Your Neighborhood Barbershop in Lenox Hill
Lenox Hill is one of Manhattan's most storied and residential neighborhoods, stretching from roughly East 60th Street up through the mid-70s, bounded by Fifth Avenue to the west and the East River to the east. It's a community where old New York charm meets the best of modern city living — pre-war co-ops line quiet, tree-shaded blocks, and the corridors of Lexington Avenue and Park Avenue hum with the energy of one of the world's great urban neighborhoods.
City Barbers has been serving the men of Lenox Hill and the broader Upper East Side since 1972. Our shop at 223 E 74th Street sits right in the heart of this neighborhood, making us the go-to barbershop for residents, professionals, and visitors alike. Whether you're a long-time Lenox Hill local, a doctor heading in for a shift at Lenox Hill Hospital around the corner, or a business professional commuting into the city, our doors are open seven days a week.
Classic Barbering for Modern Lenox Hill Men
We believe great grooming doesn't have to be complicated. At City Barbers, every visit starts with a conversation — your barber takes the time to understand your hair type, lifestyle, and the look you're going for before a single scissor is lifted. That kind of old-school attentiveness is increasingly rare, and it's exactly what has kept our chairs full for over five decades.
Our barbers are trained in both classic and contemporary techniques. Whether you want a sharp, timeless gentleman's cut that would be at home in the Lenox Hill social scene, or a modern skin fade inspired by current trends, we have the expertise to deliver it with precision. Every haircut concludes with a hot towel neck cleanup and finish — the hallmark of a true barbershop experience.

We offer a full suite of men's grooming services, all performed by experienced barbers in a classic, welcoming shop environment:

Steps from Lenox Hill Hospital and Park Avenue
Our location at 223 E 74th Street puts us just steps from several of Lenox Hill's most recognizable landmarks. Lenox Hill Hospital, one of New York's busiest medical centers, is right around the corner — we see many medical professionals from the hospital stop in before or after shifts. The Park Avenue corridor running through the 60s and 70s is minutes away, home to some of Manhattan's most prestigious addresses and professional offices.
Getting to us is easy from anywhere in Lenox Hill or the broader Upper East Side. The 6 train at 77th Street drops you less than three blocks from our door, and the Q train at 72nd Street is an easy walk as well. Street parking along 74th Street and the surrounding blocks is typically available on weekdays. We're located between 2nd and 3rd Avenue, easily accessible from Lexington, Park, or even Madison Avenue.
Walk-Ins Welcome — No Appointment Necessary
One of the things Lenox Hill clients tell us they appreciate most is that we keep it simple. You don't need to plan your grooming visit weeks in advance. Walk-ins are welcome any day of the week — Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM, Saturday from 9 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM. If you prefer the peace of mind of a reserved spot, you can also book online through our Square booking page.
We also welcome kids. If you're a Lenox Hill parent looking for a patient, experienced barber who knows how to work with younger clients, City Barbers offers kids' haircuts for ages 12 and under. Our barbers are practiced at keeping younger clients comfortable and delivering a clean, parent-approved result.
