Been going to Prestige for years since I started working in midtown. Everyone has done an excellent job with my hair. Wash/shampoo always included. Uncle Mike goes above and beyond to give you exactly what youre looking for. Highly recommend.

When you feel good about yourself you radiate positive energy. Nothing makes a man feel better about himself than when he looks his best. For me, the place to go is Prestige Barber shop. After receiving an excellent haircut and a clean shave I am ready to meet anyone. There is nothing better than feeling your best and no place better than Prestige Barber Shop to get you to that place.

Have been bouncing between barbers for the last 2 months due to time and availability. Popped into Prestige and Mike gave me an amazing cut. I went for something a little different, and he nailed it. A little pricier than other cuts, but you get what you pay for. Would recommend.

Prestige Barber Shop has a great line of skin and hair care products brand that can give you the feel of a fresh barber shave without the trip to the barber. Men have been deprived that luxury for years and can now take advantage of the same exclusivity in skin and hair care products as women have enjoyed for years. I think that it is about time men had a place to go and buy products to use that were designed with only men in mind. Prestige Barber Shop has filled that niche perfectly.

Greeted by Michael, aka “Uncle Mike”, and not only did we chat about Brooklyn, Brighton Beach, Miami (Wolfie’s Rascal House), and Knishes, but I walked out with a great haircut! Great scissor cut with proper layering, Uncle Mike knows his stuff. Highly Recommend!

My family went to New York on vacation a few weeks back and we had a blast. One of the more memorable experiences was our visit to Prestige Barber Shop. I wanted to get a feeling of how people lived in New York and decided to get a haircut in a local shop. I was leery at first but it didnt take long until I felt like a local. The haircut was just what I wanted and the banter was so much fun. I kind of feel bad for the barber who cut my hair now that I read some of the racist reviews about his accent and cultural misunderstandings. He was a great guy! The place was just what I was looking for. If I lived in New York I would stop in for haircuts regularly and sometimes just to say hi. Nice people, great service. I knew the price up front and tipped him for his service. I didnt have any problems at all. I sincerely enjoyed my New York barber shop haircut at Prestige and would bet anyone else would too.

This was my go to barbershop when I lived in Midtown East. Excellent service and always leave looking my best. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. I often go back when Im in the area for the cut and to catch up with Sam. This is hands down the best spot to get a haircut in Midtown East.

I am 55 years old and I had a very important meeting coming up. At my age, it is very important to appear as young and healthy as possible. I went to Prestige Barber Shop near me in NYC the day before and got the full treatment. My self-confidence was higher than It has been in years when I went to the meeting. I could really feel the difference.

I went to see my accountant a couple of weeks ago and I had to ask him what he was doing that made him look so good. He told me that he began going to Prestige Barber Shop every two weeks or a haircut and skin conditioning. I must say the guy looked around thirty when he is at least forty-five. I had to try it for myself and I am so glad I did. I received the absolute best haircut ever and a shave that was hot and close. Next time I am starting the skin conditioning.

Uncle Mike knows how to wield his scissors and brush. Great haircut hands down! Get there as fast as you can and look better than ever. Oh yeah, the straight edge hot shaving cream behind the neck is the best!

My go to spot for consistent and great haircuts. I always have Sam (Zion) cut my hair and he does an excellent job. He takes his time to get all of the details and makes sure youre happy with the cut. I have family that are hairstylist, so I have pretty high expectations, but Sam and Prestige meet them all!

My work as a trial attorney in New York has me under the scrutiny of people, especially jurors, in the courtroom at all times. It is important to keep up a professional appearance by wearing a different suit each day of a trial and being very well groomed and looking confident. I trust me appearance to Prestige Barber Shop in midtown east. I go there regularly and Sam keeps up my appearance by neatening my hair and giving me a close shave. In between it is common for me to stop in the morning before court to get traditional wet shaving for an added boost of self confidence. There is nothing better than old school barbers to make you feel invigorated.

My father told me about Prestige Barbers in New York and how they were like the barbers he used to go to years ago. When I went to visit him we both went and got a scissor and razor haircut and a hot wet shave. It was great. Now I go every chance I can get to New York.

Review №22

I moved to the New York area from the Midwest and found that in order to fit in I needed to refresh my whole entire look including my dress and my styling. A colleague knew that I hated getting my haircut in salons and he suggested a place in midtown called Prestige Barber Shop. He told me they still give a straight razor shave and use scissors with great skill but they are also on the cutting edge when it came to contemporary styling. When I went there I pretty much left my hair in the hands of George my barber to give me a look that would be more New York than what I had. He knew exactly what would look the best on me and I was very happy with my new look. When I got back to the office I got some really nice comment

Review №23

Though they are very affordable for a New York haircut, they are pretty uninspired stylists. I came here on a trip trying to avoid paying $75-100 at some of the more highly recommended places, but to be honest I would have been better off just paying. The hack job to my hair was hardly worth the money saved.

I must be in front of people quite often in my profession. It is not always when I expect either. I need to look my best always. That is why I depend on New York barber Prestige Barber shop to keep my appearance at its best always. I never know when someone might stick a microphone in front of me. I visit them at least once a week for a cleanup and a shave so I always have that healthy glow.

Prestige Barber Shop is the only place where I can get my beard trimmed the way I like it. I have had it for years and it needs to be around a quarter inch long and no more. The barbers at Prestige are the only ones I have found that can maintain it the right way. My hair is not a big deal, but they do the best with what I have but it is the beard that really counts.

