Been going to Ruben for a couple months now and I can easily say he’s my favorite barber in NYC. Takes care of his customers and gives great consistent cuts every time!

Meir S

Best barbershop! The staff is very friendly and welcoming and the haircut was great! Highly recommended!

furqan syed

Great barbershop. I they did a great cut and really took the time to cut and style my hair. Make sure to bring cash to pay

ben green

Best barber shop in East Village- i tried a few places when I first moved around here and once I found this one I haven’t gone anywhere else and have gotten a great haircut every time

Christopher Stults

I've been coming to Ruben's shop for over two years and his barbershop is the best in town! I no longer live in the East Village, having moved to Hamilton Heights recently, but I always make a point to come here to get my haircut. They offer a free beer with your haircut, great hair wash with scalp massage service. If you want to get your haircut, have a few laughs with the friendly staff and customers, this is the place to come!

East Village Barbershop is the best barbershop I’ve been to in a long long time. Ruben is brilliant. If barbers are great listeners, Ruben is the epitome. He will engage you, make you feel so comfortable, and understand all that you want in a cut, and even more about you, in no time at all. You see, Ruben is a true master, he hears you wholly and cuts, trims, fades your hair and your beard in ways only possible because he sees you when he hears you. You walk in, he is already listening. The hot towel to finish, so great! This is the best of the best. Go to this barbershop!! For a great haircut yes, and to feel so great about life, yes that too!

Spencer Schiller

Truly my favorite place to get a haircut of all time. I’ve probably gotten 12 haircuts from Ruben over the past 2 years, and every single one has been excellent. The barber shop is right next to me in the East Village, and it’s strikingly easy to walk in and get a cut. I could not recommend this place more, especially if you’re a guy who has struggled with finding good haircuts in the past. Definitely check out East Village Barbershop.

Dylan Cowette

Started coming here in 2019 and I found it online and ever since I’ve been coming back as I can’t trust anyone else besides Ruben to cut my hair. Best barbershop in east village hands down

Mac Adelman

East Village Barbershop is hands down my favorite barbershop in NYC! Ruben, the owner, is the most charismatic (not to mention talented) barber I’ve encountered so far. When I step into his shop I feel like a friend, not a customer. Before COVID I would get my haircut and be in there for an hour longer just talking with Ruben and the other customers. It’s really a great place for the community! Also, the haircut you get will be great! Stay sexy!

Paul Bevan

I've been coming to Ruben for 5 years, and at this point I can't imagine finding anyone who could give me a better haircut. Or anyone who takes the needs of his customers more seriously. At the start of the pandemic, I moved to CT and having tried a couple of places up here, I now drive 90 mins to the city every month just for a haircut. Being in the music and entertainment industry, having a fashionable look is extremely important, and I always know I'm going to leave Ruben looking great.

Sean Harger

Great barber shop. Staff is super friendly and the haircut was excellent!

John Vaccaro

I've been coming here for over a year, found it by walking around the corner from my East Village apartment. Can't possibly say anything bad about the haircuts. Amazing cuts every time, always offer a beer, and a fun environment. Ruben and his team do an amazing job! I've had a cut from pretty much everybody there, and the service is excellent across the board! You'd be crazy to not get your hair cut here.

Billy Tiano

Amazing experience here, my friend wanted to come here yesterday to get cleaned up and received the best haircut of his life. I didn't even think I need a haircut, or at least I thought, but really hit it off with Ruben. This guy is awesome, from how he interacts with his customers and even folks in the East Village neighborhood. I actually came back today, just to get a haircut by him. By far the best barbershop experience I've ever had! Ruben and his staff will do what you want, and provide the best suggestion to have you looking your best!

Darren T

Found the barbershop on Instagram and saw the amazing work that the owner does cutting hair in the photos posted online. Ruben the owner and my main barber is super cool and easy to get along with. It's all about the quality of the hair cut and service hospitality you are greeted with here. Everyone is welcoming and you can kick back and enjoy yourself a beer as you get your fresh cut. Highly recommend coming here, it's worth the price for what you get here at east village barbershop so go check it out whenever you get the chance.

Brett Kelly

Ruben is the best and this barbershop is an awesome experience. It combines good haircuts with a good atmosphere. Be prepared for a few zingers and jokes but it's what gives this place it's character. Ruben is the business owner and lead barber but what makes it great is that all of his guys are just as good. In addition to listening what it is that you want, they'll make recommendations to improve your cut. Highly recommend checking it out.

martin walters

Ruben is absolutely fantastic. First off,his devotion and love for what he does show each time that I see him;this is true not only for myself, but for all his clients. It is also amazing how Ruben remembers each client's desires for their cut. In terms of the actual haircut, all I can say is that when I leave from his chair, the haircut is flawless and amazing ; the same holds true for my beard. Beyond that, the barbershop is friendly and welcoming and Ruben is an awesome and funny guy. I am moving in a few weeks and my first google map search was for how far my new place is from the East Village Barbershop. It is also amazing how Ruben stayed late to give me a haircut because he knew that I would be having surgery the next day. If you are looking for a true master at what he does and want to look great , go to EVB and ask for Ruben. Trust me, you will thank me.

