Reviews of Elli's Barbers Shop (Barber Shop)

David Volle

This has been my go to place for a good quick hair cut for a few years now. The guys are nice and they all do a great job. Can't beat $20 for a haircut.

Jeffrey Holmes

My place for a hair cut. Close to Penn Station, economical, quick and their barbers do a great job.

Joel Pitra

I paid $20 for what ended up looking more like a $10 haircut. The lady who cut my hair was nice, and she tried, but in the end she made a lot of mistakes and I didn’t get a good haircut. This is something I’ve experienced at other barbershops in Manhattan — you get rushed in and out and mistakes get made. This is the last haircut I’ll get in the city

Matt Stanczak

Awesome haircut!! First time here. Ariel did a top notch job! Very confident and precise

Charles Bouillon

Pretty decent, standard NYC price. Can't complain!

Chase Nenninger

Raphael was awesome, gave me a great haircut and my first hot shave

Andrew Huff

It really depends who you get. I have had 4 star service and 2 star service from the barbers here. English is a second language. Only one guy has marginally mastered the straight razor fade. If you have longer hair you will be fine here. I had my hair cut here 4 times. More often than not the barber you get can't cut hair very well.

Marc Pierucci

Great shave!!

Brian Golden

My son just walked into Eli's for a haircut & shave . The gentleman who cut his hair was very personable & did an amazing job on my sons hair. My sons hair was very unruly & thick. Once he had his haircut he looked awesome . My sons beard was also cleaned up. My son told me Eli's Barber Shop will be his go to shop for haircuts .

Alex Volpicello

Ariel was a great barber with 30 years of experience. Very attentive & friendly. Will definitely go back and highly recommend!

Justin Wohl

Ariel saved my hair - I came in with an emergency and he fixed my fade, blending, and scissor cut on top. Fantastic

Giannis Georgiadis

I have been going to this place for about 9-10 years. Boris is the best barber I have ever had. They treat their clients like their own family member. They are very friendly and they provide an amazing service. I would never cheat on these guys nor trust any other barber.

Ashley Heather

Great experience, was looked after by the owner's son. Great friendly and efficient family business.

Lee Doan

Quick haircuts, used to be $17, but now $20. Doesn't accept Amex. The barbers are great though; I've been going for the past few years.

Boyang Ma

The barber cut my hair brutally like my head is a piece of meat. I told him the hair line is still jaggy pls fix and he said that's how my head grows like. I can't believe I just lost my 20 dollars here yet my hair look like I just came out of a laundry machine.

Matt S

Rip off place+$27 for below average haircut!! Don't go here. The barber messed up my here and trimmed within 2 mins, as if he is chopping a grass. They are just good to some people. Rest of the lot gets ignored , Rude arrogant intimidating people work here. Won't go again. They have a knock off or I don't care real Rolex ..when barber starts thinking they are superior then a customer it's a symptom that will doom this business.

Dylan Stein

Raphael gives a great fade.

Steven Tyler

Worst haircut I've gotten. Was serviced by the woman barber in the shop. I told her a light trim and she completely cut my hair short and uneven. It's a mess. It's so short on some parts there is no way to fix this unless I shave my head. Terrible cut. Will never go back here, polite service, but absolutely no skill. I can't speak for the other barbers, but the woman who works here really screwed me up and I'm so upset about it.

Mor Hutterer

Nice and professional

Abraham Curland

Great barbershop.

Rolan Flournoy

Asked for two specific things: -keep the top long -don’t cut it asymmetrically They did the opposite.

isaias rubio

Would highly recommend this place! Ask for Eleanore. She does a great beard trim and shave.

林書楷

I went for jarhead and the guy couldn't get it round and nice. Even gave me an attitude when I asked for shorter.

Daniel Mendez

Muy buena barbería, precio decente y personal muy amable y rápido.

Oscar Brito

Ever since I have met Boris and his crew I have not been anywhere else to get my haircut. Thanks guys!

Eddy Ortiz

Really happy with the service and my cut. People who complain don't explain the barber exactly what they want. I have been getting a haircut with Boris for over two years and the guy never lets me down.

Same Ole Line Dudes

I have been going here since they opened on 35th St back in 2001. THATS SEVENTEEN YEARS! Elli used to cut my hair, his wife did my eyebrows and their nephew (before he went back to Russia). Now I have been fine with Boris (FIRST CHAIR RULES!!!) Who listens, and executes exactly as requested. Another commented, they treat you like family, and they do! They're professional, convenient and competent. Glad to be a long time loyal customer.

Roy Truelove

Get the shave. Worth it

Albert Caraballo

I went there to clean up my face and get a simple shave. I have never been in that much pain while being shaved. The lady that I was told to go to cut me more times then I've cut myself and that says a lot. I regret my decision to come here. I am not ratting their hair cuts but I am sincerely disappointed in their shaves for sure. My first and last visit. I payed and tipped and regretting doing both after seeing how many times I was actually cut under my nose and the sides of my neck.

Raphael gave me a haircut this evening and butchered it quite badly. I'm visiting NYC (Manhattan) for 10 days and went to this place that had one of the higher ratings. He started out by using the machine on the sides and for the hair on the top he aggressively used the thinning scissors for the most part of the haircut leaving my hair uneven and sloppy. I asked to cut it short on the sides and to keep it long on the top. He didn't follow my instruction or ask me during the haircut which I trusted him to get right. He is a nice guy but does know how to cut hair evenly and with care unfortunately. There was surprisingly no precision. I'll be wearing a hat for at least 2-3 weeks until it grows out. Also, the price of a haircut is not $14, it's $20 without a wash or a shave.

Will Aguila

Used Boris for many years. He cuts good and is reasonable. Unfortunately on my Birthday weekend I called during my lunch and he said he wait for me. I got there ten minutes later and 2 people were ahead of me. I paid for 2 trains and lost my lunch hour and couldn't get a haircut. I'm oldschool and I wont be going back. Something his generation just doesn't understand.

Christopher Ryan

Best barbers of the west (side)! Highly trained and experts on cutting, styling, coloring and more. Very friendly and engaging barbers. I highly recommend!

Railoffroader2

Andrés Felipe González Ossa

Nice service and talented barbers

sabah ranim

Not recommend.bad service

Saumya Bhansali

Worst hair cut experience ever. Never have a hair cut with Ariel here. Didn't even finish the haircut properly and is saying that if you have money in your pocket your hair doesn't matter if you don't have money in your pocket with best haircut you look disgusting! Please think before ever going here.

Jeff Damens

Convenient hours; Rafael is a great barber

Howard Eisenstadt

Friendly and quick. Makes me look better.

Jonathan Cramer

Eleanor has given me the best haircuts I've had in a while. She's quick, efficient, and makes you look good. As long as she's cutting hair at Elli's, I'll be going back!

Peter Hogan-De Paul

Fantastic service from Shalom! A very quick cut with excellent quality. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

Habash Petach

I paid hundreds of dollars and their treatment didn't work when I asked for explanations they treated me like garbage Beware and stay away from this horrible place!!!

Farouk Araki

Do not deal with the guy in the first chair. Made the mistake of not waiting for my usual guy because i just wanted a shape up. Explicitly asked for a shape up, he did the sides and the back and called it a haircut. Charged me the haircut price.

Colm Murphy

These guys always do a great job

Rowan Pritchard

Good attention to detail. Patient for the customer. Good service. $20 for a men's cut is not the cheapest, but you get what you want. They're not greedy on the tipping either - other barbers in the area get really pushy about a tip, which is optional. These guys just charge a fair rate and provide good service. I still tipped 20%
