I had a great experience at this shop! Prince was the barber who cut my bob. They were engaged and listened closely to what I wanted. He checked in with me throughout the cut because I told them I had a less than great experience with a stylist recently who cut my bob too short. Really kind person with good customer service. I was super happy with the cut and will definitely be back. Also, the shop just has an overall welcoming and positive vibe! I recommend!!!
Kendra cut my hair this past week, and this is literally the best haircut I have ever received.I am trans so finding a salon or barber shop to cut my hair short is incredibly difficult. For the last 4 years I have been doing it at home, too afraid of the dreaded layered bob or pixie cut. I decided to check out Hairrari and I am overjoyed at the result. The staff were amazingly kind and great to talk to after a year of quarantine. The shop is small and clean, so it was nice and cozy. The shop music was great. Kendra continuously checked in with me to ask what direction I wanted to take the hair cut, and even gave me a shape up.I even bought some of their styling wax, and while it cost more than the store bought stuff, it will last me years, and is the perfect quality.For the first time ever Im excited for my hair to grow out so I can get it cut again.10/10 worth EVERY penny.
Hairrari is the best. Ive been going there for the past couple years and all the stylists Ive seen have been great. Out of the dozens of haircuts Ive had at the East Village location, there was only one time I was less than satisfied (probably due to a miscommunication on my part). The owner set up a consultation for me the next day to make it right. This is the kind of responsiveness that keeps clients happy and returning. Thank you!
Cute salon, friendly staff and great location!They’re very good with their covid-19 practises! There’s was only one other client there and right before the end of my appointment, the next person was let in.MAGGIE is the queen! She gave me such a fresh haircut I’m obsessed. I’ve been going to Maggie years ago at another salon, and I’m so happy she’s at Hairrari now!
I saw Dustin for color in the East Village location, and I cannot rave enough. The Hairrari space very clean and safe -- with a super welcoming (and cute!) receptionist taking your temperature before entering, and everyone in the store wearing masks the entire process. Though I did not personally get a cut in this visit, I was impressed by how seamlessly the barbers handled helping their customers leave on their mask while trimming around the ears. The staff was friendly and easy to talk to.Dustin did an amazing job talking with me about my hair history, finding out exactly my desired color and educating me on the proper upkeep after my lightening. I really appreciated how quick and efficient he was: in the past when I had my hair bleached, the colorist was not nearly as quick, and I feel that artificially drove up the price. I felt the Hairrari price was reasonable and incredibly worth it. Dustin was so sweet, fast and delivered a beautiful color with exactly the tones I wanted. I will definitely be back!!
I had a bad haircut experience about 4 years ago and have been very nervous about having someone I dont know touch my hair. I did some research and Hairrari seemed like a great fit. I made a last minute appointment for a same day cut with Chloe and I cannot tell you how happy I am. Chloe is new to Hairrari but its apparent that she has been cutting hair for a long time. She was so friendly and kind, and took the time to go through the references I brought to get a clear idea of what I was looking for. Throughout the haircut she described what she was doing, made sure I was comfortable, and gave me styling tips. Chloe is now my go-to stylist and I feel so lucky to have found her!
Amazing place, so glad I found them! Super welcoming shop and friendly staff, catering to a wide range of people/styles. Maggie did an incredible job cutting my long-ish curly hair, Ill definitely be back to see her again. Thank you!
In the middle of my work day an important meeting was sprung upon me. I needed a haircut desperately. I came upon Hairrari on a quick google search and decided to give them a call. I was greeted professionally and warm. I was given an appointment for the same day. I came in and was greeted with the same professionalism and warmth. Covid measures are taken seriously through out the salon. Dylan cut my hair, he was thorough, listen to my needs and was able to deliver what I needed and wanted. My hair looked great and I felt great about myself. The price for the service is fair and competitive to other places in the area. I was able to go back to my office, change and be ready for my meeting looking great! Thank you Dylan and Hairrari for an amazing experience and for making my day better! You all are amazing!!
I came in very nervous after a year and a half of buzzing my hair at home, and I clearly made Dylan nervous too. I also received two really important phone calls while I was supposed to be in the chair and kept interrupting him, I was definitely not a great client. Dylan was very patient and kind, but didnt lie or cover the fact that I wasnt treating him properly, which I appreciate. He offered to reschedule, but I dont get a lot of chances to get out by myself. On top of all that, I freaking love the cut he did on me, it was really subtle and its washed out great. Great experience.
