York Barber Shop is such a great classic NYC spot. Juan is a true craftsman barber — consistently excellent, incredibly kind, and so good with my son. We also really appreciate how easy it is to book appointments online. It's always a pleasant and welcoming experience. Highly recommend!

Incredible place, it’s the best haircut that my boyfriend has got in our relationship, I’m so sad it’s not here in Spain! The owner, Enrique, was the most lovely person I’ve met in NY 😊 the essence of the place is so unique.. you can really tell the authenticity and the expertise in their team. I really hope we can come back soon.

Thank you for putting the cherry on our NY trip!
