What We Do
Services built around
how you show up
Every visit gets the same standard: sharp lines, clean edges, and a result that holds through the week.
Skin Fade
Precision fade from skin to your chosen length. Blended, balanced, and finished with a sharp lineup.
Hot Towel Shave
Traditional straight-razor shave with steamed towels, pre-shave oil, and aftershave balm. Smooth, not irritated.
Beard Trim & Shape
Defined edges, even length, and a clean neck line. Works with stubble, full beards, or anything in between.
The Works
Cut, fade, beard trim, and hot towel shave — the full routine for when you need to look your absolute best.
Kids Cut
Patient, relaxed service for younger clients. Same attention to detail — just at a pace that works.

Our Story
A shop that takes
its name seriously
First Choice Barbers opened its doors on Stanton Street with one rule: if you're not the best choice in the room, you're not doing your job. That standard hasn't changed.
We serve the Lower East Side and surrounding neighborhoods with cuts, fades, and shaves that respect the craft. No rush jobs. No one-size-fits-all approaches. Just consistent, deliberate work from barbers who take pride in what they do.
- Walk-ins welcome, appointments preferred
- Open seven days a week
- Competitive rates, no hidden fees
- Central LES location, easy to find
