There are a few remaining good deals in New York City, and Astor Place is one of them. I've been getting my haircut there ever since I've moved to NYC. Once every few years, I try something different, but I always end up coming back to Astor Place.
Jose is where you want to go: He's professional, nice, and is chatty when you want to be, but quiet when you don't feel like talking. Most importantly, he cuts good hair. I've been going to him for the past five years, and he cuts my hair the way I want it every time. He cut my hair for my wedding, and I ended up being featured in a wedding magazine!
Jose ROCKS!
Pros: professional, affordable, nice guy
Cons: fluorescent lights in the basement
