Premium Barber Shop

A short walk separates Midtown’s towering glass corner offices from the Premium Barber Shop, where the city’s classic trades still meet modern comforts. Tucked inside a low-rise block at 299 East 52nd Street, the shop keeps things focused: precision fades, crisp tapers, and straight-razor shaves keep the sidewalk scene lively. A rotating spot in the back corner turns into a mini café corner, offering cold brews and juice while a second space down the hall handles quick dry cuts on kids who can’t sit still. Efficiency matters here, and a quick call lands you a chair sooner rather than later. Before you head over, the map pins the entrance directly: see it before you step out. (212) 935-3066 is the last thing you dial before you’re inside checking the headshots on the wall.
