Eddie Benji

I don't like to spend too much time or money on my hair, although my hair seems to do its best to fight me on this matter. Left to its own, it grows at an alarming rate, and then sticks out in all manner of weird directions because it is thick and wavy. For this reason, many barbers have told me that my hair is challenging to get right. Eddie takes this challenge in stride. He is a very cordial and pleasant man who works quickly and competently to give you exactly what you ask for. A trim, even cut is what I like best and what I ask for, and Eddie delivers on this, every time. And for $20, in New York City, that's not a bad deal at all. Pros: Good value; pleasant staff; fast service Cons: The place isn't much to look at more

You could go to a barber for a $10 buzz cut. You could go to a salon for a $50 designer haircut. Or, you could go to Eddie & Benji's for a $20 great men's haircut. I've tried a lot of places in the neighborhood, and this place is the best value. Most of the clients are men. Eddie, the man, seems very popular. Benji, the woman, isn't as busy. I used to have better haircuts by Benji, but once the price increased from $16 to $20, her haircuts got sloppier. I tried Eddie today, and I can't complain. This is a walk-in only place. No appointments. more
