Uncle Ernie’s Barber Shop

I’ve been going to Uncle Ernie’s for going on two years. To make a long story short I leave Hempstead & drive to Merrick just for a haircut!

In need of a fresh new cut but not sure which barber to go to? Mike at uncle ernie’s will hook you up with the best haircut and beard trim money can buy. I previously went to a few dozen barber shops looking for the perfect cut and I have definitely found it here. Mike doesn’t just cut your hair; he designs a style unique to you and you alone. I am 100% a lifelong customer since mike has always done an incredible job. He is usually very busy, most likely due to his popularity around long island. If you don’t believe me, just check out this picture of my fresh cut — thanks mike you’re the man!

I have gotten a haircut from everyone here at least once. Nice people and very kid friendly. Prices are very reasonable

I’ve had a basic variation of the same haircut since I was 5. ½ or 1 on the sides, 5 or 6 on top and make sure it fades in nicely. Pretty straight forward but I had a very hard time finding someone who could knock it out on LI. Until I stumbled across Uncle Ernie’s. After trying a couple of the guys I landed in Mike’s chair and now he’s my guy. My hair has never looked better. Pleasant to talk to, careful, and you’re never rushed. I drive through a couple of towns (passing a number of other barber shops on the way) to get here, so it’s not the most convenient. But I wouldn’t consider going to anyone else. Give Mike a shot, you’ll see what I mean. And if there is slight wait for him — there is a good reason, grab a paper and hang out, worth the wait.

Went to Uncle Ernie’s for the 1^st time. Mike did an amazing job cutting my hair exactly the way i wanted. Not to mention he was easy and interesting to talk to.
I am now a customer

Ive been going to Mike at Uncle Ernie’s for years now! Best Barber around… Several of my friends have been using mike also. He’s the only guy I will let touch my hair. You may wait 10 – 20 mins for him, but it is well worth the wait…
His attention to detail is what set’s him apart. He always takes the time to make sure you look you’re best after leaving his chair!

Good people, nice cut, quick. Called to see if they were open, they were closing and they stayed open late to fit me in. Will be back.

The day before my son’s third birthday I took him here for a trim. My exact words were «I like it long on top but he just needs a trim in the back, on the sides and in the front so his hair is not in his eyes.» Well I was almost in tears when he was done. It looks like my son took scissors to his own hair. The are random cuts in his hair and it’s uneven all over. The front of his hair is short by his right eye (like near his hair line) and long on the left (past his eyebrow).
I didn’t give him 1-​star because the person I was with got a hair cut (just needed a buzz with different clips) and it looked good.

What can I say. I live in Merrick, I get my hair cut here. Boris is my barber. If your a guy, and you need a haircut, they can do it.
