Barber on Pearl

Opened in July 2010, this quaint, affordable neighborhood joint has roots in Brooklyn Heights, where owner Robert Isakov's brother, Sergey, runs the similarly structured Clinton Street Barber Shop. The Isakov brothers certainly have a way of making customers feel right at home, starting with the Woodford Reserve whiskey they offer while you wait. Although children's ($15) and women's cuts ($20) are available, the offerings mostly cater to guys, and include traditional chops ($17), beard trims ($12), men's manicures ($15) and the signature hot-lather straight-razor shave ($30), which will soothe your mug with a facial massage and aloe-vera moisturizer. Black-and-white murals depict the Manhattan Bridge on one wall and the Brooklyn Bridge on the other as a nod to the shop's many customers who trek from Manhattan—and even New Jersey—to show their support.
