David’s Barber Shop

I originally gave these guys 4 stars because I can be extremely picky and based on my first experience, that is what I felt it was. But I’ve been coming now for over two years and frankly, I was a fool to not give them 5 stars sooner. David is the best barber I’ve ever come to in my life. This guy knows his stuff like nobody else. He gives me an on point cut each time, and since I’ve been doing the whole Brooklyn hipster beard thing the last few years, he keeps my beard in excellent shape. Way better than I manage to do on my own. His shave is precise, clean and gets me lots of compliments. I look forward to coming in for my cut and shave 1 – 2 times a month and hanging out with him and whomever is in the shop. It’s got a laid back, neighborhood feel — everyone is very friendly, it’s clean and welcoming. And the 1 – 2 times David wasn’t there (this guy is almost always there), his brother Rafael stepped in and did an awesome job as well. If you’re a guy looking for a completely reliable, affordable and warm barber shop in the neighborhood, I definitely recommend you stop in here.

Walked right in, no appointment, and was seated immediately. Michael looks young, but knows what he’s doing. I went for the shave & cut, came out to $ 30 for the combo, and I’m pleased. It was done quickly, came out well, and Michael was very friendly.

I’ve lived across the street for over 5 years and have had my hair cut consistently here. There’s rarely a wait (& never more than for the one person in the chair) and I love the small business family community feel of the shop. They’ll engage you in conversation if you want or let you watch the sports on TV (I love soccer). The cuts are always efficient and I’m quite pleased with the result, hence going to them month in and out for over six years for ‘the regular’. Michael (brother of David) is my usual barber and he always takes good care of me, often going above and beyond with a hot towel shave (do it!). This is probably the last great value in the area and I always feel as if I’ve gotten more than my money’s worth walking out the door, so much so that I can go back frequently without going over budget. You will be pleased if you’re looking for a reliable mom & pop barber shop (not a stylist). Do it.

solid spot for a cut in Brooklyn. I waited a bit for the main guy (David), but it was worth it overall. $ 17 is about the running rate around here.
No hot towel post cut though. They should consider adding that. Also I wasn’t so sure the other folks cutting were as skilled as David.
Comfy waiting area, comfy barber chairs. Not too long of a wait for Saturday afternoon (30 mins). I’d go again if in the area.

Sharp, quick and fair priced haircut what more so you want? 17USD for the haircut 8USD for the beard trim

I’ve been visiting this shop for about 8 years now, and going to see Michael since he started cutting hair (5+ years now, I think?). I started going because I lived right down the street, and have since moved out of the neighborhood. But I always go out of my way to see Michael because he gives, hands down, the best haircut around. I always get compliments! He always remembers me when I come in. I never even have to say anything, except nod when he asks, «Usual?». We chat like we’re old friends when I’m sitting in his chair, and when I come back 5 – 6 weeks later, we pick right back up.
I would recommend (and have, many times) this barber, and especially Michael, to anyone. Go there once. Trust me, you’ll go back again.

While I make a habit of going to David’s every Saturday for a buzz cut, I wasn’t sure what to expect when bringing my 2-​year old son who has a full head of hair and a short attention span.
I was pleasantly surprised at the result. Helena put on the cartoon channel, listened to what I asked for, and was extremely patient with his ‘jerky’ head movements. Most importantly, he ended up with a great haircut. And if that wasn’t enough, she gave him his favorite flavored lollipop before we left!

David is an excellent barber. Friendly family atmosphere and they’re not stingy with the air conditioning. All around a great experience.

Great men’s haircuts at a great price. I used to go to a «salon» and pay 45 dollars for a haircut, but never again… these guys do much better work for less than half the price. I came here last week and I’ve never gotten so many compliments on a haircut before. No appointment needed here, and they move things along well, so it’s no more than a 10 minute wait. Anyone looking for a solid men’s haircut in a Brooklyn for under $ 20, this is the place to go.

As a member of the bald club I get lazy with having to shave frequently. So I was luck to walk in here on a Saturday without an appointment. I had a full head/​face/​neck shave. Barber was very precise and professional with the razor. This place is great, not many places pay attention to detail when shaving is involved.

Great cuts for a great price from great people. Had a hair cut, beard trim and hot razor line up for $ 30. Great neighborhood feel too. Can’t go wrong.

$ 17 is way too much to pay for a bad haircut. My barber barely listened to me, threw a cape on and twenty minutes later I walked out looking like a toddler got ahold of scissors. Honestly, there is a chunk of my scalp with hair a full inch shorter than the rest.
Skip it. You’ll regret $ 17 you spent every time you look in the mirror.

Got a very solid cut. Not the friendliest people. But they weren’t absolute dicks either. I’d absolutely recommend.

Just moved to Brooklyn and was looking for my new place to get a haircut. No need to look any further, because this place was fantastic. On a weeknight after work I did not have to wait at all! Michael was very professional and did an awesome job with my hair. I just get a simple buzz cut, but he was very conscious of all the details and making sure everything was even. Even trimmed my eyebrows for me! It was also a great value, which is hard to come by in this city. I will definitely be coming back on the regular. Highly recommended!

As a woman who wears her hair short and travels a lot, I use barbers and tell them what size clippers to use (5&2) — usually it gets me a decent haircut and sometimes a great one. Raphael knew just what to do, was friendly and asked all the right questions. I’ve found my Brooklyn barber for future trips…

I’ve been going for years, and I’ve gotten a solid haircut each time, from any of the barbers. Great neighborhood spot.

They’re good at what they do and the value doesn’t get better than this.
I just moved to the area and decided to go a little out of my way because of the great reviews I read for this place. I made the right choice. Michael, the young one, was kind, professional, and skillful. The value you get for $ 17 is unsurpassable. I’ve been to other cheap chop shops in and around the city and I have to say that with this one I am the most pleased.

This is a great barber, and I have rarely gotten a cheaper haircut, both in the city and elsewhere. The guys working here are friendly and good at what they do, and I don’t usually have to wait long.
I get a haircut and a beard trim when I go, and both always turn out how I want them. It’s low-​key, but that’s not to say it’s no frills. Plus, they show soccer games when they’re on.
I’ve been coming here for a year now and I don’t see that changing.

Came to David’s Barber Shop for 2 reason’s:
1) I needed a new Barber shop for a first time creation of a Beard Line and Beard Shave.
2) Past Unilocal Reviews never lie and so I took a chance due to my reliable Unilocal Buddy.
I’ve previously been getting my haircut in the Sheepshead Bay area by a very good Uzbek hairstylist. Unfortunately the place I was going to was a salon and not a male barber shop hence I was not able to get my Beard worked on.
I ventured out to David’s Barber Shop within the Cobble Hill area of Brooklyn with the help of Unilocal who never disappoints. David who is also from Uzbek was the person who cut my hair and gave me a great looking shape and shave to my beard. The experience was so great that I might even change my Barber of 10+ years. That is unheard of in Guy Code with Barbers who are very good.

Good Bye Old Salon… Hello David’s Barber Shop… You might just have a customer for life!

I have been going here since they opened back in February 2005. Before finding this place I didn’t have a regular spot. I only go to barber shops, not salons, and it was hard finding one that was not so old school that the haircut looked like something out of The 50s or something sickeningly hipster and pretentious.
David’s shop is great. A great refuge when I want to get a cut and shave and listen to guys banter but also family-​friendly enough to take my son, who was born the same month they opened, so he’s had all of his cuts there. In fact, I am surprised David let us back after how insane my kid was during his first cut!
Great guys, great shop, great prices.
