Better late than never with my review. When I was in NYC for college about 10 years ago, I happily came to Mr. John Hairstylist to simply get my hair washed and out the door. Everyone was always so kind to me, and I will never forget this amazing business even after leaving NYC. 5/5 stars and more!
Ever since I discovered Mr John’s four years ago… I haven’t tried anyone else because hands down the best in their profession.. they are extremely friendly and great at what they do .. all three of them. Also, very reasonable pricing for their fantastic haircuts with scissors!

Filled mostly with Italian male barbers of various ages, all who know how to cut hair and cut it properly. Don’t think they are out of touch b/c you don’t get cucumber mineral water while you wait. In fact, you can just walk in.
