Aidan Gill For Men

Great experience, and a great cut by Ashley! I have recently switched over to seeing her from my regular barber, and appreciate the attentive services and fantastic cut. I’ve never had as many compliments on my hair! Settle in with checking some great products, and enjoying a complimentary coffee or beverage, and finish leaving a refreshed man! I recommend this place, and Ashley, to my friends and family!

Worth every penny! Going to a barber shop that does shaves has been on my list of things I’ve wanted to experience for a long time. Ashley was absolutely fantastic! I will keep coming back.

Picture this, I’m set to inherit 1 million dollars from my uptight grandfather. There is only one stipulation. Yep, you guessed it. I had to get a hair cut so that I no longer looked like a hippie. Thankfully I knew someone with the skill and technique to bring these dreaded tresses under control. Regina at Aiden Gill was my only hope. She expertly and professionally cut my hair to such a standard that I didn’t even recognize myself. I secured my inheritance and Regina secured a lifelong customer. Next time you’re in New Orleans drop in on her. Tell them Mike sent you and pay full price.

Aidan Gill is a gentleman’s paradise. From hair products to dirty jokes books’ they have it all. The hot towel shaves are the best. Lastly, my barber Ashly is the absolute best. Cuts a very tight fade, and works with me on changing the style up. Highly recommend seeing her, she knows what she’s doing.

Amazing shop and hard to come by. Everything you need for men grooming and more. Impressive collection of old to antique pieces. Barber shop at the back.

I will start out with: I didn’t get a cut but was told about their extensive historical barbershop artifacts. My beautiful wife and I stopped by and was pleasantly surprised to see quite a collection of antique barbering equipment. We were met by a very nice lady who very graciously and proudly showed off the displayed antiques. If ever you are in the area and have more than a few minutes you should definitely stop by to admire the collection and while you do that be sure to review the extensive products for sale in there while you are at it. I would definitely enjoy a one on one with the owner/collector if ever the opportunity arose. I am an out of towner but the next time I am through I will definitely make sure my hair is longer so I can sit in the antique barber chair and get my hair cut. Though they won’t do the place and the antiques real justice check out these pics.

I’ve gotten my haircut by Regina and it’s been fantastic. She spends just the right amount of time on my hair and I’ve been happy with the results.

Beautiful little barber shop with so many different supplies for men. From razors to lotions and more. Many beautiful older artifacts from different time periods as well on display. And the aroma coming from inside the store. With wonderful smells from the products.

Went there today on the fly. What an amazing place! And the beard trim was perfect! The gentleman that owns the place is a treasure!

My new favorite barbershop. I moved to a different part of the city and was checking out other barbershops when I finally made an appointment at Aidan Gill. I'd heard about it, it's been around for a while, but I never went. I wish I did. This place is what I want. I'm tired of the overly hipster, loud guy talking barbershops that are now a dime a dozen. I want a place that doesn't try so hard and where the barbers don't say stupid offensive things that everyone can here. I want a place that's classy, comfortable, and the haircuts and beard shaves are top notch. My hair looks great, my beard is sharp, my wife is all over me now, and I bought a pair of socks and aftershave balm. What more could you ask for? Treat yourself. Go early, get a drink. Check out one of their books on style or how to be a Gentleman. It's almost like a barber's museum inside so give yourself some time. And they know how to cut hair.

This is an excellent place to find gifts for the man in your life. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I was looking for beard oil and didn't see any on the shelves so I asked about. The lady explained to me that they actually use the shave oil on beards in the barber shop, so that's what I went with. Can't really comment on the product yet because it's still under the tree. They do have testers of most of their products so you can get an idea of what you are purchasing. The cologne's smell so good! Think I'll be going back to buy some, I'd even wear them myself. Great experience!

