About

Max-U Barber Salon started as a single chair in Brooklyn in 2013 and has since grown into a full team. It serves men, women and children under one roof, so a family or a group of friends can often book everyone in the same visit.

The barber side offers skin fades and taper fades, classic haircuts, beard trims and line-ups, beard sculpting, hot towel straight-razor shaves, and cuts for children aged 12 and under. Cuts finish with a hot towel, edge-up and a final check in the mirror. The hair side covers silk presses, blowouts, braids, hot comb pressing and curling, relaxers, perms, color, highlights, weaving, updos and deep conditioning treatments. Presses include heat protection.

Nail services include classic and gel manicures, classic and deluxe spa pedicures, a combined mani and pedi, and polish changes. They can be added to any hair or barber appointment, with chairs set up side by side so a visit can cover more than one service.

Group bookings are offered for bridal parties, weddings and other events. The salon coordinates its barbers and stylists and builds a custom quote from the date and number of guests. Three membership plans are also available, billed monthly, with discounts on services and priority booking.

The salon is open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 8:00pm and Saturday from 9:00am to 7:00pm, and is closed on Sundays. Walk-ins are accepted based on availability, while online booking up to 90 days ahead guarantees a preferred time and stylist. A $15 deposit holds an online booking and goes toward the total. The salon asks clients to arrive about five minutes early and charges a $10 fee for no-call, no-show appointments.

The salon says it gives honest advice, does not push extra services, and takes its time on the finish.
