A little shorter than I wanted, but not a bad look. Good haircut.
Arthur made time for me at short notice which I really appreciated after being let down by another near by barber shop. He was professional, asked me plenty of good questions about how I style my hair, products I use and he gave some really good advise which I have benefited from when styling. Would absolutely recommend him.
Arthur did a great job with my haircut and beard. Very clean and chill.
Expert service and attention to detail, I usually book by appointment and they’re always ready when I arrive. Arthur is friendly and willing to advise if you have questions. Highly recommend! Great local small business.
Your local friendly barber, with up to date stylish cuts, recommendations, light touch, and modern services in 1. Flexible online or phone scheduling
Arthur has great attention to detail, is personable, and gives a great haircut. Been to several barbershops in the UES before finding this place, and now I only go to Cutting Edge.
When I moved to the UES three years ago for my job I knew I needed to find a reliable barber. I took a chance on Cutting Edge Barber Shop because of all of the great reviews and I am SO glad that I did. I absolutely love this place and have been coming every month for years with no plans of trying anyone else.The barbers are punctual with appointments and efficient with their timing without sacrificing quality. I’m never nervous about if my haircut will come out looking okay because it is always exactly what I wanted every time. Consistency in a barber is something very important to me and they’ve got years of hair cutting experience to back it up.Fun conversation if you want it, peaceful silence if you want that. They know how to read a room lol.Cleanliness is also essential and the barbers here are extremely meticulous about running their shop to perfection which I appreciate.In regards to COVID safety, I am a practicing physician so I am already very cautious about the spread of the virus. The barbers here wash their hands before and after every cut, sanitize all their tools, wear masks, and allow you to keep yours on during the cut as well if that is a concern to you.Super easy to make an appointment on their website too. I HIGHLY recommend getting your next haircut here.
My barber, Arthur, waved me in with confidence during these covid times. I am always unsure about getting a haircut outside of Chinatown. I need to tell the barber to not cut it too short or I will look like a porcupine. Arthur deftly cut my hair on minimal instruction and spent time getting the small details right. He knows Asian hair. Check him out!
LOVE THIS PLACE!! THEY ARE MY FAVORITE BARBERS EVERRRR Def go and check them out. GREAT styles and very nice people
Arthur is hands down a very skilled barber with a great personality, makes you feel welcomed and always makes sure you come out pleased. Truly the best barbershop I’ve been to around the neighborhood, definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs to be consistent with one barber. Walk in with what you want and come out with a work of art.
Arthur a no nonsense barber that does a fantastic job. I’ve had several cuts by him and every time he takes his time, ask what you want and does excellent work. The wife approves as well which is always important! 😂 His place is always clean and well kept and he also does straight razor shaves and beard trims which I’ll have to try soon. I would highly recommend his shop and glad he’s in the neighborhood. Thanks Arthur!
Very nice place, comfortable, nice atmosphere, great haircut.
Had the pleasure of sitting on Alexs chair. Very welcoming guy, excited to work. Didnt have to explain too much about my cut he already understood what I was going for. I felt both comfortable during the whole cut and satisfied with the result. I recommend Alex to anyone who wants to feel good about their hair!
Best barber shop in the city by far! Online booking is simple and easy and makes it so you never have to wait. Great prices and all of the barbers are very friendly and pay attention to detail. Most importantly the haircut is always on point. I always walk out of this barber shop happy.
Ive had 3 haircuts with Artur in the past two months, each time has been a pleasant experience. Artur takes his time and i never feel rushed. He is exceptional at his craft. He makes great conversation and is a true professional. I recommend Cutting Edge to my friends who live in the area and they all have had the same experience. More than fair price for the amount of time he puts in.
I was visiting NYC for the first time from out of town and needed a haircut. Artur was the perfect find! Found him online and all his rave reviews and 5 star ratings had me choose him. I was not disappointed. Great personable service and a highly skilled barber! I also went with the hot towel shave and that was a treat!I agree with all the comments and reviews for this place. The only thing I can say is that I lucked out with finding Artur and this place! Keep it up Artur, you got a good thing going!
