The Stepping Razor Barbershop, which bills itself as “a traditional barbering service for the outlaw and the gentleman,” has mint-green walls decorated with skateboard decks, motorcycle movie posters and Marilyn Monroe prints. Cuts tend towards the classic without “being stuck in the retro vortex,” and, for such consciously hip barbers, it’s also surprisingly affordable.

Darren Irwin and Matthew Baker created a hipster haven when they opened Black Rabbit Barbershop – a barbershop and leather studio in East Williamsburg. Sip whiskey while they complete your cut, and then venture to the back of the shop to buy a new leather belt or wallet from Bushwick-based label AWL&MAUL.

Tomcats Barbershop

Beauty Salon

A line of parked Harley-Davidson motorcycles is a permanent fixture outside of Tomcats in Greenpoint – a nod to the classic American cuts and straight-razor shaves this spot specializes in. Grab a beer while the barbers rework your hair, taking inspiration from retro styles with precise parts, sharp fades and pomade-slicked tops.
