I’m new to the city and have had a difficult time finding a barber shop that gives me a proper hair cut.
I went to Alex’s shop and from the moment I came through the door the service was excellent. I sat wit Al and he was very professional, asked lots of questions about what I wanted to do with my hair. Also, he asked as he was cutting to make sure I was getting what I wanted. He took his time and the results were great. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a barber that knows what they’re doing, I’m definitely coming back.

Effy may seem young but he’s really good and knows what he’s doing. Came by here to get my beard faded on my way to LGA and will have to make a stop back next time I’m in the area.

I took a chance to try this barbershop based on its Unilocal reviews. Alex is very friendly, and from the way he interacted with the other customers, you can see that he genuinely cares about their lives. But I’m looking for a skillful hair stylist and not a nice guy to be friend with. It turned out that he got skills too. I just told him to «cut it shorter but not too short,» and he knew exactly what length to cut it to. Toward the end of the cut, I told him that perhaps he could cut the sides shorter, he actually recommended not to because he didn’t think it’ll look good on me. His professional suggestion was spot on because although it’s been about two weeks after the cut, my hair is still looking good.

Checked this place out on here and Alex seems to be the man with great reviews so I called on a busy Friday and he squeezed me in. Let me just say his cuts are on point and he’s thorough so here your sixth star Alex.

Very stylish haircuts. Al hooked it up and I have no complaints. Always a good chat while im getting my haircut. Even shared motorcycle stories and plan on riding together in the near future. He was very patient with my choice of style because I didnt know exactly what I wanted. In the end, I left that place feeling 5 years younger and it was great. If you dont have a barber shop yet come to this place!

First off, I was a bit skeptical about this place since almost everyone gave it a 5 star review.
Something seemed fishy. But then I got the cut and I realized why.
I got my cut from Alex and he’s literally the best at what he does. He listens to what you want and he does exactly that. Alex also gives you suggestions but ultimately it’s up to you on what you want to do with your hair. He’s very precise and really quick also. I’m sure the other barbers here are like that as well.
I highly recommend this place if you wanna get your cut done right.

I generally don’t write reviews but I have to for STAN here at Alex’s Barber shop. He’s been my stylist for years and I followed him from Union Square to queens because no one else is allowed to touch my hair! His highlighting is PERFECT (on a very particular blonde) and the keratin treatment is amazing as well. Also, can’t beat his prices… You get NYC work for muuuuuuch less. The new place isn’t hard to get to either, by driving or subway… I will forever follow Stan wherever he goes but looks like he is here to stay…

Alex took care of me here — just moved into the neighborhood, was looking for a new barber and I found it here.
I went in for a skin-​fade, undercut and got exactly what I used to get from my old barber.
Will be coming here every two weeks from now on. :)

I went to this salon to visit STAN, he is known in the city and has a great reputation for doing excellent color and highlights. I HIGHLY recommend STAN. He really asks so many questions and is very thorough with his process. He always gets the exact hair color and highlights that I desire and gives me a fabulous cut everytime. I have been to the best salons in Manhattan such as Oribe and bumble and bumble and I must say Stan gets it right every single time. I will continue to come here and I highly recommend him if you want a beautuful hair color and beautiful highlights!!! Best of the best –5 stars !!!

Ben is the man. Cool guy, always remembers you and the haircut is always on point. Gives you exactly the cut you asked for.
Been coming here for years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Only good things to say about this barbershop.

I needed to find a barber for my husband ASAP but we are new in town so I checked Unilocal and found Alex’s place. Photos looked nice but they were all young and trendy guys. My husband is 45 and has a more classic style. I called Alex and asked if he could do something simple and classic for him and he promised we would be in great hands. When we arrived, Alex took care of us himself and left my hubby looking better than George Clooney. LOL! He promised and delivered for a reasonable price. That’s hard to come by these days. We will definitely be back. Thanks Alex!

STAN IS THE MAN !!! Following him from a well known hair Salon in the Union Square area of Manhattan for quite some time. Have NEVER had a complaint. Communicating my needs, he works w/​with me on what I want /​what’s best for me. Many times I request a last minute appointment and he’s ALWAYS available. Pleasant and precise, I HIGHLY recommend him as a hairstylist. AND … his prices are MORE than affordable. You CANNOT go wrong !! Once you see Stan, you’ll come back again and again. EVEN… If it’s out of your way. He’s more than worth the trip !

My hairdresser Stas, told me he is now at a local barbershop in Queens, now normally I usually see him at the beauty salon in NYC.
I had to follow him where ever he goes because he is fantastic. At first I was hesitant because it’s a barber shop due to mostly male clientele but my concerns was put to rest everyone was very nice and welcoming and my stylist did an awesome job.
The shop was clean and everyone was very friendly!!!

My boyfriend insisted on writing this review on this particular barbershop. Since my boyfriend is a college student, he can’t come as often as he wants. However, every time we return to queens my boyfriend would always come get a haircut.
The environment in the barbershop is great. I am always greeted by Alex with open arms even though i am not the one getting the haircut. They are quick and efficient and tries to please all their customers. My boyfriend always leaves this place satisfied.
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a fresh cut.

Like I said before, you can’t go wrong with this barbershop. My boy Ben will hook you up. He’s an amazing barber and so is everyone else. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

My hair is a combination of nappy, wavy and curly. I would describe the texture to almost like a Brillo pad. A little side anecdote, I’ve been going to the same barber for almost a decade, and when I tried new barbers it would take them a longer than usually time to fade my hair, sometimes they would have a bedazzled look on their face while fading!
Anyways, this place turned me into a regular. Al is a great barber and not once did he have a problem cutting my hair. Usually I am very picky with the end result with new barbers, but the first time here I was very very satisfied.
Check this place out! The people here a friendly and they definitely know what they are doing! I would recommend calling ahead of time as this place can get busy.

I normally don’t write reviews but this place is pretty amazing. It has a nice large open space on the inside and accepts appointments. Only $ 14 for a nice haircut. They work pretty fast too.
The barbers are pretty friendly and will give you suggestions and actually do what you ask them to. After only three visits some of them already recognize me so they actually remember their customers too!
Will continue going to this place, I would recommend it to anyone.

Alex has been my barber for over the past year. I drive from the city to elmhurst just to get my haircut. I’ve had my fair share of barbers for the past 8 years or so but have never stuck with one for this long.
The shop itself is very clean and all the barber seems to be chill folks. Alex always greet when you come in and that’s a nice touch. Sometimes he does get backed up and you end up waiting 5 – 10 minutes before your appointment, but it’s whatever for me. I know he’ll take good care of me when it’s my turn. There’s usually something good to watch on tv in the meantime anyways.
Regular haircuts were $ 12 when I first went, but went up to $ 14 recently. Still cheaper than all the places I’ve been. Definitely worth every penny.
ATM are $ 1.50 if you are low on cash.
