Moved to city after college and went to a few barbershops. They all were either overpriced or just rush through your cut. Then someone recommended barbers on 25th. Been going to mike ever since. Great place. Not too expensive. Mike knows what he’s doing, does a great job and takes his time. Good vibes in the shop too. Highly recommend!
Ive gone to Mike a couple times now and he is always on time, gives a great haircut, always makes sure it is what I want, and quick too. Hes one of the best cuts in Manhattan and probably (if not definitely) the best price. At the very least, it is by far the best barbershop experience I have had in Manhattan
I have had both Mike and Roman cut my hair. They are both amazing barbers, easy to talk to, and you wont regret coming here! Haircuts are never rushed and look professional. I get compliments every time I get a haircut from here! I even get asked, Where do you go for haircuts? Appointments are very easy to make, too. Great business.
Mann, I love this place! Rome and mike are amazing! Rome’s haircuts are incredible. Every time I leave an appointment, I feel like a boss. Thats how good his haircuts are. Not only that, him and mike both give you great advice and ideas about what looks better for you. They’re very cool people and you will always feel comfortable in their shop.As long as im living in Nyc,this barber will be the place i will go to. 5 STARS. HANDS DOWN.
I moved back to the city in February with a really awful covid haircut and walked in to Barbers on 25th with no expectations. Roman took me immediately and I gave him zero instructions - just told him to give me whatever he thought would look good on me. Im not kidding when I say he gave me the freshest, cleanest look Ive ever had. Ive been coming in consistently every 2-3 weeks since then for the past 8 months. The haircuts are super affordable and its definitely the best barber experience Ive ever had in NYC.
Mike is the man. He knows how to give you a cut youll be happy with, and knows the right questions to ask. Also a great value, with prices that cant be beat. Would recommend to anyone looking for a haircut in the Gramercy/Kips Bay area. Make sure to reserve in advance, slots fills up quickly!
Finally found someone who can really cut black hair in my area! Mike hooks me up with the perfect clean fade every time whether it’s a regular touch up or the freshest cut you’ve ever seen for my wedding day. And you can book through Insta which is hella convenient. Can’t recommend thisplace enough
Had an appointment walked right in. First time coming to the shop I was a little nervous. However Mike did his work and made me relax and reassured me I was in the right hands. He has been taking care of me for a month now. Really happy I found this place. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality barbershop and cut!
My husband recently got a hair cut by Mike on Sunday and let me tell you I loved Mikes work. Mike was very laid back, respectful and professional.The customer service by him was amazing. The barbershop itself is very clean and tidy. Mike made sure my husband and I were happy with the cut he asked a million times if we were satisfied and we were!! The hot towels are a great touch as well. We will definitely be coming back soon.
Mike is an excellent barber who provides great haircuts at an affordable price. He takes his time, listens to the customers preferences and gives great recommendations on what he think will look best. I got my haircut last week and I am still looking fresh. By far the best haircut I have ever had. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a haircut.
I come here once per a month and this place is great in so many ways: clean, professional, quick, and just overall really great service. Mike is wonderful. At the end of every cut, i am impressed.Definitely feel like more than just any old customer there and it’s great.
Mike is by far the best barber I’ve had in NYC. I’ve gone to a lot of barbers in the city including some of the most premium ones ($80+ for a haircut). Mike charges less than $30 and his cuts consistently outperform any of the barbers I’ve gone to. He’s friendly and has some great whiskey in the shop too.More importantly, Mike remembers what you like. Sometimes I’m out of town for months I come back to Mike and without question he gives me the same quality cut without me directing at all.I’d highly recommend this fella to anyone!
Mike gives an amazing haircut; he is clearly dedicated to the craft and Ive never seen him rush. Always great chatting with him since he took over about 7 months ago. Ive been coming here since they were under the previous owners and I was pretty satisfied with the barbers they have. Mike is definitely a cut above them, and Ill continue to come here even after I move out of Manhattan. Yelp seems to have cleared out his reviews, so I hope Google will leave them up.