I would highly recommend visiting this retail establishments on Magazine. The decor is like a museum to the art of shaving with a wall of antique razors and vintage chairs. They have great shaving creams, lotions, and soaps for men. If you need a neck tie, pair of patterned socks, or a book on cocktails, they have a little something for everyone. You can get a hair cut or shave as there is a barbershop in the back half of the store. The people are super friendly and provide solid advice on products, and NOLA in general.

I love the old school feel of Aidan's barbershop. The memorabilia alone is worth a look. However, you will be drawn to the vintage chairs, and you will stay for the great shave and a haircut. You might get lucky and learn the history behind the barber pole, one of the oldest trade symbols still in use today.

Just down here in New Orleans for the Memphis vs Tulane Basketball game. So if you are in town for any reason and you are a man then YOU got to go in this place. You probably should make a reservation. Do yourself a favor and ask for Danita. Tell her you want a shave. Oh MY. You want a shave. They take you back put you in an old barbers chair. Just close your eyes and let her do her magic. First the hot oil. Then hot towels. Back in forth getting your skin and stubble ready for what is to come. Then the shave. Then the hot towels. Then more shave. Then more hot towel and then the cold towel. You will walk out a new man! What a great experience. This is a great place to be a man!!! If you have lost your man card you can go pick it back up at Aiden Gill's

We stumbled into this lovely museum and barber shop. So glad we did. Great product line and lots of cool history. Next time I'll be ready for a shave and a haircut!

I love this place!!! Ladies if your look to treat that special man in your life, well this is most certainly it !! May be tad pricey but I can reassure you it's most worth it...I mean after all do we expect the best from our loved ones well it's time to show your love and appreciation. They have the most excited and clean scents and products and everything from fine leather good travels to unique shavers and brushes. I can continue to brag about this place but you will have to experience this place for your self!!! Dis I meant ion there's a barbershop? When they sit on that barber char they will feel like an good old fashion clean shave back in the 1940's they have some products are important from Europe. When they uses they scents are unique and had to find so that special guy will not smell like no one else ...not strong just a hint of elegance!! It's been an honor Chef CC

We saw Aidan today by chance as me and my husband needed last minute haircuts for our ceremony. He was nice enough to talk with us for almost thirty minutes and get us booked in later that evening, doing us a favor. As always me and my partner came out looking fresh, dapper and clean. Rick did my hair, and Frankie did PriceWe both highly recommend this barbers, all the staff are unique and so friendly. Very queer friendly, cool place that I will continue to return to.

A visit to Aidan, for me, is the highlight of my week. From setting my appointment and being greeted by David, to my cut and trim with Franky, to the dry honesty and humor of Aidan, every time I leave, I feel happy and relaxed; which is a rarity for me. My visits to AG are more productive and effective than all the therapy i have sought in the past two decades.

This place is extremely sexist and homophobic. My girlfriend came in to check it out because we wanted to get a fade before we head to a wedding on Halloween. The floor man who was bald and with glasses, not only refused us service but also assumed we were there for ourselves before even letting us brows Incase we were shopping for male relatives and butted into our conversation to ask if we knew we were in a 'mens' barber shop. I am truly offended and i do not recommend this place to anyone of any sort of minority.

Archaic and sexist from the brown haired woman who belittled me in front of my boyfriend when I wanted to sit in the barber shop and rudely told me I wasn't allowed in that area. I told my boyfriend she was very rude to me and to meet me when he was done. So I left preventing me from throwing a cologne bottle at her. After his cut and shave we noticed that the barber missed an area in the front of his head! I went in with my boyfriend and they didn't apologize and came out with a drink for HIM and didn't even offer me a drop of water. I turned to my boyfriend and said "I hate this place" and walked out the door again. He got his hair fixed but said the barber was a young pompous douche bag. I hate this place.

This is a man shop but I love to buy soap here for myself. I love this shop even though its for for men. If I find out that someone I know is going to get their haircut I find an excuse to go with them so that I can smell the soap. Entering Aidan Gill is like going through a time warp. So classic. The men wear bow ties, which is adorable and dandy and they are all so nice. I also was told AG was voted best barber shop in the US by Playboy. Growl!

