Cut Above On 7th

Nika gave me the best hair color treatment. Answered all of my questions and gave me amazing advice for aftercare and product recommendations. Definitely go to her for balayage and highlights. She also does amazing haircuts, which I got from her as well. Very professional.

Before coming to ‘Cut Above On 7th’, I hadn’t had a professional haircut in 2 years (so you can imagine the shape of my dead ends haha). I asked for a trim with layers and a bang, and Olga delivered!! I couldn’t be happier with the service I received, my hair looks great. The stylists are friendly and professional. You won’t find better value in all of NYC.

Great relaxing service. ALEX ROCKS! All great barbers. I been using Alex for a while and I would not go anywhere else but here! Friendly kind service. Follows all covid 19 procedures!

Alex does a fantastic job with my haircut every month. Entire staff is friendly and accommodating. You can walk in or make an appointment easily over the phone. Highly recommended!

Very professional hair, went in for a quick trim and bangs and was a good 55 spent. Best prices in the neighborhood and they don’t pull random prices out their mouths. You know what you’re paying for!

I have been going to get my 2 kids haircuts here for the past 3 years. Rose is amazing and it's too bad the owner is rude and does not understand how to be in a kid friendly neighborhood with customer service. I called ahead to bring my 2 kids to get a hair cut. We were exactly 4 minutes past the time we were given. 4 minutes with a 6 and 4 year old is well within a grace period of waiting for clients. Upon entering, we were told very rudely (in front of my children) that we were late and took someone else. We were told to return in 30 min. So, my babysitter made sure to return on time and after waiting 15 minutes, and not even being acknowledged, I called to speak to Bruno. When he answered I said hello and I was replied with a very angry "yeah Speak!".. I explained that my kids were waiting and asked when they would be seen, esp since we were not taken on time for being 4 min late.. I was rudely yelled at for being late and told that he didn't have time to argue and abruptly hung up on me. If you have a business in a child friendly neighborhood, being mindful of your service to paying customers and young kids is not only professional but the decent way to serve. Kindness and accommodating your clients is how to treat people. We supported you during the pandemic early on to make sure small businesses such as yours still had business. You have permanently lost 2 clients that could have been going here for years to come.

We moved to Brooklyn in 2017. Cut Above on 7th is a block away, and I called to make an appointment. Bruno has been cutting my hair ever since. He has the skilled barber’s sense of what looks good, and he has the mastery to trim in ways that my uneven hair lines look great. The shop has an easy-going atmosphere. I think it is the best place for a haircut.

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 2 years but somehow never gotten a haircut here before…but I finally went and it was lovely! I called about 20 minutes ahead on a Sunday afternoon and they were able to seat me as soon as I walked in the door. Damien was my stylist and he was wonderful! He listened to my wants and made additional suggestions that resulted in a great haircut. He had a gentle hand and was very organized and methodical in his cutting, which I really liked. I have no reason to get a haircut anywhere else now, because to find a women’s haircut for under $50 that is quick (I was in and out in less than 45 mins with wash, cut, and dry) and cute is next to impossible, let alone finding one a block from my apartment! Thank you, Cut Above on 7th!

Great service, walk-in for a cut, I needed my previous haircut to be fixed. They were able to take me right away and Susan was great she saw exactly what I wanted to be fixed and did a great job!

Horrible and so childish. 0 stars. I came in for a bangs trim and they cut them way to short and I got made fun of at school. I called them and they were childish and said they would comment on this review and say it's fake. They are disgusting horrible liars who do not know how to do their jobs correctly. They handled the situation horribly. Do not go to them if you want to have normal hair. At least more hair will grow back but if I dyed my hair there and they messed up this bad I would rather just shave all of it off. Do NOT go. Also if any employees see this GROW UP AND DO YOUR JOB! -Madeleine

Best haircuts in town. Albert and Rafael have a new beautiful shop and they can cut any hair any style. Formerly 9th Ave barbershop now off 7th Ave on W37th St.

