Reviews of Prime Barber Shop (Barber Shop)

Prime became my regular spot about six or more cuts ago. Alex is an exceptional barber and clearly cares about his business. Clean shop and very skilled, meticulous staff. Thank you

I don’t know, man. It wasn’t for me. I’m willing to pay more for more attention to my haircut. It’s fine if you need a barber, but I’m looking for a bit more thought and consideration about how the job is being done. I don’t want to be rude of course, but I’d say it’s a solid middle of the road shop.

I decided to visit this barbershop since it was quite new and around my school. The interior of the shop is beautiful and well kept, and offers a pleasant vibe to it. I highly recommend everyone to check it out.

Old Russian dude gave me a legit Undercut. Would easily go here more if I lived around here. Friendly dude.

Russian lady does a great job. Always perfect.

This is a great place to get a haircut. They take care of you, no matter if you're a walk in or not. I would go weekdays after work on my walk home. Usually only had to wait a bit but I would always be on time for my train. I'm sad because I got a new job and have to find a new barber. Thank you Alex!

Gorgeous new barbershop. Friendly service. Very pleasant atmosphere. I'm very happy with my cut, thank you Alex. Will be coming back to you soon!

I've been getting my hair cut at Prime Barber Shop since I moved to Chelsea. I've been to plenty of Barbers in the area, and my cuts here area consistently great. Other barber shops I've gone to have been a toss-up. Plus, the prices are unbeatable.

Chris Stratton

I really appreciate the focus on detail and they charge a very fair price for the neighborhood. They will also give you a straight blade shave if you have extra time.

Ryan Holgan

Stella and Alex give the best haircuts in town. They do a good job and are fairly priced.

Luke Hsiao

Very profession and talented staff, super clean place, and great haircut.

Beautiful and clean place, good service, love my new hair cut, definitely coming back !

Nick Wagh

I’ve been going to Alex for several months now. He helped me find my new hair style and has been executing it perfectly every time I go. The shop is very clean and making an appointment online is very easy. Additionally, prices here are the best I’ve seen in the area. So happy to have found Prime Barbershop!

Scott Alan Hardy

Omg! Just grew my first beard and came here to have it shaped. Like a spa at barbershop prices. This was a very enjoyable, relaxing experience with a clear pro! Cannot recommend it high enough so good. Hardy

I have mixed experience here. First time was good, the barber was giving me helpful suggestions and he knew exactly what I was looking for. On the second time I went, I was planning on making some adjustments/changes to my style, it was a disaster, he was supposedly too busy to help and the other barber was completely unhelpful and clueless

Jesse Kirshbaum

This place gives a great cut at a reasonable price. I enjoy the experience and each cut gets better. There hours are great and they are very accommodating. Highly recommended. I'd send my own brother. In fact... i did. Best and nicest (Rare Combo) in the neighborhood by far!

Tom Handley

Great cut, and best price.

Marissa Staib

Prime Barbershop is truly a professional service. Alex always takes his time to make sure he gets every detail right. He asks questions throughout to make sure that he's providing the exact haircut you want and works with you to explore new options. I definitely look forward to visiting the shop every time I'm ready to get cleaned up. I highly recommend booking an appointment here!

Casper Verhoofstad

Best barber shop to date I went to in NYC. Extremely clean and hygienic. Super friendly staff. Booking can be done via the website and confirmation by email. Got haircut and beard trim. Beard trim came with complementary straight raisor shave at the cheeks and neck. Will definitely go back!

joseph trachtenberg

Best haircut in Chelsea. I’ve been going to Alex for two years and have always been pleased. The shop is clean and comfortable.

Dan Berndt

I moved back to Chelsea recently, and needed to find a new barber. I have been to a number of them especially in the 7th & 8th Ave areas, but they were either really haphazard, too busy, or too pricey. I happened upon Alex @ Prime Barber Shop on 9th Ave, a few blocks north of me. The prices were certainly reasonable, the shop was new, fresh and very clean and comfortable. Alex is a gentleman, conversant if you engage, and consistently gives an exacting and fantastic haircut. I'm thrilled to finally find my new barber! I've been back 4 times since, and still a consistently great cut. Thanks Alex!

Been going to Prime Barber Shop from the time that they opened. Even though I moved to Brooklyn, I still go to Prime for my haircuts--yeah, its that good. They do it right and at a very fair price. Highly recommend!

