Crafted services,
no filler.

Every service is performed with intention — from the initial consultation to the final comb-through. This isn't a drive-through for your hair.

01

The Classic Cut

A thorough consultation, shampoo, precision cut, and styling. We listen first, then pick up the clippers.

45 min
02

Hot Towel Shave

Our signature service. Pre-shave oil, three passes with a straight razor, and a finishing balm that leaves skin genuinely soft.

50 min
03

Beard Sculpting

Shape, line, and condition. We carve out a beard that fits your face — not whatever's trending on your feed.

35 min
04

Skin Fade

Zero to hero. Meticulous fading with clean transitions, finished with a razor lineup for that crisp edge.

40 min
05

The Full Service

Cut plus shave. The complete treatment — because some days you need both, and you shouldn't have to choose.

75 min
06

Kids' Cut

Patient, gentle, and actually fun. We take the time to make sure the next generation leaves looking sharp too.

Not every chair
deserves a good one.

Alex Barber Shop opened its doors on Metropolitan Avenue with a simple conviction: a haircut is a small thing to most people, but it's the one thing they look at every single day. That matters.

We built this shop for the people of Queens who want more than a quick trim between appointments. The hot towel. The straight razor. The conversation that happens when someone actually takes their time with you. That's the standard — every visit, every time.

I've been coming here for three years. Never once left unhappy. The hot towel shave is genuinely the best in Queens — maybe the city.

Finally a barber who actually listens. I showed a picture and he made it better — not identical, but better. That's rare.

Brought my son for his first real cut. Patient, fun, and he actually enjoyed it. We're both coming back now.
