Nigel's Beauty and Barber

New York has 2,427 barbers listed. A phone number is on file for 2,267 of them and a website for 1,289, so for roughly half this list a call is the only way to ask about a wait before you show up.

The counts run through Queens rather than Midtown. ZIP 11385 has 34 shops; 11368 has 32; 11419 has 23. Addresses in this category go stale when a shop moves a few doors down and nobody updates anything, which is exactly what claiming is for: barbers can claim a listing and change what it says. Placements marked Sponsored are paid, and they say so on the row.