A great find!I was new to NYC last year and wasnt sure where to go for a great cut at great price. Walking around my Midtown, I found Mike and the Barbers on 25th. Between a new year and visits with friends & family, I couldnt be happier with the new cuts by Mike - I get compliments with each cut. Every time I leave, Ive a new, fresh, clean, and stylish cut - all with great service, a great price, and great conversation. The Barbers on 25th will be always be my NYC barber, I hope they are for you as well.
Was a walk-in as it was my first time at the shop. Roman was my barber and he was very personable as well as extremely meticulous which led to honestly the best haircut I have ever gotten. The shop itself is very clean and I could not have had a better experience. I will definitely be back and highly recommend the shop to anyone looking for a high quality cut.
Ive been going to this shop since I first moved to New York. I had a good relationship with the previous owner but had to stop going when his son took over and attempted to ruin my hairline. You never realize how much a good barber matters until you let the wrong person near your hair. A few of my friends convinced me to try the shop again after Mike took over and Im glad I listened to them. Mike is an experienced barber who I trust to always give me a great cut. Its a huge relief to have a barber I can rely on again and Ive never been dissatisfied leaving his chair. If youre looking for a new barber shop, definitely give this place a try.
Top notch haircut at a reasonable price—coupled with a few jokes! I’ve been living in NYC for 5 years now and have been to numerous barbers. Mike is the first barber who I can truly rely on for a solid haircut every time; the type of haircut you’d get before a big interview or your wedding day! He listens attentively and cuts your hair exactly how you asked—oftentimes, even better than you asked. A straight shooter, Mike will tell you if a certain cut will suit or not suit your face structure. Consistently the best haircut I’ve had in NYC!
Been looking for a barber in the city for years and finally found one. Gave these guys a chance and they didnt disappoint. Roman gave me a cut and he crushed it. Everyone knows what it feels like to have a guy rush you in the chair and even with the mop I had Roman still took his time. Hard to find that now a days.Needless to say, Roman and Mike are as good as it gets in regards to a duo. I trust these guys, and as many of you probably know.. that means a lot when youre talking about a barber. See you soon gents.
Mike gives the best and most precise cuts out of all the barbers I have been to. He does not rush the haircut and made the experience an enjoyable one. I highly recommend everyone to go to Mike because of his quality haircuts, but also because of its affordability in the city especially. You cant go wrong!
I went to a few different barbers in Murray Hill/Kips Bay before going to see Mike. I had never felt great about my haircuts in NYC until I had Mike cut my hair, he fixed up one of my recent haircuts and left me feeling beyond satisfied and confident. For as long as I live in NYC Mike will be the only person who cuts my hair. Additionally, its more than just a haircut, the atmosphere in Mikes shop is exactly the experience going to the barber shop should be.
Mike is the best cut in the business. I have gone to him since he opened up and I missed him during covid. I was the first in his chair after he reopened. He is friendly, honest, and thorough. I always love my look after my visit and I always get compliments. I highly recommend him.
Ever since the shop has gone under new management the place looks a lot cleaner and more presentable for us clients. Mike, the new barber, gave me an excellent haircut and I am receiving quite a good amount of compliments because of it. He’s very caring, as he consults with each and every customer on possible new looks to keep things fresh. He also takes his time to ensure customer satisfaction. The hot towel was a nice touchThanks! Will definitely recommend!
I found Mike after my old barber went MIA. I had been going to the same guy for almost a decade when he disappeared, hopefully to retirement and not “disappeared”, but who knows. After I was barberless I hopped around looking for a good barber who wasn’t going to overcharge me and who wasn’t going to butcher my hair. One kept me waiting for two hours, one would never be open when he said he would, and one used thinning scissors on my hair which resulted in one of the worst cuts of my 30+ years.Then I found Mike, who was tucked away on the block behind me. Mike fixed the thinning shears issue, and has consistently given me a quality cut for what feels like over a year or two. He takes card (but bring cash), doesn’t over charge, and remembers you. Everybody is a part of the conversation and it’s a welcoming experience. Highly recommend him to all of my friends and strangers.