It took me quite a while to find a place that could cut my 18 month-old's hair. And after a lot of online research and asking around for recommendations, we finally found A Cut Above. The guys at the salon were great. My baby screamed bloody murder but they handled it very well and knew exactly what to do. The baby left looking fabulous. I hope to bring the baby back for his next cut.

Came in for a toddler's haircut. I wouldn't recommend the stylist that I had. My son was scared of the blowdryer and I asked her not to use it again and she still did. She also forged ahead when he was crying hysterically and I had to ask her to pause. Not her fault but I think if you are going to offer kid's cuts that you should know best practices like explaining what you are doing before you do it (I'm going to put the blow dryer on and it's loud but it's just air and it doesn't hurt). I would try this place again but with a different stylist.

I've been here twice since moving to park slope. I highly recommend this place. I had my hair cut by Johnny and Hannah, and they were both great. Updated: I don't appreciate having to switch to a new barber last minute and without warning after I made an appointment hours in advance. Service is ultimately still generally good.

The worst customer service! The owner is rude, non accommodating and all in front of small children! Very unprofessional!!

They've become busier in the past few months, and the attention to detail isn't exactly what it used to be. The cut depends on the stylist. If you end up with the right guy, it's five out of five every time. If you don't, it's a gamble.

Great cuts, great cutters, great prices! You can't go wrong here. I've consistently had top notch service at this establishment.

This place is right around the corner from me and I sometimes go there to get my gray roots dyed (I try to DIY but after one or two times my crappy work starts to look bad.) Damian has done my roots twice and his attention to detail is truly impressive. He and the owner (I think his name is Bruno?) are super nice and accommodating. Very reasonable pricing. They also have hard to find high end hair products like Davines. This place is a neighborhood gem.

My favorite barber recently left Joseph's (a block away) and joined Cut Above. He's very happy there and I'm happy for him! The place is really nice. Exposed brick interior, good music, lots of light and they keep the doors open for good ventilation. All the staff and clientele were wearing masks and it felt safe. Good friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices, and best of all, the best barber in Brooklyn works there! What's not to like?

Worst customer service ever . The guy is extremely rude and the lady who cut my hair was so unprofessional. My hair was uneven and her excuse was " YOUR HAIR IS UNEVEN" LOL I've never heard such a thing in my life

After years of overpaying at salons for haircuts I was rarely satisfied with for the price (I have fine, limp hair that basically only looks good cut one way), I decided to give barbershops a try. Life-changer! For $20 I can justify getting my hair cut more often, so it looks much better and I don't spend a lot of time agonizing over the precise instructions to give the person cutting my hair so I don't feel like I've wasted my $60 or whatever. After trying another place down the street earlier this year, I stopped in here tonight (nothing wrong with the first place; this one is just much closer to the train). After waiting 10 minutes, I sat down for a quick cut and 20 minutes later had a much cleaner look--basically one of the best versions of my standard haircut I've had in ages--dropped two bills on them, plus tip, and was out the door. Barbershops for life.

Moshe gave a great no nonsense hair cut and beard trim. Just moved into the neighborhood and was looking for a reasonably-priced, no frills barber. $35 for cut & beard trim, not bad.

I found this place via yelp and I couldn't be happier. Rose, thank you for such a sweet and pleasant experience. I would recommend this place and will definitely be back again.

The best hair cut I've found in the area. Super consistent, polite, professional. Reasonable prices

I really like my experience at Cut Above on 7th. The saloon is for both men and women, and today there were two stylists on duty, one for each. The ladies one was careful to follow my instruction. She showed me right away how much she was cutting off --a gesture I really appreciate. The place is small but functioning well. Three men were done while I was doing my trim and blow-dry, and they seemed all happy. The men stylist was also really careful and chatty. Not too expensive, a pretty good deal for Park Slope!

I didn't have the best experience my first time here. The barber cutting my hair apparently was new (I was told by the barbershop that she no longer works there). After Bruno found out I had a bad experience, he refunded my money. I used it for a new haircut here by a different barber, which turned out great. I definitely appreciate the customer service here.