I first discovered Prestige on E. 53rd when I was out for a walk on my lunch break in Midtown East. I saw this busy NYC barber shop with the sign outside and had to try it. The first day off that I had I went and got a haircut and a wet shave. I was like the places I remembered from when I was younger. Mostly male customers with hot lather and razor shaves. I liked it so much I never went back to my old shop in NJ

Review №31

It was unquestionably the best haircut and shave that I had ever gotten and it all happened one day when I saw this place on East 53rd street called Prestige Barber Shop, I had to check it out. I walked in without an appointment and they took me after a very short wait. I never saw a barber go into such detail cutting my hair. It was followed by the closest shave I have ever received. From that day forward I was never going anywhere else. I now visit Prestige Barber Shop I NYC every couple of weeks.

I needed barber in New York that was opened on Sunday. I had heard about the great service at Prestige Barbers Shop and was pleasantly surprised to find the barber shop had Sunday hours. I got a great haircut and wet shave. A wet shave is something most barbers in New York or anywhere will not even do. I cant wait to go back because I looked and felt so good when I left.

This place is absolutely amazing, in that it offers true expert hair stylists and an overall pleasant atmosphere. Victoria has been cutting my hair for a while now, and she is a true virtuoso in her profession. She has a great sense as to what hair style is most suitable and takes as much time as is necessary in order to achieve the perfect look. I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone!

Where is there a barber shop in Midtown East where you can still get a hot shave with a razor? Prestige Barber Shop is the only place that I know. This is a mens New York barber shop that gives the treatment that a man really wants. A hot wet shave, a great haircut and a refreshing splash of skin conditioner. You will leave this place looking and smelling fantastic. There is no other barber shop in New York like Prestige Barber Shop.

Review №37

I have been a client of Sam at Prestige Barber Shop on E. 53rd for years. I trust him to always give me the best haircut and closest possible shave with a straight razor. When you are in a chair and a man is holding a razor to your neck that is complete trust. I would never patronize another barbershop in midtown NYC or anywhere else for that matter. It does not get any better than Prestige Barber Shop where old school barbers still practice their trade. The barbershop is opened seven days a week for your convenience and still does old fashioned traditional wet shaving. When you go there for the full New York barbershop experience you will not want to go anywhere else either.

Review №38

Fantastic barber shop in midtown east. Sasha, the owner, gives excellent mens haircuts for all styles and lengths of hair. As a customer of two years, I can say without hesitation that his haircuts are spot on. Sasha is a perfectionist and will not let you leave his chair without making sure that every stray hair is clipped and every line is clean. He is particularly good with a straight razor and gives excellent shaves with hot foam. In sum, I highly recommend Presitge.

Never been disappointed coming here, the experience and the haircut is always great. All I told Victoriya is I want it a little shorter and this is how I normally style it and done, she went to work and turned out great. You cant beat the price to quality ratio here. Its never a rush to get you out for the next client. Recommend and will continue to go back.

Prestige Barber Shop really know how to give a real man haircut. They are not there to tell you about the latest fads like the rest of NYC barber shops.

You might get a bit of sarcasm with your haircut in this New York barber shop but after all it is New York. You will also get an awesome haircut from a guy or gal that will remember your name the next time you visit. When you get your haircut here the barber will do a real professional job. I highly recommend the haircuts and shaves at this Midtown NYC barber shop.

I got so tired of going to these hair cutting places that sheer my head like a sheep with no styling whatsoever. They did not use a razor or any skin treatment but charged like a professional salon.

Review №54

Id give this a -10 stars if possible. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. I have no idea what people are thinking if they give this place a good rating. I went in for a haircut and got butchered. The owner didnt listen to what I asked for and just did whatever he wanted. The cut was so bad I ended up cutting it all off at another barbershop the following day. They couldnt fix what he did. At the end of the day its just hair and it will grow back, but to have to pay for 2 haircuts and be stuck with something I didnt want sucks.

Review №57

I was searching for a great men’s haircut from a New York barbershop open on Sundays. It seemed like a lot to ask until a bartender I work with told me about Prestige Barber Shop on East 53rd in midtown that has old school barbers that still use scissors and are probably the only barbershop open seven days per week. That was important to me because I work a regular 9 to 5 job in New Jersey and tend bar in Manhattan on Sunday afternoon which only allows me time on Sunday morning for a haircut. When I first went there I was seated by a barber named George. I explained what I wanted and he went right to work. I got a great haircut and a straight razor shave which I had not had for years. When I left there I went to work with a new attitude that really made my whole day.

I was in New York for couple of days for a trade at the Javitz Center. I stayed overnight as there was a lot of extra time required and. although I reside in New Jersey it would have been exhausting to make the trip back late just to return the following morning. When I did return after the show and I walked in the door my wife could not believe what she saw. She told me I looked like the guy she dated twenty ago expect better. I told her that I went to a place called Prestige Barber shop in Midtown East. I told her that they were a barber shop that gives mens haircuts and shaves really care about the way we look and feel. She told me to go keep going there. It is a little out of the way compared to the Barber shop near me, But well worth the trip.

I finally found a mens NYC barber shop that is opened on Sunday. It is Prestige Barber Shop on 53rd St. I can get a shave and a haircut on my only day off and go back to work on Monday looking great. This is an old school mens barber like I remember from when I was young. I doubt there is another place in NYC like this place. They are professional mens barbers that know what a man wants. They give a wet shave or even a royal shave if you want. They still use scissors and a razor to clean up your neck. A little splash of conditioner and you are feeling like a new man.
