Ive been coming to Ruben for 5 years, and at this point I cant imagine finding anyone who could give me a better haircut. Or anyone who takes the needs of his customers more seriously. At the start of the pandemic, I moved to CT and having tried a couple of places up here, I now drive 90 mins to the city every month just for a haircut. Being in the music and entertainment industry, having a fashionable look is extremely important, and I always know Im going to leave Ruben looking great.

Coming from someone who, 10 years ago, spent an afternoon in Union Square and asked where certain passerby’s received their proper fades (e.g., only those with haircuts worthy of the question), you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t swing by and get a cut from Ruben. Master of his craft is an understatement. Enjoy as much as I have.

East Village Barbershop is hands down my favorite barbershop in NYC! Ruben, the owner, is the most charismatic (not to mention talented) barber I’ve encountered so far. When I step into his shop I feel like a friend, not a customer. Before COVID I would get my haircut and be in there for an hour longer just talking with Ruben and the other customers. It’s really a great place for the community! Also, the haircut you get will be great! Stay sexy!

Ive been coming to Rubens shop for over two years and his barbershop is the best in town! I no longer live in the East Village, having moved to Hamilton Heights recently, but I always make a point to come here to get my haircut. They offer a free beer with your haircut, great hair wash with scalp massage service. If you want to get your haircut, have a few laughs with the friendly staff and customers, this is the place to come!

Review β„–33

Haircut was decent but felt really uncomfortable with the lack of professionalism surrounding the pandemic. The barbers mask didn’t fit well and wasn’t over his mouth and nose the whole time. On several occasions he took mine off to get to tough areas. Overall not a comfortable experience.

Review β„–42

East Village Barber is a great place to get a hair cut. The vibe is relaxed and the prices are great. But the owner goes above and beyond to make sure his customers get a good experience. Hes there 7 days a week cracking jokes and checking in on you. Recommend going during off hours as it kind tend to get busy.

Review β„–43

Ive been coming here for over a year, found it by walking around the corner from my East Village apartment. Cant possibly say anything bad about the haircuts. Amazing cuts every time, always offer a beer, and a fun environment.Ruben and his team do an amazing job! Ive had a cut from pretty much everybody there, and the service is excellent across the board!Youd be crazy to not get your hair cut here.

Review β„–44

Amazing service. I feel at home here! I recently moved uptown and still make the commute down to the east village for my haircuts every two weeks. Highly recommended for anyone who cares about their appearance. What I love most is that they actually take time to cater to the customers request as opposed to other barber shops that hurry to get you out. In my opinion, a haircut is a personal experience specific to each customer and should be treated like one. Definitely not an assembly line like feel in this place.

Ruben and his staff and East Village Barbershop will have you leaving in a smile. From the great atmosphere to the old barbershop seats. I have been a customer of Rubens for over 10 years. I followed through 3 different shops in Queens and now into Manhattan. The haircut you get will be the best cut of your life. At East Village Barbershop you get an old fashioned hit shaving cream and straight razor finish and a hot towel with menthol rub around your whole head. This place is top notch. If youre looking for a barbershop you just found the last one you have to look for.

Walked by 2 years ago looking for a new spot and I never had to look again. Always good vibes, good people, and most importantly the best haircuts. Always walk out feeling good after a haircut from here. Ruben is the mayor of the neighborhood. He greets everyone that walks by.

Review β„–51

Never been to a barber shop that gives you a β€œshave” with an electric razor. No blades to be found in this place. Then again after experiencing their touch with a set of trimmers I’m glad they didn’t have a razor...

Review β„–52

I had a great experience here. I only give 4 stars because the layout of the whole salon is a bit confusing. However, the man who worked on my hair was very conversational and that made up for the peculiarity of the salon in my case. I would go again!

Review β„–53

I moved to New York from Australia and googled the place. I came in and got not only an awesome haircut but an hour of non stop laughter. If you want the best haircut and banter in the city, come here. Also has super cute chicks that work here who will give you a great hair wash and a cold beer.

Review β„–54

Have been coming here for three years. Great spot and a standby for me in the East Village. Wouldn’t look to get a haircut anywhere else. Never had a negative experience with any of their barbers, and always a fun conversation. Would highly recommend for anyone searching for a robust barbershop that’s mastered their trade.

Review β„–55

Ruben is the best and this barbershop is an awesome experience. It combines good haircuts with a good atmosphere. Be prepared for a few zingers and jokes but its what gives this place its character. Ruben is the business owner and lead barber but what makes it great is that all of his guys are just as good. In addition to listening what it is that you want, theyll make recommendations to improve your cut.Highly recommend checking it out.

Review β„–57

Looking for a barber as interesting as I am proved tough. Being a creative type as I am, I needed the best. Matt is as tough as they come, as best as they get. Brilliant and agreeable, like his hands have a mind of their own. Astounding!

