I have been a client at Elvin's for more than 25 years now. I worked with El Presidente (now retired) and now with Elvin. I could not be happier. The quality of the haircuts is amazing and the pricing more than fair. The shop has an old school New York charm. Got get more than an haircut, you get an experience! After all this time, I feel like I am visiting family each time I get a haircut. Thank you for everything you do, Elvin and colleagues!

Worst Barber Ever – Jose Completely Ruined My Hair I’m beyond furious right now. I asked for something so simple — a #4 on the sides and to keep it long on top. I even repeated myself twice, just to be clear: don’t cut too short. What does Jose do? He chops off way more than I asked for and leaves my hair so thin that it now sticks straight up. It’s honestly unbelievable how someone can mess up such a basic request. And when I tried to explain the problem, this guy had the nerve to tell me “don’t worry, just use gel.” Stay far, far away from Jose. Save your time, your money, and your hair.

I took my son here to fix a bad haircut he got in Houston. Elvin did an amazing job—very thorough and kind. If we lived in NYC, we would be here every week.

I’m a girl with a skin fade with a slightly longer top. My hair is kind of my thing, and I religiously maintain my look with weekly barber cuts. I moved to the neighborhood a few months ago and found Elvin. I’m probably the only girl who goes there, but he’s very welcoming. Best of all, he is precise and deliberate. He gets my fade perfect every single time! Highly recommend this shop and Elvin if you can get him.

The barber did a unnecessary diagonal cut on one end of my mustache that was unfixable, I had to just leave before he continues, I got home and find out my haircut was uneven, he shaved one part of my hair in one side only. The experience was bad
Owner's response
Sorry for the bad experience I hope you can give us another shot at giving you a better experience and haircut.

Anyone who ever gave this shop a bad review is lying. This was the most professional haircut i have ever gotten. I barely could explain what i wanted but he got it and went way above my expectations. Best haircut i have ever gotten, elvin is really that guy. He used like 5 different razors and tools i had never seen before to get me look 100% best.
Owner's response

It's been a while since I trusted anyone cutting my hair but I decided to give them a shot after all the positive reviews. I'm glad I did because the haircut was amazing. Great vibes inside too. I will definitely be coming back on a regular basis.

Best haircut quality/price in the area, hands down. I had Gabriel and he was awesome, he knew exactly what I was looking for and made sure everything was according to what I had in mind. Definitely fair prices and just a good overall vibe in there. If you need a quality haircut save yourself some trouble and just go here.
