I've been going to this place for about a year now, started going on my lunch break. I have a slightly different haircut than most of the men that walk through their door (essentially a mohawk although I never style it that way) and they're always very receptive as to the cut I'd like on that given day. I've been rotating between 3 barbers and have been satisfied with all three. Good price, location, and friendly staff, and gets the job done in a timely matter.read more

Fantastic place this one!!If you're a guy looking to get a cheap and quick hair-cut at any point of the day for less than 25$, this is the place. It's highly economical without compromising on quality. I've come here for a hair cut and I've also come here for a beard trim and haven't been disappointed on either occasions.As indicated on their website you can get a beard-trim done for as low as 10$ which is a steal. There are usually 4-5 barbers available at any point of time so wait-time is pretty low. Note that this place doesn't take reservations.Great customer experience while keeping it simple. Brilliant !!read more

Only $25 for a really superb haircut.  Surely this is one of those 'hidden bargains' of New York City.  Your $25 buys you an enormous amount of attention: There is definitely a focus on those little details that make the difference.  The whole team is young, focused, proud of what they do, superbly trained, totally professional. Great with kids, too.read more

What a nice Barbershop in the area! I came here to have my haircut with Elvin. Thankfully, you assigned her to cut my hair. I like him because he was so kind, creative, and speedy in cutting my hair. I thank him so much for being too responsible. It was an awesome work that was done by him! You're strongly recommended!read more

This place is the best for a quick and great haircut. Been going here for the past few years and they never disappoint.

It's not easy finding a good barber nowadays and I just got lucky with Clark! He did amazing work! I appreciate the time detail and the skills of Clark. I did not feel that he's rush to finish it.

I've been a regular customer at 5th Ave barber for years. Steve and his staff give a great cut at an affordable price. With my office near Bryant Park, this location is perfect for a quick lunchtime or post-work cut. It's conveniently located near the Empire State Building, midtown offices, 34th Street shopping, Herald Square, the Macy's Store, and Fifth Ave. I always look forward to stopping by the shop.read more

Yesterday I got a haircut at a barbershop chain around Flatiron. The person who gave me that first cut butchered the long hair I had growing on top and they could not properly fade my sides leaving uneven streaks and patches.I was thinking that no one could fix it given how short the first person cut it but I found this place after looking up barbershop nearby my office and I am so happy I did.I called ahead to make an appointment (it's just walk-in) and was reassured that if I come in they'll do what they can to fix my hair.I'm going to have to spend a few months re-growing my hair up top but a big thank you to Robert, he fixed up my sides (plus it's the way I originally wanted it done at the other place now).I have found my new go to place for haircuts!read more

One of the best cuts I have ever had, nice precision cut. Great price and quick.

I got a few compliments on my cut and that speaks volumes.read more

I’m a local in the area and have been meaning to swing by this spot. An open spot opened up in my schedule and said let’s see how it goes. Could not be more happy with my experience. My barber who I think is also the owner Steve took care of me like I had been a returning customer for years. One of the cleanest fades and shaves I’ve gotten in a very long time. Not to mention the vibes were just such a good time. Definitely will be back next time I’m up for a cut.read more

After searching through many barbershops in Midtown NYC, I found 5th Ave Barbershop—and I’ve been a loyal customer for about 10+ years now. This place is truly top-notch! The barbers are incredibly skilled, professional, and always deliver a precise, high-quality haircut.No matter what style I ask for. Steve executes it flawlessly with great attention to detail. The shop is always clean, well-maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear they take pride in their craft, and that’s why I keep coming back.If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional barbershop in NYC, I highly recommend 5th Ave Barbershop.