This place is fantastic! I’ve seen Ellie twice and she is so nice and helpful. I absolutely love what she’s done for my hair! So glad to find this little gem.
This is the best barbershop Ive been too! They are so welcoming, and the staff goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The positive energy was contagious and l left feeling empowered. Its obvious that the stylists really care about their clients. Ellie did my makeover and I cant recommend her enough!
This was the first time i’ve gone to get a cut and left with *exactly* what I was looking for. Steve Kim was so kind and professional, and did an amazing job understanding my vision and making it happen! definitely one of the most inclusive and welcoming shops i’ve been to. stay groovy !
First I would like to say that Steve was very respectful of my pronouns, and he was also an easy going easy to talk to stylist. He listened to my wants and future goals with my hair, and performed magic on my hair that has many MANY cowlicks. I felt very comfortable throughout the entire appointment, and I left with an amazing, easy to work with short style. Thank you Steve and Hairrari I will be back!
I’ve been seeing Magda for ~9 years, and followed her here even though I now live in Park Slope. She’s the best, and leads a terrific team (warm + highly competent). I highly recommend this place for a haircut!
I came in today to retouch my mullet, and Kendra exceeded my expectations. They added their own lil artistic vision to it and I feel more badass than ever! Not to mention what a smoothing and get conversationalist they are. Thank yall! Keep up the great work.
I think weve all had that first short haircut experience of going to your moms hair dresser and ending up with a complete Karen cut instead of the cool photo you showed her. You wont have that here. Not only do they give great haircuts, but they provide a much needed space for LGBT people to get the hair theyve always wanted. If youre tired of stylists trying to give you a cute pixie cut when all you want is badass short hair, this is the place to go 🔥
I got a balayage done by Dustin & had a wonderful experience. I really appreciated he took the time to ask questions to get exactly what I wanted. I even had some dyed blonde hair he blended into the look. Very talented and kind. Im so pleased with the results.
I enjoy the service given by everyone at Hairrari. I highly recommend going there for your next cut. Always very professional and clean, its the best around! Dylan in particular was excellent.
This is a great place. Our family of 4 has been coming here since 2018.Magda/The Owner knows how to run a good business with great attention to customer service.Highly recommend Dylan/The New Addition to the Team.
It was an incredible experience with Maggie!!!! Best haircut ever! See you soon! Grazie!
I have been here many times over the years, but due to the pandemic, it has been over a year since my last visit. I booked with Ellie for the first time to get rid of a mohawk. She did an excellent job and was very communicative about how she was going to go about it. She took into consideration what I wanted and styled my hair with a product I will probably buy in the future. I walked out of the shop feeling great! I will definitely be back. As a queer, gnc person, this is the only place I have ever felt completely comfortable getting my hair cut. Thank you! A million times, thank you.
Maggie gave me my first REAL haircut since the covid buzz I self-administered. I love what she did, I now have a new lease on life. Maggie is fantastic and wonderfully fun to get a trim from. I will also mention this Hairrari location was super clean, efficient, and friendly as heck. Will definitely be back.
Maggie cut my hair twice in the last two months: she is terrific, experienced, quick, and understands your style very well. Great experience that I will certainly repeat and recommend to everyone! Wonderful addition to the salon!
I want to leave a review for Jordy, who is a new colorist at Hairrari in East Village. My hair was a mess from pandemic box dye and a washed out dye job. Jordy saw through all this and did miracles with my hair. A couple of days before she contacted me to hear about what I was looking for, leaving several messages until she reached me. Jordy did a shadow root in a beautiful plum color and were able to bleach my hair and dye it into a bright red. Strangely enough my hair does not feel damaged after. It is easily the best dye job I ever had. I then got a haircut by Maggie, who was equally great. We had a discussion about masculine and feminine haircuts, and how hairstylists are taught binary thinking throughout their training. Maggie was able to inject enough masculine cutting techniques into my hair for me to feel comfortable, which almost never happens. The whole hair salon has a great atmosphere, and customers younger and older were treated equal and left happy. Thank you for your professionalism and showing how the work is done.
