Best Barber Shops In Albany

“Phenomenal family owned barbershop, always great welcoming vibes and excellent craftsmanship when it comes to styling hair no matter what ethnicity you are, 10 out of 10 would recommend! Jalon takes care of me efficiently and consistently even if I short notice book an appt“

“AJ is the man
He is always a pleasure to talk with. He’s both knowledgeable on many different topics and very personable / down to earth.
He knows how to cut hair. I’ve asked him for multiple different types of cuts over the past year and he always delivers. I have deferred to his expert opinion on how much to take off and I’m glad I did.
Always professional and respectful, he makes himself very accessible to clients who work a 9 to 5 shift and for that I am much appreciative.“

“My 14-year-old said this is the best cut he’s ever had. Very meticulously done. He will be back.“

“I like this place better than anywhere else for one important reason. They take the time to tape your neck up properly so you're not itchy and suffering with *~sensory issues~* all day.

Good conversation, good spot. Cut is good. I go here and it's good. Dan cuts my hair.“

“I’m visiting from Maryland. My best friend is getting married tomorrow 9/20 and I wanted a lineup to look good. We walked in and felt right at home. Everyone was friendly and the barber who lined me up did AMAZING! I will definitely be back any time I’m in the area. Oh and they are super affordable.“

“I never met a better barber! This man knows his hair cuts and has such a kind demeanor. Very good place all around ? highly recommended! Thanks again, David.“

“Walked in this establishment expecting a quick clean up. I was welcomed had great conversations great choice in music. By the time I left I felt we known each other for a while and my cup wasn't over runneth.“

“Ersi doing the best haircuts in the area, highly recommended!

PS. I had been Ersi’s client for more than a year, but eventually had to move to Europe and couldn’t find anyone like him!“

“Ace Boogie does the best shape up and beard groom in capital region. Razor-sharp lines, perfectly sculpted beard. Walked out feeling elite! ??“

“Received one of the best haircuts i’ve ever gotten. Clean space with friendly employees. Fair price and detailed. Didn’t feel rushed. Also very convenient as they’re always open.“

“I've been going to Dukes for about 6 years now. I see the same barber every time, unless he is on vacation.
All of the barbers there are top notch and friendly. They give great haircuts. They can also trim or shave your beard/mustache.
Each barber has their own set of regular clients, but they take walk-ins too. They are often busy so it might take a bit of a wait if you are a walk-in, but sometimes you get lucky. There were two walk-ins today and they were both seen within 5 minutes.
I usually text my barber when I want to make an appointment, and this works out perfectly for me. I don't think they make same day appointments, so plan ahead or walk-in and hope the wait is not too long.
I highly recommend them!!!!“

“Galeria Barbershop is hands down one of the best places to get a haircut. The barbers here are top-notch professionals who really take pride in their work. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and know you’re in good hands. They take the time to listen to what you want, pay close attention to detail, and make sure you leave looking sharp. The shop itself is clean, comfortable, and has a great atmosphere. If you’re looking for consistency, skill, and friendly service, this is the place. I highly recommend Galeria Barbershop to anyone who wants a professional haircut done right“

“College student by the way. Not too busy and had a very nice interactive conversation with the barber when I came in and got started right away. The barber was really nice and friendly, gave me a really good looking cut, and had me satisfied. ?“

“I recommend everyone come here. Very professional and the staff were friendly. The barber cut my son's hair just the way he wanted it.“

“I went to Tony for a beard trim and edge-up before a wedding, and he did an outstanding job. He was detail-oriented and made sure everything looked sharp and clean. The shop itself has a great atmosphere—clean, welcoming, and clearly a locally run spot where everyone seems to know each other. It had that comfortable community feel while still being professional. I’d highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a quality barber who takes pride in his work.“

“As a person who doesn't like getting their hair cut and also sometimes doesn't explain things super clearly- I had a fantastic experience
The shop is really nicely decorated and feels very welcoming. Chris worked with me to make sure I had realistic expectations of what my hair would look like. And booking/paying through the app was easy and convenient.“

“Michael John is a very down to earth guy! Easy going!
He Listens to you about the Hairstyle you are interested in.
Understands your type of hair and is very knowledgeable if you have typical Male pattern baldness issues as well.
I am from out of state and wanted a cut before heading back. I recommend Michael John Barber Shop Lounge as a go to place. I will return on my next visit in Albany.
Go see him if you want to go to someone who listens to your needs and provides a great cut and experience.“

“I been going there for sometime. I feel the girl Colleen does a great job doing my haircut.“

“Absolutely phenomenal barber. Made an appointment, no waiting and quick. Showed them a picture of the style my son wanted and they honestly did a better job than the picture. Will be going back often.“

“- very talented barber - very cordial and nice personality - he met me at Love's barber shop in Gateway Plaza - make sure you know your barber lingo, he asked me a bunch of questions, I had never been asked before and I'm 43 years old Literally get it how you want it“

“Everyone there knows how to cut well, and it's quick an fast. There's always at least 4 people ready to cut your hair. I've never waited more that 15 minutes for a haircut.“

“They do absolutely fantastic work time and time again. Because of that they can obviously get quite busy during peak hours but just call ahead and take very good care of you!“

“Stumbled across this place and I'm in love! Did a phenomenal job. Will be a repeat customer!“

“Wonderful barber shop. Great haircuts and they always find time to be available. I've been getting my haircut here for 5 years and they always do a great job. They recently raised their prices to $30 for a standard haircut and that is still a great value for what you get.“

“The barbers are always nice and conversations are usually communal. Both Michael and Kirk are master barbers and every haircut shows it.“
