Great service along with a fantastic and welcoming staff. It's weird to say I had fun getting a haircut but that is the best word I can use to describe it. Prices also can't be best for the quality. Highly recommend!read more

I highly recommend Otis & Finn. Kirk has been cutting my hair for almost a year now and he is a delight. His fades are on point. The shop is very clean and the customer service is top notch. The barbers make an effort to get to know the clients, even the ones who aren’t cutting your hair.read more

I've been a customer of Otis & Finn for years and can't recommend this shop enough!! Best in LIC hands down. The barbers are seriously top notch and go above and beyond to make sure you're looking your best. As a medical professional, I'm also very impressed with all of the adaptations the shop has made to keeps its customers safe. Appointments, barriers between chairs, and PPE are just a few of the measures the shop has undertaken during these unprecedented times. Search no more, you won't be disappointed.read more

Thank Goodness I just got a fresh fade from Stan, I was looking like a straight neanderthal after 4 months without a hair cut. I highly recommended for anyone local to LIC. The man is an artist, love his work! The cut was clean and high attention to detail, also a nice guy the chat with. My wife also thanks Stan as well!read more

I’ve been a client for over 5 years and can’t imagine going anywhere else to get my haircut. I’m convinced Jordan has some magic barber powers because to be able to consistently make me look and feel like a new man each week requires something way more than your average barber can do. She’s really incredible and the shop itself always has fun and welcoming vibes. Highly HIGHLY recommend.read more

I can’t say enough good things about Otis & Finn. I am a trans man who relies on haircuts to feel like my most confident and masculine self. Unfortunately, other barbershops have not been accepting of my identity and haven’t been able to give me the cut I desire. Until, I found Otis & Finn. The atmosphere is so calming, accepting and fun. The place is soaked in natural sunlight and has a retro vibe that I adore. I personally see Jordan Sammarco and she has a gift for cutting short hair. She leaves me feeling so confident and handsome after each cut and the best part is that I get an amazing haircut at an extremely affordable price. I really can’t recommend Otis & Finn enough. Definitely check them out!read more

I didn't want to go into the city for my haircuts during the quarantine, so I gave this place a shot. And Jordan is sooooo good. Guys, if you've got really straight hair, she can handle it.

Jordan is phenomenal! She works with you to find a great style and takes time to give you a perfect haircut. I've been going to Jordan for a year and have never liked my hair more.

Sara Levin is the best! I've been to this shop twice now and she's given me the perfect haircut both times. It's the sort of cut that looks so nice it makes me want to dress better and exercise more. She's professional, friendly, and I feel like she really takes the time to do things right instead of rushing through the cut to maximize her schedule. The cut looks great both fresh and when grown out. As a bonus, she turned me onto a product that I wish I'd known about sooner. (I know it's common for stylists and barbers to push products but in this case it is something that actually helps hold my hair without making it too heavy or hard and she seemed genuinely enthusiastic about it. Regardless, it worked out well for me so win win!).I travel over 30 minutes by train to get to this shop specifically and it's worth every second.I'd attach pictures but it's over 90 degrees today and I just got home. I'll try to add something in the future once my face isn't so red and sweaty.10/10...Would keep commuting for this cut.read more

If you live in Astoria/LIC area head to Otis & Finn for a sick haircut and glass of bourbon. My barber, Dot, always comes through with the best haircuts - her level of skill along with her perfectionist nature makes for one dope haircut - I always get compliments on my cuts from Dot. 5 stars all around, great barbers, great atmosphere and zero judgement from barbers or patrons. Love it here!read more

I work near there and needed a last minute haircut. Sara took me with hair product and all. My hair was being difficult but ultimately she balanced out my growing hair that was a mess and long in the back. She took her time and evened it all out thanks.read more

Today, was my first time at the Otis and Finn on 44th in LIC and I was more than elated with my experience. It's always a daunting experience trying a new barber/hair stylist for the first time, but Sara Levin came through in the clutch. From the very start, Sara was welcoming, effervescent, and most important.. a professional barber. Every step she took was calculated, but not forced. She never let me leave the hot seat until we were both satisfied with the end product - my great haircut! I look forward to returning in the future and I will gladly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a sophisticated look. 10/10 service.read more

