I was a walk-in appointment and was taken care of by Marco. From the beginning, he was professional and showed a genuine interest in giving me the exact haircut I wanted and having a good experience at the shop. He texted me a couple days before to confirm the appointment and clarify that it was at the pop-up location. When I entered, he offered me water and spent a good amount of time listening to what I wanted and never once interrupted me. He then offered some suggestions based on his expertise. When he started the haircut, he was very friendly and personable so chatting with him was easy and the conversation flowed naturally. He also never lost focus while cutting hair and showed incredible attention to the details. Overall, it was an incredible experience and I loved the haircut. I attended an event a few days later where a lot of pictures were taken and Marco really pulled through for me. He even sent me a detailed message after the haircut outlining what he did and what products he would recommend I use given my hair type and health. I'm not from NYC so this was incredibly meaningful to me that he went the extra step to help me out in the future. If I was in NYC, I would continually come back to Marco cause he knows what he is doing and makes the overall experience enjoyable. I can't recommend him enough.read more

Marco gave me a fresh cut and great conversation. Super down to earth guy and even more of a professional. Would definitely recommend 12 Pell and Marco. He gave me many personalized tips for my hair and haircare suggestions which was extremely informative and helpful. I'll be coming back for sure! Excited for this guy cause he's going to do big things.read more

Honestly, these guys are worth so much more than just the hype. They're not just giving haircuts, they're working on a brand that involves bringing their community up with them, and creating a lifestyle that gives their clients a sense of purpose. I had the pleasure of making a consultation appointment with Peter and it was well worth it. He first asked me to explain what I've been doing with my hair my whole life, and what my goals are. Then he described to me the type of hair I have, specifically the qualities that would make certain type of hairstyles good and other styles not so good. He also kept answering all my questions, and would periodically stop throughout the cut to explain his process and also get my feedback. I've had barbers in the past ask me how it looks at the end, but I've never had someone ask me consistently throughout if what they're doing to my hair is in line with what I envisioned. Best part, he told me exactly how I should be styling my hair outside the shop, which is also completely new to me. Often times I find myself not able to recreate the fresh-outta-the-barbershop cut but Peter walked me through exactly the type of products I can use if I wanted to, and how to comb my hair, even down to the detail of which type of comb would be best for my hair. To top it all off, they'll be sending me an email with before and after photos of my cut, along with a written recap of what we talked about in regards to hair maintenance and styling. I also wanted to mention that even though this is the best haircut I've ever had, what I won't forget is how confident and empowered Peter made me feel leaving 12pell. I am definitely going back, there is absolutely no doubt.read more

Hit up Marco at 12 Pell because he’s great! Marco gave me excellent consultation about my hair and taught me a thing or two about how to style it. Then when he was cutting it he made sure I understood the direction he was trying to paint with my hair every step of the way. The end result? A two thumbs up from my partner - a tough audience - and a haircut that made me look FLY. So when you’re here, make sure you request for Marco! Worth the trip and every dollar!read more

I went to 12 Pell hoping for a barbershop where I was sure that I would be extremely happy with the results, and I was. This is by far the best haircut I have ever received. My hair was cut by Franky, he’s a really good barber. Everyone there is very experienced. I would absolutely recommend. Appreciate you Franky.read more

I've had my haircut with Julius several times this year already and I couldn't be more happy with the results each time. Definitely the most consistently clean cut I've had and I have every intention to keep returning for the foreseeable future. Julius is efficient and does an incredible job at listening to what it is you are looking for, brainstorming what he thinks would work best, and explaining what he is doing while executing and how to maintain the hair between visits. Genuinely could not recommend him and 12 Pell enough!read more

Pros: I've been coming to 12 Pell ever since I moved back to NYC last year and as a man with Asian hair, I can confidently say you'd be hard pressed to find a place that has more knowledge and technique on how to manage unruly straight hair and find the best hairstyles suited for Asian skin and faces, plain and simple. Every one of the barbers here are dedicated to the craft and can tell you everything there is to know about your unique hair and how to best work with it.My barber, Franky, no exception. Most barbers struggle with the unique growth pattern on the back of my neck, but Franky's managed to give me a clean skin fade or taper fade (I switch up on him regularly depending on my mood) every single time. He also does a damn good job keeping the top long, clean and textured the way I like it. Franky listens to your wants, takes into account your face shape and hair type, and will give you real feedback on what's possible and what's not, and has the technique to give you the best cut possible. He's my go-to. Book "Walk-In 3" online if you want to get a cut with him.Cons: I'll only dock a star from this place because for the price point, I definitely think a hair wash and a hotel towel should come standard. But considering the massive amount of popularity 12 Pell's come across, I can understand it's just not feasible with all the volume these guys bring in. Would love to see these guys expand further and build a bigger space that delivers a high-quality experience before and during the cut.read more

