York 77 BarberShop

Ok I’ve been there twice now. The first time, the younger Israeli guy at the front station cut my hair. He did a fine job. Great haircut. Listened to what I wanted. Really good haircut. He gets five stars. Trust your head to him.
Then I went there again, and the older guy with hair (not the kind of bald older guy — you’ll see the difference if you go there) was my barber. OH HELLS NO! I told him what I wanted, and he went to hacking at my head. I’m blind without my glasses so after he thought he was finished, I put my glasses on to see what damage he had done. On the left side of my head, there was a wedge (a triangle about 3″ x 1.5″ x 2″) that was obviously not the same length as the rest of my hair. I was torn between WALKING THE HELLO UT OF THERE and giving him a chance to fix it, and because I am polite, I pointed out the problems and asked him to fix it. Took my glasses off again, and let him go at my head again. I put the glasses back on, and the left side is noticeably shorter than the right side, there’s a hole in the kind of top middle center of the left side that is just cut, and a diagonal line about 3 inches long where everything above it is longer and everything below it is shorter. I don’t even know how he could do that, since he was using the clippers with a guard!
So there seems to be three barbers there. The younger Israeli in the front is fine. There’s a kind of bald guy in the middle that I cannot say anything at all about. Then there’s the older guy with hair toward the back. DO NOT LET HIM TOUCH YOUR HAIR!

These guys are awesome cool, great for picky boys and the shop is new and clean.
Best described sharing the dialogue w my picky haircut son who does not want a cut and lately only wants me to trim his hair — note I can do a decent job but am def not a barber.
Me: you have an important appointment tomorrow and are getting a trim.
Son: nope. I want my hair (actors) style and I’m not getting a cut
Me: whatever style you want is fine but needs to be neat and clean
Son: Not getting a cut
(Repeat 5 times)
Me: getting a trim. Meet me in the lobby in 5 or phone is off until hair is cut.
(After 5 phone turned off; thanks VeriZon controls … Son comes down a minute later)
We walk past and enter this barber shop. I explain the wants of my son, show a pic of said actor whose style he wants. As Fab Barber Mike chops I see hair falling to the ground thinking the night will be drama filled …
Home, No drama, I say casually so did you like the guy who cut your hair ?
Son: yea, he was cool. (No complaints)
Whew. Thanks guys, and Mike, you rock !

Amazing amazing and simply amazing!!! Mike was the one who help me and rescue me from the bad haircut from queens lol. Finally found a true barber who could Do it right! Def coming back again! And he recommended the wax which was a plus:). Thank you Mike!

First time, walked in. Fast and got exactly what I asked for. Good conversation. Will be back again.

I got to say all the barbers are great at 77 York shop. My guy Mike is a licensed surgeon with his hands. Super skilled barber, I highly recommend. No matter what creed or color, you are bound to leave satisfied. Clean beautiful shop with flat screen TVs for your eye to catch, no matter what angle you are in.

The cut itself was legit, but my neck is all ripped up from the straight razor, I’ve got intense, visible razor burn three days later. Also had my barber’s thumbs poking into my eyeballs for the parts of the experience, which was really uncomfortable. Advice to Mike: slow down, take your time, and be gentle with the straight razor. You’ve clearly got talent, but there’s no need to manhandle somebody’s head like that.

Beat barbers in Manhattan. Mike gave me a new cut that didn’t even cross mind and wow, turned out to be great. Even his dad is great! I highly recommend York 77!

This is a great barbershop. Very clean, staff is friendly and they do a great hair cut. They take their time with the customers to ensure a great experience.

I have been to both Mike and Robert. Personally, I am a Robert fan, but both do great work. They understand what you want, and are willing to take feedback and make changes.

This is a joke of a barber shop. The first time my BF came here the cut was good, and Mike did his signature cut (ie the only cut he can do). However my BF has been back two more times and has been rushed, CUT MULTIPLE TIMES, and Mike refused to listen to what he wanted with his hair. I am furious that anyone on their right mind thinks that this is how a business is run. I suggest going to one of the many other barber shops who actually care about their customers.

Mike and his father give the freshest cuts. Awesome place to get a haircut where you’ll walk out feeling great.

I am a Mike regular. Excellent attention to detail and perfection every time. I have been here six times and see myself coming back more.

Have to say was definitely happy at first as he took the time and was attentive. Unfortunately my last 2 haircuts were not treated with the same attention. I addressed the last trimming of beard as I came back after taking a good look and I was sat in chair while he had another client (I was willing to wait) and he buzzed my beard and the obvious spots in 2 secs with the same lack of detail. No coverall, attitude, etc.

Mike and Robert are an ideal father/​son barber team. Their shop has a real old school barber shop atmosphere but with modern amenities. Each individual chair has an individual tv screen showing whatever game is on at the moment. And the cuts definitely don’t disappoint either. They have a knack for giving you exactly the cut you want, even if you don’t do a good job describing what you want. Can’t think of a better way to spend my sunday afternoon; getting a great haircut and straight razor shave while watching the game and talking shop with Mike and Robert.

Went there because I needed a haircut for an event. No appointment necessary. The guys there are the best. One of the best barber shops I have been too.

Robert was amazing. Not only did he do what I requested he just got it. Highly recommend.

Awesome haircuts! Especially mike, he knows the right style and takes his time. Second time there — I will be back. Highly recommended if you want a barber that knows about hair!

I found this gem of a barbershop after exploring the neighborhood after recently moving to the UES. Mike is as friendly as they come and gave me one of the best cuts I’ve had in months. I’ll be sure to make this my «go to» barber shop.

I was a member of the renowned John Allans haircut club for the past 8 years and recently dropped my membership.
This was the first haircut in 8 years out of the club and I have to say it was fantastic!
The team assembled at York 77 are extremely skilled and I have one of the best cuts I had in over 8 years. Not to mention I didn’t need to pay the $ 850 membership fee as the prices here are an extreme value for the great treatment I received.
I am looking forward to being a regular at this great neighborhood barber.

The best place for a great haircut. They make you feel right at home. No rush jobs. It’s a father and son barbershop.
Mike the son cuts my hair. The father is very very good also. They make you feel very comfortable. Your more than a client your like famiIy. I go every two weeks. I don’t trust anyone else with my hair. The very best. Call for a appointment. You’ll wish you did.
