Finding a great barber can be an anxiety-inducing ordeal, especially in a big, expensive city like New York. There's the cost to worry about, as well as the traumatic experience of a botched haircut.

Luckily, the folks over at Yelp helped us put together a list of the best barber shops in Manhattan.

Yelp reviewers deemed 3 Aces Barber Shop their top pick for a precise and affordable cut, but Yelp users had nothing but praise for all the shops that made the cut.

#10 Fifth Ave Barber Shop

1 West 35 Street 
Midtown West

While Fifth Avenue Barber Shop is still relatively new to the neighborhood, it's managed to build a strong rapport with customers, who rave about the barbers' attention to detail and happiness to engage in a friendly conversation.

"There is definitely a focus on those little details that make the difference," wrote Scott S. "The whole team is young, focused, proud of what they do, [and] totally professional."

Midtown West

Nestled in the chic lobby of Le Parker Meridien, Sharps provides cuts and shaves using their own products. Let them pamper you while enjoying a cold Coke—in a glass bottle, no less.

"I took my fiance to Sharps for a cut and straight razor shave as a gift," Prudence T. wrote. "He said, and I quote, 'this might be one of the best things that's ever happened to me.'"

#8 Dickson Hairshop

137 Allen Street

Dickson is known for its badass barbers and punkish style. Customers relax in an unpretentious atmosphere where they can chat with the stylists, who are more than happy to provide free trims between cuts.

"For a LONG time, I would bounce around from shop to shop, trying to find 'my' place. Now, Dickson is the only place I'll go," Brett O. said.