Parking is easier here than at the other Adian Gill over by Harrah's Casino. This place is also the original of the two. Space-wise it's bigger and has a more "old-school" feel. Whereas two guy barbers cut your hair here, at the other one there are pretty female stylists who cut your hair. Here too they offer you a drink - water, soda, tea, beer, etc - and there are "manly" magazines left around for your browsing pleasure. Again, I think it's a bit crass to read a Playboy in public, but to each their own. As for the quality of the haircut, I must say I was happier with my cut here than at the other Adian Gill. My barber was a bit too chatty for my taste, only because I felt he wasn't able to gauge how interested I was in our line of conversation. But on the whole he gave a great cut. Ultimately I don't know if the cost of the experience was worth it - basically $50 for a cut if you include tip, but if you don't mind paying that amount, Adian Gill is certainly quality.

34 check-ins @ roughly $50 a trip = $1700 over the past 2 years. Now 1 Star. It not the concept. Its not the haircut. Its not the service. Its Aidan. I returned time and time again. Never batting an eyelash at the (arguably) overpriced service I received. I came back because of your excellent staff. They knew what they were doing and they did it well. Now where are they? Jeremy? Sarah? Shelby? Nathan? You lose them, you lose me, Aidan. Greed has gotten the best of you. You charge me $40 for a cut and now want to only pay them $8 for said cut? They then quit or get fired when asking for honest pay? I will take my business elsewhere. Looking forward to the opening of The Bearded Lady in October. It will be healthy for you to have some competition on the block. Maybe bring a little modesty your way as well. Surely won't bring any of my cash your way.

I was told this a must so of course I came.... I had a great experience even after reading some of the previous reviews. I ended up getting the shave.... 7 hot towels and continuous soothing products applied. Thank god for this! I went in with a proper beard that has not been removed in like 5 months. I have never had such a smooth shave and I would be delighted to do this again. Staff is great. Very hipster/old school atmosphere Oh yea free beer after your shave. I think that is enough. A little pricey but worth it. If I lived in New Orleans I would do the shave once a month

The last time I went, there was a scheduling issue. They actually had booked me one week in the future. Yet no one figured this out until halfway through my haircut, when the person who was actually booked for that time showed up (late, I might add). They made me feel terrible for the mistake, as if I was intentional in showing up at the wrong time and refusing to consider that it may have been their fault in the scheduling error. Their work is good, but all I can say is confirm all appointments.

Great haircut, amazing shave and just a superb experience overall! Donita was phenomenal!!

The experience was ok until the lady doing my shave, Francesca, gave me a rub down and asked if I could use anything else to make the shave better followed by a note with her number on it saying party favors and more with a heart. Appalled at the gesture, I notified the business and the woman who answered, Kathleen said "they won't discuss it". Real classy. BEWARE!

My wife purchased a gift certificate for my 70th birthday to get a shave and products. I keep getting a run around trying to make an appointment for the shave. I've had a beard for the last 15 years and about to return the gift card and shave myself. Let's see if I ever hear back about a shave appointment!

This place is nothing shorter than absolutely phenomenal. They have excellent service and their staff are very knowledgeable and personable. I have been here multiple times from 13 years old to 20 years old and every time they treat you as if you're the president of the United States. Fortunately enough you won't come out orange or with a bad shave or hair cut. The gentleman that shaves you has more then enough experience to make your barber at home look like a baby holding a razor blade. As well as the kind lady that cuts your hair, a very friendly and talkative person you would not mind talking to for hours. The price is definitely more than fair for the quality and amount of work they do to make you look good. If you're visiting New Orleans or want to know a good place to get your haircut and a shave, I would definitely visit Aidan Gill for Men.

