotten closer shaves with my Gillette razor on my head (there is even a hairy patch) and my neck has the worst razor burn I have ever gotten in my life.
Normally I wouldn’t complain but the guy doing it just tried to hide the fact that I was bleeding by dabbing paper on my face about 30x before he said he was finished and just hoped I wouldn’t notice.
When I did notice and looked in the mirror after we were done because my face felt like it was on fire, all he pretty much said was «I didn’t cut you» and tried to blame it on my pores.
There was no concern for me or an apology or even a suggestion on what to do to fix this to make it better.
I had to ask him what should I do and all he did was offer me a product to buy from him.
I stopped getting hair cuts from this place years ago and thought to give it another try with a different service, big mistake. This is definitely the last time I go there.
They, however, gave me a full refund, no questions asked, when I called after making this post.

I’ve been to this place 3 times, and I just gave up. the last visit this guy with tattoo did my haircut. he comb my hair so violently that he scratched the pimple on my forehand. it started bleeding but he did nothing at all. I wasn’t wearing glasses so couldn’t see clearly. when I finally found out then he handed me the tissue. before that, he sprayed so so so much water on my head and it started dropping down on my face, yet he didn’t say anything, just pretended it’s so normal. this was the worst experience ever ever in my life. even the granny back in my hometown knows how to treat customers right and give nice haircut. he just rushed all the way so he could take more customers. the previous two visits? the girl didn’t even know what to do and another barber helped her. so what?

They’re always packed when we go, so I take that as a good sign. We always wait for Vinny. He takes great care of my hubby and boys!

Went here a couple of times before. Not the best haircut, but fast which is fine by me. I’m really not picky about my hair.
Came back a few months later around mid day when it was quiet and just asked for a simple haircut. Might have been the worst haircut I’ve ever gotten. Front was crooked, almost to a 45 degree angle. She could not have done the edges any faster, or with less care. Basically jabbed at my head from a few inches hoping to hit the right spot. Side burns wound up uneven and dug in to the back of my neck nice and hard. On top, there really was no method to cutting. Just randomly used her fingers to measure some spots and the comb at others and a buzzer at others. Like I said, it was not busy and I am not one to complain about my hair, but this was pretty poor all around. Hopefully it was just a one time thing, but I will not be finding out.

Because of the lack of barbershops around the area, Rockabilly Barbers is a fair and convenient place for Stony Brook University students and local families. I am very particular with my haircuts, but very simple. At first, the haircut was acceptable. Like other reviews, I felt rushed, but the barbers’ personalities made up for the experience. However, the haircuts and experiences decreased in quality. My sides were often rushed and left with stray long hairs, the line around my ears were neglected, and the top was uneven. The only barber who has demonstrated consistency and quality is Nick. So, if you are looking for a convenient haircut I’d recommend Rockabilly Barbers… but just toss caution to the wind.

I used to frequent a Rockabilly’s when I was growing up and always loved the cut and atmosphere. I stopped going because I moved away and the hours didn’t work with my work schedule. I just recently moved out east and found out one was right down the road from me so I decided to go in for a hair cut since I’m looking for a new barber in the area anyways.
First off, I didn’t feel that the atmosphere was the same as other locations. It felt fake to be honest, like the barbers were out of place. However the cut was what really upset. It wasn’t that the cut itself was bad but that the person didn’t listen at all to what I asked for when I sat down. I’ve been getting the same haircut for about 16 years now (medium high skin fade, scissor cut on top about an inch long), and have rarely had a problem at a barber shop. On this occasion I ended up with a very short buzz cut on top. I went to stop him but it was too late. I just let him finish and left but I certainly will not be back.
Angelo’s is East Setauket seems to be the place to go

This is basically the best barbershop in stony brook hands down. Great haircuts, jammin music, genuine people, warm environment, and sick décor.

Good people, good music, good haircuts more importantly.
I’ve gotten fades to undercuts here and it’s always been great. Worth the trip to Stony Brook.

This is the best barbershop on the area. Regardless of who cuts your hair, you’ll always get a great haircut. Everyone there is nice, but not so nice that it seems like they’re faking it. It’s the only place I get my hair cut on LI.

Best Barber shop on Long Island. Ever Barber in there can cut hair. I dont have to wait for a certain barber like other places because everyone in here is great at what they do. Great atmosphere also.

My husband enjoys getting his haircut here. Always a great job, one time was shorter than he asked for but still ended up looking great!
Cash only! Don’t get caught off guard by that. Excellent cuts for a very fair price and a great atmosphere.

I have been here a few times. I feel as if they try to rush the hair cut to get more people in. I don’t know if this was because I am a walk in and do not schedule an appointment, but it can be a bit annoying.
Other than that they do a decent job, nothing great and nothing bad.
Good for a quick average hair cut.

I’ve been here twice and both times have been excellent– and it actually got better in the 2^nd time.
The place is clean and the lighting lets you get a good look at what’s happening to your hair. They play some good songs too.
I had brought a photo of the hairstyle I wanted and Vinny did a great job. He’s not averse to explaining the choices he gives me and is open to friendly chat while he’s cutting.
He doesn’t rush the job either and is quite patient to be gentle if certain hair scalps hurt.
I only wish they had a back mirror so that I could see the back of my head as well as the front. He does hold a mirror for that after finishing the haircut though.
At $ 15 (excluding tips) it’s quite reasonable considering the rates charged in Stony Brook.

I’ve been going to Rockabilly since it opened. By far the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten for a reasonable price. They are always busy so call for an appointment or do what I do and wait and have good ol’ days conversations.

I just decided to come here as a walk-​in since I was long overdue for a haircut. I have a fairly long Asian hairstyle so it probably wasn’t something they were used to getting.
Anyway, I got Stefan and I was very impressed by the level of attentiveness I received. Normally I picture barbers to be pretty quick with the comb and scissors, which personally makes me slightly uneasy, so I was very pleased to see that he didn’t take it very fast and seemed to really take his time to make sure everything was right.
I got everything I asked for and I’m very happy with their service.

Haircut and great tunes…
Wow — I got turned on to this place by a friend and have to say– great job. I’m really picky about my hair, particularly since there is less of it to play around with these days.
Vinny was the guy who took care of me and he did a great job. The location is set up with 4 seats — 2 each back to back and the place was hopping when I got there. The inside is interesting — lots of eclectic memorabilia on the walls and some great tunes playing. They use rolling tool boxes for their barber equipment– a nice change from the standard setup everywhere else.
All in all a great experience and not too hard on the wallet.
Parking in front.

Rock and roll barber shop next to Soups On (
) and a good spot for a trim.. . there’s not a lot of hair on the floor when your done, Blaine shows restraint and gives you what you asked for. Good thing is you don’t have to grow it all out again from the little boys haircut you get in some barber shops. It costs about fifteen bucks.

I haven’t been to a barber besides Rockabilly Barbers in almost 3 years now, without regret. Blaine is experienced and quick, and finishes the haircut with warm shaving cream and a clean shave to the back of your neck.

Though you don’t need to have a pompadour to get your hair cut at Rockabilly Barbers, it’s nice to know that option is available in case you suddenly get into a 50’s mood. Blaine gives consistently great haircuts at a very fair price. He always takes his time and gets it right. All of Rockabilly’s locations give the old fashion feel (they even finish the haircut off with a straight edge) but cater to a younger crowd.
