Reviews of Cohen Barber Shop (Barber Shop)

marty lambert

Outstanding haircut and service. Probably one of the best haircuts I have had in my life. I was able to get in and out quick. The razor shave on the neck was a great way to finish off a great cut. I also loved how the barber asked several times what I wanted, confirmed it, and even explained how it would look before he started.

Wow you guys are absolutely awful. As someone who travels quite a lot, I’ve had haircuts from many incredible barbers and of course some pretty bad barbers along the way. You guys I’ve got to say, take it to another level in how poor you do your haircuts. The level of dedication you have in giving such bad haircuts is incredible. Simple fade haircuts, I’ve never come across such a lazy barber before who cannot even be bothered to do a fade and will cut straight up into the crown. When that happens, you know that’s not good, that’s beyond awful. I mean come on, your supposed to be professionals. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that by cutting into the crown, the chunk of hair your going to leave missing from the customer. What’s even more stunning is your ability to hide bad haircuts I’ve got to give it to you there. Some stunning work with the hair product to cover your unprofessional cuts and sheer laziness. It not only leaves the customer thinking they’ve got an alright haircut only to return home and see what you’ve done. You guys are simply no match for the competition in how bad you do your haircuts. This was all from simply watching you in how you guys do your cuts on fellow customers. Reluctantly, I thought I’d take the chair with another one of your esteemed barbers to see how mine would go. Low and behold, it’s a similar story. Not as bad as the customers I witnessed you single handedly demolish their hair and that was only down to me telling the barber constantly to stop going so high up with the cut on the side. He clearly did not have a clue how to perform a blend either and so was looking to do the same and go high up to the crown with the cut. Following that, the amount of length you take off from the top, despite saying a little is far from it, especially the back part of the hair you take so much off it’s too late to have even said anything. I don’t expect to have to constantly teach a barber how to cut hair during my own hair cut. I was far from impressed with the way you guys handled your cuts and as much as you have a laugh with the customers, you don’t pay enough attention to the haircut. I would advise focusing on the haircut for those unable to multitask. I also suggest all your barbers take courses in learning how to blend and fades. Your going to lose more and more customers when you start with a square shaped sized haircut and finish with peanut shaped sized haircut at the back. It’s not good I don’t know what more advice I can give you guys. By not knowing how to perform such simple cuts, your barbers are resorting to laziness and it’s resulting in your customers including myself, finishing their haircut with a poor blend, chunks of hair completely razored away and even the shape of back changing. Your in a wonderful location with so much footfall. Don’t be lazy, don’t be unprofessional and take some courses so you can learn how to master techniques in levelling up in what you do.

I came for the much better barber shop next door at 136 West 46th. They were closed. I settled for this place and regret it. Too expensive for a simple trim. Never going back.

John is the man. I was visiting NYC and needed a quick shape up looked up in Yelp and found this place with all those good reviews gave it a shot and it was worth it. John is the guy for you.

(Translated by Google) Nice hairdresser next to Times Square. Owned by an American Jew who employs Israeli books. Fair price, good professionalism. (Original) מספרה נחמדה צמודה לכיכר טיימס סקוואר. בבעלות יהודי אמריקאי המעסיק ספרים ישראלים. מחיר הוגן, מקצועיות טובה.

DOPEST BARBERSHOP IN NEW YORK! Sergio & Itzik are so awesome: professional, outgoing, quick... Dope music, lots of magazines & Netflix to kill your time while waiting, oh and don’t forget about free drinks (soda, beer, vodka). Highly recommend!

Sergiy Byalyk

Amazing attitude, with great service. Sergey (the main guy) gave me the best haircut in a long time, and it took under 30 minutes. No BS, straight to the business, plus shave, plus hot towel, plus a free drink (that was a good perk), and all of it for a very decent price! I would definitely go back, and recommend you to try this at least once! You won't regret. No appointment needed, and the wait is not long, compare to other places.

Amazing haircut and hot towel shave

Anthony Spittle

What a great experience coming in from Australia and receiving such professional and friendly service. And BTW, my daughter (also a barber) approved and applauded the attention to detail. Thank you Sergio.

