Cristo Rey Barber Shop

A clear-cut barber shop Cristo Rey Barber Shop sits in East Harlem, halfway between the 110th and 111th St stops. Found at 137 E 110th St #1, this barber shop draws steady foot traffic from parents heading to the nearby park with kids in tow. Men still need a clean cut, but today's customers often arrive with youngsters who need the same service without fuss.

On any given weekday you can bring a first-timer to the chair and find the scissors ready. Cristo Rey Barber Shop handles young clients who fidget more than grown-ups, so the shop keeps the mood light and efficient. Haircuts aren't the only draw; the shop also keeps straight-razor shaves and classic fades on the menu for anyone who wants a step up from the regular trim.
