Part of the Neighborhood
Eddie’s Haircut and Shave is located in the Upper East Side. It is one of the few traditional barbershops in New York City. Originally located on East 68th Street, this neighborhood’s favorite barbershop has been around before the surge of trendy new age salons in the area. Keeping traditional barbering alive by excelling in haircuts and rare barbering skills such as the hot towel shave, Eddie’s Haircut and Shave brings service with a smile and also professionalism. We provide today’s man with the experience of a barbershop from the past, a place where you can unwind and feel at home. Our staff is composed of highly trained barbers personally picked by Eddie, the shop owner and master barber, ensuring that every service is executed with precision and detail.

What the barbers have to say.
David – Master Barber / Owner
My name is David, I’m Master Barber and owner of Eddie’s haircut and shave. I started hangin around barbershops since I was a teenager and found myself hanging out at them just for the ambiance and conversation. By 17 I was considered pretty skilled, and by 20 I was already a business owner of my […]
Helen – Master Barber
Most barbers will tell you that from the time they were young, that all they wanted to do was to cut hair and do shaves, and that working in a Manhattan barber shop has been part of a life-long dream. And while that may be true of most, it was not my experience, as being […]
Jacob – Master Barber
What is the difference between a barber and a photographer? If you answered “ quite a lot ”, that would be true in most cases -– just not in mine. You see, it wasn’t all that long ago when I was a very accomplished photographer, but getting steady work in the city proved to be a challenge, […]
Abigail – Barber / Receptionist
Without a doubt, I am the hardest working person in the shop. And why exactly is that, you may ask? Well, in my mind, it’s because all of my colleagues have only one job to do, while I have…two…. I was hired at the front desk, but in between your typical receptionist duties, I closely […]

Plant A Bigger Beard
There have been men all throughout history who have not been able to crack the code of growing a full beard. We know that it can be very frustrating to wake up and see that patchy scruff on your face. However, there may be some things you can do to get a thicker look. For […]
Invigorating Conditioner Feature
This month we have chosen to feature our Invigorating Conditioner! In the month of August the weather has been fairly hot. But it’s getting hotter, people are getting sweatier, and they tend to change their clothes a bit more often because of this heat. With that come more showers to soothe sweaty scalps. While the shampoo […]
Single Chair Barber Shops
Ever since the times of ancient Egypt, men have been going to barbers to get their hair cut and beards trimmed. There have been many venues in which barbers were able to perform their services. One that was of particular interest is the single-chair barbershop. This venue includes one chair, one barber, and one-on-one conversation. […]

One of our clients’ true favorites among our products is the Mud Light. It’s a special type of pomade made from all natural ingredients such as beeswax, castor oil […]
