I can’t say enough good things about this place and these fine young men running it. I have never received a more relaxing and refreshing shave. Just come in here and try it, I suggest! Truly fantastic.

Im a black male with curly hair - I always worry about finding a barber that can work with my texture. The barbers at Elegant G were absolutely amazing. I was in and out within 20 minutes and had an absolutely phenomenal experience. The shop is clean, looks great, and they even have some alcohol for those who enjoy something to drink with a cut.I will definitely be returning and recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for barbers that can work with diverse hair.

Ive been coming to Elegant G for a few months now. Ive tried a number of barbershops across the city ranging from $20 - $50 per haircut and finally settled on this place. Haircuts are ~$30 before tip and I feel like the quality is on par with haircuts Ive gotten for over $50.Ive had good experiences with most of the barbers but Sam in particular is great! Highly recommend.

So as a black man I can’t just have anyone touch my hair but I found Elegant G barbershop and looked at the reviews and saw there were several brothers who gave their stamp of approval. I’ve been there twice and they haven’t disappointed! It’s safe to say this gonna be my spot as long as I’m in Manhattan.

I first started coming to Elegant G in the summer or 2018 when I moved to NYC for an internship. I was looking for a barber who specialized in cutting Asian hair and saw that Sam (the owner) was highly recommended. Sam hasn’t disappointed in the 3 years I’ve been coming to him. He is extremely consistent and will also listen to what you want. If you’re unsure, he is happy to give recommendations. I am very happy with the quality of Sam’s cuts, and I think the price is well worth it. Honestly, Sam could be charging a lot more than he does now. He is also just a really nice, personable human being. I highly recommend him, especially if you’re looking for someone who is good with Asian hair.

This is my favorite barbershop. Ive been here for 5 years, and always happy to see my haircut fresh and as I want. Very recommended.

I have been coming to Sam at Elegant G Barbershop for 6 years now. He is the only person I will let cut my hair. I have thick hair with several cowlicks and he always manages to get the job done. But it’s not just Sam - every customer I sit next to is always complimentary of their barber and leaves with a smile on their face. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better barbershop in the city!

I came to Elegant G after moving into the neighborhood 2 years ago. This was the second or third barbershop I visited and immediately became my go-to place. Service is excellent and very professional with competitive prices. Sam is really dedicated to his job and makes sure every customer has a great experience. Even though I moved out of the neighborhood I will still be coming here to get my hair cut!

I’ve been coming to this place for 2+ years. Sam is an amazing barber. He takes his time to hear and understand my requests. I’m a very picky person but Sam has been extremely helpful.Sam and his team are not afraid to share their suggestions. This is very important also to hear perspectives from professionals like the team here.Given that I work in the corporate business environment, I always aim to look sharp and clean. Sam and team have never disappointed.Looking forward to seeing Sam and team every time I need a haircut. I would not trust anyone else. If you’re looking for a new barber, definitely give this place a shot. Highly recommend!!

I have been paying way too much money, for way too long, for a haircut in NYC that was just fine...until I found Elegant G barber shop! You get as much attention and detail to your needs as the other pricier barber shops. Sam is my go to barber. He’s highly proficient, knowledgeable about all hair types and just over all a pleasant person to have a conversation with. He’s quick to figure out what you want in a haircut. I’ve had haircuts with other barbers when Sam wasn’t around and I can honestly say that I’ve had just as good of an experience, so the options are there. I’m moving out of state soon, so I’m dreading having to search for a barber as good as Sam. I highly recommend checking this spot out. Tell Sam that Daniel sent you!

Review №11

When I moved to NYC, I tried a few barbers in the area, but Elegant was the best hands down. Haircuts are super consistent, and they always give me exactly what I ask for. I’ve been coming here for 4+ years now, and the service has remained top notch. After a trip or vacation, no matter what, Elegant is the first spot I hit.

Review №12

Easily the best barber in NYC. Went to several different barbers before coming here for the past seven years. Attention to fine detail and most importantly consistent every time. Come here once and you’ll never need another barber in NY again. Highly recommended!

Sam always gives me the perfect haircut. I have been going here since I moved to Manhattan and it’s by far the best cut I’ve gotten. The shop is also clean and a friendly environment.

Incredible cut every time. Perfect blend and styling like you are at a salon, but with barber shop prices. The owner Sam is amazing, but have also had great cuts from 3 different barbers. You can’t go wrong with anyone! Stu

I have been coming to elegant barbershop for 5 years now. I would never trust any other barber shop for my hair in the NYC area. The service is professional, clean, and always at the highest standard. I have never received a haircut that I did not absolutely love. I recommend coming to elegant for all of my friends and family!!!

Best barber shop in the city. Sam listens to what you want and then advises you on how it could be better. He’s attentive and spends quality time with every customer regardless of how much or how little hair you have!