I’ve been here twice now because my old barber was just too far away from my new apartment. Artur is great! He’s very friendly and his schedule is very accommodating. I’ve been perfectly happy with my haircut both times. His cuts are the price I’m used to paying for a wash and cut. I’ll definitely be returning.
Arthur is great! His haircuts have never disappointed me. He knows his stuff and makes getting a haircut an easy, enjoyable experience. I suggest booking online this as he gets quite busy at times.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I was in the neighborhood for a job interview and seeing a good rating online I decided to walk in. I described to the barber (Arthur) how I wanted my haircut; short on the sides, not to take much of the top. I took off my glasses and really couldnt make out what he was doing in the mirror. After he finished with the sides he began working on the top. I really thought he was just trimming it but he took most of it off at the top!The cut took no more than 10 min, he also cut me with the razor on my neck. I go to the register and he charges me $25. I get better haircuts in my neighborhood in Queens for $12!
Moved to the area and needed a new barber. Another shop not too far from me messed up my haircut from my hometown barber, but Artur knew exactly what needed to be done for it to be fixed. Fast, great service and a nice hot towel to get you cleaned up before you leave. Just be sure to book an appointment because it can get busy especially on the weekends.
I’ve known Alex for a long time. He has been giving my three boys haircuts for years. Alex had quickly endeared himself and found a way to my kids’ hearts. They always anticipate their haircuts. Above all he is great barber.
Great haircut at a clean shop! - Its so hard to find both in NYC and for a fair price. As long as I live and work in Manhattan I will go to Cutting Edge Barbershop. I wouldnt go anywhere else!

Just moved to the area and was looking for a Barber at a reasonable price. Artur was the first guy I went to and he has been great! He keeps the shop super clean, and he is professional with great customer service. He takes his time and really listens to what you want done. Hell even make adjustments when you ask. His goal is all about having a happy customer. I was looking at other places, but Ive found my neighborhood spot now
Best haircuts I’ve gotten since moving to The city four years ago. Bounced from place to place in the neighborhood, but never was totally happy anywhere. Arthur is the best! He does a great job, is always up for a good conversation if you like. He takes great pride in his work, I’ve never been disappointed. Won’t dream of trying any other shops, my wife wouldn’t let me if I tried.
There trying to make living, I wouldnt be surprised if they go hungry, but 35$ dollars for a well below parr haircut.... Amateurs
Shelly put a lot of care into trimming the back of my head! Thanks y’all!
I look forward to my half hour every few weeks. Not only does Arthur give the best haircut Ive ever had, his shop is a neighborhood gathering place. Friends are made, laughs are had, and everyone leaves looking and feeling better.
Great cut and shave by Arthur! I am visiting from SC, happened to find this shop and love it. Professional top quality with attention to detail. I will be back!
Arthur always provides excellent service and gives a perfect haircut. The fully stocked beer fridge is an added bonus. I enjoy coming in each and every time.
Got a quick haircut from Alex, the new barber and he did exactly what I asked for. Nice people, nice to talk to and a very clean barber shop. Great fade. Will definitely come back!
Artur is super professional and precise. The shop has a gentleman vibe to it and has very reasonable prices. Consider coming here for a haircut, shape up or a fresh shave. Without a doubt 5 stars!
Cutting Edge and master barber Artur are welcome additions to the neighborhood. Despite the popularity of his work, Artur never rushes through a cut--he makes you feel like the only customer in the place. After a thorough consultation, Artur gives a precision cut followed by a heated-foam neck cleanup and a hot scented towel treatment. Its always the highlight of my week!
Great experience! Arthur is an excellent barber. very professional and clean. He takes his time to make sure you get exactly what you ask for. There is no barber shop chitter chatter or distractions. The Eucalyptus warm towels are my favorite. Nice touch!!
Fabulous barber shop. Alex did an outstanding job cutting my 96 year old uncles hair. He looks amazing and 20 years younger!
