Reviews of On the Mark Barber Shop (Barber Shop)

Max Chanoch

Best haircut in the neighborhood. Good vibes too. No matter your style they know how to do it right. Make a resso online or pop in, they are accomodating. It can get real busy towards the weekend. They also have beers and whisky for patrons.

Robert M [Robin] Thompson

Great, friendly vibe in the shop. Mark sets the tone of the place and he's got it down perfectly. Have gotten cuts from 4 different barbers there. Never disappointed. Ian is now my regular guy - excellent. Cut is less than $20! Photos I've seen on the web make the outside of the shop look like a dump in a slum. Must be very old pics b/c neither are even close to being true.

Excellent haircut!! Nick cut cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. I Will be back. Not bad for 26 doll hairs.

After Covid-19 took its toll on the city, and everyone's hair, I was a bit unsure about where I'd get a haircut after so many months, and, frankly, what style I'd get. I'm not into a very fussy, salon-type experience that consumes an hour+ of your time & charges a fortune. At the same time I didn't want to sacrifice quality. I'd walked by this place several times and the space looked clean, chic and friendly. I decided to give it a shot, feeling a bit nervous on the way. My anxiety disappeared the moment I sat down with one of the barbers. I shared my thoughts on what I wanted to have done and he threw some ideas back at me. What followed was a really comfortable and positive experience which, to top it off, was nowhere near as expensive as it could have been. I loved my haircut and walked away feeling glad that I chose to go there. If you're feeling the way I did, trust me, you're in good hands. This is my definition of a well-done business.

Great haircut and excellent value!

Daneyal Mahmood

Really good barbershop. It's very popular for obvious reasons, so depending on who you want to cut your hair, you might have to make an appoint a few days in advance. If you don't have preference you can probably walk in. They are pretty consistently good, I've had a few guys cut my hair there.

Been going here for years. Got a haircut from Arthur that was spot on. Ask for the Arthur special next time you go

Meijun Cai

This spot is THE SPOT, esp if you got asian hair. They know what they are doing. Super chill dudes and great vibe. And super affordable.

Jason Rueda

Outstanding service. They are fast, professional, friendly, and at a great price. I personally go to Leo who does an exceptional job. Everyone in their is fantastic. Well worth going to.

Jonah

Haircut was pretty rushed. Back of my neck was increasingly sore on the way home. Come to find out the edges were done very sloppily and my neck was cut pretty badly. Going to take a few days before I have this giant red slice on my neck go away. Very disappointed.

Michael Cruz

My go-to place when I'm in Manhattan. Price is average for Manhattan, but the haircuts are nice and well done, if you like a very clean-cut look.

Jack Phelan

Great haircut, great price and quick, no waiting! Thanks Eli

Kayen Montes

had an amazing haircut by mark. very attentive to detail. also, great saloon, music and attention!

Alex Walkowski

One of the best barbershops in Manhattan. For $35 you get a fresh cut and beard trim, they really listen and know what they're doing. I came in very ignorant about clipper sizes and they helped guide me through what to ask for next time and even gave me a touch up a week before my wedding to make sure everything was fresh. They also opened a new location across the Avenue which is much nicer and very open. Happy to have found my spot.

Perfect

I got into NYC for a 2-week summer course at NYU, and had limited time to get a haircut and beard trim while around. I read that Izze does good fades, so I signed up for a cut and beard trim. He did really great work, and he also hit all parts of what I needed: crisp fade, solid beard trim, and even scissor cutting my longer hair on top. Even lined up everything with the blade too. He got a lot of this done in the allotted time, so I appreciated that. Nice vibe in the shop and easy to sign up for appointments. Reasonable prices too.

Daniel Kaminski

Been coming here for years, only place I go.

Nikhil Alaigh

always a good experience getting a haircut here. wouldn't go anywhere else for a tape up

Philip Escobedo

Been going here for a few years now. Guys are funny, and I have never left with a haircut I was doubtful about. $24 for a cut at the time of writing this, but so worth it. They spend a LOT of time on you to make sure you're perfect.