This is the spot to go if you aren’t sure what to do with your hair. Their consultation service and cuts is top notch. True meaning of young professionals. I had the pleasure of having Tim cut my hair. There’s a reason why his availability is hard to come by. He was very detailed in explaining what hair fits best for my face shape, what products to use that works well for my dry hair, how to style it, even down to the type of comb I should use. This is more than what I can ask for at any other barbershop. The most underrated part of the consultation has to be the hair resume. It outlines everything that he went over which is extremely helpful because I came from out of town so I don’t have the means to visit NY often. With the hair resume, I can explain how to cut my hair at a local shop. I’ll have to find time to come back again soon though because 12Pell has world class service.read more

By far the best haircut I've ever had! Pete took his time to listen to the style I was going for and then gave suggestions and explained how he was going to cut my hair. He took time to explain my hair style and texture and how I should be taking care of my hair and then showed me a few different ways I could style it. He even stopped multiple times during the haircut to explain what he was doing and to see if I had any feedback. I think this is the first time I've gotten a haircut that I immediately liked walking out the door. 100% would recommend getting a haircut here and will definitely be back.read more

Thinley is one of the most thorough and caring stylists I've ever met. He is very honest and knowledgeable about hair, and he's not afraid to tell you what he thinks would be best for you. I usually have to visit two places due to my unique hair type and the type of styling I'd get. Thinley is good with the scissors and he can do fades. I think he just gave me one of the best fades I've ever had compared to most of the Dominican barbershops I've been in. Mind you, I come from Corona where it's a pre-dominantly Dominican neighborhood so I've had almost every fade you can think of; however, these Dominican barbershops around me can't cut or style Asian hair the same way. If you're wondering where you should go, don't hesitate to come here. I regret not going to Thinley for my first haircut after two years from the pandemic. My haircut already came out the best it possibly could've today, but I'm sure it could've been even better if I had given Thinley more to work with. It was totally my mistake for not finding this place sooner and letting someone else chop off all the hair I grew during this pandemic. Now I have to wait for more of my hair to grow back before Thinley can bring out my hair's full potential. I had a very important event to attend at the Javit Center and Thinley came through! Thank you so much Thinley!read more

Asian guys cutting Asian (and other) hair. Andrew Yang said it best, there's something magical about that. It's great that we're developing our own style and guys that look like us and understand our own identity and challenges are stepping in and styling us for ourselves. I don't live in NY anymore but always make sure to stop by and get a refresh when I'm around. My friends are always impressed. Gone are the days of the rice bowl mid part dorky cuts. Enter stylish editorial cuts you and everyone will appreciate.read more

950 reviews and 5 stars says it all. Everyone here is very friendly and accommodating. You’re always greeted by someone at the door and offered something to drink and estimated wait time if there is any. I personally go to Tim 🐐. He is the best barber I have ever been to. You can tell he is extremely knowledgeable and takes pride in his craft. Once you get a cut from him, he will explain to you your head shape, hair type, how to take care of your hair and all that good stuff. Every visit he asks you how the styling was and always tries to make you look your best.read more

First Time Visit: 10/10Barber: LarryHighly Recommended12 Pell has been on my list to visit since first hearing about them on Tik Tok and Instagram. I liked the idea of getting a haircut tailored just for me rather than a generic “cut & go” experience.I’m in the process of growing out my hair and needed advice for how to cut and style my hair to bring my vision to fruition. Larry did a great job recommending a cut based on how my hair naturally grows. He mapped out how we would allow my hair to grow in certain areas while keeping the sides short with a low fade. It turned out great!I felt at ease with the process and I liked the level of communication between me and my barber. The shop has a nice vibe to it as well. They have a selection of hair care products available in the shop for purchase, it is well lit and organized.12 Pell is highly recommend and well worth the trip downtown. I will be back soon!read more

I came in for the consultation and cut with Andy and I couldn't be happier with the experience and outcome. Before I came in, Andy had me send him a selfie and asked if I had any hair inspiration to aspire to. I didn't, so he suggested a couple of styles that he thought might work.During the cut, Andy started by asking about my previous cuts, what I liked, what I didn't like. He then took the time to explain the kind of hair I had as well as the shape of my face. Based on these attributes, he explained the kinds of hair styles that would work best. He also took into account my hair routine (no products, infrequent cuts) when offering suggestions. After we agreed on the hair style, Andy started cutting, checking in with me about the length as he went. He solicited feedback as he worked to ensure I was getting the haircut I wanted and took the time to show me the back and sides several times during the cut.He later emailed me notes on the items we had discussed, along with photos of the completed cut so future barbers would have a handy and personalized reference to follow.That was almost three months ago, and while my hair has now grown out, the styling advice he offered continues to be relevant. I'm looking forward to my next cut at 12 Pell. I highly recommend the consultation if you'd like to receive professional and thoughtful guidance on your hair.read more

