Always went to NYC barbers, but when I started growing my hair a bit longer, they seemed incapable. Switched to a standard salon but wasn't really happy, so I figured, let me bite the bullet, pay a little more and give Fleischman's a try. Wow. What a difference when someone really knows what they're doing. Plus they really do a nice consult, help with ideas around product or maintaining your cut. And the atmosphere is a perfect kind of masculine setting. You don't have to feel like you're the only guy in a room full of women getting their hair dyed as you would in most other salons in NYC (which is one of the reasons so many guys go to a barber in NYC). Guys, bite the bullet and go to Fleischman. You need a change or you wouldn't be looking online. And Fleischman is a sure bet.
