Esquires on 3rd

Hard to find at first, but good barbers and good coffee shop next door.

I went there at 825AM and waited 5 minutes. Not a single person around in the shop. :-/​I was really banking on them being open.

Went in randomly and definitely making this my regular spot.
Niall’s the man — gives a great haircut at a reasonable price and supplements with good conversation… what more do you want?

That’s my first long review ever. I have to do it now .
I was doing something in the neighborhood and thought I would cut my hair so I look them up and they found them but I didn’t realize they wear in the atrium so I called them the guy who answered was very short tempered on the phone but I still managed to know the place I went down he started cutting my hair I asked him not to trim too much he was a little too blunt not really answering whatever not trying to at least smile or give me suggestions and then he didn’t even ask me if that was OK after then all the sudden he finished and removed the sheet, I told him that I needed more trim because I’m not sure that that was enough besides that the trim itself was really bad, so he looked at me as if I kidnapped one of his kids and then laughed in sarcasm and said «well That’s another haircut now» not sure what was funny about the situation or what was funnier him acting as a deaf robotic human being or the look on my face after he said that.
He charged me $ 29 I still gave him five dollars tip but I was so unsatisfied with the whole experience with the attitude and the performance…
Never going back

Niall is the man! First heard of Esquires through groupon. I’ve been coming here ever since! Felt compelled to write them a review today because I went for the haircut/​shave combo and let me tell you, it exceeded all expectations. Thanks again Niall.

Excellent barbers, convenient location in the atrium of my building. Definitely have become a regular at this barbershop!

I just moved to Manhattan around a month ago. Being from the deep south, I like a conservative haircut. My man Franco was exceptional. Thinning shears all over, detailed trim around the edges, and a sharp yet conservative comb-​over. If your looking for high quality service, and your a picky customer, this is the place for you.

Been going to Steve for years! Best haircut and now a great location close to my office. The warm shaving cream shave at the end is really nice.
The new location is also conveniently next to a great shoe shine and coffee shop so a perfect afternoon break from work!
Thanks for opening up in midtown!

Have been trying to get ahold of the Third Avenue location for DAYS via their phone number, 212−759−14 000 and the Wall Street location’s phone number, 212−349−5064 to book an appointment for my fiancé to use the groupon that I bought for him. I absolutely cannot get ahold of them. What’s going on Esquires?! Are you still open?! What did I spend my money on?!

This review is for Neil. Had a great Irish haircut experience. He cut my hair medium length the way he wanted not the way I asked. Why the full stars then? Cause he took a risk and used his experience. Had he left more at the top I woulda looked «like the guy from the cure» he told me.
Great chatting with him he’s an old school barber, Irish accent, lots of swearing if you can handle it, and just plain keepin it real.
I tipped because of the great job but mostly because he had me laughing about the faggy New Yorkers.

I like a good deal, so I got the Groupon. I won’t need a Groupon to return. I had a fantastic experience, the place is clean, the staff is friendly and actually good at the job. The hot towel experience made for a nice touch during a busy day. I walked away looking a lot better than I typically do after a Groupon barber experience.

My fiancé got his haircut while in town, claims it was the best haircut he has ever gotten. He is extremely particular. Says he wishes the woman who cut his hair could move to Quincy so he could go to her all the time.

Ask for Irina, she is a great hair stylist, I first heard of this cheap deal through Groupon then I doubled checked for reviews on Unilocal and ever sense my first visit I only cut my hair with Irina. Experience the wash, warm towel on your face then a great haircut and best of all the conversations with Irina. Very affordable.

First off, I’m not the review writing type. I keep it simple: If an establishment is good, I go back. If it’s not, I don’t. If someone I know asks me for a pointed opinion, I share it. Now with that being said, Esquires on 3^rd is a GREAT find. I waited 6 – 7 visits to write a review… and really only did because the place is so hard to find and felt the barbers (Steve & Niall) aren’t getting their fair-​do. Check it out. It’s impossible to not be happy with the results.
6 – 7 visits. Always either Steve or Niall. 4 times beard and hair. 2 – 3 visits just hair.
Wash, scalp massage, face massage (with beard shave) & plenty of hot towels. Day melts away. Hair & beard look professional & sharp.

I’ve been a customer of Esquires since 2003 and it’s always been a great experience. I get to relax, chat a bit and always leave looking and feeling better than when I arrived.
Niall is the best and the new location is even more convenient for me to get out of the office for a little bit.
There’s a reason why everyone has great things to say about Esquires and the reviews are spot on. This place is old school done right!

This place is a real true barber shop. I was in town on business and luckily found them. Steve cut my hair and I have to say that he did an excellent job. You really get the sense that he is a professional. I’m very picky about who and which types of places I go to. After running a few searches online, I found esquires. Everything mentioned is true and right on. Wash, hot towel, clean shave, massage and just the right amount of conversation. I was stressed out from meetings when I walked in, but actually left relaxed and looking better. This is only the second review that I’ve ever written on Unilocal,but they deserve it. If you are looking for a real old-​time barber, I would definitely recommend this place.

just got a great cut from Niall. scissor cut, quick, clean, professional, in and out in 30 minutes. no mess — when i run my hands through my hair i dont have a fist full of hair. great spot for the midtown corporate crowd. i’d recommend esquires. downstairs in 805 3^rd ave, next to the silo café

Been a loyal customer at the original Esquires of Wall St for years. High quality service, they cut exactly to your specifications, and use great product for your cut, shave, and I like to spoil myself with a scalp massage every now and then.
I happened to be in Midtown East and decided to check out the new Esquires on 3^rd. I must say that the quality is exactly the same to the original location in Wall St. You won’t be disappointed!

I couldn’t be happier. Got the exact haircut I asked for.
Once I saw that the previous reviewer said «upscale gentlemans barber shop,» I had to try it out. I’m a sucker for old school haircuts, but I’m really picky about where I go. It’s been impossible finding anyone to cut it that way around here. So relieved that I found this place. Hopefully the word spreads and this place gets the recognition it deserves.
Btw, this place is inside the Crystal Pavillion or (805 Atrium as the signage reads). It’s a corporate-​looking building, but it’s open to the public. Once you’re through the front doors, take the escalators (on your left) down and walk to the end. The barbershop has a wide entry — you can’t miss it.