The best barber shop I’ve ever been to. the atmosphere is friendly, queer af and welcoming. Super reasonable prices too!! Go see Sydney if you can they’re wonderful!!!
I love it here. I always get the best haircuts from the nicest people - Hairrari is an absolute gem!
I have a hard time feeling comfortable while getting a haircut. I dont feel girly enough for the typical salon or manly enough for barber shops, but I can be exactly who I am and ask for exactly what I want at Hairrari. If you want a chill place with no judgement to get a killer haircut, check this place out.
I had my haircut by Maggie last weekend and I still can’t believe how great it looks. I tried cutting my own hair at home to avoid crowded places and it turned out terribly. Maggie did an outstanding job with everything: fixing my failed experiment, cutting my hair short, blending everything in, just an overall great experience. Also, I felt extremely safe and protected the whole time I was there; you can never be too careful these days. I will definitely recommend this barber shop, and be back for my next haircut.
Looking for a place to get your haircut when youre a curly haired trans-woman isnt impossible but it does feel overwhelming. I promised Id get myself my first big-girl haircut- almost a year ago. My super supportive partner (yes, Im bragging) was kind enough to ask around and we received a recommendation for Hairrari. My stylist Ellie made the experience wonderful. It was super easy to communicate with her. We took a few minutes to really express intention and direction before getting started and she understood exactly what I was looking for. I have a SUPER sensitive scalp and Ellie could tell without a single question made sure to be extra gentle. I felt seen, heard, and understood and most importantly I am REALLY happy with my cut. I think I look real cute now and as it grows in its gonna get better!My experience was a tiny bit magical.Thank you.(This was posted by my partner with permission.)
Best hair cut Ive ever had. Super friendly environment.
Going to a barber is beyond the haircut itself, it is also the experience during and after the cut. The experience at Hairarri is THE best experience NYC has to offer. Being someone who deals with anxiousness when getting a haircut, my stylist Devon made me comfortable the entire time. They frequently asked how I was feeling while also making me feel excited about how the cut was turning out. Devon was also very intricate with detail, making sure everything was exact and for the first time ever my haircut came out exactly how the picture looked. If you are looking for an experience that will follow you long after the cut itself, I demand you come here. You will not get a better experience anywhere else and the staff is incredibly inclusive and sweet to everybody!
This place was amazing. I was here about 3 weeks ago wanting a hair makeover. The owner of the place was the one who cut my hair and she was absolutely amazing and professional. She was very friendly and we talked about everything under the sun. She did an amazing job with my hair and gave me an awesome haircut and also gave me recommendations for products to take home. She knows exactly what shes doing. Since then, Ive gotten so many compliments. I will be returning for a trim sometime this month!!!. Please do not hesitate to come here. It is Worth every penny!!
I had Dylan cut my hair. I was thrilled with my cut and his overall service. I highly recommend him!
All sassy pixie. All day.Getting so many compliments on my super cutie new style, and my girlfriend’s bold platinum color (2 process) is SO FRESH.Magda and her team know what’s up!
I just had the most amazing experience with Veronica and all of the staff I interacted with. Veronica took what I said I wanted and made it look a million times cooler than I could have even imagined. Most hairstylists i’ve experienced haven’t fulfilled the image I’ve had in mind but Veronica understood exactly what I wanted and more. Not only that, but it is such a queer friendly space. They asked my pronouns and respected them— making me feel comfortable and welcomed. Please don’t hesitate to come here! I am so so happy with my experience!
I love love my haircut, it was my first time getting a short haircut and a friend Recommended this salon. When i got there I met Maggie she is super dope she did a great job with my hair and i can now say I have a personal barber!
I made an appointment with Nick at Hairrari Barber-East Village and had mission-- to chop off 12 inches of hair! The staff met me at the door and greeted me with smiles, face masks and a forehead thermometer. I really appreciate the precautions the shop took to maintain a safe indoor environment.Nick and I got to work fast, where the only time I took off my face mask was when he asked to see my full face to get a good idea of my ideal haircut. I absolutely appreciate a professional using his understanding of face shapes to pinpoint a hair style that would most flatter mine.Nick asked lots of questions about what I wanted, and I could tell that he was listening. The hair cut that we came up with was a first in execution for him, but he was extra careful with the scissors and took lots of dedicated direction from his boss. I wasnt ever nervous about the scissors snips, because the guy making them was intent on doing a good job.Nick was friendly and honest. He even asked if I preferred to be called Kim or Kimberly, which was nice to hear, since most people take it upon themselves to use the shortened version of my name. This further highlighted Nicks goal of creating a comfortable appointment for me and catering to my wants and needs.And my hair turned out great! I am so glad to have discovered Hairairi Barber- East Village. Its a small style shop thats big on friendly, helpful folks who make it their mission to make others look their greatest.
