I have a new project that I’ll be working on over the coming months/years and I need your help.

I want to get my haircut in every subway barbershop in New York City. I’m going to document each hair cut with some text and photos (maybe even audio) and map them all out.

I think I have enough locations to keep me busy for the next few months, but I’m sure that I’m missing a ton of barbershops.

If you have a free second, can you let me know if you know any? Letting me know the line, station/street and general location within the station would be really helpful.

Just to be clear, these barbershops don’t necessarily have to be behind turnstiles, but they should feel like part of the station. In other words, some place on the street level next to an entrance won’t count in my book.

    There’s a barber shop in the Columbus Circle station I used to go to. I think I used to enter from 8th Ave. around 57th St.

    Check out the shop in the Clark St. subway station in BK Heights. I always get a great haircut there. It’s under 20 bucks and they use a straight razor for the back and sides.
