Osvaldo Stylo Barber Shop

Barber shops in Washington Heights keep the neighborhood’s classic feel alive. Osvaldo Stylo Barber Shop fits right in at 1312 St Nicholas Ave, a stretch where Dominican barbershops and bodegas share the sidewalk. It’s one of those places where a quick trim turns into a neighborhood catch-up, and the chairs are just as likely to hold a dad as his kid.

Kids get the same attention here, which makes it easier for parents who don’t want to juggle separate appointments. The shop handles everything from a first haircut to regular fades, so the little ones don’t outgrow the place too soon. St Nicholas Ave is lined with apartment stoops and mom-and-pop spots, so parking isn’t always simple, but the walk is never dull.

If you’re mapping the route, the shop sits between 172nd and 173rd Streets. The block has a mix of old-school charm and everyday hustle, so it’s easy to pair a visit with a coffee run or a quick grocery stop. Directions are straightforward once you plug in the address—just keep an eye out for the red-and-white striped pole.

When you’re ready to book, give them a call at (646) 353-6307. For the exact spot, check the map here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2f41f0dce76e7:0x514c00a0402234be. If you hit the corner of Audubon Ave, you’ve gone one block too far.