Eugene Marchenko

This is the place I've been searching for years! Finally I found it! Great service and skilled professional haircut!

Christopher Marx

I went in about a month back asking for a trim. Only got the sides cut. I figured that was only the first step of the cut, but then the woman said I was done, never having touched the top of my head. I'm giving 3 stars for half the work because the top still looked good from my last haircut. Other than the split ends I now have, I don't look messed up or anything. It was just a lot of money to pay for HALF a haircut.

matthew malone

I'm from out of town, and needed to get a haircut (badly). While doing touristy things, I looked at every barbershop I passed, and Prime was the first (of many) I passed that looked clean and professional. I went in and got a haircut/shave with Dan. He was nice, professional and helpful. Most importantly, he gave my an amazing haircut. When I mentioned that I was from out of town, he asked me if I saw the prices. He wanted to make sure I was aware of the prices, which were higher than where I am from. It was $50 for a haircut/shave, which seemed reasonable for NYC, and was worth every penny. I'd say this was my favorite haircut I've ever gotten. If I'm ever in NY and need a haircut, I would not hesitate to come back to Prime Barbershop at all!

Eamon Barkhordarian

Alex is my favorite barber ever, I always get so excited anytime I'm due for a haircut because of the amount of attention to detail, care, and precision is put into my haircuts. I mean just look at the photo! I love a clean fade and a sharp beard shape and Alex knows exactly my style and what I like. In fact, I previously never had faded my sides so sharply prior to meeting him, but after I stopped by the first time and mentioned to him my style he encouraged me to try out a more accented blend, and now I don't even understand how I used to get such subtle haircuts in the past! Highly recommend to anyone!!

Connor Fenn

Prime barber shop is my favorite spot to go and get a hair cut. I am currently a student who goes to college in South Carolina and any chance I get to stop by prime barber I take full advantage. The owner who runs Primer Barber is an expert in cutting hair, he truly cares about each individual client and insures that their hair cut is the best. No other barber I have ever been to has come close to the quality hair cut that I get every single time. No matter your hair style defiantly give Prime Barber a shot! You won’t regret It!

Freddy Sepulveda

Is the best and comfortable relax and professional barber shop that I found in NYC,

Trevor Knight

I hesitate to ever give anyone a bad review but I left here pretty unhappy with my haircut. Pros: - Easy to get an appointment or can just walk-in - Relatively inexpensive at $25 - Quick haircut Cons: - My hair is very straight and any unevenness really shows and there was A LOT of unevenness. - I think the unevenness was primarily a cause of a casual attitude and lack of attention to detail. - The lady asked what number I wanted on the side, I said I didn't know and she pulled out a #2 and started cutting before I could even say anything. It was shorter than I would have asked for but it was too late. Over all, if you just want a cheap, utilitarian cut, this place might be fine but I've had better experiences at other places, for the same price or less. Edit regarding the reply: Sorry, you must be mistaking me for someone else. There was no picture of any kind and we didn't discuss fades. I don't know what you're talking about. Regardless, I've removed my reference to a different inexpensive barber shop; I don't want to appear to have ulterior motives.

Steven Soto

Amazing faded haircut!! Super nice and clean barbershop!! Highly recommend.

Most underrated barber shop in Chelsea. Impeccable attention to detail at some of the most reasonable prices you'll find in NYC.

Rizaldi Santiago

Alex's attention to detail is unrivaled. I recently started working in the area and needed a local barber. I found Alex and Prime. Now I'm set!

Michael Kleinerman

Alex and Stella are cool and friendly. They offer great service at a great price. This is my go-to barbershop.

Erin Davis

STELLA IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! I’ve been getting my hair cut twice a week for almost 2 years and i’ve never had a better haircut. Everyone there is super nice and welcoming, and do such a great job. Ask for Stella!!

Matthew Gwynn

Stella is the best

Andrew Johnson

Knowledgeable barbers and decent prices for the neighbourhood. Open on Sunday too which is a plus.

Matthew Holloway

Got the worst haircut of my life here tonight, seriously. And this was my second time there... First haircut there was just ok, but I went back because everybody deserves a 2nd chance, right? Big mistake. Before he started the cut, I showed the guy pictures that my old barber (who moved away) took after he had given me the perfect haircut, and told him the razor guard length #'s for the back & sides, top, etc. Still, this guy just drunk-blind-weed-whacker-butchered my haircut. The only good news about it: hair grows back eventually.
