Description
Clever Barber (Brooklyn) specializes in trendy haircuts, old school hot towel shaves and beard trims. They maintain that traditional quality in a rustic-chic interior where you can sit back and enjoy a shot or cold beer. They take walk-ins and appointments, although if you're going on a weekend, I'd suggest an appointment.

One of the best barbershop experiences I’ve had in a long while. Decided one day to give them a try, since I was in the area and looking for a new barbershop, and it’s been a regular blessing since! Although I go to my one particular barber consistently, I’ve seen each barber give a quality haircut and the service is worthwhile. Good vibes, decent setup and super comfortable atmosphere. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!read more

George is the best. Asks lots of questions and makes sure, your expectations are met. The shop is nice and the prices fair. For Sat + Sunday, better get a reservation from their website as it gets pretty busy. Its very simple and quick.read more

I'm a queer woman and I had a great experience at Clever Barber. They fit me in as a walk-in and Edgar did a wonderful job on my cut. He has excellent attention to detail.

Accidentally came by the barbershop about a year ago and haven't been to any barbershop after. Drive about 30-45 mins to just get my cut here. I have family members coming here also from all over. Definitely give them a try, if you haven't yet.read more

The most professional and expert barbers are in this establishment. My main man George runs the place and I’m always welcomed with a smile. Walking in I’m greeted by an ice cold beer. There is no other barber I would let touch my head. Looking forward to heading back there ASAP once they open.read more

Got a great haircut. Barbers were in PPE and had good techniques for getting around the masks for trimming around the ears, etc. My only gripe would have been that I wish I could have charged the tip with the cut, because I didn’t have much cash on me and I would have tipped more.read more

Clean, professional, patient and COVID accommodating barbers.I appreciated that they sanitize their tools before using them. If your barber doesn’t do that, regardless of a pandemic, then you need to either have a conversation with them or switch barbers.You can schedule online or call in. I would suggest calling in. Price is reasonable for a haircut in this part of Brooklyn.Wear a mask.read more

The person who cut my hair was extremely nice and we had a bunch of nice conversations throughout my haircut. We talked from video games to vaccines to a bunch of other things.

Good haircut, Rodrigo touched up my existing design real nice. Hard to find people who can so that. For an hour of work they charged $70, which is on the high side but I left happy. Will come back when I'm in Brooklyn next.read more

As a 3rd generation hairdresser licensed for 13 years, I’m pretty picky about my haircuts. This was the 3rd barber I’ve visited in NYC and the best haircut I’ve had by far. George is talented, kind, efficient, and knows where to find a great burger.read more

This is for sure and without a doubt a great place to get a fresh good-looking and modern hair cut! I have been lucky to find such talented barbers. Last year I started frequenting Edgar. His work is amazing. He is very detail oriented and friendly. If you’re looking for a great modern hair cut: look no more!read more

Edgar faded me up and gave me one of the best haircuts of my life. I'm very particular about my hair and get it cut every two weeks so I'm always in search of a great barber.

Went in to surprise my husband so he can finally get that post covid cut. Listen , this barbershop is in its own league!!! Their customer service is top notch , they try to give the customers what they want and their clipper skills is on point and for the price they are charging for licensed barbers and hair stylists , it is a steal! He went to Boris and got a fade and beard touch up and Boriz did an amazing job , 100% will be coming back and the entire vibe of the barbershop is all good and alive! Everyone is super kind and chill and they definitely are one of the best barbershops I’ve ever been to. If your looking for a barbershop because your tired of all the overpriced terrible barbers , come here.read more

Made an appointment after months of not getting a haircut and wanted to check this place out as it had immediate availability. Was paired up with George, and he seriously gave me one of the best haircut's i've ever had in my adult life. He really knows how to make a thinning head of hair look natural and full. Definitely coming back!read more

I love going here. I do have to travel a little extra but its well worth it. The cuts aren't too expensive but yet they still have a high end variety of products they use for pre and post cuts. The time and precision they take for each customer is always appreciated.read more

The place has an incredibly laid back but friendly and authentic feeling. There's no BS and these guys know what they're doing but manage to do it while still being friendly. Excellent experience.

Took my 2 year old here. My boy hates buzzers and is terrified of it, but the worker was very gentle and skilled in handling children. In fact, most of the haircut was done by comb/scissors. When it came to using the buzzer, the barber turned on the buzzer to let my son see and hear it. He then let my son feel the buzzer, as a kind of exposure therapy. To my surprise, my son was not crying hysterically, Having a show he likes to watch on my phone helped as well.read more

Clever barber, is by far the best hair cutting experience ever. My three year old son received his very first hair cut from the one and only Boris, who did an outstanding job. My husband and I could not be more happier with the style, and attention to detail this barbershop gave to my son. We are repeat customer. Clever barbers cut all of our children's hair including my husband. Would highly recommend the haircuts here.read more