The cut here wasn't amazing or at least not what I expected but the atmosphere was really cool. I will say that you pay more for the atmosphere then the cut but its still cool. Lizzy is really friendly and loves talking about anything you could possibly want to talk about. With your $40.00 cut you can get a complimentary beer but they also have water and soda for the non alcohol drinkers.

Not five minutes ago I entered this establishment and had this exchange, word for word, with the lady at the counter. "Do you have any appointments available for today?" "For you?" "Yes." "I'm sorry, no. We only do men." "But I want a men's haircut." "Yes, I'm sorry, but we only cut men's hair." I am shocked and disturbed at this queer-phobic, trans-phobic policy. I am only happy that I didn't buy anything before I realized this company's disgraceful policy of discrimination. In such a supportive city, this type of behavior should not be allowed to persist.

So there's this place that exists on Magazine St where just walking inside, you'll instantly grow hair on your chest and feel like chopping down a tree. Yes, you heard me! Aidan Gill is a speciality store dedicated to the manliest of men that is completely stocked with various items to help you become a proper gentleman. A wide range of shavers, brushes, creams, & shaving accessories to keep your facial hair inline. There is also an incredibly wide range of colognes available that'll you make you smell like a gentleman in no time. There's also a nice variety of accessories including bow ties, regular ties, socks, cuff links, and much more. I noticed there's also a barbershop set up out back but I saw no one there so I'm unsure if it is still in operation. Would be a brilliant touch if it was! The only downside to the store is that it is a bit pricey. I would've love to made a purchase but they were just out of my price range. Definitely worth checking out it you're after a gift for a dad, brother, grandfather, or just any male friend.

I'm surprised people don't sniff out the pretension of this place, which according to Playboy and a few other male-centric publications is supposedly one of the barber shops in the nation. Aidan Gill reeks of this misbegotten, soft-focus nostalgia for the era of southern gentility, a romanticism that I think is best left at the door. But if you think Andy Griffith was a reality show, this just might be the place for you. In the end, it's all about the haircut, isn't it? And mine were always just okay. I was once a three-month regular, a twice-a-month customer. But for fifty dollars a pop---including tip---that just didn't add up for me. That's a hundred bucks a month to look like I got buzzered at a prison rodeo. I quickly found a better deal elsewhere (Urban Angels). I didn't mind the price, as there was an attention to detail that I found lacking in other places, but the haircut was nonetheless mediocre at best. Plus, I had to put up with guys in bow ties. I'm sorry, but bow ties: fail. Bow ties and suspenders: Def-con 1 on the pretension scale. Don't get me wrong, the atmosphere has its dusty charm, and the little shop offers some terrific gift possibilities, including rare watches, ties, and soaps, but it's still about the haircut. I think they specialize in "lawyer" haircuts, if you know what I mean. Lots of country club types sauntered in and out, guys who, oddly enough, also wore bow ties. Maybe they were related to Tucker Carlson. I felt like the blackest guy in the place, and I'm an Irish albino. Ask for "the Pelican Brief." It's their specialty. I asked the stylist if bow ties were required, and she answered humorlessly that no, they were not. They also offer you a bourbon while you wait, and a Playboy. I'm in with the bourbon, but flipping through a Playboy in public is a bit much, really. And with a bow tie on--- well, you're just looking for trouble.