Dustin has been cutting and coloring my hair for almost 10 years now. Hes amazing at both, but especially color/bleach. Ive had it pretty much every color of the rainbow from neon pink to almost black and no matter what he takes the time to make sure the damage is minimal and that I always have soft shiny hair at the end of the day. In the last year Ive also developed a bit of an allergy to color, so he takes extra care to make sure to prevent any reaction.Hairrari as a salon is also really fun, all the staff there are friendly and its a welcoming space. Im also impressed by the covid safety precautions theyve taken and was definitely comfortable getting my color done there this month.
I gave Steve weird and confusing guidance and he gave me a perfect haircut! Thanks for making me cute again!
The place is really welcoming, Maggie has been really nice professional and funny! She did a great job for sure Ill go back again!
Friendly, great haircut. Bit pricey
I got my first pixie cut from Maia and she did an excellent job! She made me feel very comfortable and gave me exactly the cut I wanted! I highly recommend.
Ellie has been cutting my hair for years and I am so happy she now has a home at Hairrari in the East Village! Ive been going to her for my fades (including skin fades) and even recently when I have been growing my hair out longer she has done amazing. Did I mention that shes so fun to chat with too? Ive recommended her to so many of my friends and they keep going back!We love Ellie!!!!
Stevie did an excellent job on my fade and trim. The shop is great too in a great location. Would go again, 10/10.
After getting my haircut from Stevie I will never go to another person. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and helped me look as queer as I feel. Booking Stevie is a MUST.
This has been my hair home for two years now and they’re just fantastic!!
Maggie gave me a shaggy bob and it turned out just as I imagined! I highly recommend her, she’s the best.
Stevie consistently gives me the haircut I didn’t know I needed. Rad human, incredibly talented, and a genuine joy to hang out with while you get your hair game on. I feel beautiful and handsome and I can’t stop staring at my head. *chefs kiss*
If you find yourself in need of some swagger, make an appt w/ Garrick at HAIRRARI in the East Village stat! He knows what hes doing without hesitation. I look forward to going back every time.
The best haircut in town
Safe, comfortable, environment for LBGT peeps - the stylists are warm and inviting
Honestly it’s a nice place and atmosphere but i asked to cut my split ends only and they cut much more than that so i left unsatisfied and lost more than 3 months worth of hair growth
Nick gave me a great haircut. I gave a pretty confusing description of what I wanted but left with exactly my ideal haircut—super good listener. Also, the store is taking a bunch of precautions and it felt safe!
Dustin is amazing!!! I would follow him anywhere to get my hair done! He does such beautiful color! Love love love his work!
The hairdressers here really do a fantastic job. My hair is a little problematic, but they still gave me the look I asked for flawlessly. Ive been going to them for 3 years now. Would definitely recommend!
This place is fantastic, a cozy and clean salon that posts profiles of all their stylists so you can really get someone who knows your type of hair.I picked saw Maia since she’s great with curly hair, and my haircut came out great! She is super patient, took her time, and asked a lot of styling questions so she can can get the cut exactly how you want it. She definitely knows her stuff, and I’ll be coming back here for a while!
I took my 12 yo daughter, V, to see Sarah this Saturday. V wanted to cut her long hair into a pixie cut. Sarah was amazing, she took the time to speak to me and V, analyze her hair, and we discussed what could and could not be done. V is so happy with her cut! She washed it last night and it just fell back into place without any styling. Sarah is amazing. We’ll be back for our trim :)
This is the BEST place to get your hair cut in the city, I made an appointment with Stevie and he gave me exactly what I wanted. I won’t go anywhere else 🤠
LOVE hairrari! Queer friendly and fabulous, our barber Ellie is the best!