Ive been coming to Elegant G for years and its still the best barbershop Ive been to. All the barbers in the shop are great. They will help teach you about your hair and give you great tips. I moved to Brooklyn last year and still come back at least once a month since theyre the best.

Review №18

The only place in NYC where Ive had a good experience thus far with barbers who know how to cut Asian hair. Most of the time, Ive tried other highly rated barbers who have made a mess of my cut because they dont know how to cut asian hair. This is the one place Ive found thus far that does my hair on point, every time. They unfortunately do not take appointments (walk ins only), but Ive yet to have had a bad experience with any of the barbers on duty that day. Pop by when you have time (weekdays are less crowded) and I am pretty sure you wont be disappointed. (Mens standard haircut are around $28 for reference)

Review №19

The best and most consistent barbershop in the neighborhood and beyond. I have been coming here for 4+ years and I think they’ve raised prices maybe once. $28 for a standard men’s and they always take their time to make sure it’s done right. Can’t recommend Sam and the Elegant G team enough.

Review №20

I’ve been coming to Elegant G since the day the opened. Anytime someone new moves to the neighborhood I always recommend them to go here for a haircut.If it’s any indication of how great they are at their craft, I just drove 1 hour and 45 minutes from my other residence just to get a haircut, and I’m driving back right after. I could have easily went somewhere local, but I’m big on quality and loyalty.

Review №23

I’ve been a customer here since they opened their doors. I’ve known Sam (the owner), his wife Laura, and his staff quite well. They are all absolutely lovely people, and it’s been nothing but a pleasure coming here for haircuts all of these years. I highly recommend Elegant G if you live in the neighborhood or anywhere in NYC. Extremely reasonable pricing, professional, and highly experienced in their craft. 5 stars all the way!

Review №24

Very friendly staff but the haircut was really disappointing. I came in because I read a review that mentioned that this place would acceptable for Asian hair but the final result was a let down. I would only recommend if you have a very simple haircut (like a buzz cut) as it is a reasonable price ($28).Response to owner:1. That is untrue. I had been growing my hair out for over two months prior to coming. I’ve had the same hairstyle for years and that is the reason why I was the one to mention during the cut that it was too short.

Having just moved into NYC, I was looking for a barber in the area and came to Elegant G a few weeks ago after reading the reviews. Sam cut my hair and did a great job; he was professional while keeping the mood light, and the cut was just the way I wanted it. I’ll be coming back!

The owner Sam is very knowledgeable in hair styling. He provided professional suggestions that I didnt know I needed. He Took his time on my first cut and made sure it was the best fit for me. After since he remembered what to do with my hair in every detail and finished my cut in under 20 minutes, which saved me a lot of time. He can hold a nice conversation but never talks too much. 100% recommendes

I needed a haircut while on vacation and happened to walk by the Elegant G Barber Shop. I was given an outstanding haircut and had great conversation with my barber Faruk. My family even had some refreshments in there while they waited for me. It was a great enough experience for me to post a review. Thanks!

This place is 100% the best barber shop you’ll find in the Murray Hill/Kips Bay Area. The barbers are all very solid and the vibe is really enjoyable. I’ve recommended this shop to ten of my friends and they’ve all loved the experience. 10/10

Review №40

Ive been coming to Sams shop for the last 5 years, starting only a couple months after he first opened. In fact, Ive lived in Manhattan for 10+ years, and this is the only shop Ive come back to even after every time Ive moved. In the past Ive usually waited for Sam, but he personally knows and hires most of his team, and Ive never had an issue with any of his barbers. His team, like him, is mostly Asians from Eastern Europe. Given that, Ive found that theyre probably one of the best in the city at working with thick Asian hair. Although Ive rarely had a problem, especially after the first 1-2 trips with the same barber, if you voice your concern in the seat they (and Sam personally) will make sure you leave happy.

Review №42

I have been coming to this barbershop for more than 5 years. In my 10 years living in NYC, this is hands down the best. Asian hair can be hard to cut, and apparently mine is tougher than the “norm.” But all the barbers here do a great job. Many many thanks to Sam for always taking care of me, and for having done so for many many years.

Have been going to elegant g for about 2 years now. Initially found them from the great reviews. Have used multiple different barbers: Vito (moved out of state), Farukh, Tim and Sam (owner).Can say that Sam really runs a great shop in making sure the barbers that work there know what they’re doing, have attention to detail and provide great service. That being said, my haircuts have been amazing. Price is extremely reasonable. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a barber.

Ive been a customer for years now, but more than ever I want to highlight how great is this establishment.As we all know, the pandemic has really hit small businesses hard. Sam has built his business with his family throughout these years through hard work, quality cuts, and friendly service.Now that NYC is slowly opening up, dont forget to visit Sam. Dont forget all those times his fresh cuts got you through a date or an important meeting. We all know how desperate weve become for a clean cut, and Elegant G is the only place to get such cuts.Be sure to wear a mask, respect his health and the health of others.