Are you a dapper man? Then get your dapper ass over to Aidan Gill! I've been here twice, with about 4 years in between visits. I don't make it to New Orleans very often, but this place definitely left an impression on me and I knew that I had to return. This place compliments my style unlike any business I have found in my hometown of Kansas City. Equal parts barber shop and men's store, both sides of their equation are fantastic. On my first visit I treated myself to a haircut and shave. The haircut turned out excellent, a perfect blend of on-trend and classic. I looked perfectly professional but damn stylish as well! The shave...well, it was an interesting experience. I was bummed to learn that it wasn't a straight razor shave. It was a bit pricey, and I splurged for the experience more than the shave itself. That being said, it was a VERY close shave, and my face felt smoother than it has since I was 9. But paying somebody that much coin to give me a really close shave with a Gillette Mac 3 razor just seemed wasteful. The store, however, I have zero complaints! This is where I began my love affair with bow ties, and they also prompted me to start purchasing higher quality shaving supplies and accessories. They have a full wall of different creams and lotions and so-forth (and it's much more manly than that may sound). There is a nice selection of watches, as well as some pocket watches that I wish I was stylish enough to make work. There are also a number of books and desk toys and the like. If I lived in New Orleans, I would definitely go here for my hair cutting needs and would probably blow my paychecks on their merchandise. But since I live 1000 miles away, I'll have to settle for vising once every 4 years.

Aidan Gill is simultaneously the best and worst barbershop I've been to. Let's start with the good: The ambiance is second to none. Aidan is a big collector of barbershop antiques, and he has really decked the place out. It's simultaneously beautiful and fascinating. Meanwhile, the men who work there are always in bow ties and french cuffs, and the women are comparably attired. The retail portion of the shop has a wide variety of high-quality shaving accoutrements, the usual fancy shampoos and what-not, and bow ties. Really well done. Customers are greeted promptly by the friendly (but a tad snobby) receptionist, and are immediately offered a seat and a drink. Whiskey? Guinness? Checks all around. The haircuts I've had there have always been more "good" than "great," but the personality of the shop makes up for it. The only criticism of the shop, ambiance-wise, is the sink where they wash your hair. It feels, at best, like an afterthought, and has never been up to par with the rest of the shop. Now the bad. The shaves. The modestly undersold "Shave at the End of the Galaxy" is a complete farce. While they're great with the hot towels and oil massages, they insist on using a modern cartridge razor (a Gillette Mach 3, specifically -- don't let the custom handle fool you) to do the shaves. Mr. Gill authoritatively asserts that they are the finest shaving implements on the market today. I think only the Gillette corporation would agree with him on this. The general consensus among the shaving community is that, in the hands of a skilled individual, the hierarchy of shave quality is clearly Straight Razor Safety Razor .......... .......... Cartridge Razor .......... Disposable Razor It's not clear to me why Mr. Gill insists on using inferior equipment. Perhaps he and his fellow barbers do not have the hands and experience necessary to give a good straight shave? Or maybe he gets some sort of kick-back from Gillette? I have no idea. All I know is there's a serious sacrifice being made that is compromising an otherwise fantastic shaving experience. It's even more shocking when you consider that Mr. Gill clearly thinks a lot about presentation and tradition. In the end, here are my grades: Ambiance: A (Outstanding.) Personal services: A- (I docked them half a grade for slight snootiness.) Haircuts: B+ (Always good; never great.) Shaves: Incomplete. (If they offered a skilled straight shave on top of the current rituals, it would be an easy A. And I don't give many of those out.) In the end, the shop is definitely worth a stop, but they need to get rid of the cartridge razors if they want their "Shave at the End of the Galaxy" to be at, well, the right end.

Got a shave here the other day after being apathetic for too long and realizing i had a beard. The shave was good (7 hot towels...wow!) but the place was rather high and mighty, and the shave was kind of expensive ($40 without tip). Not sure if I will go back or try montelone or whitney - the old school places are always better conversationalists. I've never had such a close shave in my life, and that was cool. I really forgot what i looked like...

Good looking place and friendly staff.... But definitely got over price!!! For 30$ Shave I should of got the whole deal......hot towel after shave ...etc. ....I was on that chair for 10 min and did not get much for 30 $

The Good: This place feels manly and it smells great. They have all kinds of cool and interesting things on display and on sale. They offer you either a guinness or a shot of jameson after you get a shave, which feels great going down after the hot towel ritual. The Bad: The actual shave isn't that good. It's comfortable, but I can get a closer shave at home. As someone mentioned below, they use a triple blade cartridge which is just inferior to a straight razor or a safety blade. Speaking of safety blades: THEY DO NOT SELL THEM! How can a shave shop not sell safety blades? They also don't sell proraso, which is a popular Italian shaving cream. The Ugly: They have a lot of attitude for a shaving specialty store that doesn't sell safety blades.

