Upper East Side · Manhattan · NYC
City Barbers — where master barbers and neighborhood tradition meet. Serving the UES since 1972.
City Barbers has been part of the Upper East Side community since 1972. What started as Mike's vision for a proper neighborhood barbershop has grown into one of the most trusted spots in Carnegie Hill, Lenox Hill, and Yorkville.
We're not a chain. We're your barbers — the ones who remember how you like your fade, who notice when you're trying something new, and who take the time to get it right every single visit. Our team of four — Mike, Alvaro, Arthur, and Igor — brings a combined 60+ years of barbering experience to every chair.
With a 4.9-star rating on Google and 232 reviews, we're proud to be the barber the neighborhood trusts.
"Best barbershop on the Upper East Side, no contest. Mike knows his craft inside and out. I moved to the neighborhood two years ago and this was the first place I found that got my hair right. Never going anywhere else."
"Alvaro is a master. I've been getting fades my whole life and his are the cleanest I've ever had. The whole shop has a great vibe — old school barbershop feel with modern technique."

City Barbers is at 223 E 74th St on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We're easily accessible from the 4, 5, and 6 subway lines and serve clients from Carnegie Hill, Lenox Hill, Yorkville, and surrounding blocks.
Walk-ins are welcome every day of the week. If you're coming during a busy time — especially Saturday morning — booking ahead through Square is a good idea to avoid a wait.
City Barbers opened in 1972. Owner Mike built the shop from the ground up with a focus on quality, consistency, and community — the same values that drive us today.
We're a real neighborhood shop — not a chain, not a franchised brand. Our barbers know their regulars, learn their preferences, and take pride in every haircut. You get consistent quality from experienced professionals who care about the result.
Men's haircuts, skin fades, tapers, beard trims, shape-ups, hot towel shaves, buzz cuts, and kids' haircuts. We also offer combo packages for cut-and-beard services.
Open 7 days a week on the Upper East Side. Walk in or book ahead — your choice.
