From the Files
Pictured: a Sunday morning walk-in. The chair empties out, the clippers come down off the camo Babyliss mat, and the next guy gets called up by name.
"I stopped by on a random Sunday and Leo took me as a walk-in. I get a skin fade and I'm telling you I always walk out looking sharp, everything blended and no bumps."

Pulled verbatim from Google's Places API. Below are four consecutive five-star reviews from regulars and first-timers, with the kind of detail people only write when they actually meant it.
"I'm very thankful for finding Leo and this barbershop. I stopped by on a random Sunday, and Leo took me as a walk-in. I get a skin fade and I'm telling you I always walk out looking sharp, everything blended and no bumps. Everyone in the barbershop is welcoming, seen people of all ages, kids to seniors and everyone walks out looking fresh. Highly recommended."
"I must say I'm super picky about my hair but my guy LEO he's by far and it's not even close, the BEST Barber in LES. I'm so grateful to have found such an awesome barber and a new friend who not only offers TOP NOTCH services but the environment feels like family. Like you are right at home. I highly recommend this shop. You will NOT be disappointed."
"Excellent service. They met my needs and treated me like family (it was my first time there). They got a new customer and I finally found my new barber after a 3 year search. Thanks Leo."
"Best barbershop in Manhattan. They give top-quality haircuts and are extremely attentive to detail. Have recommended them to several of my friends and would highly encourage anyone looking for a great barbershop and even better haircut experience to check them out!"