A very manly joint, even if a bit snooty (maybe it was just the bowties). I went in looking for a leather strop and paste for my straight razor. Not only were they out of stock for most of what I wanted, but the salesman (who had a terrific shave) also told me that a strop doesn't sharpen a razor--WTF. Most products seemed ridiculously overpriced. Mr. Gill was friendly, even though I was dressed like a hobo, and showed me around the place while talking about shaving, but I think he bullshitted me, too. He did invite me to touch his face, though--smooth as a baby's bottom! Was he hitting on me? Overall, next time I want a $35 haircut, that's where I'll go (the women are beautiful). For products, however, I think I'll pass.

I visit Aidan Gill For Men every two to three months to get my hair cut. For many, many years I kept my hair long. Very long. Down to my waist long. But now I've got my degree and need to look professional, so I keep my hair trimmed and groomed (or at least I try). So, why go to Aidan Gill? First there is Nathan. If you go, ask for him and tell him Dennis sent you. He's amazingly friendly, highly skilled, and a fantastic gentleman. When I walk in he's always got a warm greeting and a cold beer (or whiskey) for me, even if I'm early and he's not ready for me. On the occasions where I had to wait five or ten I have my choice of browsing an impressive selection of men's grooming materials, cuff-links, watches, razors, etc. or sitting in the back doing some reading and drinking that cold beer I mentioned. Yes, the haircut costs a little under $50 after you include the tip but it's not just a haircut. Most men are used to going to a barber, getting snipped and then leaving. When I go my money includes not just a haircut but a shampoo and styling so I can see the complete final product. Women pay the same amount for the same service and no one complains it's too much. This is a bit of pampering for myself and I'm not afraid to admit it. Nathan does an amazing job and listens to what I want. He hasn't let me down yet. Aidan Gill is also known for the hot towel shave. Before I give my opinion I think it best that I mention that I wet shave at home. That means I use a badger bristle brush, wool fat soap, and a double edged safety razor. I get a clean, close shave pretty much every day at home so it takes a bit to really impress me. Aidan Gill's shave includes a half dozen or so rounds or steamed towels and skin conditioners between them. It's amazing comfortable and relaxing and does wonders for my face. Now the one thing I could complain about is the actual shave is done with a Mach 3 razor, not a straight razor or safety razor. However, the detail and ritual of the everything else really puts it above a simple Mach 3 shave at home. So, is it worth your money? In my opinion, yes. I understand it's not for everyone, but it's certainly for me.

I've never felt so ripped off. The man up front is dishonest and has not gotten back with me for the money he owes me. He thinks all is forgotten. Word of mouth can be awful. They tried to rip off my brother and I. Hopefully they will make this right. I had 9 people for haircuts and or shaves. And overcharged me. Dont think I'll be going back

Who would've thought this store was a diamond in the ruff?!? Fantastic boutique with great pictures of little boys gettin their first haircut by Aidan. It's eclectic and chic this storefront and in the back is where all the big boys hang. Make sure you set up an appointment in advance to get your shave (and drink) on! Minus one star for the pompous bitch who could do nothing but stand and sneer. Although there was this fantastic lady working next to the bitch as well -- she was gosh darn helpful and really personable. I wonder if those two were sisters....

I've been here twice and wont go back. The first time, I got a decent cut although not exactly what I wanted. The second time, I felt like the barber butchered my hair. None of the barbers who cut my hair even had a clue what pomade is, or how to cut for a pompadour. Any decent barber shop that works on men's hair should know at least the basics of pomade and real mens traditional cuts. Fortunately for me I had the good fortune to be in southern California and close enough to a true gentlemens barbershop and got a proper cut, thank you Hawleywoods. I guess now I need to find another barber in New Orleans, sounds like Magazine street barber will be getting my business next.