You will get a good cut if you come here. Don’t worry about getting a bad haircut because from what I’ve seen and experienced you won’t get that.I booked the consultation with scissor cut with Peter. I have a long midpart that was always awkward because of my previous barber but after coming to Peter 3 times it has actually grown out properly each time. It looks nice and the proportions are just how I want them. Peter gave me advice and answered all my questions regarding hair during the process. It’s honestly a great feeling that I don’t have to feel anxious during haircuts anymore because I know Peter got me. Also, If you care about every single little detail, make sure to remind them. People aren’t robots so you can’t expect them to remember every single thing. For example on my sideburns I prefer them to be pointy shaped instead of square shaped and I got them squared off last time. Should’ve reminded them because I’m very picky but it’s okay ! Not a deal breaker or anything because the cut still looked nice. I need to make sure to remind them next time is all. With all of that being said though, it does come out to be pricey (in my opinion, I’m a broke college student aha) scissor cut is $80 with Peter. So if you can afford it, it will be worth it. These young, enthusiastic, and happy gentlemen won’t let you down.(Attached image is a picture of me about a week after I got a scissor cut from Peter)read more

Thrilled with my experience at 12 Pell this past weekend. Tim took the time to ensure that he understood how I wanted my hair cut while offering opinions and options along the way.

When I got there the whole staff was very welcoming and professional. Andy taught me a lot about my hair and different hair styles.

First time getting a haircut and did not disappoint. It’s a chill, clean, and well lit barbershop. All the barbers are very knowledgeable and great at offering suggestions when it comes to talking to clients who are unsure of the type of haircut they should get. They are also great at dealing with clients who for sure know what they want.I had Tyler as my barber and he did a great job with the haircut. Had an amazing consultation prior to getting the haircut and came up with a new style that I haven’t tried before. Definitely a place to check out. It is also a plus that the shop is in Chinatown.read more

Got probably the best haircut ever here from Tim, highly recommend. I went in for the consultation + scissor cut, as it was my first time at this location. Highly recommend doing the consultation if it is your first visit, it was a great experience. You'll learn all about your hair type, hair care, and how to style your hair and on top of that receive an incredibly detailed and precise cut based on Tim's recommendations. Don't pass up this place. And book your appointments in advance, Tim's a busy guy!read more

Awesome place for a haircut especially if you are looking for something new. A little on the pricier side but well worth it. Barbers talk to you about what you want to do with your hair and show you new styles you never thought of. Consultation service is very useful the barber will let you know how to describe your haircut to other barbers so you can go to anyone in the store to replicate your cut. Awesome group of guys at 12 Pell.read more

Starting going to 12 Pell after moving to New York. I was looking for a barber that understood how to cut Asian hair. Though there are a lot of options, I’m happy that I picked 12 Pell. From setting up an appointment to getting the actual haircut, the process is flawless and very easy.I have been getting cuts from Larry, who is awesome and charismatic, and gives great hair cuts. He gives a nice skin taper which allows Asian hair to grow out in a nicer shape which ultimately requires less haircuts!The atmosphere is great at 12 Pell. You can’t help but overhear the other conversations, but all of them consist of barbers who really care about their clients’ hair, offering great advice. I know I picked a great place, and have only skimmed the surface of the many great things this place has to offer.read more

12 Pell has definitely demonstrated how they are a cut above the other barber shops in general. From the moment you step in for your appointment they greet you and get you started in the most professional manner. Larry had cleaned me up, paying attention to the closest details and making sure the cut was pleasant from start to end.The hot towel along with the aromatherapy was a very nice touch that I don’t see in other barbershops. I highly recommend this shop to others who are looking to finally find a barber who will get the job done in the best manner possible and have an excellent time while in the chair.read more

