New York's Best Men's Haircut — Right on the Upper East Side

City Barbers has been the go-to spot for men's haircuts on the Upper East Side since 1972. We cut everything — skin fades, scissor cuts, classic gentleman's cuts, tapers, and more — with the precision and care that keeps our clients coming back every 3–4 weeks.

Every haircut starts with a consultation. We'll talk about your style, your hair texture, and what's worked (or hasn't) in the past. Then we'll execute — with sharp tools, steady hands, and a hot towel neck shave to finish.

Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, you'll leave looking sharp. That's the City Barbers standard.
