X-Clusive Barber Shop

So, in my search to get a haircut late at night somewhere in NYC, I stumbled upon this little hole in the wall place after the more advertised and «popular» Experience Unisex Salon just down the road which is given props for being open late and such, turned out to be a total amazing rip-​off and waste of time. See my review for them. But this place had my business and will probably continue to in the future, for being open late, being cheaper on a whole different level than «Experience», and for friendly service, even though I have not been to and don’t usually use these little barber shops in African American neighbourhoods that primarily deal with African American hair. But despite that, I like the way my hair turned out, even though I didn’t exactly know what I wanted when I came in. The guy who cut my hair was clearly young, a student, inexperienced, and was still trying to build up clientele, but I wish I could have tipped him more than I did, broke as hell that I am. He did a good job with my straight hair which I am sure he doesn’t see every day, at least maybe not on men.

A pretty good neighborhood barbershop. D, the owner, runs the place pretty well, keeps the losers out… it’s pretty safe for the hood. And there’s cable, which usually shows news, bet, sports, movies etc.
Go to Yes yes… jamaican barber in the back.
Prices aren’t bad. A shape-​up will run you about $ 6 and a hair cut about $ 12. Again yes yes will take care of you, line up good, hair cut good… beard… everything.

My husband comes here once a week and his shape ups and caesar always look fresh. If you’re looking for a local barber who knows what he’s doing come see «D» he’ll change your life.
