As I walked into the store for the first time, I met Eugene, who was immediately very nice and professional. He really knows men’s cuts and is a pleasure to talk to. His work was so good that my partner told me it was my best haircut ever. Since then, I’ve been coming back to him regularly, and I highly recommend him.
Clean fades & scissor mastery — classic craft, modern style
I had an amazing experience with Sam! I asked for a medium fade, and he nailed it perfectly—exactly how I envisioned it. After trying five different barbershops in the neighborhood and never quite getting it right, I’m so glad I found Sam. He took his time, didn’t rush, and paid attention to every detail. It’s clear he cares about his craft. I’m definitely coming back in three weeks. Finally, a barber I can trust! Highly recommend
Always gives a consistently great haircut at a wonderful price.
Been to multiple places for haircuts but this place is absolutely the best. Service and people are great! Highly recommend!
Sam helped me during an emergency. I got the worst haircut of my life the previous night from a different shop and Sam fixed me up and is making me look as presentable as possible. I highly recommend and will be back soo
Best barber shop on the UES in my opinion! The guys are professional and skilled! Highly recommend coming here if you need a shave or a cut!
Eugene is truly an excellent barber. Never rushes and never cuts corners to get you out of the chair. Very skilled and very consistent. Hard to find.
Sam and Eugene have taken good care of me. Eugene has also done a great job with both of my sons who have longer and more difficult hair to cut. They can and have “fixed” haircuts from well-intentioned grandparents.

Classic barber shop! I stop in every month for a quick haircut. Walk-ins are welcome and even when it’s busy, I don’t have to wait long. Eugene is great and always remembers my preferences exactly. Friendly and budget-friendly (men’s cut = ~$35). I particularly enjoy the final touch-ups with an old-fashioned straight razor. Glad to have this place just a few blocks from my apartment.

Manhattan Barber Shop in New York – Men’s Haircuts on the Upper East Side
If you live or work in New York, especially around the Upper East Side, you know how hard it is to find a barber you can trust.
Not just someone who cuts hair — but someone who actually listens, knows fades, understands head shape, and gets it right every time.
A lot of people come to Manhattan Barber Shop after trying a few places in Manhattan and feeling disappointed. Too rushed. Too expensive. Or the haircut looks fine in the chair, but wrong the next morning.
Here, the focus is simple:
clean fades, solid men’s haircuts, and a relaxed barbershop you can walk into without stress.

My approach is simple and honest: I start with diagnostics—head shape, cowlicks, growth pattern, your styling habits. Then I design the form around your features and lifestyle: I choose lengths and textures so the haircut holds its form for at least 3 weeks, doesn’t require unnecessary styling products, and looks sharp without a barber.

A Neighborhood Barbershop in the Upper East Side, Manhattan
Manhattan Barber Shop is a local barbershop built for everyday life in New York.
We see regulars from the Upper East Side, guys coming in from attaching neighborhoods, and people who just moved to Manhattan and want a place they can stick with.
This is not a rushed chain shop.
And not an over-styled place that forgets the basics.
Our barbers work with clippers and scissors every day.
Clean fades only. Sharp lines. Natural results.
Walk in, sit down, explain what you want — or don’t say much at all. Most of the time, we already know what will work.
REUZEL
From Rotterdam's Schorem barbers, Reuzel pomades create any style: high shine for classic slick-backs or a matte finish for modern texture. Provides a rock-solid, all-day hold for any look we craft.
RUGER
Ruger styling products provide a clean, reliable hold with precision and control. The finish is natural and effective, keeping your look sharp all day without the fuss. Our choice for straightforward performance.
PRORASO
The Italian benchmark for a classic shave since 1948. Proraso’s formulas guarantee a close, comfortable shave without irritation. Its pre-shave cream preps skin and softens the beard for a perfect glide. A tradition of quality.
SLICK GORILLA
The secret to modern, effortless texture. Slick Gorilla's powder delivers instant, weightless volume with a strong matte hold. The essential tool for creating sharp, reworkable messy styles.