I showed them what I wanted by showing a picture of my previous cut. I told them too. They showed me the amount of hair to cut off and I agreed to it. But then they kept cutting more off. Then more off. Then more off. What the point of showing about a 1/2 an inch to 3/4 if you're going to cut off way more? Its about 3x less than what I wanted. I literally don't understand why. I told them exactly what I wanted and it seemed like they didn't even listen. They cut off way too much at the top and the back part of the top has too much hair. The top is uneven and not what I asked for. If you have longer hair go somewhere else.

Im really glad i stopped in for a cut. You will be too. I've got to say, the Nicks of the world are generally pretty good guys. This one is no exception. Generally speaking, the barbers of the world tend to 'hear' your requests but not 'listen' to them. Thankfully, Nick is not this way. It's refreshing to receive a quality cut from a talented barber - a real 'man of his craft' type dude. And you can't really argue with a fair price for a decent service. Hot lather straight-razor shave, aftershave, cologne, massage, whatever... Simply put: they deliver. And I'm grateful to not have to pay trough the nose to get a trim around the ears. I'll be coming here again.

Two very good haircuts here for my 3yo girl, Nov 2020 and March 2021. She enjoyed it and she often asks to go in for "another hairstyle!" when we pass by. Stylist stayed masked (properly) and my daughter went maskless; shop was well ventilated and not crowded. The cuts came out lovely, the staff were gentle and friendly, and the covid risk felt acceptably very-very-low for me. I plan to bring her again in the future.

My first time today at Cut Above, I received friendly and attentive service, and an excellent haircut from Moshe at a very reasonable price. I will definitely return.

A great place for an old fashioned hot towel shave. The top of the line shave includes organic skin emollients, face massage, a straight razor and lots of hot towels for $25. It's like a spa treatment for guys. (And a great Fathers Day gift, I think.) The staff, Nick and Eric. are excellent. From Uzbekistan. It's a great addition to the neighborhood.

I have been coming to this establishment for a year now. Initially I stumbled by this place and following a brief meeting with Johnny, Bruno and Steven ... All of whom are very warm, friendly and funny, I Immediately felt this was the place I would come back for Cuts and blow dry. They are a fantastic trio with high caliber skill, professionalism and excellent results.

Best haircut in Park Slope and great value! If you're calling ahead, I recommend asking for Bruno

We keep wanting to come back to this place because when we can finally get Bruno to cut our son's hair he does a great job but we are done enduring the rude treatment after our most recent experience. We had made an appointment specifically with Bruno in advance because he is the only person who can handle our son's difficult hair. When we arrived, he first tried to foist us off on someone else. Then when he realized we had made an appointment, he took my son but made him brush out his own hair and admonished him for his hair being hard to brush. He then started the haircut but stopped halfway through to give a shave to a man who came in after us instead of just having him wait until he was done with my son. He said nothing to us - no explanation or apology as my son there in the chair perplexed. I can deal with poor customer service but my son felt so insulted that it simply isn't worth it anymore. He shouldn't have to endure rude and disrespectful treatment to get a good haircut.

I've been bleaching my hair A LOT for the last year at several different salons and I flat iron it daily so my hair is pretty dry and damaged. I know Bruno from my gym and he was nice enough to help me by giving me some samples of different products from his salon to help hydrate and repair my hair. Most recently he suggested I come in to the salon for a Brazilian blowout, I agreed and Bruno was so hospitable, friendly and courteous. He and Lena did my hair and I was surprised at how quickly they were done, now my frizz is gone and my hair feels soft and healthy.

I was staying in Park Slope for a wedding and went in here for a beard trim. The guy was was great. Very quick, didn't wait long, and very natural look. Asked him for tapered on the neck line and he did it perfectly.

Returning here a second time has won me over for good. I had Bruno the first time and my haircut looks even better the second time! She asked me how I'd like my hair, I suggested she go with what she feels would look good, this review is delayed but I've gotten some compliments! Bruno is always up for a good conversation, and always offering a shot to take the "edge" off Easy distance from prospect park

I got a walk in appointment with Lena for $35 and I think it is the best cut I've had in 20 years! Highly recommend!