Joshua Fischman

My experience at east village has always been exceptional. It took me almost four months to find a good barbershop on the area and now I send all my friends here. The lively atmosphere and friendliness of the staff is bar none. Reuben the owner prides himself on his amazing work and holds his team to the same standard. My first experience was great starting with the beer when I walked in and ending with an amazing cut. Since then I only come here because of the work. Reuben might as well be the mayor of the neighborhood because not one moment ever goes by without someone stopping in to say hello or him knowing everyone that walks by. He makes an amazing effort to know about everyone that comes in and remembers everything even if they only came once. This shop is truly a call act with some of the best cuts in the city.

neer sachar

Amazing service. I feel at home here! I recently moved uptown and still make the commute down to the east village for my haircuts every two weeks. Highly recommended for anyone who cares about their appearance. What I love most is that they actually take time to cater to the customer's request as opposed to other barber shops that hurry to get you out. In my opinion, a haircut is a personal experience specific to each customer and should be treated like one. Definitely not an assembly line like feel in this place.

Anand Oza

I had a great haircut today from Ruben. I found great reviews of this place on Yelp two years ago when I moved to NYC and decided to check it out. Haven't gone to another place since. Great vibe, friendly people and great haircut for a reasonable price. And great conversation! Ruben seemingly knows every language, so you'll feel at home wherever you're from.

Danny Baide

I found this place while walking a couple English bulldogs down the block. Ruben, the owner, stopped me immediately to ask about the dogs. We casualty chatted for a bit and I quickly noticed that he and this place are super laid back. Ruben loves his customers and every time I'm here, it's obvious they love him back. I've had my hair cut by 4 different barbers now. All experiences have been excellent. There's an unusual paradox that occurs when I get my hair cut here. Normally, my hair cuts look good for about three weeks. Then they lose their shape/form. The cuts I get here keep their form for over 1 month. Which means I don't have to get my haircut as often. So they lose business because their cuts are so good and last so long (just kidding, they stay busy). Definitely recommend these guys. PS: they give you a free Corona every time you walk in.

Austin Rock

My favorite place in NYC to get my hair cut. Ruben and his entire team all do a great job, so you can walk in without an appointment and never have to worry about having to wait for the one barber you like. $25 is a steal for the quality and attention to detail you get, and it comes with an (optional) free hair wash and beer. Have recommended to all of my friends.

Ahmed Karkoura

I come from Egypt, a friend from work recommended East Village Barber Shop and let me tell you it's one of the very few good haircuts I've had ever since coming to the USA. Ruben, one of the barbers there, hooked me up and everything was on point. Great and friendly barber. Amazing music!

Nicholas Baglio

Found this place 3 years ago when I moved into the neighborhood. Ruben the owner is the absolute man and always has a smile on his face and a joke to tell. Even when I moved uptown I kept traveling to EV Barbershop to get the most consistent haircut in the city. I've since moved back to the neighborhood and this is still the only place I would ever think of getting my haircut. The hair wash and free beer makes you feel right at home and a great way to unwind from a long day at work. If you're looking for a great haircut experience, definitely don't waste your time anywhere else. This place is legit and will always have you looking your best. Also the Layrite product is all natural and will have your hair looking like you stepped right out of the chair and styled by the legend Ruben himself.

Alexander Lee

Been coming here for half a year now. Best barbershop in town. Went to a bunch of other places but have never found a spot where I can always get a good cut. Highly recommend this spot. Barbers are all laid back and the environment is very welcoming and chill. Best hair washes/scalp massages. They also give you complementary beer while you're either waiting or getting a cut! Can't beat that service!

Fergus Barragry

Great place for a great haircut, my friend Ruben always does a terrific job! Been coming for a year and a half, I saw it on my way to work one day and figured it would be good for a try and couldn't be happier! My mother loves short hair and she comes here too, it's their speciality. Really great shop! :)

Phillip Rodriguez

Moved to NYC six months ago and saw stellar reviews for East Village barber shop, mostly about the owner Ruben. I have been a customer ever since and I wouldn't go anywhere else in the city. Whether you get a cut by Ruben or any of the other barbers you will be satisfied every single time. The quality of their work is superb and environment at the shop is extremely enjoyable. If you're in the area I highly suggest going there.

Dylan B

I came across East Village Barbershop on my way to another barber and decided to give it a shot. Since then I've been going back and every time I've had an amazing haircut. Whether it's the free beer, straight razor, or eucalyptus hot hotel, there is something to be said about the quality and service here. As long as live in NY I'll be going to see Ruben and company.

james bambina

Ruben and his staff and East Village Barbershop will have you leaving in a smile. From the great atmosphere to the old barbershop seats. I have been a customer of Ruben's for over 10 years. I followed through 3 different shops in Queens and now into Manhattan. The haircut you get will be the best cut of your life. At East Village Barbershop you get an old fashioned hit shaving cream and straight razor finish and a hot towel with menthol rub around your whole head. This place is top notch. If you're looking for a barbershop you just found the last one you have to look for.

William Alexander Hodges

Have been coming here for three years. Great spot and a standby for me in the East Village. Wouldn’t look to get a haircut anywhere else. Never had a negative experience with any of their barbers, and always a fun conversation. Would highly recommend for anyone searching for a robust barbershop that’s mastered their trade.

svitto1

Ruben is an experienced and highly skilled barber. He’s a friendly face in the neighborhood that everyone loves. Highly recommend.

Joseph Tovar

My girlfriend and I went to eat across the street and I really needed a hair cut so we decide to give this place a shot and it was a best decision I made! This place already had a really good review and after the haircut the results really held up. Would I recommend this place to anyone looking for a fresh cut? Heck yes! The people here are really friendly and the service is great! This is my third time here and each time I've been here the hair cuts have been A+. Looking for a new spot for your cut? This is the place.

