Big Apple Barber Shop

Great guys and great service. Igor gave me what I asked for and got it done quick. Will surely be back.

Gotta hand it to these guys! There are a handful of shops in a 5 block radius that all look incredibly similar, so they need to be good to keep the biz coming, and they are. Wait time is usually minimal (I go mid-​day weekdays) and they really take their time with your cut, even though there are only 2 – 3 chairs going at a time and people waiting. I think if you polled the crowd, everyone would wait an extra 10min to keep their locks looking dapper. Typically, I show my barber a pic of what I want, but at this point they know already and can style my locks to perfection. They usually give me other style options too, but aren’t pushy about it (sadly, I’ve fallen into that trap a few times). The $ 20 price tag is well worth it. Come on out and get cut!

Happy to find my barber in the city after moving here. Igor and Artur always deliver a good service and make me really satisfied with the haircut. I would stay away from the third guy furthest from the street. Had a bad experience once.

Awesome haircut every time. The place is clean and they play movies in front of you. The prices are good and no matter which barber you choose at this place you will like the result.

Great barber shop. Professional and quick. Will come back next time. Ask for alex — came in for a quick fade.

Great haircut. was going to the same barber for 10 years, moved and this place keeps me looking great.

I’ve been coming here for a while and they always do a great job. I used to live close by and now I make the trip even though I live in Brooklyn. Efficient, good service, reasonable prices. Definitely recommended.

I just moved back here and have been nervous about finding a new barber. Been seeing the same barber for 12 years and it’s always tough to find someone really good at their craft — usually takes a bunch of bad haircuts before you land on someone who knows what they’re doing.
Look no further than Igor. The dude is incredibly good at what he does. His attention to detail, ability to fade and overall skill with clippers and a pair of scissors is incredible. And a really nice guy to top it all off.
A friend recommended him, and I’m happy to recommend him to anyone else. Truly an exceptional barber who deserves all the praise he gets. It’s a no frills barber shop, but who needs frills when you have the kind of skill that Igor brings to the table.
Go for it. You won’t regret it.

Found on Unilocal by searching barbers east village — selected this one based on reviews and, once again, Unilocal came through for me. Excellent cut — excellently what I wanted and expected. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Igor gave me an excellent hair cut! Friendly and professional service! The barber shop is clean, inviting, and conveniently located in the East Village. I would highly recommend Big Apple Barber Shop.

Great haircut. Alex was super awesome. They do exactly what you ask for and more.
Recommend if in the neighborhood.

Great haircuts, great value, plus I got to watch a movie while getting my cut! The guys are very nice and the prices can’t be beat

Awesome place. Igor really took his time to make my hair look the way I wanted. I came in with really overgrown long hair and he trimmed it down to a nice clean cut. I will definitely return.

I love this place. The best cuts in NYC!!!
Igor and Artur are wonderful Barbers and I’m so glad I found a reliable place right next to stuytown.
Ask them for any style and they’re the best in the area.
Also they offer great discounts and prices aren’t too high

I was just like you.
Yes, I downloaded the Unilocal app and did thorough research on various barber shops around the city because I was tired of barbers screwing up my hair. I was tired of having to explain myself a thousand times to every barber I visited because they had no idea what a disconnected undercut is. I was tired of leaving barber shops and trying to cover up my head because I was dissatisfied with my cut. Just like you. Today, I visited Big Apple, and I was impressed.
The place is tiny; I’m not going to lie to you and promise an amazing area and great atmosphere because this is not the place you go to to have a bite to eat or spend time with friends. This is, at its heart, a barber shop. That’s all there is to it. I made an appointment online with Alex prior to arrival. I sat down in Alex’s chair and he asked me what I would like. I began to explain and it was as if he was already inside of my mind. He understood exactly what I wanted, and he was so knowledgeable that he even pointed out the mistakes my prior barber made.
In the end, the haircut was clean and looked great. I will return again!!! I encourage you to visit this shop.
You will not be disappointed.

These guys are fantastic. Started getting my haircut here two years ago when my roommate recommended I go to Big Apple, and I have been one hundred percent satisfied. A great haircut every time, a great price, and the guys who work here are great.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

Awesome haircut by Igor. Found this place through Unilocal and did not disappoint. Easy to book cuts online as well. A++.

Seriously the best barbershop I have ever been to. I’ve had my hair cut by three different barbers and each of them has given me a great style along with friendly service. My two favorite barbers here are Igor and Artur. They are exceptionally skilled at fades and hard parts, and I can definitely attest to being happy with my haircut results here. The fades that I’ve gotten from Artur are very detailed and are not spotty.
They always ask you what style you want, and definitely go out of their way to make sure they aren’t cutting your hair too short or not enough. In the middle of your cut, they will ask if you are happy with the length, etc. You can ask for a razor shave on the back of your neck, which I usually get. At the end of your haircut, they always offer gel or pomade to top off your look.
I have never once been skipped over while waiting. It’s first come, first serve and they remember who has been waiting in what order. They do offer reservations, which are good to have if you’re coming here during the busy times after work. There are TVs that you can watch while waiting or for your entertainment during your cut. All the barbers are friendly and talk to you during your haircut, but they also don’t over do the conversation.
The price for a haircut here is $ 18. They also offer touch ups, beard trims, and straight razor shaves, but I’m not sure what the prices are for those. I definitely recommend Big Apple, and will be returning for a while.

Got a good haircut and watched Furious 7…
Yes it’s still out in theaters
Next movie on the list, the Avengers

Honestly a breath of fresh air every time I walk in.
Usually 3 guys at a time. Make an appointment online!
Alex is my guy and I’m telling you he’s one of the best I’ve ever had. Why? He doesn’t just cut your hair, he guides you. He’ll discuss with you first why you should or shouldn’t get the hair style you want. If its the latter, he’ll suggest alternatives that fit you better. He’ll guide you into every step he makes and make sure you’re getting what you want. I mean I’ve never had a guy like him he tells me everything about my hair so I know what to look for. And goddamnit he does it well. He always looks very awake and vigilant it’s like he only drinks red bull or something. And once he’s cutting my hair it’s all focus for him.
Very very easy to trust.
Don’t get me wrong I’ve been with the other guys too, Artur and Igor, and they know what there doing. they truly care and I feel like they’d never let you walk out without their best work.