מקום טוב מאוד. יחס נהדר איציק אין עליך בעולם היום הבנתי מה זה להסתפר באמתתתת

David Smith

Great guys who know how to cut hair well and without a fuss. Old-school feel with hot towels and straight razors. Was in town on business and needed a cut- they did a better job than my regular barber!

Ilan Variyt

amazing service, very kind barber and an awesome price.

Matthew Wilson

Great service

Raymond Lynam

What can I say: fantastic hair cut and shave. One of the best services I’ve had in a barber shop. There was light hearted humour. I googled a few places in town and this one seemed the best option; I chose well. Thank you

Shivan Raithatha

Terrible haircut!! If you’re looking for a low quality and highly expensive haircut, you’ve found the place! On price: For a back and sides the charge is $30.00!! (No trim off the top) And yet the day before the price quoted was $20.00?! They saw we we’re tourists and suddenly increased the prices, really unethical and unprofessional behaviour. On quality: The barbers don’t use scissors to blend/fade your sides which makes the finish look absolutely terrible combined with the fact they take the sides far to high up. Overall rating 0/10!

Виктория Чинёнова

Came for an undercut & design and LOVED this place a lot! Grear service, awesome atmosphere, and I am getting so many compliments from my friends!!! Definetely recommend and will be back 100%.

Анна Мещерякова

Extremely talented barber, Sergio was awesome!

Michael Leonardos

Great cuts

Mark Leslie

The guy who gave me the cut was amazing. Best haircut I’ve had in my life and that’s no exaggeration! He paid very careful attention to every detail and by the time I left I felt like a million bucks.

Jeffrey Lahens

Great spot for a clean haircut and s afe space to talk.

Just wanted to share to everyone what their main barber, Sergio, did to my hair while I was there. He didn't just make a bald spot, but botched some other parts on the back of my head as you can see from my picture. He first tried to avoid showing me this side of the back of my head, and when he finally did, I called him out on the bald spot. He kept saying that it was always there and that it might've been stress induced or from a shot I had when I was younger. I know what the back of my head looks like and I've had my hair that short before. I've never seen a bald spot like that ever. First and last time I'll be going there, and I hope everyone can see this as well and see how lazy of a job he did and how he just kept lying about it. Absolutely disgusting. Updated 04/22/19: Since the barber keeps insisting that this was a bald spot, which I knew I never had after knowing my hair, I wanted to show this other picture where it clearly shows that he messed up on different parts of head, and not just this one spot. And indeed, the person responding to my review was actually the one who cut my hair which I'm assuming is the one that owns this establishment. Take this review for what you will, I'm really just showing how my time went here.

AVOID THIS PLACE! I thought I found a cheap place but I got what I paid for. Haircut was sloppy and uneven. Never going back.

Frank Montalvo

The barbers here do the job like they're painting the Mona Lisa. Even when it's an in between haircuts tune-up. Cohen Barbershop in general is very clean, classy and comfortable. Everyone is extremely nice. You can't go wrong with the Royal shave and men's full haircut. I have to stop in every time I'm in Times Square to get the full treatment.

Mikhail Meshcheriakov

Came to NY and decided to get an experience at a real barbershop. This place is awesome! The spot was a bit busy, but I was offered a free beer upon arrival. Very friendly atmosphere, they have Frank Sinatra songs and the place is extremely clean. I loved the haircut they did for me, got so many compliments from my friends and family. Strongly recommend this spot!

justin wadsworth

I was on holiday in NYC and in desperate need of a cut, I randomly walked into this one and it was the best cut I have ever had in my life. The older Russian man, he's got awesome skills. I wish I didn't live in Australia as I want him to always cut my hair

Hanru Redelinghuys

Went here regularly until I felt the last time no effort was out into my haircut (didn't even get the neck shave). Went to another barber in 9th avenue which was cheaper and received much friendlier service

Hanan Mirakov Cohen

Great cut great service great price ! John and sergio doing amazing job at cohen barber shop !

Addyarb _

Very kind barber and perfect cut.

Ramon McNally

Consistent and clean. Fast and efficient. Great cuts, professionals and welcoming. Waiting is a thing I don't do often. Accepts cards and always open to new things. A goto shop, don't judge from the outside.

Justin Agnew

Crazy barber experience for a tourist!