Joshua Seldman

I have gone to probably every barber in the east village over the last 10 years and I finally found an east village barber shop that I can go to now for the best hair cut. It's been over a year now getting Ruben to cut my hair and I only go here. This is the perfect cut... I don't ever post reviews but had to for Ruben as this barber shop is gem. I can't believe how affordable this is on top of it. It's a must in NYC.

Andrew Bregman

Great barbershop, friendly staff and wonderful haircuts!

Tash

Absolutely amazing place... Once you enter its a warm welcome, Ruben (The Hulk) is funny and is probably the best barber I have had the privilege of meeting in a very long time! Besides the amazing haircut, you will get a sarcastic-comedy show and a ice cold beer! What else can one ask for! Been coming here for more than 2 years and definitely don't need to find another place anytime in the future!!!!! 5 stars is not enough, nor fair to Ruben and his shop!

Kyle Findley

I moved to East Village, Manhattan about 7 months ago, when I first moved into the building next door, Ruben greeted me and my roommate as we moved our things into our building. Right away, with his witty jokes and hospitality made me want to stop by for a haircut. Besides being right next door, this shop is super easy to find for anyone looking for a great haircut in NYC. Ruben never forgets a face, and every time I leave my apartment, he and his staff take the time to wave or say hello. The staff are professional, fast, and deliver fantastic cuts, but the biggest thing that stands out is humor. Anytime I stop in for a haircut or a quick hello, I leave laughing. If you are guy looking for a great cut in NYC, come by for a beer and a great cut!

Elvis Leon

I have been going to this shop for almost a year now, and am very happy to have this team work with my hair. I consistently get complements on my cuts. Furthermore, Ruben always gives me a ideas on new looks and takes it to another level. Don't let negative reviews fool you, this shop is legit and is all about making you feel good one cut at a time.

Roderic David

East Village Barbershop is great. Found this place on a whim on Google, and have been coming back for almost two years. Ruben and his staff are very knowledgeable and professional, and have helped me through many hairstyles. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a fun place to get their hair cut in the east village.

Tejeyu Khanolkar

Been coming here a year now, DEFINITELY worth it. Great haircuts and the eucalyptus towels are amazing. Also, Ruben (the owner) is a blast. They’ve got a dog (sometimes) who’s adorable. The proximity to some of the best restaurants doesn’t hurt either.

Jacob Simany

The best feeling in the world is walking out of this barber shop after getting a flawless cut. I have referred everyone I know to this particular shop. It is one of a kind. My friend and I had just moved into the east village just a couple of months ago and we were on the hunt for a barber shop. We walked around the area checking out multiple barber shops. To see if they were good, we waited around until finished customers came out. After seeing a few shops that did not meet our standards (which are extremely high), we finally spotted the East Village Barbershop. This place was shelling customers out with the freshest cuts I have ever seen. I have been coming back and sending each and every one of my friends to this shop since. Ruben and his team of barbers treat their customers like family as each and every cut is carried out with genuine integrity and flawless work. I will be coming back to this barbershop for the rest of my life.

Stephen Karaolis

Ruben gives me a great haircut. He takes the time on the details of my hair unlike most barbers. He goes the extra mile by making sure all of lines are perfect, trimming the edges of my beard without me even having to ask, and gives me a hot towel also at no charge. The price can't be beat for the quality haircut you'll get at the east village barber shop. It's a great atmosphere also and you'll come out looking sexy.

David Rosenberger

New to the East Village I thought it would take forever to find the barbershop for me. It turned out the best one is right on my block. Ruben is always excited to see you and treats everyone as you would a friend. It’s easy to tell how important it is to him that you leave looking and feeling your best no matter who’s chair your in. I’ve consistently loved the cuts and am always getting compliments. Also importantly his prices are affordable and the vintage chairs are really nice.

Nolan Feng

5 star recommended!!! Been with them for a while, great customer service, amazing skills, talented staff, friendly environment. It takes me a while to get to their shop but totally worth it. They offer free ice beer which is 🎁😁, more to that, after a fresh haircut they always cover the hot towel around one's head, when they open the towel.... I always feel like a brand new person, walking out that barbershop with confidence lol.

Chuck Erdmann

Great people and great barbers. Matt keeps me sexy

Kevin L

It's hard to find a trustworthy barber, especially when it comes to Asian hair. But Ruben is exceptional! Before he even cuts, he visualizes how the cut should be done and how to make it to suit your needs. I came in with a ruined haircut and he completely redesigned and redid my look. I've been coming for the past 13 months and I won't go anywhere else for a cut. Plus it's right next to Snowdays :)

Nick Mirabile

Moved to NYC 2 years ago and after a bad experience somewhere else I came to here and I haven’t gone anywhere else since. Not only does Ruben give great cuts and hire great barbers, he’s also hilarious so going in is always a good time. Would definitely recommend.

Anton Sulzhenko

Tried several different places for about a year until my wife found this place on Instagram: @eastvillagebarbershop Since then, I’ve been visiting East Village Barbershop for two years now and would not go anywhere else. It is a great atmosphere; the entire team is highly talented and attentive. I've never had a problem with a cut there and feel I come out looking the best compared to other shops. The location is pretty good, I live in Jersey City Downtown and it takes me 30 mins to get there and it is definitely worth it. The pure attention to detail and level of care given to every customer has earned my business for the future.

mouram86

I walked by the place, looked very clean and professional, I decided to give it a try and loved it. It's been about half a year since I've been coming here and it's the best barbershop in the east village, NYC. When you get a Hairwash, they give a really nice scalp massage and top it off with a free beer. My personal favorite haircut in all of the city, the vibe and peeps are really cool and I would definitely recommend this place.