This is the barbershop the neighborhood has needed for a long time. I have lived here for 5 years, and tried other barbershops which consist of old guys who have done only 4 haircut styles for 30 years. I ended up going to salons which take forever and are expensive. If you prefer a more modern style from a skilled barber, Arthur at Cutting Edge is the right guy.
My go-to barbershop. Artur always does a great job and makes sure hes giving you exactly what you want. Great fades and the shop is always super clean!
As the guy below - Artur has always been my barber now the last 3 years. Ive tried many others, he is hands down the best out there. He can do any cut you want but his skin fades are the best around! Couldnt be happier that he opened a shop and so close to my apartment in UES. Highly recommend
Excellent barber. Even cut, smooth fade. So glad I found this place.
Great place, Arthur is a very clean precise and consistent with every haircut. I consider myself a very picky costumer and I have been his costumer for almost 7 years. I highly recommend Arthur to all my friends and family!
Nina gave a wonderful haircut and beard shape up! Will definitely be back!
Great service and a reasonable price for the area. Arthur is a great barber, definitely recommend if your looking for a reliable barber.
Best Haircut Ive had for the price in Manhattan, both Arthur and Alex really know what they are doing and make sure you have the best experience possible (even give you a free beer/shot of whisky after your cut.) Make sure to book an appointment online before hand because they get busy at peak times.
Great barber shop that just opened up on the upper east side. Couldnt be happier about the quality of the haircut. Ask for Arthur he does a fantastic job.
Best haircut for the price. Tried some other local spots that were cheaper and regretted it. Wont cheat on them again!
Quality over quantity with Arthur. Can’t go wrong at this barber shop. Highly recommend
BEST barbershop in UES. Arthur does a great job at a reasonable price. The shop has great ambiance as well. Highly recommend.
Artur is a great barber. He takes his time and is friendly. The place is clean and he clearly takes pride in what he does. Highly recommend.
Arthur is a fantastic barber. He always does a great job on hair cuts and beard trims, strives for great customer service, and is very personable!
Classic barber shop where they only cut hair. Love the old school feel and hot towel shaves. Good prices as well.
The barbers are always amazing .They are fast. Prices are decent.Nice atmosphere.Recommended.
Went in with hair way passed My shoulders and worried about how Id look with short hair. Alex is a true artist and I left there feeling like a million bucks and looking a little more like Brad Pitt. Highly recommend this place to anyone who has a hard time trusting barbers.
Nicely-done, well-lit space. Artur pays attention to details like texturing and cleaning off the hair with a heated towel.
Great barber, great experience -- have been going to Arthur for a while now and he never disappoints!
2nd time back at this place and ill be coming back again. Quality hair cut for the price. The barber was very picky with every little detail and this shows that he cares about his craft. A great addition to the UES.
Artur is great! His shop is very clean and well lit. Highly recommend it.
Great experience. Professional service. Would highly recommend
Arthur has been my barber for 4 years while Ive lived in NYC. Ive followed him to several shops around the borough of Manhattan and couldnt be happier that he has now opened his own shop in the UES. Hes friendly, always on-time and does arguably the best haircuts and skin fades in all of NYC. I can walk into the shop a hairy mess and walk out with a clean fade, perfect side-part, neat beard trim and a fresh clean shave around my beard line.
Was looking a bit shaggy, but walked in and got cleaned up in notime...excellent service
Great place. Highly recommended
Best shop on the whole UES. Arthur is great.
Best shop on ues, Ive been to most and I finally feel like Ive found a keeper
I got an amazing haircut. So glad Arthur open a shop on the upper Eastside
Ive lived in five different neighborhoods and have had twice as many barbers. After working with Arthur, I hope to never have to change again.
Good haircut, reasonable price, nice clean place 👍
Great barber! Highly recommend
Not a good haircut, significantly over priced
Quality haircut with a great customer experience
Are the Barbers good with beards?
Great cut, great guy
Good service
Great haircut
Artur is the man!!
