I've been bringing my son here for the past year, it's a decent neighborhood place and the owner is super nice and accommodating. He does most cuts and even makes recommendations and best of all, his pricing is very competitive. It's a small shop and he's honest if you'll be waiting. Lots of places within walking distance if you need to come back in 20-30min, good bagels, Dunkin' and corner deli.

Highly recommend. I've been going to Vlad for over 20 years. Very nice man. Family oriented. He was they only person we considered to cut my son's hair for the first time, now he is 12 and he can't wait till his next haircut.

Ask for Mario! He is a true gentleman. My grandfather went to him as did my father. I have my go-to barbers and hair stylists all across Long Island and across the boroughs, however, when it comes to a perfect scissor haircut, Mario is the master. He is a perfectionist through and through. Watching him work is like watching a sculpturist in action. Somehow, he is able to multitask with fun and witty banter and conversation all while staying completely focused and in the zone. He makes it look easy. He used to work at a unisex salon called Hair Touch, over on 69th ave. He was there for decades, as was their whole team! Eventually, to my best knowledge, most of their loyal clientele were aging and were progressing further and further into their later years. Eventually, they closed down shop. It was very sad to see but they have tons to be proud of. They served many many generations of families within their community and Mario continues on their legacy here at Elegant Barber Shop. He's as funny, honest, and skilled as they come. Tell Mario, Jared sent you. If he asks which Jared, say Joey's son. If he asks which Joey, say one of Charlie and Ethel's sons. If he's asks whose Charlie and Ethel, tell him Jared said he better go see a doctor =) PS - Don't be late to your appointment, not even a minute! He'll roast you good for it... ohh how I was roasted. Learned my lesson quick!
