The 248 Barbershop

Jovid is the best barber I’ve had in NYC, been going to him for 3 years now and he’s never steered me wrong. He does a great job with curly hair and hospitality is top notch.

Went to some guy who was not the main barber and he irreparably botched my hair. Was very specific about 1” trim and showed reference pictures but that didn’t stop him proceeding to cut off 6” of my hair all around. Absolute nightmare. Scam for $85. Hire good barbers that actually pay attention to clients if youre going to charge top dollar.

I had my first haircut with Jovid today and he did an amazing job. He spent a lot of time getting all the details right which I really appreciated. As I've aged, my hair has gotten thinner on the top so I don't have too many expectations about what can be done, but he still managed to do something cool and different. He's very talented and gives a lot of thought to what he is doing. Plus he's very personable. If you are looking for a great haircut and a great experience, give 248 and Jovid a try. You won't be disappointed!

Jovid has been my go to stylist since 2017 (!?!) where he previously worked at Men’s Best Haircut. He recently opened his own shop in an airy new space near McCarren Park. Aside from consistently crafting impeccable cuts, what sets Jovid apart is the fact that he listens to what you want, and is able to execute and style as instructed, or offer alternate suggestions when you need to be talked off the ledge from a less than stellar idea. Highest recommendations! 💇🏻‍♂️ Protip: make an appointment in advance since he might not always be able to accommodate last minute walk-ins.

WoW! ✨✨A new barber shop opened up in the neighborhood! I found out about it by just passing by it. 😀 My husband needed a haircut last minute. We took the opportunity and didn't regret it. Jovid is professional and knows what he's doing. My husband’s hair is coarse and difficult to style it. But Jovid recommended what needs to be done and he was right. Absolutely recommend this place!!! I enjoyed being there and the atmosphere was very pleasant. A huge plus for Design and the playlist 👌