Justin Smith

I've been coming here for two years now; never thought it could be so much fun to get a haircut...the barbers are unlike any other (prepare to laugh) and the haircuts themselves are always good and neat. Plus it's always great to get offered a free beer every time I walk in the door. Definitely recommend!

Colin Surprenant

I started coming to East Village Barbershop when I moved back to the neighborhood 2 years ago. Not only do they give solid haircuts, but they make the experience a lot of fun. The staff is on point, the cold beer is a nice touch and good music is always playing. Highly recommend it!

Brenton

A wonderful haircut. I've gone several times and have never gotten a cut I'm unhappy with. They know how to cut men's hair and they know how to give a fashionable, clean, modern look. Their personality is also great and keeps you entertained as they make your hair look amazing. Fast, friendly, and with flawless style.

Julio Pichardo

I walked in to the east village barber shop with my friend. I wasn't planning on get my hair cut, but a beautiful young lady named Inna asked me if I wanted my hair washed and I figured, why not. Best Decision I ever made! Not only did she wash my hair, but she gave me a remarkable scalp massage too! Best part it was only 5 bucks!!!! Great place

Aakash Rana

Wow. I’m a new resident of New York and I am extremely picky with who touches my hair. Ruben has the hands of a surgeon! This man works wonders with all kinds of hair types and styles. The ambience in the shop makes me feel at home, especially when the workers welcome you with a warm smile and a fresh complimentary beer. I recommend all my friends to come here just to even have a chat with Ruben, he’s the epitome of New York culture.

Rajon Miller

This shop is great! My friend recommended it, when I moved to NYC and I've never been disappointed. Service is always excellent, the cuts are fantastic and the shop has such a fun neighborhood vibe! Ruben is amazing, he's such a great barber and he makes your time there really enjoyable. I'd recommend to anyone!

hope Grimm

We found this shop by accident but are very happy with the results. My son’s hair is super thick and wavy. We’ve had so many bad cuts from other shops. But East Village barbershop has always cut his hair to perfection. This is the real deal!

brandon sassouni

Tried a lot of places in manhattan, but they gave me the best haircut out of any barbershop here. Its just $10 more than the cheap places with a wash included. Great guys, and they don’t rush a good cut. Definitely would recommend and return again. Found my spot.

Mark Schuetz

Been coming here since they opened about 8 years ago in the neighborhood. I actually moved to a different neighborhood but keep coming back because you can't beat this place. Best cuts around, consistent quality, and always good people and a positive vibe in the shop. Ruben is the man!

inffy inf

By far my favorite place to get a cut. The people are overly nice, “they listen”. You get exactly what you want. A great atmosphere, music and a free beers! Best part, they except crypto

Azam

I was staying in Abu Dhabi for a few months and couldn't find a decent barber. Made a new buddy, who was also from New York and was having the same troubles. After talking about the best fades, it turns out we both only trust Ruben at EVB with our hair. What a small world. Just got back to New York after 5 months and he's the first person I paid a visit to. Got a fresh cut and a sick fade -all is back to how it should be-. I've been coming here since it opened (around 5 years now); Ruben's work has made me a loyal client and a friend.

Mark Gallo

Here on holidays from Australia. Always hard to find a good barber for stubborn Asian hair. Saw the awesome reviews for this place. By far the best haircut I've ever had. Service from start to finish was brilliant. And my fresh fade is awesome.

Alex Chin Fong

Walked by 2 years ago looking for a new spot and I never had to look again. Always good vibes, good people, and most importantly the best haircuts. Always walk out feeling good after a haircut from here. Ruben is the mayor of the neighborhood. He greets everyone that walks by.

Justin Mandel

East Village Barber Shop. Best cut, best prices. I've been to about 15 different barber shops in NYC. I won't go anywhere else. Staff is amazing. personality. Always have a good laugh. I selfishly hope the word doesn't get out so I never have to wait. Go here if you want a great haircut at an unbeatable price.

Joe Geinert

The haircuts are consistently very good (I get compliments on my haircut constantly) but the real joy of EVB is the hospitality. Reuben, Julia, and a rotating cast of characters care about the people in the chair- they do good work because they want you to have a good haircut, not because "it's their job." Make sure you get a hair wash. $5 is a steal to have a beautiful woman massage your scalp and shampoo your hair once a month.

Ivan Ortiz

A friend recommended this place, and so far after three haircuts I've been very satisfied. Ruben and the guys are not only crafty and accommodating behind the barber's chair, but they also provide a nice, easygoing and humorous environment. I definitely recommend the EVB to anyone seeking a quality haircut in NYC.

Louis Rassaby

I live a couple blocks away from East Village barbershop and I've been coming here for the last two years. It has a reputation in the East Village for a great haircut and a unique experience. You'll love it as long as you're willing to check political correctness at the door. It reminds me of the restaurant "Dick's Last Resort", where the waiters put intentionally insulting things on people's heads. Ruben, the owner, gives you a beer and then will mess with you while you're getting your haircut so much you'll forget what political correctness is. He's a great guy, super open, and the more you get to know him the more he messes with you. All the barbers do an awesome haircut and the price is great. I'm moving soon to Brooklyn but I'll keep coming back as long as I'm in New York.

