Patrick’s of Union Street

Fast professional friendly staff is what we all want right? Well at Patrick’s you get that and an amazing haircut with a hot shave. Would highly recommend

Best place to get a haircut in Schenectady hands down! The prices are great, the staff is very professional and the shop is exceptionally clean. I highly recommend Patrick and his staff to anyone who is looking to get a great haircut in town.

I appreciate how completely these barbers commit to the cut and shave.
Never encountered a place like this before.
Low-​key, serious, friendly. In just two visits saw the whole range of cuts standard to unique, customers from older guys to young kids, hipster to pdd.

Have been going to Patrick’s for over 15 years now. Very professional. He give the best hair cuts. Best barber shop in the area

They were very professional and friendly. They gave me probably the best haircut of my life. $ 18 for a haircut and a neck shave, can’t beat that. I will definitely be back again!

Great place for a cut. 3 professionals. Mens cut is $ 18. Patrick sells his own hair products. From no to minimal wait time. Free lollipop!

Been coming here for awhile now got a recommendation from a friend was skeptical at first, best cuts I have gotten with the friendliest environment not just the normal barber small talk. Any chair you sit in you get a quality cut I personally go to Blake, he saved me from the demon barber of fleet streets haircut and I’ve been loyal ever since. Ice cold air is a plus in the summer.

Best barbershop around I’m there every 2 weeks for a cut.

An old time men’s only Barber Shop on Upper Union Street. Great cuts, great characters and friendly. Stop by today and get a new look.

Remember the old-​school barber shop your Dad took you to? Stuck in the 50s, with Sinatra playing on a tinny radio, autographed pictures of Mel Tormé, Mickey Rooney, and Leo Durocher on the wall, a stack of Playboys and Popular Science, and the smell of menthol and aqua velva fighting it out.
Patrick’s is the modern update of this shop, in that it is stuck in the 90s. Metal and contemporary rock playing on the stereo, autographed photos of Ace Frehley, Tom Hanks, and Pat Riley on the wall, stacks of GQ and Sports Illustrated, purple neon fighting with the smell of hair gel.
This noted, we came on a three-​chair day that was quite busy so I got to watch a lot of heads getting cut before I had my entire crew sheared, and the cuts are, yes, a cut above average, and you pay for it ($ 18 vs. the fairly standard $ 14 in other shops). I’d say if you want to look sharp, this is the place to go in old Nisky/​Upper Union, because the extra $ 4 is fairly apparent in the quality. The stylists (barbers? hard to say where that line is in this shop, it’s a male-​oriented barber, not a salon) were very patient with the kids and took a great deal of care on little grooming details.
If you want to up-​do your ‘do, decently recommended.

I was looking for a quick place to get my «hair did» and stumbled upon this great little gem on Union Street near the Central Park. Upon entering the barber shop, I was greeted by both Nick and the owner Patrick. They were both very professional while still keeping the experience relaxed and fun. But more importantly, Nick did a fantastic job with both my haircut and beard trim. He was very attentive, his detailing work was excellent, and it only cost me $ 26 for both the haircut and beard trim. Needless to say, I highly recommend Patrick’s and will be going back again, so give em a shot.