I’ve been coming to this barber shop for a year now. Mike, the owner, provides consistent haircuts that are always on point. He is meticulous and extremely personable. He has reasonable prices compared to others in the area and always takes his time to ensure it’s perfect. Highly recommended!!
Been going to Barbers on 25th for almost a year now. Stopped by on a whim but never went back to my old barber after getting a cut from Mike. Definitely good prices especially for the quality of the cut not to mention the ambiance of the shop. Definitely takes you back to the good old days of barbershops with the quality shaves and fridge full of beer! Would recommend to anyone!
Mike, gives a great haircut. He is the owner and only barber, so you know you are getting a consistent haircut every time. He remembers everyone and greets them by name. I trust him so much with my hair that I don’t tell him what I want, I just tell him to do what he thinks looks the best.
Quite possibly the best haircut Ive ever received in my life. Mike listens to his clients, gives his thoughts and explains how he will style it, and provides a great experience.If you came to this barbershop when it was under the previous management, you need to come back and let Mike show you how a professional works.
I have been getting my hair cut from here for a year now and I have been satisfied by the service every time. If you are unsure of what kind of haircut you want then Mike will hook you up with what will look best with your hair type and face shape. If you know exactly what you want then Mike will give you the cut you envisioned! Definitely give this place a try!
I have been to so many barber shops here in manhattan and all of them have disappointed me.Ever since Mike took ownership of this location, that all changed for me. I finally found a barber that listened to what I wanted and recommend what he thought would look good and performed excellently.I am extremely particular of the way my hair is faded and cut and Mike executes it perfectly.Besides his awesome service, his prices are amazing. Very affordable spot.I am here every 2 weeks and I highly recommend you go to him as well!
I have been going to Barbers on 25th for a little over a year and every time I go I am not disappointed. Mike, the owner, gives only quality haircuts at a very fair price and it is a prime Manhattan location. Since going to Mike, I have never had an issue and I am always referring friends to go visit Mike for fresh haircuts.
Been going to this spot for 6years and am so grateful that Mike took over it. Previous owner did good hair but Mike has more pride in his craft and it shows. Pays attention to his customers and regulars. Nice coming in not having to say what kind of cut you want each time. Highly recommend giving this spot a chance and become a new regular!
Ive been living in NYC for over 5 years and have been trying to find a good barber. Finally found the guy. Mike re opened this barbershop and does a killer job. Price is great. Always has new products to show you and is always in for a great conversation.If you live, work, or are visiting NY do yourself a favor and get a haircut here. You wont be disappointed I promise you that!
Mike is not just a barber. Mike is an artisan expert. Hes the kind of barber that can look at your hair and head once and let you know what the best route to take would be. In my case, I came to Mike after years of bad barbers messing up my hair one way or another. I dont even want to disrespect Mike by calling my old barbers barbers, in fact, they were more like butchers. When Mike cuts my hair, I leave the shop taking a selfie to share with the people on my Instagram story because he helps bring that confidence out of me. Go let Mike take care of your hair; youll leave feeling just as great and confident too.
Mike is a LEGEND and runs a great shop. He makes you feel welcome, and provides clean and consistent cuts at a very reasonable cost in NYC. Definitely made my move to the city easier!Covid-19: Mike follows all the guidelines and precautions to ensure hygiene and safety in his shop.
I’m from Los Angeles, and I’m in New York on vacation. I’m very picky, and I’ve gone to the same barber for the past five years. I find it difficult to find good barbers when I’m traveling, but I did some research, and this place looked good. I traveled all the way from Washington Heights to come here, and I’m glad I did. Roman has over 20 years of experience, and does an excellent fade. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Mike is a great barber and an even better dude. I’ll wait in his shop even if there’s a few people in line because it’s a relaxing and friendly environment every time I’m there. Mike will also give you suggestions and guidance re your hair and what he thinks would be your best look. Affordable, friendly and satisfactory every time, 10/10!