Andrew Maser

Coming from someone who, 10 years ago, spent an afternoon in Union Square and asked where certain passerby’s received their proper fades (e.g., only those with haircuts worthy of the question), you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t swing by and get a cut from Ruben. Master of his craft is an understatement. Enjoy as much as I have.

Kush Kalra

So I have been coming here for quite a bit now. Ruben is a hysterical man who is truly amazing at cutting hair. I recommended a friend to visit Ruben cause he had been frustrated with his current barber. My friend came in,and asked for Ruben the next day. This kids aesthetic had completely changed. So different that we went out that night and he pulled right away. Friends, guys especially this is not a joke. Visit the barber shop and ask for Ruben!

Kai Ito

Truly an incredible barbershop! Welcomed me from the beginning with open ears and open arms! Lots of laughs and smiles. The best haircut experience in the City! Ruben made me sexy looking, absolutely!!

Terrance Xin

East village barbershop is the only place i go to get a haircut in NYC. Ruben is a hilarious guy with sharp techniques, best cut every time. i enjoy and look forward to coming here, every 2 or 3 weeks. highly highly recommended!!

Sam Hart

Love this place! Tried 2 other barbershops in East Village first when I moved to NYC. This spot has the best vibe by far. Hilarious owner, good music, and always a quality haircut. I definitely recommend this place all the time. Get your hair cut here

Mike Harrison

My friend sent me over to this barbershop. Great experience! Head massage with shampoo was a good choice to start. Very relaxing. Ruben gave me a great haircut. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Rei Soto

After trying out a handful of "top barbershops" in Manhattan, I finally came across East Village Barbershop. I've only had my hair cut with Lana and one other gentleman whose name I unfortunately don't know. Lana is fantastic! She listens and produces exactly what I request. She takes her time, minding the details, turning a simple haircut into a great haircut! I don't ask for anything extravagant. Just a fade or short all around. But she makes my hair look great. Honestly, probably the best looking fade I've ever gotten anywhere! I've tried a few "top" shops in Manhattan and have been thoroughly disappointed. When you walk in you are greeted by all the barbers. Everyone is in good spirits. You are asked if you would like your hair washed, which I have yet to partake in. And you are asked if you would like a complimentary beer, which also I have yet to partake in. The whole staff is very warm and friendly. Reuben is a great owner as he interacts with everyone. He asks everyone's name. Tries to get to know you. He has a great big sense of humor and he will definitely joke with you. So if you're shy, be ready to interact a little. I'm a little shy myself but I appreciate the lively atmosphere. Reuben is cool as hell though and his humor will keep you on your toes. You may just have yourself a few belly laughs, which is always a good thing! I definitely have!

Norm Clausen

Ruben and the boys rock. I get an amazing haircut every time, and spend the whole time laughing. Trusted them to cut my hair before my wedding and every other important event over the past few year--never let me down. Great customer service as well--hot towel service afterwards and beers while you wait.

Matthew Vitebsky

East Village's hidden gem! This place is more than a barbershop, it's a place to gather, to chat, to drink and to laugh. Ruben runs an amazing establishment that is only bested by the each of the barber's unique skill. Hair washes with scalp massages, free beer, and a beautiful pup add to an amazing haircut experience.

Riley Donigan

Tried a bunch of barber shops in the area once I moved here and got some pretty terrible haircuts. Found this barbershop and I’ll never go anywhere else again. Love the guys that work there too.

Eric Li

Needed a new barber and found this place on yelp. Five stars is not enough. They treat you well with a nice cold beer while you wait. Hair washes are not just hair washes, it's a full on scalp and shoulder massage. That's before even getting to the haircut. Never been disappointed with their work. Stop by and they'll make you sexy, without fail.

Michael Browning

Great barber shop. I am new to NYC and this was my third cut. My barber, Ace, could not have been nicer and certainly gave me the best haircut I've had in years. I also got the hot shave, and he did an amazing job. I have found my new barber shop and barber.

Philip Kenner

Love going to East Village Barbershop. Been going here for every haircut for 4+ years, and I always love the final product. I’d recommend getting a hair wash when you come in. It’s always the most relaxing part, and my hair feels great after.

Omar N

East village barbershop is my go to place for a cut. Hella precise cuts and they really take they're time with each customer. You will never regret getting a cut from here. Also Ruben is the greatest man alive. Never a dull conversation with him and the music he plays is straight fire. If I could, I'd give him 10/10, but Google only offers 5. #EastVilliageBarbershopFTW

shafagh abbasi

Ruben has been cutting my hair for the last two years. Best barbershop in NYC. They offer free beer, hair wash with a good scalp massage. The barber shop is very friendly with a good vibe.

Luis Collado

Came downtown for a interview one day and after it was done I googled barbershops in the area and east village barbershop popped up so I figured I'd give it a try. Coming from Washington heights I didn't expect much but I must say I was wrong. Literally the best haircut I had in years. Even though I have to travel a little bit it's definitely worth it. Real friendly first time I ever had a beer in a barbershop. Real cool people great cuts can't go wrong

KB

Was recommended east village barbershop by a colleague at work 4 years ago and have been coming ever since. Ruben is the best barber in town, and he runs an affordable, and relaxing shop. Highly recommend !

