The shop

A family-owned barber shop in Manhattan

Elite Barbers NYC is a family-owned barber shop at 782 Lexington Avenue, between 60th and 61st Street on the Upper East Side. We've been cutting hair in New York since 1991.

Five barbers work the chairs: Avi, Alex, Rima, Dimitry and Slava. They handle everything from a quick crew cut to a skin fade, a razor beard trim or a full hot towel shave. And every haircut comes with a wash, a hot lather neck shave and a hot towel. Included. Not an add-on.

Walk in six days a week. Or book your barber online and skip the wait.