I've been coming here for well over a year, and I'm reluctant to give them a positive review, because I'm afraid it'll be harder to just roll up and get my hair cut as easily as I do now. But, alas, I cannot tell a lie. This is the only place I've ever found that has done such a great job on my hair and beard. I've turned a few friends on to them, and they've all come out good lookin' The other day, I heard a guy come in and say he had an appointment with Bruno, and that he made his choices based on Yelp reviews... Let me clear up this myth. Bruno is great. I only let him go near my beard, because he is the master of beards, and because he's been styling mine since I grew it... But Johnny and the rest are just as great. If you're going in for a cut, just go to whoever is available. I promise you will walk out happy. (And I will be happier that you aren't making me wait forever to get handsome again.)

Excellent neighborhood establishment! Everyone who works there is pleasant and professional. The range of services offered is very good and the prices are reasonable for the neighborhood. It's not easy finding the right place or person to trust with your precious locks, but when you do, you stick with them. I've been a customer for going on 5 years and never had a bad cut. Bruno is the best! Johnny isn't too bad either. ;) Just kidding. Actually everyone there is great! Highly recommend!

I don't usually leave Yelp reviews. I tell people that I do, but I don't. The truth is I'm often too lazy or apathetic to write the couples sentences it takes to satisfy the masses and often satisfy my guilt by willingly forgetting the initial experience altogether. Heck, a five-star restaurant could serve me a free lobster dinner stuffed with hundred dollar and I'd still probably skip out on the Yelp review in lieu of an anecdote. Today, I'm making the rare exception because of the exquisite haircut I received from Bruno at A Cut Above on 7th. From start to finish, the man was professional, attentive, and shockingly entertaining. I found myself drawn into his pit black beard, cleanly shaven head, and nimble fingers. Bruno treated me like a friend, a confidant, and a business partner. He managed to follow my convoluted instructions perfectly while suggesting tinctures and tonics to combat my thinning hair. It's not too often that a barber can take "um, a little off the top and sides?" and turn it into a masterpiece akin to Symphony No. 5 or Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. I found Bruno to be somewhat of an enigma; at first glance, once could confuse him with an Eastern European night club bouncer or the key grip from a medium-budget film. No, the man was born to cut hair -- hell, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Bruno was a tenth generation barber or a child prodigy. Ooh, or a child prodigy from a family family who cut hair. After, I spent the next few weeks in a daze. Like I said, my hair is thinning and vaguely the color of a muddy vase of flower water, but I looked good. And you know what? I felt good. The world gets brighter when you get a good haircut: Peaches are sweeter, flowers more pungent -- the world is at peace. I was peace. Even now, roughly a month or so later, I still look good. Thank you Bruno for what you did to me and my wilting locks. Who knew that walking into A Cut Above 7th would be akin to standing at the pearly gates of heaven where a razor-clad saint named Bruno welcomed you in with open arms. Bravo. $25 for wash and cut.

The service here is fast and precise! Jonny was very friendly and skillful. Recommend it!

Edward is the worst provides the worst service ever. When nick is at the shop he is all nice and profesional but as soon as nick leaves or is not working, Edward rushes through the haircut and even curses. I brought my two sons in when nick was not there and Edward treated them like they were diseased and finished the haircuts in 5 minutes. NEVER AGAIN... Then he tries to ask me for a bigger tip.

1. If your place is called Nick's, and I'm the only customer in the shop, NICK should cut my hair and not his wife/gf/assistant 2. If a person comes in with dry/dishevelled hair and explains to you what they want, try spraying down their hair or at least combing it before lopping off chunks of it and later realizing it's uneven. 3. cheap price and the haircut should be salvageable in a few days, but there are def better options out there

An easy choice of five stars. This place is really great and so convenient for me here in Park Slope. After years of getting my hair cut in Manhattan I made the switch and am very glad for it. Both Bruno and Rose are tremendous.

Nick's is a good place to go for an inexpensive, quality haircut. He takes the time to cut your hair rather than just zipping through it and moving on to the next customer. He stops and explains why he is doing something, which I appreciate as a customer. I am glad he is back from his recent surgery and judging from the people who stop by and pop their heads to wish him well, it seems he was well missed during his absence.

