    First time at Cutting Edge Barber Shop on the UES, and it won't be my last! Shelly was incredibly friendly, listened carefully to what I wanted, and delivered a quick, precise cut that turned out perfect. The place is spotless, and the service was top-notch; definitely coming back soon!

    I’ve been coming to this barbershop on 2nd Ave in the Upper East Side for years and it’s consistently excellent. The space is always clean, the service is quick and efficient, and the barbers are clearly highly skilled. It is also very easy to book, which makes it incredibly convenient when fitting a haircut into a busy schedule. The hot towel service is a real standout and adds a premium touch that keeps me coming back. Reliable, professional, and one of the best barbershops in the Upper East Side. I genuinely get more compliments after a haircut here than I ever have anywhere else.

    Writing a review on behalf of my husband - this place is great. He walked in for his appointment and they were thankfully able to squeeze him in! The owner (I think Arthur?) and the woman who cut my husbands hair, Shelly, were sooo welcoming and had great hospitality. This place is clearly a local favorite (for good reason! They even appeared to have regular doggy customers stop by the door too for a treat)! And Shelly did a great job with the cut. Thanks so much!! 5 stars for sure
