About this business

"This drop-in spot is just as cheap as the ubiquitous East Village chop shops designed to turn around hundreds of heads a day, but Rafael's is no bang-'em-in, bang-'em-out joint. The haircutters at this four-chair pastel-hued salon offer competent, standard cuts and shaves, but spend plenty of time chatting with each client, determining exactly what you want. The personalization is great--and unheard of at these prices; a haircut this cheap usually comes from a guy who chats on his cell phone and shaves off your perfectly gr... read more

5 Stars! Excellent haircut, with attention to detail. Raphael is the only person who cuts my hair. I’ve been coming to him for over four years, since he was on 1st Ave. His new space is an upgrade. Elegantly designed with barn wood walls and large open windows creates a unique, artisan feel. This is a better reflection of the service and quality of attention invested in his clients. Raphael takes pride in his work and it shows. He doesn’t like being rushed, and once told me manages his appointments so he has time enjoy what ... read more

Hidden gem! Rafael treats his customers like family and provides amazing service. He understands the difference in peoples hair and offers precision and style that’s difficult to find anywhere. I been going for over half a year now and he always takes the time to give you a proper cut, wether it’s complex or simple he makes sure you get what you pay for. The place is aesthetically pleasing and has a unique look. Booking is very simple and easy and walk in is available too. He always offers deals for returning customers. Well... read more

Depending on your barber/stylist you can have an average cut to a great cut and experience. I regularly go so I do think certain staff spend more time with me. The woman (whose regularly there but name I forget) does an amazing job, definitely does the extra bits and pieces t make your experience memorable. I would recommend as I am a creature of habit, liking consistency and I know going there all the time that I will get an above average to a great experience.