Taking time out of the week vacation to go sit in the barber chair while Francesca give me a shave was well worth the time. Six of us went and all had a shave! Sitting on the back patio enjoying some wonderful beverages while we waited for our turn. Only problem is now my wife will want this done all the time! Such a clean shave.

As much a museum of manly men stuff as it is a barber shop and personal grooming boutique. I didn't get a shave or haircut (and frankly the $50 gave me sticker shock even though I am grom L.A. - I can get a REALLY GOOD barber to give me a REALLY GOOD cut in Hollywood for $35 with tip). I did like the space though and looking through their collection of really old shaving ephemera. Plus I found a pair of cufflinks with secret compartments I have put on my permanent wish list. Drop in and look around. Though I would probably get a cut elsewhere- I can't imagine this is the going rate around here.

I was a customer here for just under a year and in that time I had two barbers...both of whom left suddenly. I don't think I'm the common denominator for their leaving, at least I hope I'm not. It seems that they have issues with high staff turnover. I've called a few times since May to look for an appointment and found nothing but dissatisfaction. The guy who answered the phone (not John) was rude and, almost sounded impatient. I wasn't at all happy to be dealing with him. My last attempt was Tuesday of last week. I was told I'd be called that night to confirm whether the appointment would go ahead. Still waiting. Don't think it's going to happen somehow. It's not all bad. As a shop, it's quite nice. It looks really cool and they've got a great range of aftershaves, smelly stuff as well as other products. The actual barbershop area is set up with lots of antique stuff so it definitely looks great. Prices are $40 for a cut before tip but for that, you do get a beer, whiskey or other drink. It was nice while it lasted but I'm done. It's just not worth the hassle.

First off, this is a review of the barbershop, not the front of the store. Aidan Gill has one of the better selections of men's grooming products and other sundry items I've seen. So here goes... Like others have said, I wanted to like this place because it's just a walk down the street from me and for a person that keeps his hair as short as I do, this is a big deal. Haircut is $40 and for that price you get a beer, a shampoo, and a mediocre haircut. A patchy fade isn't a good look on anyone. Oh well, time to walk a little bit farther down Magazine.

I got a decent beard trim there, and enjoyed a whiskey while in the chair. The assortment of men's grooming products is unmatched. I have a long full beard and they are the only folks in town that carry beard shampoos, conditioners, oils, and balms.

Awesome service. They took great care of our party of 9. Great place to start a wedding day.

I called and was abruptley told sarah is no longer worker there. Sarah had literally been there forever. I asked about a shave and was advised they are not doing that anymore at thr magazine location. I promptly called the fulton street location and was advised the one person who performs hot shaves is indefinitely booked and no offer was made to accomodate me. Really frustrating to spend $500/year on shaves and not be accomodated.

I recently went to Aidan Gill for a hot towel shave. The experience started off fantastically. I was greeted by a man who asked for my name and then promptly guided me to the waiting area. The Women who gave the shave was friendly and outgoing. The shave itself seemed wonderful and was relaxing until I got home and looked in the mirror. My sideburns, where the lady had shaved, were extremely uneven. I had cuts all along the left side of my upper lip as well as on my chin and neck. For almost $50 with tip this is unacceptable. Stay Away!

Good experience. Offered booze to bide my time and had quite the selection of magazines. Including playboys if you're into that sort of thing, I was more into my drink and people watching and eavesdropping on the barber conversations though. Got a great cut and shampoo to boot for $55 incl tip.

I found this place on Yelp and was enticed by the positive reviews and the fact the place is open on a Sunday (unlike many others) - convenient for out of town visitors. The place is a classic barber shop with comfy old school chairs and artwork to match. Jason is a solid barber. He was able to squeeze me in last minute and made a great cut. The place has many grooming accessories - ranging from hair products to colognes and blades. I was also offered water, coffee, or a beer while I waited. Definitely worth a return.