I started coming to this barber shop again after finding out that it was under new management and have consistently received excellent hair cuts over for past 6 months. The owner, Mike, is passionate about his business and his trade, which comes through in the quality of his work. Highly recommend this barber shop.
Just moved to NYC and got my first haircut here with Roman. Going to a new barber can always be a bit nerve-racking but Roman fully understood my hair and gave me a great cut that instantly received compliments. Super friendly guy and nice space on 25th. See you guys again soon!
Mike gives the freshest cut you can find. Best haircut in NYC hands down. I trusted my previous barber with my life, but after my first trip to Mike, there is no way I can justify going back to anyone else but Barbers on 25th. Check out his instagram @barberson25th and you will know what Im talking about. He is serious about his craft, and makes you appreciate the art of it as you see his customers walk out looking their best. The shop is a vibe too, always playing some great tunes to keep the energy high. Check it out and show some love to Barbers on 25th!
Ive been to many barbers over my young life and while Ive gotten many good haircuts Ive never gotten a haircut that made me think of my Barber as a Craftsman or an artist, until I met Michael. The man has magical fingers and from the first haircut, even from a layman, I could immediately tell his level of expertise. My cut came out fresher than fresh, like new born baby fresh, brand new Mercedes right out of the factory fresh, with the leather seats still wrapped in plastic. If youre looking for a haircut go somewhere else, if youre looking for a fresh cut thatll have people staring at you from across the train platform wondering who your Barber is, see Michael.
Mike gave me a clean, great and quick (but not rushed) cut. Place itself looks much tidier and all in all more professional under his new management.Prices are EXTREMELY affordable compared to some of the other barbershops in this city. Just a quick walk in a good location for anyone working on Madison or Park ave. Highly recommended.
Ive been going to the shop since 2014 and I love it even more under the new ownership. The environment is chill and the service is outstanding. Through the many hairstyles and transitions between looks, I always get hooked up. I love the each cut is completed with a warm shave on the neck and a warm towel for the face. Def come give this place a try if youre in need of a new barber.
One of the best haircuts of my life. Went in after an ugly attempt at cutting my own hair and was saved with a great haircut. The price is the best youll get in Manhattan and the service is even better. Just discovered them and will definitely be returning, its hard to find a place this great and affordable anywhere nearby.
I’ve been so many places in this area and this is the first cut I’ve been happy with. Mike actually takes his time, and clearly cares about his customers (he’ll stay open a little late, give you his honest styling advice, and even give you his personal contact so you can make sure of the best time to stop by). After going here you won’t need to look elsewhere.
As someone who has tried a long list of barber shops in the area, I can say with confidence that barbers on 25th is the best spot for a haircut in the gramercy/kips bay/Murray hill neighborhood. Even if you live a little farther away- it’s worth the trip.Mike is an expert barber who has a passion for his craft. He cares about his customers and works and works hard to maintain a good vibe in the shop. I actually get my hair cut more often after switching to barbers on 25th because I enjoy being there, and I know I’m going to get a good cut. 5 stars.
Apparently there is only one good barber in this shop. I watched a grown adult sit in the good barbers chair for 40 minutes doubting wether or not the haircut he was getting was what he wanted. Barber had me, plus 2 more who called in before hand waiting on him, wasnt about to sit in the chair and get a rushed haircut... If this place really gets that many people for one barber, he should setup an appointment system.
Barbers on 25th is the BEST. Not only is the space super friendly and chill, but Mike is amazingly professional and detailed with his work. He’s fixed my hair on two occasions. Lesson learned: not going anywhere else from now on. Do yourself a favor and pop by Barbers on 25th.
A new owner took over a few months ago and did a great job renovating the place. But more importantly he gives a good haircut. Ive tried every place in the area and this is definitely the best. Ive even tried over priced salons and they are not as good. For $20, nice place and a professional haircut...what else could you ask for?
