Pompadour & Classic Men's Haircuts NYC

The Pompadour: Bold, Timeless, Perfectly Executed

The pompadour remains one of NYC's most requested classic men's haircuts. This iconic style features voluminous height on top with tapered sides that create a striking silhouette. Whether clients prefer a traditional slicked-back pompadour with high shine or a modern textured variation, Ron tailors each cut to face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle.


Why Ron's Pompadour Cuts Stand Out


Before opening his shop, Ron spent three years at a Korean barbershop in NYC, mastering techniques for Asian hair textures: thick, straight, and coarse hair that many barbers struggle with. That experience taught him how to work with every hair type while delivering clean fades, precision lines, and seamless blending.

Classic Haircuts That Never Go Out of Style

Beyond pompadours, Ron the Barber NYC specializes in timeless men's styles:

 

The Side Part: Sophisticated and professional with a distinct line. Perfect for business settings while staying versatile for casual occasions.

 

The Slick Back: Clean, polished, undeniably sharp. Works beautifully with hot towel service and premium styling products.

 

The Ivy League: A refined crew cut variation with enough length to style with a side part. Ideal for men wanting a neat, professional look without sacrificing style.

 

The Classic Taper: Shorter on sides and back with gradual length transition. Works for all hair types and face shapes.

Straight Hair

Strategic layering and texturizing techniques create volume and movement while maintaining clean lines essential to classic styles.

 

Wavy & Curly Hair

Ron works with natural hair movement using specialized cutting techniques that enhance texture while maintaining traditional structure.

 

Thick & Coarse Hair

Years of experience in diverse NYC barbershops means Ron knows exactly how to cut and style thick, coarse hair for optimal results.

Precision Cuts for Every Hair Type

What Clients Say

I checked out Ron’s for the first time today, and was extremely pleased with my haircut. Not only was he very attentive and patient with my hair, but was a super cool and kind guy to talk to! I would recommend Ron to all my peers and family. Joseph Donofiro

Ron is hands down one of the most talented barbers I’ve ever been to! He comes from a 3rd generation of barbers and the DNA of a true craft and artisan runs in his blood, Albie X Cortes