This place would be great if it did not presume so much. The cockery is off the charts, and that surely delights the staff, and only the owner more. The products are top notch, but unfortunately you've got to endure the inanity of the owner who plays at the role of English sophisticate, and the staff that have taken that overconfidence and ridden with it. I have shopped there for years, but today might have been the last straw. The young guy who is apparently assigned to aggravating walk-ins wouldn't leave me alone to browse and zone out for more than 10 seconds before coming back and back. I know the owner is paranoid of anyone finding a product and buying it for $5 cheaper on the internet. But goddammit, leave it alone. The commission on a $30 tub of shave cream isn't enough to expend that kind of energy. And this after a terrible haircut from an untrained barber (they all are simply playing a role) years ago that nicked an ear and gave me an infection. I still went back bc the products are great and you can't hold accidents against someone. But come on. Don't turn what could be a nice place into a s**tshow bc you put so much pressure on the salespeople to affect an attitude and protect your $5 margin..sheesh.

Reading all these reviews is making me feel better it's not just me. Today, my husband (who has been a loyal customer for 3 years) and I brought our son to watch his daddy get a hair cut as we prepare for our sons first cut. Sadly since my son and I were not getting our hair cut we could not cross the imaginary line into the barber shop and were asked to wait and watch from afar. We left the shop. The woman who told us was unapologetic about the whole ordeal. Way to me me feel like it's 1920. Women stand over there. My husband felt like shit too. This is all not even mentioning the fact his hair cuts are super inconsistent. I think he can find mediocre haircuts where we aren't treated like shit. Two stars because 1/2 his hair cuts were ok for the last 3 years.

Remember all you women out there looking for a gift for your man: Aiden Gill For Men is strictly just that---MEN ONLY in the cutting area. You can wait in the store(and hopefully by more?) or you can leave (no matter what the weather is at the time) and he can text you when he's finished OR you may want to consider another gift. Remind Mr Gill that it's 2016 (soon to be 2017) and his archaic sexism is passé.

Man I wanted so much to be able to give these guys a good review. But unfortunately the many reviews before me speak a million words and reinforce my need to start listening to them. These guys are just missing it in the barbershop. I can't even say it was a mediocre experience, it was down right depressing. I want to suggest that the owner send the barbers to a real barbershop so they understand the quality that is available and their people learn what a barber shop and the experience is all about. When you leave a place spending $60 and the only thing that warms your stomach is the shot of whiskey added to your coffee - from my POV that's beyond disappointing. First of all, oil your clippers, never should a head trim feel as if your hair is being pulled out. The consistent red marks should be a sign of a clients uncomfort. Secondly, I came in for a clean up of my beard, I don't ever want to hear, 'when you go home you can use your razor to clean it up'. Isn't that what I paid for? My expectations and I guarantee many of your clients are to walk out of your place feeling like a million bucks. It should be your mission to help us feel this way. Next on the list of many disappointments, do you really not have styling products you sell available for your barbers to use? I wanted my mustache styled, and I wanted to buy a wax but there wasn't a product available to my barber to do so and you would have thought it was breaking the law for him to attempt to open one of the many supply's you had for purchase on the shelves. How can you sell something you don't use yourself? I'm sorry guys but I hope you take my advice and consider going elsewhere for your cuts until this place steps up their game. To the owner and operator, take a minute to read the many disappointed reviews, start focusing on quality and action in the barber shop. If retail is your priority more power to you, just stop misleading customers into a chair and an experience that quite frankly disappoints. Never would I have thought, I'd come home and have to retrim and style my own look, but that is exactly what I'm about to do. One last thing, I'm a pretty perceptive guy and while the barbers definitely have to take some accountability I don't believe the problem is specifically the barbers, I'm pretty sure it's the management.
