Twenty years in one chair

Gali opened this shop in 2005 and has cut in it since. Twenty years in one room on one street is the part that does not transfer: he knows which cuts grow out badly on which heads because he has seen the same heads grow the same cuts out a hundred times.

NY State Master Barber licence

New York State licenses barbers, and Master Barber is the licence class that covers straight-razor shaving. That is the credential, stated exactly: New York State licensed Master Barber.

What he's known for

Fades

First on his own list. Skin fades, tapers, drops and bursts.

fade haircuts

Scissor cuts

No clippers at all — a longer job that grows out softer and leaves no guard line. Ask for "all scissors, no machine".

Beard sculpting

The outline, not just the length: where the cheek line sits, where the neck line stops, how the moustache is proportioned.

beard trim — $15

Straight razor and hot towel

The traditional shave — hot towels, lather, a straight razor.

hot towel shave — $30

In his words

"A haircut should feel like a reset — sharp, confident, and built around you."

"We use only quality tools, stay up on the latest techniques, and focus on what you want — not whatever trend is on social media. This isn't a chain shop. This is personal."

"You're not a walk-in number. You're a name, a style, a story — and we cut with that in mind."