The staff was just as awesome as my haircut ☺
Thank you Devon for cleaning up my overgrown quarantine hair....Kind, patient, and fun!
It’s a wonderful salon. I had some complicated requests with my hair because I’m still figuring it out myself but Sydney did a great job. I love it. Definitely worth the trip.
Great, small two-room salon, with friendly staff and affordable prices. I’ve only seen Stevie and recommend her very, very highly. She’s got a vision for your head (so important), energy to burn, interesting convos, and loads of warmth. But it’s all about the cut and I’ve paid so much more for so much less at other places. This is my go-to now.
I received a haircut and shampoo from Daniel Braaten. The haircut, I must say, was exceptional and near perfect. Daniel and everyone at Hairrari are friendly and treat their customers very well. The setting itself was very nice, with all the necessary amenities (seating, reading material, candy, etc) provided for the customers looking to get a great and affordable (for the east village) haircut. After coming here, you will forward to getting another haircut at Hairrari.
I cannot say enough good things about Hairrari. Specifically Nancy, but honestly everyone there is so kind and welcoming. I love the extremely queer friendly/ gender neutral atmosphere in the space. I usually feel very out of place in salons and barbershops being very androgynous, but I feel totally at home at Hairrari. Ok, back to Nancy. She is INCREDIBLY talented and friendly. I genuinely enjoy going to get my haircut. I normally go to a barber for my clipper work and a stylist to cut the top of my hair, but now I actually found someone who can DO IT ALL!!!!! I am an hour away but gladly go in to get my cut from Nancy!! I highly recommend!!!!
Decided to try out this place after having bad experiences at other places. Was extremely nervous since my hair is hard to control and make it look good but Elisa was absolutely incredible and knew exactly what to do for my hair type. Definitely will be back ASAP
Love this place, been here twice already and got the best haircuts Ive ever had. Its hard for me to gauge price bc Im so used to the cheaper cuts in Queens (which arent bad) but I love going here and knowing Im going to leave liking what I have. I used to go to Dramatics, but I was constantly irked by the way hair stylists like to manipulate you into liking your haircut by saying how much they like it and you feel like you have to agree until you leave and realize youre not that into it.The hair stylists at Hairrari know what theyre doing and make sure youre happy with your cut, and that youre comfortable and completely satisfied.
Ive been to a number of Hairraris stylists, and theyve all been phenomenal. I have a curly undercut, and Ive never found a place that cuts it so consistently well.Hairrari is an inviting, accepting space with great people and great haircuts. Definitely check it out.(s/o to Sara, Stormy, Morgan, and Magda 🙌)
Been going to Maria at the Bushwick location for about 8 months. It’s always a great time. Always a great cut. Always a great conversation. Everyone at the shop as been incredibly personable and professional. Not one critique or negative comment from this guy. They do some really unique cuts as well as traditional. Not a damn thing they can’t handle.
Sara gave me the best haircut Ive ever had. She is the most perfectionist human being I have ever met. She literally wouldnt let me leave without my hair being perfect and easy to style. I live on the West Coast now but will have to plan a trip back to NYC for my next haircut!
Friendly family atmosphere with some great cuts. A little pricey for the time spent, but would go again. Booking online is easy.
Great vibe, great location, great staff. Magda did an amazing job, I was nervous to cut all my hair off. She listened to my vision and created a perfect cut for my hair texture. My boyfriend loved it so much he had her cut his hair too! Hes rarely impressed but hes been raving about Hairrari to all of his friends. Will definitely be back soon! Thanks so much Magda!
Great experience and an amazing cut!
I had my hair cut here a month ago and all I can say is I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! Magda is so fantastic. I showed her a couple of hair photos that I liked and she then took her time to look at my face shape and the way my hair fell naturally and came up with a great cut that was like the photos, but made for my face. That is what a true professional should do. The NYC shop is cozy and the other stylists were so friendly. I would highly recommend any man or woman to come here - you will not regret the attention to detail and the price is perfect.
Really great and friendly place with excellent customer care. I have been really happy with the haircuts Ive gotten for many years. Excellent stylists.
Morgan is great! Ive been going to her for about two years and shes never given me a bad cut. She also trims my beard and keeps me looking fresh. The entire staff is great and the shop is super relaxed. Im so glad I found them - Ill never go anywhere else in the city!
