The Ledo barber shop has a very nice traditional interior with high quality master barbers. The owner, Ledo, is a very polite, professional, and soft spoken man. He is highly skilled in his craft, and seems to really enjoy what he does and interacting with customers. They will also do haircuts for kids, ages 5 & up.

Just got my first haircut in 4 months at ledo’s. Amazing service and great haircuts. I’m away at college and refuse to get my haircut anywhere else but here. Best haircut you can get in NYC. Been living here 19 years and I have never found a place as gokd as this.read more

I get a little bit of a unique cut, some barbers are afraid to do as I ask, talk me out of it etc, Sal at Ledo hooked me up, excellent cut, service, easy online booking and price. Located right off the 7 train Vernon Jackson stop.Can’t recommend it enough.read more

Probably the best barber shop in NYC. Not in LIC or Queens only -- but in NYC.Opened 4 months ago. Great cuts at very reasonable prices. They use amazing products too and pay attention to detail. The decor is amazing with original flooring and wood cabinets dating back to the 1800s. And to top it off, the guys there are super friendly.Update as of March 2018: it’s only gotten better with more products, more barbers and an online reservation system.read more

I’d been looking for a barber for a while since I had gotten tired of trekking down to the LES to get a good haircut, and also had gotten tired of paying $100 plus tip for 20 minutes of cutting. Enter Ledo. He and his barbers are no-nonsense and supremely talented. They get you in, cut your hair, get you out. And you get an excellent, professional cut plus a steaming towel for your neck and face. I’ll be coming here for as long as I can.read more

Went to LEDO's for the first time after 2 months without a personal haircut. They're taking all the precautions from wearing masks, gloves, sanitizing the chair, UV light on the brushes and equipment, to not overcrowding. Had an appointment with the man himself, LEDO. I'll be going back now that I know I can trust a local barber!read more

Just moved to Long Island city and needed a new barber. I hit up Ledo and was hooked up. Everyone has that nervous feeling going to a barber for the first time, but I knew they were going to take care of me. Ledo, the guy that owns the place, definitely hooked it up. I was doing myself a disservice going to my previous barber. Highly recommend this place!read more

If you need a barber who listens and pays attention to every detail of the cut, Ledo is definitely the man you need! I asked him for a specific cut with certain details from photos, and it took him a second to process it and make it work with my hair. From that I can tell he is a very experienced barber. I highly recommend this guy!read more

Pros:Nice enough place. And one of the better cuts I've gotten. They get a new Razor for you, hot towel and put product in your hair.Cons:The cost of a basic cut is 35$. They only take cash. For this they lost a star. It's the 21st century. Take Venmo something. But they will let you pay the next day. I pay half the bill the day off and the other half the next daysMore info : Don't think they do designs and don't anyone can cut black hair nicely here.read more

LEDO is exactly what this neighborhood needed! Great cuts with a friendly staff. On one occasion they didn't have an opening until the following day. I asked Ledo to call me if someone cancelled.

These guys are great at what they do. When the pandemic hit, John Allens went out of business in midtown. This place, which is just one subway stop away in LIC, didn’t. That sort of says it all. You go here when you must have your hair cut well. There won’t be a beverage, and there might be a line. So be it.read more

While I’ve had haircuts with nearly all barbers at Ledo’s shop, one of the newest barbers to the shop, Alex, has most recently given me what I consider to be the best haircut of my life, and I’m a quite picky. I’ll be back to see Alex monthly and can’t recommend Alex enough.read more

Been going for years with Cesar who has never failed to deliver exceptional quality and service. Go check out the website and see for yourself that you have to book way in advance to get a cut with him, he simply delivers and is high in demand. Cash-only, so go and get yourself some cash and head over there to get a nice fresh cut for the weekend!read more

Best barber shop I have ever found - by far. I have been going to Ledo for 5 years. Friendly neighborhood barbershop vibe and very inclusive. You can't go wrong with any of the barbers , but Cesar is try go-to. Gives the best fades, is meticulous with his work, and very friendly. I really appreciate the fact that you can book appointments, and I have never had to wait more than about 4-5 minutes. I can't recommend Ledo - Art of the Barber any higher. Note: This is a cash only barber shop, but there is a Chase ATM around the corner and an ATM in the shop; Plan accordingly.read more

I recently walked into a local barber shop. I’ve passed by it a few times and really needed a cut; it seemed like they were experienced barbers who would have no issues with a fade. I was able to get into a chair right away, but then a noticeable language barrier emerged when I sat down, making me consider leaving. Since I had a feeling I was not going to like the result but felt awkward and with the cape already on, I proceeded despite my reservations.The language challenge persisted, hindering effective communication of my preferences. Though I initially requested a high fade, I found it challenging to convey my expectations, leading to a different outcome.The final result significantly differed from what I envisioned, no fade and the beard lineup without a straight blade (at $60, I expected a cleaner lineup). Despite the challenges, I acknowledge that she did her best.In summary, at $60, the overall experience definitely fell short of expectations.I suggest elsewhere if you’re looking for a fade, this seems like more like one of those places where you tell them what numbers you want on the sides and top .read more

Update: They called me directly to apologize for the service and offer several options for recompense in a very open and classy manner. Adding a star back on for the sheer customer service of the response.My barber was Yenni, and it was a pretty disappointing experience overall. She started late off a smoke break outside, which isn't a problem by itself but it did set the stage for what followed. After a few minutes of awkward waiting she began, and was about to take clippers to my hair before I'd even said what I wanted. I asked her to stop, explained that I wanted a simple 3 on the sides, fade to a squared off top, combed forward. She nodded, switched the clipper head (phew), and got started. The side work seemed to go fine after that, though the fade was a little weak, until she got to the top. The cutting seemed haphazard, not following any real shaping, and she continuously combed my hair backwards. I thought it was her technique so I didn't speak up until she unexpectedly finished (it did not look finished) and started to put product into my hair. I again asked her to stop, clarified that I did not want product, and repeated my ask for a forward comb. She actually laughed, shrugged as if to say "ok buddy", and begrudgingly pushed my hair forward. It was clearer then just how poor the cut was; I asked for a few small adjustments to salvage it some, and that was that. She grabbed a lukewarm towel, rubbed my head a little, and gestured for me to exit the chair. I don't know if that's how all of their barbers treat clients, but I don't think I'll be returning to find out.PS: Another exciting portion was learning at the counter - after the cut - that they are a cash-only business, and that their ATM hasn't worked for some time. So I had to run home and back with cash, since the nearest functional ATM was a sketchy machine in a convenience store a block away.read more

This is the place in Long Island City to get not only an amazing haircut but also be around amazing people who care about their craft and work extremely hard to make sure that everyone leaves looking great and feeling great as well.Since 2017, Ledo and his team have worked unbelievably hard to make this shop an experience where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and where he and his staff make sure that every customer is happy with their work.You come for the cut, but you keep coming back for the team. There is reason why they call Ledo a master; not only in his craft but how he works to make every customer feel appreciated and respected.Totally worth a visit, and couldn't recommend this place more!read more