Sam Feldman

I came in off the street and into a well lit and modern decorated barbershop. There were four barbers hard at work when I arrived on Friday night, and there were several guys waiting to get their hair cut. This was a good sign. Upbeat techno music and movies playing on the TVs helped the wait passby quickly. There were also plenty of magazines available. I had my hair cut by Roman, who was friendly and great to chat with. It was awesome to share the Russian Jew connection, so we spent the entire time chatting in Russian about the immigrant experience, growing up in the US and the joys of Jewish moms. My cut was precisely executed and neat. I never do anything complicated, but I could tell that from the other guys the barbers can handle any mens cut you throw at them. A straightedge neck shave rounded out the experience. Perfectly priced at $17. I highly recommend it.

Patrick Munson

I’ve been to countless barbers in NYC and very few are as good as On the Mark. The haircuts are always very good & consistent, and you can’t beat the prices. They also have a really easy reservation system which makes it great to schedule an appointment. All my friends go here, too.

morgan mabe

I moved to the city and spent months trying to find a place to get a quality and affordable haircut, I finally did. The wait was short, the haircut was fast but at the same time he still maintained attention. UPDATE: I still go here 5 years later and its still just as good.

Brian McGuinness

My brother and I go to Eli.. great cut and reasonable price.

jeffrey blum

Quick and always stylish! A go to place if you want a refresh

Matthew Trant

Every chair is a solid cut or shave. Been going here for 3 years and haven't been let down once.

Chris Mullarkey

Mark is always on the mark.

Kai Kang

Top tier cuts for men at medium tier prices. Great value, cool vibe, great service, free liquor. What's not to like?

Gareth Lema

I had a great haircut by Michael. I walked in on a rare day that I had an extra minute...and I was also desperate for a haircut. This might be the best cut I've had since moving to NYC 3 years ago. I figure I'll be back but for an appointment next time.

Chanelle Alyssa

On the Mark Barber Shop always provides a lovely experience for a hair cut. Izzy was particularly accommodating. Listened to my concerns and wants and delivered the exact hair cut I was looking for. He even cut my hair slowly to ensure he only cut as much off as I liked. This place will become my go to place for the perfect hair cut.

Ibaad Khan

Usher is the man — gave me an amazing haircut while providing exceptional service overall. Highly recommend these guys.

Yoav Helfman

great fast haircut. good vibe. the pricing is on point. best shop in EV

Kyle Hamilton

My #1 Barber Shop in NYC. Can’t beat a haircut & beardtrim for $35 I would recommend booking an appointment online through their website to avoid a long wait.

Christian Arichabala

My go-to barber shop for almost 10 years. Talented barbers, great atmosphere, and Mark himself is true professional.

Hörmetjan Yiltiz

Hair messed up

Eva Yaa Asantewaa

I haven't had my haircut in years but decided to try this shop today. When I arrived there were several men either being worked on or waiting. As a woman, I sometimes find barber shops initially intimidating. Not this one. Not only is it conveniently located and inexpensive but the atmosphere is calm and efficient. And Al gave me a lovely haircut in no time! I would happily go back again.

Chad Jens

Just being in the shop makes you feel cool. I went in for a beard trim while growing out my hair, but after seeing the cuts they were giving I almost abandoned the man bun. Beard turned out great, too. Looking forward to checking it out again the next time I'm in NYC.

nir zohar

The best in MANHATTAN! Very clean and accurate.

Angel Valladares

Great barbers, never wait too long, always have a good cut and you get a shot at the end! Also it’s cash only so don’t forget or they have an atm

James Cropcho

David does an excellent job giving me a straight-razor shave each Friday, all the while preserving and cultivating my sideburns. He is also accommodating and friendly. Zooming out, the barbershop as a whole is clean and welcoming (but not too welcoming, ha—you New Yorkers know what I'm talking about…). On the Mark Barbershop is a place I don't at all mind going weekly, and when I leave the ladies certainly don't mind my immaculate mug.