Sam Farnham

For Ruben, it's all about making sure you leave liking the way you look and feeling good. He cares so much about his shop and making sure you have a good experience there that is constantly trying to think of new ways to make the experience better (and bouncing the ideas off you while you get a trim). If you want to get a haircut from a pro and someone who cares about and remembers his customers, go to Ruben. 100%.

Syed Naqvi

It was a great experience. Ruben has a great jolly personality. Everybody in the neighborhood knows him. I actually suggested him to run for councilman election. To put it in a nutshell if you want great hair cut East Village barbershop is the place. Ali

Recently moved to the East Village and happened to stumble upon this amazing Barber Shop. Probably one of the best haircuts I have had. Fades on point music on point people on point. Making this my normal barbershop in New York City! RUBIN IS THE BEST!

Alehandro Briton

I moved from Atlanta to New York about a year and half ago and walked in East Village barbershop with my friend from Atlanta. Best decision I have ever made have not gone anywhere since them. When he went back to Atlanta everyone wanted to go to the barbershop where he got his cut from. Fortunately for me I live in New York and come frequently it's not just a cut it's an experience that you will never find at any other barbershop. Starting with the hair wash, the feeling I got was more than that it was more of a feeling of a scalp massage. Then comes the haircut witch is always top of the line no matter which barber you choose. Next, come the atmosphere, Every barber brings their own unique personality which makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. Finally for styling make sure you don't leave with out the Layrite pamade, the smoothness and texture of this product is like no other. Overall the best barbershop.

Hosie Neal

East Village barbershop has the best fades in NYC no matter the hair type Ruben the owner and head barber is an artist skilled at making all clients look there best. On top of that friendly environment and cool people make the experience the best most trustworthy haircut in the city...Check them out!!!!!

S Horvitz

Nothing but great things to say about my experience with Ruben. I've come to see him several times from Brooklyn. He even kept the shop open late for me when I was stuck in traffic one day. Ruben is friendly, experienced, and quick. And his cuts are not only limited to the standard barbershop styles. He'll do what you want, and do it well.

José Antonio Herrera

The only barbershop I've gone back to over the past 2 years. All pros working here. Good music, good conversation, great cuts. Never a long wait and they hustle. I showed up as they were closing once and they invited me in anyway. Great staff, positive energy from everyone.

Harris Marks

This is the best barbar shop in the City! When I first came into the shop I was tired of my old hairstyle. Ruben gave me a great new cut that was both stylish and professional. Great Vibe to this place and I would highly recommend coming through.

James Cochran

Been in the neighborhood for 3 years, by far my favorite place. Best haircuts and nice people inside. Get it exactly how you want it every time. Good atmosphere and music and beers!

Connie Chu

Every time I visit, the atmosphere is awesome, and Ruben is hilarious and super welcoming. I can always count on getting a quality haircut, and I always walk away satisfied. I definitely recommend East Village Barbershop!

A.D. Hackett

Moved back to New York from London and found EV Barbershop based off their high rating on FourSquare. The perfect, full-service barbershop. Right when you walk in the door, you're greeted with a beer. The barbers are some of the best in the City and if you're fortunate enough, ask for Ruben.

Jay Brigleb

I moved to New York from Australia and googled the place. I came in and got not only an awesome haircut but an hour of non stop laughter. If you want the best haircut and banter in the city, come here. Also has super cute chicks that work here who will give you a great hair wash and a cold beer.

Beau Martino

Visiting NY from CA and had some time to kill so naturally I went looking for a haircut. Came across this place and was pleasantly surprised to see a 5 star rating. Had my haircut with Avi and it was fantastic. Super friendly, great input and advice and made sure I was happy with everything. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in NYC.

Scott Simock

Fantastic hair cuts; my friends always compliment my hair after a cut from East Village Barbershop. Friendly whimsical barbers cutting hair in clean classic chairs. I've lived in the EV for over 10 years and have changed barbers at least 15 times because I'm particular. These guys know what's up.

David Goldstein

I've been getting my hair cut here since he opened up shop. Even though I've moved out of the east village, I still come back here for a quick cut. Ruben always delivers, and without any instruction. Top notch service for a walk-in just a few blocks from the L train.

Kyle Schwartz

This the best barbershop I ever been to in the entire city. They do a great job listening to you in order to make sure they give you the cut you want. I'm there about every 1-2 weeks and I leave feeling fresh every time.

Jacqui Dugal

Ruben is great! I always leave with a great cut and a good laugh. The shop is inviting and upbeat, offers you a wash and a beer and the best part is a minty hot towel after your cut! Good for female and males cuts.

Thomas Russo

Recommend by my roommate. Been coming here for few months now. Highly recommend! Environment is fun, high energy and the guys give awesome haircuts. Beer is available, music plays and Ruben is a funny guy.

Ryan Pellegrino

I met Ruben back almost ten years ago when he had his shop in Bayside Queens. He used to cut me and my dads hair perfectly every time. I then moved out of NYC for a while, came back and realized he wasnt in Bayside anymore! By a stroke of luck I found him here in the East Village and have been coming to him ever since. Him and his other barbers cut your hair with the most care and youll always come out looking great.

Anton Yaroshenko

When I moved to NYC I didnt know where to get my haircut, my friend recommended me this barber shop. I was amazed how amazing is service here, and how friendly employees here. Beer makes it even better. Now I'm regular costumer here, and I will not go to another barber shop. Strongly recommend East Village Barber Shop to everybody.