Review β„–58

My experience at east village has always been exceptional. It took me almost four months to find a good barbershop on the area and now I send all my friends here. The lively atmosphere and friendliness of the staff is bar none. Reuben the owner prides himself on his amazing work and holds his team to the same standard. My first experience was great starting with the beer when I walked in and ending with an amazing cut. Since then I only come here because of the work. Reuben might as well be the mayor of the neighborhood because not one moment ever goes by without someone stopping in to say hello or him knowing everyone that walks by. He makes an amazing effort to know about everyone that comes in and remembers everything even if they only came once. This shop is truly a call act with some of the best cuts in the city.

Review β„–59

Been coming here a year now, DEFINITELY worth it. Great haircuts and the eucalyptus towels are amazing. Also, Ruben (the owner) is a blast. They’ve got a dog (sometimes) who’s adorable. The proximity to some of the best restaurants doesn’t hurt either.

Review β„–60

The only barbershop Ive gone back to over the past 2 years. All pros working here. Good music, good conversation, great cuts. Never a long wait and they hustle. I showed up as they were closing once and they invited me in anyway. Great staff, positive energy from everyone.

Review β„–61

Wow. I’m a new resident of New York and I am extremely picky with who touches my hair. Ruben has the hands of a surgeon! This man works wonders with all kinds of hair types and styles. The ambience in the shop makes me feel at home, especially when the workers welcome you with a warm smile and a fresh complimentary beer. I recommend all my friends to come here just to even have a chat with Ruben, he’s the epitome of New York culture.

Review β„–62

Been coming here for half a year now. Best barbershop in town. Went to a bunch of other places but have never found a spot where I can always get a good cut. Highly recommend this spot. Barbers are all laid back and the environment is very welcoming and chill. Best hair washes/scalp massages. They also give you complementary beer while youre either waiting or getting a cut! Cant beat that service!

I had a great haircut today from Ruben. I found great reviews of this place on Yelp two years ago when I moved to NYC and decided to check it out. Havent gone to another place since. Great vibe, friendly people and great haircut for a reasonable price. And great conversation! Ruben seemingly knows every language, so youll feel at home wherever youre from.

I walked in to the east village barber shop with my friend. I wasnt planning on get my hair cut, but a beautiful young lady named Inna asked me if I wanted my hair washed and I figured, why not. Best Decision I ever made! Not only did she wash my hair, but she gave me a remarkable scalp massage too! Best part it was only 5 bucks!!!! Great place

A wonderful haircut. Ive gone several times and have never gotten a cut Im unhappy with. They know how to cut mens hair and they know how to give a fashionable, clean, modern look.

Love going to East Village Barbershop. Been going here for every haircut for 4+ years, and I always love the final product. I’d recommend getting a hair wash when you come in. It’s always the most relaxing part, and my hair feels great after.

I came across East Village Barbershop on my way to another barber and decided to give it a shot. Since then Ive been going back and every time Ive had an amazing haircut.Whether its the free beer, straight razor, or eucalyptus hot hotel, there is something to be said about the quality and service here.As long as live in NY Ill be going to see Ruben and company.

Review β„–71

Amazing experience here, my friend wanted to come here yesterday to get cleaned up and received the best haircut of his life. I didnt even think I need a haircut, or at least I thought, but really hit it off with Ruben. This guy is awesome, from how he interacts with his customers and even folks in the East Village neighborhood. I actually came back today, just to get a haircut by him. By far the best barbershop experience Ive ever had! Ruben and his staff will do what you want, and provide the best suggestion to have you looking your best!

Review β„–72

Nothing wrong with haircut, it just ended up overpriced – I thought I was having a regular hair cut, but ended up paying for a fade and beard trim (I had asked the barber to check the beard line, which he did without saying it would cost ten bucks extra). Maybe I’ve just been lucky with other barbers in the past.

Au
Review β„–73

My favorite place in NYC to get my hair cut. Ruben and his entire team all do a great job, so you can walk in without an appointment and never have to worry about having to wait for the one barber you like. $25 is a steal for the quality and attention to detail you get, and it comes with an (optional) free hair wash and beer. Have recommended to all of my friends.

Ta
Review β„–74

Absolutely amazing place... Once you enter its a warm welcome, Ruben (The Hulk) is funny and is probably the best barber I have had the privilege of meeting in a very long time! Besides the amazing haircut, you will get a sarcastic-comedy show and a ice cold beer! What else can one ask for! Been coming here for more than 2 years and definitely dont need to find another place anytime in the future!!!!!5 stars is not enough, nor fair to Ruben and his shop!