Steve McCarron

Go-to place for a great haircut. Success and expansion are proof of a great product/service.

Dan Gordon

These guys can only cut hair for guys that are going to the Jersey Shore. If you are not one of those guys, stay away from this shop.

Abu Barrie (ABBarrie88)

Great place. Fair price and the barbers are nice.

Max P

Barber. Hilarious guys who give consistently good haircuts. What more could you want?

Aaron Hellman

Great dudes, super fast and good haircut. Be sure to make an appt but they take walk ins

Eli Showalter

After trying a lot of different barbers in the EV I’ve been going here for 3.5 years, even after I moved to the west side. Cut my hair with Eli for a while until he moved away and now Mark takes really great care of me. You can make an appointment on their website really easily. Great shop.

peter dizozza

shave and a haircut

John H

My barber is Albert, highly recommend.

Faisal Mithavayani

This barber shop is fantastic! The guys here are super talented and really neat with their work. They're also nice guys to chat with and keep a really good vibe within the shop. Their prices are also pretty good compared to other more expensive barbers in the area. Great place overall!

Weston Krukow

I walked right in and David Nisanov saved my previous haircut. Cleaned it up, knew exactly what I was looking for, and worked incredibly fast. This one is going to grow out beautifully.

Eric M.

Great little place. I have very straight hair and have had issues in the past with barbers, but am very happy with Eli's work. He's pleasant, relaxed, and most importantly, consistent!

(Translated) Yes spot! (Original) Da spot!

Sharan Shetty

These guys are the best.

muzammil ali

My favorite barbershop in nyc. They are affordable and they know how to cut hairs ???? also free shots ????????

Ahsan Uddin

This place is THE place to go if you're looking for a nice quaint place that always has high clientele volume. It's like that for a reason - the barbers there are great guys that strive to cut your hair to your desire. They're also a group of down to Earth guys that are always willing to chat. The prices are fair, and the service is great. Call in ahead and try to schedule something if you're going during the weekends so as to avoid the long wait that they usually have. You really won't regret getting your hair cut here!

Matt Forrest

Definitely get a good haircut here but there is almost always a line and no system to handle the folks in line. Good cut but definitely be prepared to wait.

Anant Choxi

I've been living in NYC for nearly 3 years and every time I needed a cut I would always need to go find a new place. FINALLY after so long I can safely say that this place is my new go to! I've been getting my hair cut with Nick for the past year and he's the best! I'm so glad I finally got a barber in NYC that I can go to every time

James Mainiero

Super hit or miss. Don’t dont walk in and get the rookies.

Andrew Christopher Hanna

Been going here for years, they have recently changed locations 2 blocks away :) beautiful new location!

Enrique NYC Madrid

Very nice people, professional work, great price.

Skyler Christian A. Cruz

I love this place. The guys are nice. The haircuts are affordable. The quality of service is top notch. They even give you a hot towel for your face before they shave you... for like $20 you get the full service! They do shape ups, tape ups, fades.. you name it.

John Os

I won't recommend this barber shop to people who want a good service regarding their haircut. If you are looking just for a basic haircut then you can go there. If you want more in detail and you want a particular type of haircut then you shouldn't go there.

Robert Wesley Mason

Fantastic spot. I needed a haircut ASAP and my regular barber was out of town. My brother in law suggested this spot. Walked right in with no appointment and was seen immediately by the dynamic, warm, and friendly Izze. Beautiful cut and he trimmed up my beard which was in desperate need of shaping. Might need to switch barbers to this spot. And that complimentary shot...nice. Thanks y’all!

Charles Kollmar

Best cut in town!

Benjamin Liu

Awesome place, great barbers

Hamilton Greene

My go-to place for cuts. Ask for Asher, he'll get you.

