About

Over the years the barbershop has been the place where thousands of young boys get their first haircut. They are usually taken to the barbershop by a family member such as their father or grandfather and introduced to the barber, the person who will give them their first haircut. The gifted barber is a person who can take a picture, image, idea, thought, or concept and can turn it into a haircut that matches the desired haircut. People should realize that all barbers are not created equally.

A master barber, gifted barber, or skilled barber is a rare person because cutting hair is an art that not every barber performs at the same level. Therefore, you need to be careful when choosing a barber. Whether you’re young or old, a haircut is important. When people get a haircut that excites them and makes them feel good about themselves, it gives the people confidence and builds their self-esteem. A great haircut also makes a statement about the people who receive the haircuts because a haircut provides a window into the personality of the people.

At Rafael’s Barbershop, we have a team of barbers who are highly skilled and trained. Our barbers know the latest haircut styles that young people want and more importantly, our barbers can produce the desired haircut styles without any delay. For people who prefer an old school haircut, our barbers are just as proficient. Moreover, Rafael’s is a barbershop that was started using the traditions of the traditional barbershop from back in the day. Our barbershop and barbers make sure that our clients receive first-rate haircuts along with excellent customer service in a friendly environment. For a haircut that says much more than just a fresh haircut, people of all ages come to Rafael’s Barbershop.

Rafael T.

Owner, Hairstylist

Rafael T. was born in Central Asia and then immigrated to Israel where he went to the College of Dental Art and opened his own dental office. Later, he decided to follow the family business – barbering. Rafael’s father and mother wanted to see their son continue their family tradition and were elated when Rafael decided to continue the family tradition. He closed his dental office and began to study barbering and found that he loved it.

He was attracted by the form, beauty and aesthetics of cutting hair. He was inspired by this work so that he decided to devote his life to it. So Rafael opened his first salon. Then he decided to try his craft on the other side of the ocean and after 3 years Rafael based his famous salon in the East Village in Manhattan.
