About NYC Barber Shop Museum
The NYC Barber Shop Museum is a unique blend of a working barber shop and a museum dedicated to preserving barbering history. With vintage chairs, including kids' chairs, the entire space showcases the art of barbering. The barbers, led by a 4th generation professional, provide excellent service. Arthur, in particular, is praised for his attention to detail and pride in his work. Reviewers highlight his calm demeanor and confidence, making every haircut a relaxing experience. The vintage decor adds to the charm of the place. As a 501c3 Nonprofit Organization, proceeds from sales and services support local social goals and the Free Angel's Day Care Center. Many customers express their loyalty to Arthur, often returning for his consistent and efficient haircuts, even after moving away from the area.
One of its kind , nothing like it in NYC
This was by far one of the nicest experiences I’ve had at a barber shop. The staff is incredibly friendly and well educated on the history of the trade. From the beautiful chandeliers, to the historic shop chairs this is one unique experience. Not only is it a museum curated by the owner, it is also a high quality barber shop. They specialize in old methods once thought forgotten. Need a Straight edge cut or want something with just scissors? They’ve got you covered, all while making you feel at home. Oh and the hot towels are a must!!! Even if you don’t want a haircut you haveeeee to at least check out the shop. It’s extraordinary. All you need it 3 minutes to spare ... you won’t regret it.