Peter Heidrich

No better spot

Ben Hsu

normally I’m apprehensive about going somewhere without Asian barbers, but these guys are phenomenal. Mark turned the thick shaggy mess on my head into a haircut that I truly, truly love. also - incredible value. I never write google reviews, so seriously get your hair cut here.

Chris Guyot

I’ve been getting my hair cut here for almost 5 years. Everyone is extremely talented and the vibe of the shop is perfect. One of the best in the city hands down.

Rochan Kakar

If you are looking for a great haircut look no where else. I am a customer since two years and haven’t been disappointed ever. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. My regular barber is Nick and he is awesome. Highly recommend this place.

Ryan Williams

Rude.

Mark Anthony Basa

Who says no to a shot of whiskey?

Jordan Tranchina

A wonderful hometown barbershop charging reasonable prices for a haircut. Current rate I believe is $28.00. I've been coming here for nearly 2 years and have sat with Mark nearly every time. He's almost always ready for me at my reserved time +/- 5mins, which is great. Important note: it's cash only, they likely don't take venmo but have not confirmed that. They've got an ATM inside the shop though it does charge a service fee. There's also a Bank Of America ATM a few avenues over, and Mark always accommodates me running to it after a haircut when I find myself without cash. Get a reservation online if you can, and use Mark! Great place, highly recommended!

David Kahn

I'd always go to this shop when I was in Manhattan, even though it was on the opposite side of the island. Great barbers here, never had a bad one so I never felt the need to wait for a specific barber!

Navneet Singh

These guys know how to cut hair. Been coming here for years. Reliable and fresh.

Felipe Jardel Saldaña

Fast and great haircut

Jorge Erick Tua

Great experience. Mike was very detailed when cutting my hair. He listened to what I wanted and even made sugggestions to improve my hairstyle. Definitely going back again.

Jodi Kule

Great Barber shop. All the guys who cut hair are very professional and very nice.

Christopher Mahon

These guys always do an amazing job. They're the only ones I trust.

H nL

Not too bad

imran hashmi

This is regarding the previous review about "eli" I walked in there after reading a review and saw the only negative was about him, I hoped I wouldn't get him but with my luck guess who I got? Anyways I want to tell you that he was professional, courteous, and attentive. He made sure I was okay with everything he was doing, not forgetting to hand me my glasses! He cut my hair, shaved my face and washed me after my only regret is that on a 50 dollar tab I only tipped him 10. He deserved more but that's all I had! If you ever read this eli, I'm that guy from queens who moved to st louis!

HYEON MU JANG

Nice haircut only with 22dollars in cash

Dominic Facchini

Been coming here since I moved from Boston for 6+ months. Albert is a professional and always gives a clean cut. Izze gives the best fade in NYC no doubt about it. 10/10 would recommend.

Uri Lov

The best haircut I've ever received was from Roman. He's literally the only barber I trust with my hair. I'm super particular and with Roman I don't need to be anxious. I truly feel like I leave the chair 10x sexier than when I came in. Not trying to gas him up or anything, but he's worth the time and money. Plus he ends the cut right with a shot, get on his good side. He's a gentleman's gentleman, and his cuts, service, and courtesy reflect as such. Barber for life.

Abraham Esfandiary

Great barbershop I don't let anyone else cut my hair!

Jim Verdi

Great guys and even better haircuts

Daniel Ethan Gromis

This place is amazing. If you're a guy and want a noticeably sharp haircut , go here! Special shout out to David - I have very coarse, curly hair, and for years have not been happy with my cuts, but this guy is like Michelangelo Buonarroti with shears, blade, and buzzers. I sit down, and he turns the difficult marble on my head into a masterpiece. EVERY single time I go to him, multiple people mention, unprompted, how nice my hair looks. Most of my friends group now goes to different barbers there and we're not only happy, we look fresh.

Jesse Wu

Mark cut my hair today. He showed great attention to detail and improved my old hair style. He also explained how he cut my hair step by step. Overall, I had a great time with Mark, and would recommend others to swing by his barber shop as well.