A nice place with friendly staff but the quality is so hit or miss that it seems unfair to give it a really good review. Today I went in and specified that I wanted to keep my hair long and just wanted a clean up, and I was given the shortest haircut I've ever had. However other times I've had haircuts that I was really satisfied with.

For the new team running the ship there, Johnny, Bruno, and Steven. Such friendly people and excellent barbers. Clean and professional atmosphere but good fun, too! All of them are always listening for instructions but also have plenty of creative and new ideas if you're trying to spice things up!

Just got my hair cut with Bruno, who was absolutely fantastic! Best haircut I've had in a while, I'll definitely be coming back here next time!

I don't live in Brooklyn but had to get a cut before a meeting and I had some time to kill. I found this place on a whim. There were a few options in the area but I'm SOOO glad I came in here. I was greeted and sat quickly by Lana. She did such an amazing job at doing what I asked, also working around my requests to make sure it would look great on me. My friends have been complimenting me the past couple of days and I am feeling my oats so I just had to give her a shout out cause her fade blend and cut were ON POINT. The vibe overall is very nice and I would recommend it to anyone! If I lived in Brooklyn I would come back regularly.

I got a perfect fade here. The staff was friendly and professional. They were funny and engaging. My barber trimmed my ear hair and eyebrows without even being asked. The prices were great. I highly recommend this place for no nonsense hair cuts.

Bruno is fantastic. Sure he's friendly and outgoing and provides great customer service, but man oh man can he cut hair. I was most impressed by his calm assurance and confidence as he worked the clippers and scissors. He was quick, but I knew that every cut he made was the exact cut he wanted to make. I was in and out in about a half hour; leaving with what my wife later called her favorite haircut I've ever had. I don't know if I'd every get my hair cut by some one who isn't Bruno. That's not so much a comment on them and more a decision that - for some one like me who hates the barber shop - once I've found a guy I like I'm not going to risk it with anyone else. The only less than perfect part of the experience was that they opened 5-10 minutes late. I hate it when businesses open late. But the rest of the experience more than made up for the delay.

This man knows what he's doing. Nick is friendly and accommodating. I'd say the shop is somewhere between the cheaper places like Benny's and George's and a High End Salon. Dont get me wrong I actually think Nick's work is top notch, but you get the best of both worlds. You can get a relatively cheap cut with straight razor treatment while not paying an arm and a leg. Nick also provides great service. He greets you and listens to what you have to say. His prices are a bit more expensive but worth it. The man is a master at his craft. Watch his footwork while he's moving around the chair during a cut. He knows how to work the scissors. Some of theguys at Bennys and Georges you these super big scissors and are slow. Nick got that high end salon super speed snip snip snip snip. Also, Nick's use of the clippers is amazing. He gave me a nice fade and was just super smooth with the clippers. It almost felt like I was getting a scissor cut. Look forward to many more haircuts with Nick.

As far as barbershops go, they don't get much better than this. Good vibes, stellar tunes on the stereo, and a bird that sings along... Oh, and a terrific haircut. But it's really all about the experience, isn't it? Getting a haircut can be unneccessarily stressful if you have curly hair, like me. The biggest challenge is getting the barber to listen, or you'll leave with much less than you bargained for. Nick doesn't just listen, he knows what you want better than you, and he knows before you even walk in. Yeah...he's that good. I appreciate confidence in a man with scissors near my ears, and Nick's got it. Sure, if you just need a buzz cut...it doesn't much matter where you go. But for the sophisticated man (and all you bird watchers out there), you owe it to yourself to check this place out.

Needed a cut the day after Thanksgiving and saw the great reviews. Gave them a try and they were awesome. Friendly, great cut. Great price.

In town visiting for a wedding, and stopped in to ask about a blow out special advertised outside. These folks were able to accommodate me and did a super job, for an excellent price! So yes, barber shop, but they managed this gals shampoo and blow out with finesse and i would certainly return the next time I'm out here.

Best hair cut and shave in park slope or NYC! Ask for Bruno. He is the best. Great shave too.
