    I've been visiting John for the past several years and he's become an indispensable aspect of my monthly routine. Anyone who knows me is deeply familiar with my frugality, so it should serve as no surprise that I especially appreciate this barber shop for having only raised their prices for a haircut -once- in the past seven years I've been a patron. Note, that's been from $20 a cut to a whopping $22, even throughout the pandemic. Name any other product or service that's seen a mere 10% increase in that same span of time. It's a no-frills joint, but when you're here, you're basically family. The trio of barbers banter in Sicilian (it took me months to finally build up the courage to ask, because I could pick up bits and pieces of their conversations, but could never actually figure out whether they were speaking some obscure Spanish or Italian dialect), and the TV is typically playing a soccer game in the background. Speaking of the pandemic, since they reopened a couple years back, I've found that it's worth calling to book an appointment in advance. Although they accept walk-ins once again, I've discovered it's best to minimize wait times. I've never run into an issue with being able to book a convenient time, and it probably helps them load balance throughout the day, too. If you're looking for a basic, easy haircut, don't want to drop a fortune, and you're in the Village, I dare you to point me to a better spot than Mr. John. Occasionally, I might find that I need to do a little post-cut cleanup to shore up some rough edges, but this is a modest inconvenience relative to the value of their price point.

    Old styled barber. Went to get rid of my split ends in my long hair. May be pricier than I remember from years ago, but these guys get the job done, even shaving your neck with shaving cream and a barber's blade.

    What an awesome old school barbershop! I was staying at a hotel around the corner so hit this place up mainly because it was so close, but also the terrific reviews. This place is the real deal! The guys are super nice, and my barber (forgot his name, sorry) just simply knew what he was doing! I was in and out in about 20 minutes but it never felt rushed. I really liked it and better yet my wife loved it. It's my new go-to whenever I'm in NY.Service: Haircut