Yahaira Roque

My son loved it. The barber listened to what he wanted. Great job!

Caleb Schuiteman

On the Mark has a great atmosphere with talented barbers. Mark knew exactly what I wanted and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Thor Swetnam

Great to find a place that has an array of great barbers. Clean and nice shop.

Paul Fiteni

# going for over 7 years..got ready for my wedding here!

Andrew Nguyen

Mark always does a great job! Been going to him for almost 10 years.

Eric Levy

A true hidden gem down in the East Village. Mark gives a great haircut and has created a nice, welcoming environment for all of his clientele. Can't recommend On the Mark enough!

Albert Stashin

Fast service and quality work

Robert Sebastian

Had my hair "cut" by Eli. He was quick to rush me in and out of his chair seemed more interested in chatting to his friends than paying attention. Don't be deceived by the "professional" scissor holster he wears and his own manicured look. This kid knows nothing about cutting hair and even less about manners. He needs to go back to barber school and maybe someone can teach him some kind of proper barber chair manner as well. Wasn't worth the $17 + tip at all. Next time I'll go back to my old place and spend the worthwhile $30 and have my haircut correctly and in a friendly manner.

Graham S

Walked in looking like a caveman, without an appointment. Walked out looking like a caveman, with a great haircut. I will definitely be a regular customer.

chambebk

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and the closest shave I’ve ever had.

B Mist

Maybe the other guys are good but mine was sloppy and rude. He couldn't even be bothered to move around my head, he just spun me around 180° in chair. He was also on a video call at the same time and just forces your head around with his hands all over your face. At the end he tried rushing me off, I had to ask him just to get a view of the back of my head with the hand mirror. Ok haircut, but terrible service. Dont go here when there're so many better barbers in NYC.

Guillermo Vanegas Jr

Great haircuts and great atmosphere. I highly recommend Eli or Mark.

D Fitmachine

Seriously every barber is incredible! I’ve been going here for over 5 years and have tried other shops only to come back to On The Mark to fix it! The speed and quality of cut is exactly what I asked for and the barbers listen! I bring friends and they ALWAYS leave feeling better than when the came in

Daniel Velez

Great haircuts for men by expert cutters who understand street trends and know how to adjust styles for particular head types. They'll give you good tips or suggestions if you ask for them.

Michael L

I went to On the Mark in hopes of getting a better haircut than my last barber. I was not disappointed! David gave me the best haircut I’ve ever gotten. I’ve been to 10+ barbers in NYC and he is by far the best. I had a few issues with my prior barber’s cut and he fixed them all with ease. My hair looks better than ever. Thanks David????

Cecilio Medina

Amazing service and great people...

Josh M

Great place for cut and shave, cool guys good chat.

Dean Page

Great barber shop, really friendly guys and fantastic service - you even get a complimentary shot whilst you get your cut done. Check them out! Asher hooked me up ????

Matthew DeFeligibus

Amazing service

Nazim Amin

This place recommends appointments, but they take walk-ins too. Mark did an amazing job and I totally loved my new haircut. Not only that, he's a great person to talk to as well. Overall, A+ experience and I'm definitely visiting this place again.

Alexander Markiewicz

Best barber shop in the city.

Christopher Martinez

Usher was really cool started genuine conversation with me but most importantly the haircut was fire ????????????. Definitely recommend this shop and Usher. I’m on my way to him now, why aren’t you?

Brandon Smith

Great NYC barbershop, good people, good vibes. Arthur gives one of the best cuts out there. Highly recommend

Will Bancroft

My friend Troy recommended OTM to me. I turned up at 7pm on a Mon night, the place was packed. They turnover the seats v fast though. Good music, friendly atmosphere and guys talking and chatting as they wait for their cut. There's even a bar. Albert did a top job on my hair. V happy with the results, service and experience. Definitely going back. I've found, at last, a proper men's barber in NYC. You should try them out if you haven't found your right barber yet!
