I had an amazing first experience at Camera Ready Kutz, Inc. I’m visiting New York and stumbled across a Black queer barbershop, and I’m so glad I did.
As a cis Black queer man, going to a new barbershop can honestly be stressful, but Stitch was so friendly, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable immediately. The attention to detail was incredible, and I left loving my cut.
The shop was super clean, had a great playlist, and just felt welcoming. Stitch is truly an asset to this shop and the kind of barber who turns a first time customer into a regular one. The next time I’m anywhere in the New York area, I’ll absolutely be booking with Stitch again!

I found Khane and their shop Mid COVID. I was going through thinning hair and then ultimately alopecia. I was embarrassed to walk into a barber shop. Khane offered all kinds of suggestions for my hair problems and they did it so kindly! I like that if I’m on time my hair gets done on time so I don’t have to wait amongst other people too long! I keep coming back because when I leave there my confidence boost is ridiculous.

My normal experience is 5/5! E Lee is the best. I have been coming here for a cut for years and continue coming back though I’ve now moved further north in BK. Unfortunately I had a bad experience with the male barber cause I needed a last minute cut. As someone else mentioned in their review, I had scars around my hair line due to micro cuts from the clippers and also wasn’t happiest with the final shape of my cut. Never had a bad cut or chair experience with E Lee! Book them!
