I decided to walk into this barbershop given its proximity to work and had high expectations for this place given the reviews. The haircut ended with me not having not one but two nicks on both sides of my head. The haircut was weirdly aggressive. At the end, an adjacent barber said it was because I have a dry scalp. I am an adult in my 30s, and I have never been nicked and left bleeding on both sides of my scalp when getting a haircut. I condition my scalp every day. I laughed at their response, paid and left.
Owner's response
Jobin, I’m very sorry you were cut and left bleeding during your haircut; that is unacceptable and we appreciate you telling us. <br>Please DM or call the shop so we can arrange a full refund or a free corrective appointment with a senior barber, and know we are retraining staff on clipper safety and technique to prevent this from happening again.

Very friendly and and amazing service, affordable as well. I had a haircut with Ozkan. I recommend him to everybody. He is very professional and talented. He gave exactly the same haircut i’ve anticipated. I’ll definitely visit them again.
Owner's response
Thank you, Tan, for the wonderful review and for recommending Ozkan; we’re delighted he delivered the exact haircut you expected. <br>We look forward to welcoming you back and will continue providing friendly, professional, and affordable service.

Made an online booking for 7pm and when I arrived, they rudely chased me out 'because it's too late'. Totally fair given it closes at 7.30pm, but perhaps don't offer a booking slot at 7pm - just a warning to others.
Owner's response
We're very sorry you were treated rudely when you arrived for a 7:00pm booking; you’re right we shouldn’t offer that slot if we close at 7:30, and we take responsibility by updating our online booking times and retraining staff to prevent this. <br>Please message us directly or call the store so we can make this right and ensure a better experience next time; we appreciate your feedback and want to resolve this.

Oskar is efficient, precise, and was intuitive about what haircut I wanted and what I needed. I left his shop with more than a haircut; I was stylin'! The shop's prices are reasonable. This is my third visit, and I will return again.
Owner's response
Dear Kelly, thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Oskar met your expectations and that you feel stylish after each visit—your continued support means the world to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Terrible experience and a really unprofessional haircut. Left me two bold spots. The boss was praying and the other kid gave me two terrible bold spots. Stay away!
Owner's response
Hey friend sorry to hear such a bad experience i am the manger of this barbershop and take a full responsibility but i saw the videos that my barber cut your normal it has nothing to do with the barber you have a bold spot so don’t blame the barber for it its not right thing to do I have all the videos that you keeped asked the barber to cut it short and shorter now you blaming the barber common <br>And plus you giving this bed review to the wrong location <br>For the future reference make up you’re mind before blaming the other you literally got a bold spot even though it showed on the picture you don’t have a hair on that spot. You do have less hair so there is no way in one day or two days they have fall off.

Imperial is a wonderful barber shop on 51st Street. Recently they had brought in Raffaele who has cut my hair continuously since 1979. He is the best barber in NYC and is a perfectionist. There is no one better than Raffaele. His client base has been with him forever - they never leave him. The other barbers there aewm to be quite proficient as well but Raffaele is special. Unfortunately, Raffaele recently left Imperial so that has to affect my rating substantially since the only reason I frequented Imperial was to see Raffaele.
Owner's response
Thank you for your fantastic review, Jeffrey! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a long and positive experience with Raffaele. He truly is a master of his craft, and we’re glad to have him as part of our team. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Update: Came in this morning for another haircut and shave. Great job again! I actually timed my haircut around my visit to NYC. I'll be happy to return again. See you next time! June, 2025: My son and I stopped in for haircuts on a Saturday morning. Normally, I worry about getting my hair cut by a new barber, but the reviews on Google Maps led me to Imperial. We found friendly, welcoming, talented barbers there. We both like our cuts very much. I also had a hot shave. Highly recommend! We'll be back the next time we're in NY!
