Land of Barbers has been on Franklin Street in Greenpoint since 2013. We are a short trip from all of North Brooklyn, from Queens across the Pulaski Bridge, and from Manhattan across the East River. Here is how to reach us from each neighbourhood, and who to book when you get here.
For skin fades, low, mid and high tapers, beard trims and hot towel shaves, book Jonathan, Ivano or Luis.
Greenpoint
We are at 146 Franklin Street, between the waterfront and Manhattan Avenue. The Greenpoint Avenue G station is about a 4-minute walk, and the NYC Ferry stops at the Greenpoint landing a few blocks away. Walk-ins are welcome when a chair is free; booking online guarantees your barber.
Williamsburg
From Williamsburg, ride the G train north from Metropolitan Avenue (change here from the L at Lorimer Street) to Greenpoint Avenue: two stops. From North Williamsburg it is also an easy walk or bike ride up to Franklin Street. Come for a skin fade, a low taper, or the classic Italian hot towel shave.
Long Island City
Long Island City is right across Newtown Creek. Take the G from Court Square or 21st Street one or two stops to Greenpoint Avenue, or walk across the Pulaski Bridge into Greenpoint. Close enough for a lunchtime beard trim or line-up.
Queens: Astoria & Sunnyside
From Astoria or Sunnyside, take the 7 or the E/M to Court Square and change to the G for Greenpoint Avenue. Ask for Ivano, trained in Milan, Bologna and Naples, if you want the Italian way of doing a fade and a beard.
Manhattan's East Side
From the East Village, Gramercy, Murray Hill or Midtown East, the most pleasant way here is the NYC Ferry from East 34th Street to the Greenpoint landing. Or take the 7 to Court Square and change to the G. Worth the trip for an Italian barbershop founded by Enrico Mariotti, who spent 17 years styling runway shows in Milan and Paris.
Who to book
Jonathan — our skin fade specialist: skin fades, high and mid fades, sharp line-ups, and the classic Italian beard and shave.
Ivano — over 20 years behind the chair, trained in Milan, Bologna and Naples: precise skin fades and tapers, beard work and the classic Italian shave.
Luis — skin fade specialist with more than a decade behind the chair: tapers, comb-overs, sculpted beards, razor contours and head shaves.