John Posso

Needed a haircut. EVB had 5 stars. Came through and had a great experience. Nice cuts and great customer service. Lots of barbershops in Atlanta but none will compare. Getting a cut is an experience here. Will not disappoint.

Nick Porter

You can't go wrong coming here, every time I come here I leave thinking that haircut was the best haircut I've ever had. Not only are the haircuts great, but everyone here is mad friendly and it's a fun place to get your haircut. Reuben is the man!

Kresiva Rivkah

I had my hair style saved by Reuban at East Village Barber shop. It is affordable and it is an Aveda Concept salon. This pleased me as a woman I care about my styling needs. I was walking home and felt awful about my hair. It was a hot ness. I couldn't deal with it another day. I passed his shop on the way home. He was closing but stayed open for me. He made my night by saving my hair. I recommend his shop highly.

Jeremy Goodman

I was walking around the East Village and saw the barbershop and after looking it up online, I came in. I've been here 3x now and have not been disappointed with the haircuts. Very friendly barbers and they do a terrific job. Many thanks. I will be back yet again.

Leonard M

East village barbershop is very professional. Rueben is very personable and delivers quality hairstyles. Definitely recommend to friends and family. My kid loves his cool haircuts he gets there.

Daniel Brickman

Always a great atmosphere and an even better haircut. I would highly recommend this barber shop over any other in Manhattan. The cost is affordable and the barbers always customize your haircut to your exact specifications, unlike most barber shops in Manhattan.

Andy James Alban

I stopped by for a walk in. I was so impressed. I remember leaving the chair and thinking to myself that this was the best haircut I have ever had. When I went to work, people were complementing me constantly. I was so happy. He is the man! The East Village finally has the best barbershop.

Collin Rhyins

This barbershop is great, Ruben is a great barber and funny , music is cool here . Cuts are 🔥 overall love it definitely recommend …

Ashley Davis

I found this barbershop when I was at working. I walked past and one of the barbers waved to me. The work looked precise so I decided to come back. I met this guy named Ruben who cut my hair and he has been #1 ever since. Coolest barbershop/ mini spa I've been to. Thumbs up.

Joseph Fede

Best barbershop in the city hands down for a fade. I've been looking since June and have been disappointed. I actually kept going back to Jersey for a cut. Finally some friends sent me to the lower East side to check out a few joints. They didn't look up to the task. I was walking around and found east village. Looked more like a salon, but saw the cut and trim another was receiving and I was rather impressed. Best decision walking in here

Nathan Barnett

Ruben and his barbers do a tremendous job and for a very reasonable price. Best value I've seen in the city for a clean men's haircut.

Colton Hudson

I've been coming here for the past six months and it's the best haircut in the city. Period. Great price too and the kicker is Ruben (The owner) is a terrific guy and a kickass barber. Get your haircut here at #eastvillagebarbershop

Anthony Shevlin

Been in here once before when my hair was past my shoulders. Didn't get the barbers name, but he transformed my entire look brilliantly. Couldn't have picked a better spot for such a major cut. Went again tonight, Nefa was precise and didn't rush anything. Another great experience. I'll be back.

Andrew Rodriguez

Had a great haircut, these were the only guys opened at a later hour and they were open past 7:30PM. In fact they stayed past 8. Great experience and awesome price, definitely coming back. Do yourself a favor and check this place out if you're tired of the Astor Place Chop Shop crap.

Joseph Pizzi

Best barber I have ever been to. Ruben is extreme skilled, really intuitive with what I wanted and he is also a great guy! You won't want to go anywhere else.

Grennan Milliken

I've been to the East Village Barbershop about three or four times now, which is a record for me when it comes to barbershops in the city. As someone who has not fully accepted the fact that his hair is on its way out, I've become picky about how I get it cut so I don't look like an idiot. And the run of mill barbershop hack job does just that. But not EV barbers. Straight razors, hot towels, attention to detail--all contribute to a really solid cut that I'm not afraid to show in public. And not only will you get a grade A cut, but you'll also be treated to banter that sitcom writers couldn't script on their best days. This time I even got a San Pellegrino Italian soda while I sat in the barber's chair. Hell yes.

Rocky Dale Davis

I'm a comedian from Brookwood, AL that just moved to New York. Looking for a place to get your hair cut in the city is crazy. My friend told me to go to Rueben at East Village. I walked in and was instantly treated by the Rueben who makes you feel like you were getting your hair cut at his house. He's from Russia and is truly a character that is a amazing barber and even better because he cuts it while you laugh the whole time. For the first time in my life I got my neck trimmed with a razor and now I can't get a hair cut anywhere else because of how amazing it is. If you need you a amazing hair cut from someone who makes you feel like their best friend this is the place. 5 Stars.

Erin Condiff

I had a great experience here. I only give 4 stars because the layout of the whole salon is a bit confusing. However, the man who worked on my hair was very conversational and that made up for the peculiarity of the salon in my case. I would go again!

Kevin Fuentes

Ruben as always delivered again with an amazing experience and a professional cut. Felt welcome the moment I walked through the door and the service and attention is wonderful in this shop. Highly recommend to all!

Shayaan Ali

Been coming here since moving to New York a year ago and have never been disappointed. Great haircuts for a very reasonable price, and in a nice clean shop with no shortage of personalities. Highly recommended!

Eamon Dworkin

Amazing! The best spot in the city. You can't beat the quality or the price. Ruben is the best. They can't handle any style cut. Never a long wait. Only $25! #haircut #hair #mensstyle

Boris Chernobilsky

Ruben is a hoot and always gives a great cut. Awesome shave as well, has never nicked me with a straight razor. Pre-cut beer while you wait is also a nice touch.

