Review №1

I drifted in and out of many (many!) barbers’ chairs in New York City before eventually landing in Mike’s back in 2012. It’s now nearly a decade later, and his are still the only pair of scissors that I will let near my head. Of course—as the other reviews here note—Mike’s exceptional skills as a barber are just one of the reasons that I consistently return to his chair. The “vibe”, as I believe the kids call it nowadays, is always natural and relaxed and Mike never disappoints when it comes to carrying on great and engaging conversation while he does the ole snippy-snip. In all seriousness, he is a real professional, and he delivers literally every single time. I can’t recommend strongly enough that you book your next haircut with him, so do yourself a kindness and get in his chair!

Mike is definitely the best barber I have come across. He has been my barber since 2012 and has guided my hair through all the different phases: consistently short, going from short to long, consistently long, and most recently going from long to short. Its always an enjoyable and stress free experience, he is the ultimate professional. I would give more than 5 stars if Google allowed.

Mikes easily the best barber Ive ever had. I know Im in good hands as soon as I sit in his chair. Been going to him for about 8 years or so. Whether its going for the clean short look or keeping it shaggy he knows exactly what to do. Not only is the cut top notch but the conversations are epic. You leave feeling like you were just served a few cocktails from Sam Malone.

Without a doubt, best barber I’ve ever been to. I can’t recommend him fast enough to friends and strangers alike, and if you’re reading this trying to decide who to go to for a haircut, just make an appointment. You won’t be disappointed.

Mike Sposito has been my barber for over 10 years. Im writing this as an endorsement, knowing that he has just relocated to a new city. There are many a good barber / stylist, but it is difficult to articulate the difference between someone who is good versus great or extraordinary which is how I would describe Mike. He of course has the technical skills to pay the bills, and is extremely socially adaptable without being superficial or chatty. He is a genuinely cool and intelligent dude. His knowledge of culture, music, film etc give him a style vocabulary that enables him to not only give you exactly what you want, but help you discover what you never knew you needed.He will probably make you laugh and turn you on to several things in the process.Book him while you can.

Sposito changed my life! The haircuts are amazing too.Mike has been an incredible style guide over the years and is a compassionate listener and entertainer while you are in his chair. He makes me wish I needed to get my haircut every week!

Mike has cut my hair for 5 years and if youre not booking with him, then youre simply missing out. Always on time, always provides the highest level of service, and even made me feel comfortable trying new styles and cuts. If you cant trust your barber then who can you trust?!P.S. ask him what hes watching on any of the streaming platforms, his recos never let me down there either :)

Best haircut Ive ever had and its not even particularly close. Gettin outta Mikes chair always has me feeling like The Mayor walking down the street. Dude is as cool as they come and if youre real nice to him he might even tell you about his career in the rodeo. Worth every single penny.

One of the best to ever do it. You would be hard pressed to find someone like Mike that can understand what you want and translate that into an amazing cut.

First time I got a cut from Mike I showed him a pic of what I wanted and he nailed it. 8 years later still havent let anyone else touch my hair. Awesome stylist and an overall great guy. You wont leave disappointed.

Mike has a cultural/anthropological understanding of hair/hairstyling reference points that is extremely cool. He’s down to talk it through and figure out what’s best for you or just give you what you want.

Mike Sposito knows his craft. It can be hard to get a good mens cut, and Mike delivers. Dont think twice, just book him. You wont regret it.

I’ve been getting my cut with Mike for the past few years (including at my wedding). Mike is a patient barber that always makes you feel at home and relaxed when you’re in the chair. He’s always in the know of the latest styles and can adapt to whatever you need. Bend is lucky to have him!

For a good time, call Mike — this guy is a legend. His cuts are always instinctual and never too thought out or contrived. He will give you the confidence you never knew you needed.

Mike is, hands down, the best barber Ive had in the last 50 years....stylish, talented, and a great wit....its not just a haircut, its a visit with a great friend, who can also make you look your best.

Switching barbers is a big deal, first time I went to Mike, he made me feel important and above all was serious about his craft. Ill never forget those words, “I want to show you my skills” ive been going to him for 8 years and never felt like some guy on the chair. He takes time to know his customers. Its therapy for the price of a haircut. Trust me, book him now!

Mike was my barber for years in Brooklyn. Im one of those clients that always comes with some sort of era / vibe and Mike always nailed it. He is extremely skilled and also has a deep well of knowledge when it comes to music art and film which makes for great conversation while in the chair. Book with him while you still can!

I have been going to Mike for 7+ years and won’t let anyone else touch my hair. Mike gives a great cut and is a great guy as well. Gather and Bend are luck to have him. So go see Mike, you are going to like the way you look, I guarantee it.

I’ve gotten my haircut by Mike for many years. Everything from a skin fade to shoulder length hair, he’s done it all. Very attentive and well rounded barber/hairstylist.

Mike gives a quality cut and can do it all. Im picky about how my hair is cut . I barely said a word about it, the man knows how to cut. Hes a fun guy to talk to and can make time fly by. Couldnt recommend this guy enough

Hell of a barber. Used to dread getting a haircut, not with that dude, no no. Been going to Sposito for 6-7 years, not cutting my hair ever again if it’s with someone else. That’s it

Mike has been cutting my hair for three years and doing an excellent job. Here are 2 things that make me swear by him:1. Personality & Taste — I think he’s and interesting guy with fantastic taste. When i sit down, we talk a little bit about what we think works in my hair, in our neighborhood, in jewelry, in dating. Once, he leant me his pick up truck so I could haul my motorcycle. I trust the guy, is I guess what im saying, in matters of hair and non-hair.2. Knowing How My Hair Grows — He cuts my hair in a way where it continues to look great as it grows out. After one cut, my hair looks great for months afterwards, as it cycles through different styles and lengths. How does he do it. We dont know. He seems to take the time to understand how my hair works in a way other folks dont.
