Unfortunately did not follow pic shown & made my son super insecure about how he looks now- thankfully he can somewhat pull it off but there is nothing we can do as the “fade” was so low it’s practically bald…
Owner's response
Hi Mr. Morales, I'm really sorry to hear your son left feeling <br>uncomfortable-that's never the experience we want anyone to have, especially our young clients. Confidence is a huge part of what we do and I take that very seriously.<br>Haircuts can sometimes come out differently than expected, depending on how the request is interpreted or how the hair responds during the service, but we always want the final results to feel right and on point.<br> I would really appreciate the opportunity to take a look and see if there's anything we can do to improve the situation as it grows in-sometimes even a small adjustment can make a big difference in how the haircut blends and feels. <br>Please feel free to contact me directly at the shop and we can make this right, we truly value every client and always aim to provide a positive experience. <br>Brian <br>Owner, Empire State Barbershop<br><br><br>

It’s been a while since I walked into a real barbershop and it definitely won’t be the last. Best hair cut I’ve had in a long long time and I look forward to bringing my son there asap. 100% without a doubt found a new home for proper haircuts.
Owner's response
Nicholas, thank you! It truly means a lot, keeping a real barbershop experience alive, where quality and consistency still matter, is what we're all about. We're honored you found a home here for proper haircuts, and we look forward to taking care of both of you and your son. <br>Most of the people who walk through our doors come from word of mouth, so when you spread the word it means everything. We appreciate the trust and look forward to seeing you again soon. <br>-Brian <br>Owner, Empire State Barbershop

Everybody in this establishment is an absolute pleasure and professional. Special shout out to Kino. This gentleman is an artist when it comes to hair watching him use his tools is like poetry in motion. I highly recommend this establishment For anyone looking to get their hair done by barbers that know what they’re doing!

They’re a tiny bit pricier than I’d like but I will say for the price you pay they are quick and good. Like really quick and very good. Makes spending decent money on a haircut feel worth it.

Great atmosphere. Was looking for a place for a while until I found this place, now is my go to spot. Haircuts are done professionally and with great care. Kris was terrific, really knows what he’s doing. Definitely recommend, worth the price!

Brian has been my barber for 10+ years now and has done an incredible job every time. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and takes the time to get to know the people walking into his business. The whole team there is excellent and creates a welcoming environment. 10/10 recommend giving this place a visit and hope others find the same level of trust and confidence I have had with Empire State Barbershop for more than a decade!

Happy to hear these remarks. Thank you very much. Always a pleasure Suraj...

I’ll start by saying it’s not a bad barbershop. I own multiple businesses and I don’t want to be harsh on the boys, they obviously have their clientele and friends but I was looking for a quick haircut for my business trip to Toronto Canada tomorrow, so I took my chances. I Wished there was a little more attention put into my line up by kino. Definitely a decent man, but not a master barber like it says on his business card. Not a guy that should touch beards Also… I went into the shop with a full beard and came out like a baby, thank god he didn’t even use a blade to line me up. Asked for a clean up and a line up I didn’t get that.. my hair cut and let’s call it beard trimming with and incomplete line up was $55 and I added $10 tip.. then had to run to my other barber that’s further away to clean me up. Didn’t save anytime Even though I was on the chair and out in under 15 mins. Sorry for the review guys. It’s important to pay attention to your customers a little more.
Owner's response
Hi Nour, this is surely not a positive review but the experience is sure to help us in many ways in the future. I know you made a thoughtful contribution to the community by sharing your feedback. The photo is appreciated. I see why you feel a little insecure with your beard so short. I'm surprised you took such a risk with your normal barber still within reach. Interesting

Got my cut from Kino was about a 7 out of 10. A little rushed, harsh cut, overall just soso. I would have given it 3 or 4 stars but this cut on my head makes it a solid 2. Very disappointed.
Owner's response
Thanks for visiting us on the first time and sharing your experience online. Sorry you were disappointed with the results. We do admit straight razor edge ups are risky in the sensitive areas of the forehead. We do our best to accommodate requests for enhanced hairlines but unfortunately there can be mistakes that happen. We ensure you that our pros use fresh blades with every service.

Today was my first time getting a haircut here and I will definitely be going back! Brian is a magician with his tools. He was able to look at a picture of what I wanted and replicate it. Even though it was my first time meeting him, I can tell he is a great guy and he runs a great business. One of the best haircuts I've gotten in my life, can't wait for my next visit!
Owner's response
That's so good to hear! Thank you Matt for the review and continued confidence. All the best!<br>Brian