Josh Weinstein

Moved to the neighborhood about seven months ago, roommate suggested East Village Barbershop. Perfect haircut every time, no matter who’s cut my hair. It’s always hard to find a reliable place to get a haircut, but East Village Barbershop is the best!

Charles “Chuck” LaRosa

Been going to this place since I moved to the city. Great atmosphere and terrific barbers. Would strongly recommended for anyone looking to get a great haircut and have a good relaxing time. Liu gives the best hair wash!!!

Donovan Rodriguez

I found this guy on Instagram. At first the cuts caught my attention. It was exactly what I was looking for. When I walked in the girl at the desk greeted me and even offered me a beer. Thought that was nice. Then Ruben walked in and set up for me. I told him what I wanted, even showed him pics and he gave me exactly what I asked for. Hands down best barber I've found thus far. Highly recommended!!!

Joey Choo

Ruben managed to fix my hair very well. The guy is also hilarious and gives free beers! Would be coming in again.

Sameer Husain

Was new to the city and went to shop across the street for my first cut. Wasn't impressed so I came to east villlage barbershop and they took care of me! Haven't looked back since! I highly recommend this place! The hot towel treatment at the end of the cut is a nice touch :)

Jared Cordover

Ruben is super welcoming and supplies some great chats along with a high quality cut. Very professional shop. They’ll get you looking good

Mike P

If you're going to go, make sure you go early in the morning, or you'll be waiting a while. Maybe it's just me, but $30 for a haircut is a lot. There are cheaper barbers that are just as good in thr neighborhood. The staff is very friendly though

Gabriel Nazir Mejia

I'm a regular here, seriously dope work from these guys. They spend as long as it takes for a fresh cut and it's 25 bucks so I'm in here almost weekly. The only place I'd recommend to my friends. Also I've never before actually been homies with my barbers, over here all 4 or 5 staff make u feel at home cracking jokes and getting to know the customers . It's the full package haha.

Francisco Lomparte

Ruben is the man! Been going to this neighborhood barbershop for 3 years. Moved to Mexico City for 1 year and now that I'm back in NYC I'm back to the best haircuts ever.

Greg Washburn

I’ve been coming for a year and a half, came across it cause I live in the neighborhood. Recently went to try out a different place and the comparison was immediate. Ruben, I will never betray you again, this is the best haircut I’ve ever, and will ever have.

Will Stokely

Super convenient, super fast, super sexy haircuts. If you have a date or an interview and want to look good, they got you. $40 well spent!

Steven Lim

Been going to this barbershop since moving to NY after a recommendation from fellow NYU student. Hella fresh haircuts and really friendly people! 11/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a new barbershop.

Ryan Fulmer

Great haircut and Ruben is the man! Highly recommend this place, wouldn’t go anywhere else in the city.

Andrew Goldstein

East Village barbershop is the best haircut and shave. And if you're nice Ruben will give you a beer. He's the Mayor of east 10th st.

Brian Penaflor

East Village barbershop is 🔥🔥🔥! Faithful and frequent customer for over 2 years. Prepare for Ruben take you on a wild haircut jouney. You will never be the same. …

My buddy recommended this place, so I came in on a Monday and Ruben gave me a fantastic haircut! They also gave me a hair wash beforehand. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Akaki Margvelashvili

Ruben gave a very high quality haircut and delivered the hairstyle I asked for. He takes his time and does not rush although I walked in close to the closing time. Would 100% reccomend!

Lenhard Matt

Highest quality cuts. You can pay on the card, tip in cash. The owner has a chair often himself. I've had a good laugh every time every time I've been in. Free booze too, if that's your thing..

William Innes

Best haircut! Got one right before my engagement and my fiancé loved it. Can’t recommend Ruben enough.

Gleb Nesis

Great spot for a hair cut at a reasonable price. Ruben gives a good clean cut every time. The atmosphere's lively and the wait is never too long.

Corey Shapiro

Found this place on Yelp when searching for barbershop in the East Village. Stylistic and innovative haircuts, affordable prices, and great ambiance. Ruben always makes your time spent here enjoyable.

Hans Seiderman

Looking for a barber as interesting as I am proved tough. Being a creative type as I am, I needed the best. Matt is as tough as they come, as best as they get. Brilliant and agreeable, like his hands have a mind of their own. Astounding!

Nick Holuta

Not only an awesome haircut, but a fantastic wash. Don't know why anyone wouldn't get a wash when they walk in. Say yes when you get asked -- you won't regret. Great shop, great place, great business. Go.

John Lind

The first and only place I've gone in the Village since moving here a year ago. Every cut I've gotten, whether from Reuben or his staff, has been precise, clean, and fairly priced. Give them a try, you'll want to keep coming back!

Nat Disston

Best barber I've found in 3 years being in NYC. Ruben is great and the haircuts are awesome, can't beat the price for the quality.

Heard about the shop through a friend and have been recommending EV barbershop to everyone since. Have had a great experience with all of the barbers and everyone’s super friendly. Keep it sexy!

Alex Morse

Real professionals work here, who will cut your hair and, if necessary, shave you exactly the way you want it. I recommend this place to everyone.

Здесь работают настоящие профессионалы, которые подстригут, и если нужно, побреют Вас именно так как вы этого хотите. Всем советую это место.