IF you go to co-owner Mike...prepare to dispel any and every nightmare myth about going to a barber/stylist youve ever experienced or, heard: He did EXACTLY what I asked for, with total precision and skill. He had his work cut out for him, as I had been cutting my own hair for months. I deserved every light-handed insult he handed to my results. At the end, he nonchalantly told me that he just gave me the best haircut I ever had (at least for what age, genes and fate has dealt me, to date). I called him the next day to compliment him and am most happy to leave this positive review that he deserves. Great job, Mike! Ill be baaak...uh...at some point...The previous owner was given the same directions I gave Mike but, alway did whatevah the hell HE wanted to do...Mike listens and....executes...
Ill be honest, I was a bit apprehensive at first. I was rushing to a wedding, the shop had just changed management, and (still being honest) Ive had bad experiences when someone is less experienced with ethnic/black/African American hair. I was completely wrong though, Mike did an amazing job. Ill be heading back soon. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
QUALITY BARBERSHOP!In summary, Mike the Owner gets five stars from me because:1) Mike listens to what I, the customer, actually request him to do!2) Mike has the technical proficiency to execute as requested!Also, Mike gives a hot shave as good as any I have ever received.

Professional service and clean, clean, clean.

I’m relatively new to the neighborhood and I found my new go-to spot.
My girlfriend thinks my fresh haircut looks good.DANGGGGGGGYOU LOOK GOOODDDMY MAN IS HANDSOME 💕💕💕💕💕Then she sent me a GIF that I wish I could figure out how to include in this review.So there you have it fellas, get Mike to give you a fresh cut so your woman will smile when she sees you.

2022-06-27I moved to NYC in April and came across the shop while looking for a new barber. Mike hooked me up with a great cut from my first time and the rest is history. He’s quick, consistent, and is very conscious of how you want your hair to look. Mike genuinely cares about giving you a fire cut and he always puts in the effort to make you look right. I really enjoy coming into the shop and chopping it up with Mike as well. He’s an awesome dude that exudes positive energy. I highly recommend this shop for anyone’s next cut!

2022-01-21Truly the best haircut and shaving experience I’ve had in NYC. I’ve been to 3 other places prior to this place and non can compare to the service and styling this place can offer! Both Roman and Mike are friendly and amazing. I had the change to get my cut and shave done by Roman today and he is amazing! Also a plus that this place is queer friendly!

2021-11-14I been to so many barbershop but i was never satisfied with my haircut because I never get what I actually wanted. However, that change since I start coming to this barbershop and when I met Rome I told him what I want and he listed, he also give me suggested such as: what’s good for my hair and the fade I should get. He totally meet the requirements that I was looking for. He actually knows what his doing. Every time I go to him, I don’t even have to say anything he just know what cut and hairstyle I want. They also offer drinks here, good music, clean bathroom and shop. They work fast but very precise. His partner is also a good barber 💈 both of them will make you feel comfortable and trust me, you got to trust them cuz they know how to do there job. Thank you guys.

2021-11-11I just moved to NYC a couple of months ago and needed to find a new go-to barber. Mike was super friendly and gave me one of my best cuts in years. I’ve only been a few times but each visit has been professional and exceeded expectations. Definitely a great value for service, friendliness, and quality.

2022-04-04Made me wear my mask. Which I’m fine with (completely vaccinated), but completely missed hair by my ears.. Missed a good amount that I needed to go somewhere else to get it touched up later that day.Barbers are really a hit or miss.
Review №8
2021-08-25This is an amazing haircut experience. Each of the barbers makes you feel right at home when you walk in. They were able to fit me in as a walk-in even though they were fully booked for the day. Great conversation, a great hair cut, and a great price. The haircut I got was, clean professional and only 15 minutes. I will be coming here again for my next haircut and I recommend this barber shop to anyone looking for a new barber.

2021-08-31Great service, great price, and, most importantly, great people. Ive had both Mike and Roman and I always walk out with the fresh cut confidence. Tell them what youre looking for and theyve got you while also providing suggestions that make it better. Environment is great and attention is always on the customer. Would suggest this to anyone who needs a new look or just a quick shape-up for the weekend.