First time here, I booked with Kevin. Really disappointed in this place considering their reputation as well as price ($45 plus a 10$ tip.) I came in here with a picture to show the barber, making it well known that I wanted something low maintenance and that I've gotten a ton of fades in the past and really liked them, but wasn't looking to get one due to the constant need for another haircut to keep the style up. This had been my first haircut in probably 9 months so my hair was extremely long leaving me with a bunch of options for the first time in along time, as I hate the awkward grow out stage but was able to push through it not seeing many people during the pandemic. The picture I showed had medium length up top, and then a more trimmed side but in no way a fade. I told the barber that I wanted it to be just above the length that my hair begins to stick up because that happens when its cut too short, as well as my cowlick on the crown of my head becoming an issue. Upon 30 seconds of my haircut beginning, I knew he had messed up with whatever guard he used to shave down the bulk of my hair. Within those 30 seconds, I already knew the photo I showed the barber would be impossible to achieve as he cut down way too much. After asking him where this was going, he decides to pull up a picture on his own phone and show me what he's going for. I don't know if he did this to try to make it seem like he knew what he was doing rather than admit he messed up, but it was apparent the photo I showed him had been tossed out the window as he was now showing the same basic haircut that every barber has done for the past 5 years, fade on the sides with length on top. He was able to do the fade well but it was exactly what I made clear I didn't want. The most frustrating part of this is that I chose a highly rated and expensive barber shop so that those months of growing out my hair weren't wasted, but now I'm back to square one.Pictures added of what I showed vs what I received.read more

12 Pell is hands down the best barbershop in the area, and it's worth travelling from other boroughs too. You don't just go to 12 Pell for a haircut... you go for the experience.I've lived in LA, Chicago, Michigan, and now New York, and finding a good barber is tough, so it was refreshing to stumble across 12 Pell early during my search because I've been nothing short of satisfied. To me, a good barber is professional, personable, and skilled enough to give me a clean A$$ fade consistently every time I visit. My guy Tim checks all these boxes. Also, the place is super clean and modern. No more old men cutting your hair from a style book from the 40s.If you are looking for a new barber to turn yourself from a 4 to a 10, look no further. 12 Pell and Tim have got you covered!read more

This barbershop is a vibe. Started getting my haircuts from here last year in the middle of the pandemic and was very impressed by the safety protocols they have in place (temperature check, disposable capes, sanitizing equipment after each haircut, etc). What makes going to 12 Pell a great experience for me is not just the quality of the haircuts but the other services they provide, such as hair consultation and styling advice. I know I'm being taken care of when I'm there as they go the extra mile to ensure you have an amazing cut and experience.read more

12Pell is truly a great lifestyle barbershop. In search for a new barber, I decided to try Tim from 12Pell out. His cuts are on point and will have you feeling fresh for weeks. I'm happy I made the switch.The shop is clean, and covid friendly. Their online booking system is simple and easy to use.read more

These guys don't disappoint. Scheduling and check-in is seamless, and you'll get a fresh cut everytime with a classic barbershop experience. If you want barbers who prioritize quality and who actively support their local community, go here. Prices are more than reasonable, and you can get some great food before/after your cut too. What's not to love.read more

Tim is a master of his craft. This is by far the cleanest cut I've ever gotten. All the barbers are super welcoming and they really listen to you. The hospitality here is unmatched. It's also a relief to know that they take Covid seriously. If you can make the trip here and want to support Chinatown's local businesses, I highly recommend this shop right here.read more

I’ve been going to this place for 4-5 months now. My barber, Ken, is amazing and blesses me with the best haircuts. I’ve gotten my haircut at many different tiers, from barbershop for 20$ to hair salons for 60-70$. These guys are definitely game changing with their calming and modern setting. I would recommend this place to all my friends. Thanks for the best cuts Ken!!read more

Ken is the man. Great service in a friendly atmosphere. Went in and was welcomed as a walk in. Got a fresh cut to feel younger and look updated!

Went to 12 Pell for the first time to get my first post-quarantine haircut and they did not disappoint! Their website 12pell.com wasn’t working this morning, so that was annoying, but I found that their bookings are made on a third-party website that was fast and user-friendly. I was able to book my barber and prepay for it so I didn’t have to bother with transacting with cards and such while I was there. I was greeted at the door, given a cold bottle of water, and after a temperature check and hand sanitizing, my appointment with Kenny started right on time. I had rode my e-scooter and they put in the back storage area so I didn’t have to worry about it. Cleanliness is a major priority here, and it seemed like there was someone sweeping and cleaning when they weren’t actively cutting hair. There are plastic shields between each chair and of course everyone inside is wearing a mask. Kenny did a great job with a fade, and giving me some tips on styling. I appreciated how he had all his clippers and guards neatly arranged and not just thrown in the drawer. It’s got a Kith vibe with the Nike SB line, apparel, and hair products available for purchase, and is probably more fitting for a Soho or Williamsburg location, but here it is in Chinatown among the $7 haircut barber shops of Pell and Doyers! Don’t expect to pay $7 here though, but do expect professional service and a fresh cut that comes with attention to detail.read more