Sara Levin is a great hairdresser. I had long hair (to shoulders) which I wanted cut to a reasonably short length and in a stylish manner. She look her time to make sure the end product was just right. It was worth the wait. She is very professional and I strongly recommend.read more

I had a great experience here. Sara cut my hair and she was so fun. At first I was going for a different haircut, but then we played around with my hair and I dared to get a shorter pixie. I love it so much, and feel like the shape works well with my head shape. I love feeling the buzzed hair in the back. You can definitely tell Sara loves what she does. Definitely recommend for a good haircut and funread more

I’ve been coming here for about a year, and have always had the best experience.Everyone on the staff is friendly, and welcoming, and they all seem to genuinely enjoy each other’s company.I always book Light. Light was the first person to work with me here, and if it ain’t broke then why fix it? And it’s faaaar from broke. Light’s awesome.I’ve entrusted Light (under my instruction) to push the “limit” of of my standard fade (this is a relative statement as my “limit” is likely very different than someone reading this).My point is that I’ve trusted them to try some marginally new things for ME, and always been delighted with the result!If you’re on the fence about coming here, jump it, the grass is greener.read more

Love this place, been coming here for years, they always welcome you with a smile, and are great at helping me figure out what to do with my hair since I'm basically useless. Currently, Dot has been my go-to! She's fantastic, kind, and really attentive to what I say I like and don't like with each cut. I've loved every cut she gave me and would highly recommend her. Note that she generally works at the other (LIC) location, but does have some hours here as well.read more

Recent first time customer speaking here. Paolo was professional, friendly, detailed, and thorough! After I explained my usual haircut, he even provided small recommendations based on my head shape and also asked if there was anything I didn't like / wanted to change midway through the cut. Was in the chair slightly longer than expected but again, it's because Paolo was being detail-oriented for a first time customer who also made small requests during the cut. I'm only bringing this up not as a complaint, but to testify that he (along with the rest of the barbers I'm sure) will take the time to make sure you're satisfied with your haircut as opposed to having you in and out as quickly as possible like other barbershops. Would've been nice to get an aftershave spray after such a fresh fade but great experience regardless.Spacious and clean shop with nice interior, will definitely be coming back!Bonus: they seemed to be dog-friendly or maybe they were the barbers' dogs but it was fun to watch pups living their best life while you're doing the same.read more

I visited this space for a private party after the barbershop closed ** so this is NOT A REVIEW OF THEIR SERVICES **. I also did not meet the owner(s) or staff.I loved the venue, decor, and overall vibes. The unique pig theme, Basquiat crown, graffiti wall and Dolly Parton references looked cool in the dim light.The crowned pig mural made an excellent backdrop for the cake and photos. It felt like an homage to the hiphop/graffiti scene that once defined LIC (remember Five Pointz?).The pineapple-wallpapered bathroom was spacious enough it could possibly accommodate a wheelchair but I am not sure since the door felt a bit narrow.Their barbershop rates, merch, and products were still on display so I included pictures for reference. They have steep prices, some almost double the cost for the service in general. That said, this wasn't a trip to the barber so I can't assess whether it's worth the expense. Hopefully it is.Overall, the room acoustics, decor, and wide open floorplan made for a perfect night of dancing. I truly hope they host more things and moonlight as an event space!read more

Let’s be clear - I’ve been to over 50 hair cutters throughout NYC of varying prices. Not only is O&F exceptional at what they do, the customer service is top notch. I’ve had cuts from 6 different barbers in my time going there, and all have exceeded my expectations. You are always treated as a regular regardless of who you are. They are also a deep part of the community. If you are early or there is an inconvenience, they’ll refer you to a local business and you’ll be treated as a guest (I’ve gotten free beverages at two establishments because of O&Fs presence in the neighborhood). As precisely as I can put it: O&F is the real Olive Garden. When you’re here you’re family.read more
