I really enjoyed my experience @ that barber shop. The decor is real cool vintage like. The hair cut was exactly as i asked for and imagined in my head. The warm towel,hot lather and neck shave at the end of my hair cut was a real nice relaxing touch. The price was with in my budget.I even got a coupon and a hair cut loyalty card which will give me my 11th hair cut for free!!!! definitely can't beat that. This is my new spot. 9 out of 10 cause there's no such thing as perfect-lol.

Finally a GOOD place I can afford

Given the bad economic times we are all under and me losing my good paying job I had to find a more affordable spot to get my hair cut in so I googled places in my area and found this one. I was hesitant because I am used to a full service salon. After going there I realized I worried for nothing. Awesome little barber shop. My hair cut was on point, trendy,stylish and efficient. I found the barber to be friendly and attentive. The price: well you cannot beat a $25.00 hair cut in an area where the average cut is $70.00. The quality of the cut is as good as the other full service salons in the area that i have previously used to go to.It was my first time there and i would definitely go back. Great reggae tunes on the radio by the way!

Top notch chop shop. tick tock, let's rock , send the "girls" to the beauty shop runny, gummy, yummies too. windey, rolly, silly toys (for the little girls and little boys) Big kids love the price. Worth the fee, if you wanna look nice.

Best bang for the buck in Brooklyn Barber Shops

Cheap, quality haircuts for men and kids. A fun selection of candy and toys, and there's and a little red airplane for small kids to get their hair cut in. They cut mine and my son's hair very well, and it's pretty inexpensive for a good hair cut. They do hot shaves too. It's a really cool barber shop, with no appointment necessary. It means you have to wait awhile sometimes, but there is lots to look at on busy Bedford avenue.
