How did you find your barber in Manhattan?
I have bounced between several barbers in the city, never really finding one that meets what I'm looking for. I have had my shit absolutely fucked more than once.
I have longer hair and need to find someone who can just clean things up for maintenance and doesnt default to a fucking high fade. I'm sure there is a communication issue on my part but I want to find someone familiar with my hair style.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but growing up my dad always cut my hair so I'm lost out here.
Barber recs in Manhattan for someone with more of a flow style? Barbers? Salons? etc.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, finding the right barber or salon in Manhattan for your specific needs can be a challenge, but there are a few strategies and recommendations to consider:
Barber vs. Salon: If you have longer hair and are looking for someone to maintain a "flow style" without defaulting to a high fade, you might want to lean towards a salon rather than a traditional barber. Salons often have stylists who are more experienced with longer hairstyles and can provide tailored advice on maintenance.
Consultation is Key: Communication is crucial. When you visit a new barber or stylist, be clear about what you want. Bring reference photos if possible, and explain that you're looking for maintenance rather than a drastic change. Mention explicitly that you want to avoid a high fade.
Recommendations from WSO Threads: While specific names of barbers or salons aren't directly mentioned in the WSO threads, users often emphasize the importance of finding someone who can consult on what works best for your hair type and face shape. This might mean trying a few places until you find the right fit.
Manhattan Options: While no specific barbershops or salons are listed in the WSO dataset, the general advice is to look for places that specialize in men's grooming but also cater to longer hairstyles. Salons in areas like SoHo or the Upper East Side might be worth exploring, as they often have stylists experienced with diverse hair types and styles.
If you're still struggling, consider asking for recommendations from colleagues or friends who have a similar hair type or style.

Bump.
I've been having the same issue. My hair is pretty wavy and I have weird cowlicks. I went to Skullfade barbers in Fidi once, didn't like it. I went to HairBeCa in Tribeca once, didn't like. I saw a guy at Barba Grooming in Chelsea about 4 times but it was way too expensive. There was a guy at Made Man Barbershop in Greenwich Village who I liked, but once my hair grew a bit longer, I don't think he new how to handle it. My last haircut was at Haar & Co in the West Village, which was fine, just expensive too.
Chelsea Barbers on 23rd and 10th or Edy Barber across the street from the Empire State are both excellent. The former is a bit more expensive.