Review β„–75

Review β„–76

I moved to East Village, Manhattan about 7 months ago, when I first moved into the building next door, Ruben greeted me and my roommate as we moved our things into our building. Right away, with his witty jokes and hospitality made me want to stop by for a haircut. Besides being right next door, this shop is super easy to find for anyone looking for a great haircut in NYC. Ruben never forgets a face, and every time I leave my apartment, he and his staff take the time to wave or say hello. The staff are professional, fast, and deliver fantastic cuts, but the biggest thing that stands out is humor. Anytime I stop in for a haircut or a quick hello, I leave laughing. If you are guy looking for a great cut in NYC, come by for a beer and a great cut!

Review β„–77

Needed a new barber and found this place on yelp. Five stars is not enough. They treat you well with a nice cold beer while you wait. Hair washes are not just hair washes, its a full on scalp and shoulder massage. Thats before even getting to the haircut. Never been disappointed with their work. Stop by and theyll make you sexy, without fail.

Review β„–78

I found this place while walking a couple English bulldogs down the block. Ruben, the owner, stopped me immediately to ask about the dogs. We casualty chatted for a bit and I quickly noticed that he and this place are super laid back. Ruben loves his customers and every time Im here, its obvious they love him back.Ive had my hair cut by 4 different barbers now. All experiences have been excellent. Theres an unusual paradox that occurs when I get my hair cut here. Normally, my hair cuts look good for about three weeks. Then they lose their shape/form. The cuts I get here keep their form for over 1 month. Which means I dont have to get my haircut as often. So they lose business because their cuts are so good and last so long (just kidding, they stay busy). Definitely recommend these guys.PS: they give you a free Corona every time you walk in.

Great place for a great haircut, my friend Ruben always does a terrific job!

Review β„–80

My girlfriend and I went to eat across the street and I really needed a hair cut so we decide to give this place a shot and it was a best decision I made! This place already had a really good review and after the haircut the results really held up. Would I recommend this place to anyone looking for a fresh cut? Heck yes! The people here are really friendly and the service is great! This is my third time here and each time Ive been here the hair cuts have been A+. Looking for a new spot for your cut? This is the place.

Review β„–81

Ruben is absolutely fantastic. First off,his devotion and love for what he does show each time that I see him;this is true not only for myself, but for all his clients. It is also amazing how Ruben remembers each clients desires for their cut. In terms of the actual haircut, all I can say is that when I leave from his chair, the haircut is flawless and amazing ; the same holds true for my beard. Beyond that, the barbershop is friendly and welcoming and Ruben is an awesome and funny guy. I am moving in a few weeks and my first google map search was for how far my new place is from the East Village Barbershop. It is also amazing how Ruben stayed late to give me a haircut because he knew that I would be having surgery the next day. If you are looking for a true master at what he does and want to look great, go to EVB and ask for Ruben. Trust me, you will thank me.

5 star recommended!!!Been with them for a while, great customer service, amazing skills, talented staff, friendly environment. It takes me a while to get to their shop but totally worth it. They offer free ice beer which is 🎁😁, more to that, after a fresh haircut they always cover the hot towel around ones head, when they open the towel....I always feel like a brand new person, walking out that barbershop with confidence lol.

East Village Barbershop is great. Found this place on a whim on Google, and have been coming back for almost two years.

Review β„–87

The best feeling in the world is walking out of this barber shop after getting a flawless cut. I have referred everyone I know to this particular shop. It is one of a kind. My friend and I had just moved into the east village just a couple of months ago and we were on the hunt for a barber shop. We walked around the area checking out multiple barber shops. To see if they were good, we waited around until finished customers came out. After seeing a few shops that did not meet our standards (which are extremely high), we finally spotted the East Village Barbershop. This place was shelling customers out with the freshest cuts I have ever seen. I have been coming back and sending each and every one of my friends to this shop since. Ruben and his team of barbers treat their customers like family as each and every cut is carried out with genuine integrity and flawless work. I will be coming back to this barbershop for the rest of my life.

I have gone to probably every barber in the east village over the last 10 years and I finally found an east village barber shop that I can go to now for the best hair cut. Its been over a year now getting Ruben to cut my hair and I only go here. This is the perfect cut... I dont ever post reviews but had to for Ruben as this barber shop is gem. I cant believe how affordable this is on top of it. Its a must in NYC.

Found the barbershop on Instagram and saw the amazing work that the owner does cutting hair in the photos posted online. Ruben the owner and my main barber is super cool and easy to get along with. Its all about the quality of the hair cut and service hospitality you are greeted with here. Everyone is welcoming and you can kick back and enjoy yourself a beer as you get your fresh cut. Highly recommend coming here, its worth the price for what you get here at east village barbershop so go check it out whenever you get the chance.

Fantastic hair cuts; my friends always compliment my hair after a cut from East Village Barbershop. Friendly whimsical barbers cutting hair in clean classic chairs. Ive lived in the EV for over 10 years and have changed barbers at least 15 times because Im particular. These guys know whats up.
