Petals Beauty Bar & Day Spa for Men and Women 1989 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd.

This stretch of Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard keeps the neighborhood’s barber-shop tradition alive; Petals Beauty Bar & Day Spa for Men and Women sits one block north of 116th on the west side. The full address—1989 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard—is hard to miss between the red-brick walk-ups and the train viaduct’s shadow. Across from the restroom entrance on the ground floor, they open early for morning fades and close late after last-call trims.

The place offers shaves, beard lines, hot towel treatments, and classic clipper cuts at prices that match the block’s energy. Don’t leave without asking about their deep-condition scalp steams or straight-razor neck shaves; the menu keeps evolving, but the delivery stays sharp. Add-ons like beard balm application and face-fresh toning rounds complete most visits to one chair.