Never had a chance to enjoy the experience. I called because I was running late and was told that after 10 minutes past the appointment that they wouldnt be able to see me. Got there at 15 past and they wouldnt see me, said that everyone was busy but when I checked online on their website there was a 6pm slot open which I asked to be slipped into but they said it was booked. Tried to offer a time for the next day but I was so put off by their customer service that I have no interest in giving them my money.I will be the first to admit I was late but as a new customer, it would have been nice to show more hospitality. Theyre certainly not starved for business so it wont be any hair off their heads but I wont reccomend them to anyone anytime soon.
Great haircut!
Sydney gave me a great cut along with some great conversation! This was my first time getting my haircut short by someone who wasnt my mom so I was nervous at first, but Sydney was perfectly chill and explained everything! Thanks for the great cut!
I started getting my hair cut here about two years ago by Morgan. The cuts are always great and the staff is always polite. Everyone that works there are friendly and attentive.
As fleabag said: hair is everything. Thank you Stevie for the best haircut of my life!
Great Barbershop! VERONICA is fantastic, have been going to her for yearss (to the point she now trims my grays 😩). Check her out, she does both guys, gals, short or long you name it! She’s the best!
I first walked into Hairrari in their first few weeks after opening. I havent gotten my hair cut elsewhere since. That was 3 years ago. Magda, who started it, is a brilliant hairdresser. Worth booking online with her directly even if you have to wait a few weeks for an appointment. Also Morgan is great. Such a pleasant group, fun music, free drinks, and most importantly great haircuts.
Maia gave me the most amazing haircut today!! She did exactly what I asked and it came out absolutely perfect!! So grateful I found this place!!
I love this barber shop. The people here are super nice and attentive. Youll have to go to their website to make an appointment, if youre going to be late you can call them to let them know and they are LGBTQ friendly which makes me feel safe.
Incredible quality of hair cut, welcoming environment, and wants to genuinely take care of you
Ask for Andrea! This shop is so awesome and the stylist are so talented. Never have I had such a detailed haircut. The atmosphere is super relaxed, they are serious about their cuts. Andrea gave me the best fade EVER! There are many barber shops in the East Village, and Ive tried most of them. Hairrari is now my favorite.
Hairrari is awesome: talented stylists and a very chill vibe. I usually go to Kel who takes such care with each haircut and has such enthusiasm for their career.Update: I’ve since had a few people at this shop cut my hair and they are all great!
I am really happy with my haircut, Veronica did an awesome job, Ill definitely be going there more often 👍
I went here and left slightly disappointed. The staff was nice and attentive and the woman that cut my hair seemed skilled, but she didn’t have a round brush, which meant she couldn’t give me the cut I needed. As a guy that likes to style my hair with a blow dryer, I was a bit frustrated because we weren’t able to blow out my hair the way I like it in order to check that the cut worked for my style. This all because none of the stylists had a round brush. When I styled my hair once I got home, the volume distribution was a bit off and it didn’t look too great. My advice: don’t come here if you have a slightly more complicated men’s cut.
It feels so meaningful to go into a queer space and get a haircut that is creative, queer, and beautiful. Truly a one of a kind place with really friendly staff
This place is great! Every haircut Ive gotten here has exceeding my expectations. Ive tried some of the other good barbers around the city and found them to be hit or miss. Not the case here. Hairrari never disappoints and they always take the time to get the details just right.
Quick and reliable service prices were not too bad either only had to wait less than 5 minutes
Morgan cut my hair and was super helpful and did a really great job. The store itself is a little too small, but the staff were all pleasant and welcoming.
Great place.Nice people.Professional staff.Highly recommendSpecial thanks to Magda,Simply the best.
Made an appointment online based on positive reviews, was not disappointed. Everyone was very friendly and Aston was great. Was more expensive than Im used to, but this was also my first cut in the city so I cant compare.
Ive been to the Brooklyn locations and this new joint is just as good. They take their time and give you what you want. And if you dont know what you want, theyll give you what you need! I got a sexy summer haircut by Magda. Im making heads turn so often, everybody in the citys getting whiplash.
I’m rarely happy about my haircut but elisa here ( I think) did a very good job.