I've lived in the NYC for the past 10 years and this is the #1 barbershop. Clean, professional, high quality, but also the guys are all super friendly/nice and it makes for a great all-around customer experience. I would highly recommend 12 Pell to anyone looking for any kind of haircut in the NY area. Especially after COVID, these guys are doing everything possible to make the customer feel safe and welcome, with the added bonus that you get to enjoy Chinatown after the cut. I've also picked up numerous tips on styling, products, and general skincare, which can not be said for 99% of other barbershops in NYC. Well worth the price every time. I recommend Tim, but this is the kind of place where you can't miss no matter who is cutting your hair.read more

I've been going here for awhile and every cut I get is exactly what I want if not, better. The place is nice and cozy with a modern look. Thereare plenty of great barbers but go ask for Kenny, hand down you'll love his work and your new cut. Also it's covid friendly. They take your temp the moment you arrive, sanitize your hands and have extra mask for you. So make your appointment now and get that fresh cut you've been wanting.read more

Got a fresh cut from Kenny. The experience overall was very detail oriented. The fade is clean. A barricade was set up between each barber to make sure social distancing rules apply. I was also given a disposable face mask, so that my own face mask would not get hair splintered into it. Stoked to go back once social distancing rules lax up so I can see how the experience is. Booked my next appointment 3.5 weeks out.read more

Probably the most safest place to get a haircut right now with the pandemic going on. Everyone wears a mask and your temperature must be checked before entering. As an additional protective measure there are dividers between the seats to make sure all guest are safe from one another.My barber Kenny was also amazing. He spent a detailed amount of time on my hair you can tell he cares about his clients. He also guided me on how to properly style my hair to make sure I look my best even after the day of the cut. Would definitely recommend trying them out!read more

I've been going to 12 Pell since they first opened, simply because I've always appreciated what they're doing for the community. These are hard working honest dudes! Love what ya continue to do. During quarantine I kept asking my uncle to allow me to take my cousins to 12 Pell, thank god he finally gave in... they are never seeing their old barber again lol! Tim and Kevin left my boys looking so handsome. They work fast, clean and are so kind. Tim, again thank you so much for entertaining Dani haha. They had a great time! Also, it Is so affordable! Here's proof! Please support small businesses, specially young entrepreneurs, These guys have created an amazing place for the community. 🤟🏼read more

I went to 12 Pell for the first time recently and was very impressed with the experience. The haircut I received from Tim was easily the best I've gotten in New York, and the experience overall was very professional and polished -- I was particularly impressed with the protocols they have adapted to provide service amidst the pandemic. I only visited a week after they reopened, yet the check-in and sanitizing processes seemed well thought out and were executed very smoothly. Would definitely recommend to frankly anyone looking for a good haircut.read more

My first time here and it was by far the best haircut and experience I've ever had at a barbershop. The environment is really chill and clean. I can tell that the team here really looks out for their clients and knows how to take care of them. I was greeted at the door and as I got settled in they offered me water as I waited for my barber. Big shout out to Kenny for taking care of my hair. He asked me how I wanted my hair, gave recommendations, explained everything he was doing. Kenny took his time and I really appreciate his patience and attention to detail. Along with the cut they also provide you with hair wash and hot towel treatment. I live on the Island, but I was in the area for work. Even though this place is far, I'll definitely be hitting them up and coming back here.read more

Hands down the best place I've gotten a cut in NYC. Anyone who knows me knows my hair is extremely hard to cut - it's very straight and not pliable. Tim was extremely knowledgeable and had a lot of suggestions. The best part is that he will teach you how to style it . There's also a bunch of little things they do that other shops don't - they wash your hair, provide aftershave, hot towel with eucalyptus oil, and overall very fine attention to detail. It's easily worth the price (which is very reasonable compared to many NYC salons).read more

First stepped into the shop by referral of a friend. Experience was one of a kind. I was greeted by Larry and asked for a low fade with an inch off of the top. He gave extreme attention to detail and made sure to check in with you if everything with your haircut is going the way you want it to. The cherry on top was the hair wash and hot towel service. Would extremely recommend hitting up Larry for a dope cut!read more

Just moved here about a month ago and been dreading trying to find a new barber to go to. Luckily a friend recommended this spot. Booked and appointment with Tim. Great customer service once you step in, and it continues throughout the appointment. Tim is great at explaining what he's doing and why he's doing them, and of course gives you options in case you want it done differently. They even provide a eucalyptus-infused hot towel treatment. Haircut came out perfect, and had one of the best post-cut styling I've ever had. Pretty sure I already found my go-to place, which is awesome.read more
