Pugsly’s Barbershop

NOT good for kids unless you want to teach them how to cuss. I waited almost 3 hours for a cut and the cut was sloppy! I actually had to get it redone the next week – at a better shop I might add. As we waited I grew more and more uncomfortable because the barbers had a cussing contest with no regard for my 6 year old sitting there. Their conversations were so filthy that even I was blushing – and that’s saying something! I even asked them if they could tone it down but they disregarded my request. I regret not having left immediately but we were dropped off while Mom shopped and we needed the cuts for an event. Sorry to say, HIGHLY OVERRATED!

Awesome shop and my kids really enjoy going there. It’s always a great time, and the quality is 100% the best!

I mean, if you go somewhere else you’re a fool. No one outside of this shop will ever touch my hair.

Great shop. Great people. Great atmosphere. Great haircut. I’m definitely going back.

This place is incredible! I discovered the shop about a year ago and every hair cut I’ve gotten here has been an awesome experience with an outstanding end result. These gentlemen are true craftsmen with a passion for their work and an uncompromising commitment to quality. If you’re looking for the best hair cut you can ever get, I would highly recommend Pugsly’s.

I set aside a whole afternoon just to get a haircut here. They are meticulous and miss not even a follicle that needs taming. There’s a lot of banter in the shop, which makes the wait to get a haircut a real commitment. Bring diversions. The cut itself is given with great care. There’s a lot of banter between the barbers and the customers — cars, motorcycles — that sort of thing; and sometimes the banter feels as if it assumes we all have time to wait while they have their fun. But the end-​result is great and the atmosphere is very un-​Kingston. (And that’s a compliment!)

My lil man Zman is really fussy about his hair. I mean, the kid spends as much time as a teenage girl fixing it up in the AM. We had the ideal hairdresser for him … Christina, but alas, she left the salon place we liked some years ago and since then… we’ve been on a quest for the right hairdresser for him. We’ve gone from downtown to uptown to SoHo NYC spending up to $ 90 a haircut to find him the look he wants.
That quest was a waste of time!
I should have just taken him here in the first place. While the wait (old school first come first serve) was pretty long, it was wellllll worth it. Junior spent an unbelievable amount of time snipping and clipping at Zman’s mane to get it to look down right righteous! My kid enjoyed every moment, the old school tonics and shaving creams, the pomade, the comb, we even got the pomade and comb as we left and the kid was combing his new doo in the car with a big smile on his face.
Too bad I’m a girl, this place is BOYS ONLY: D If I were a dude, this place would be my jam. Every guy walked out with a smile and a handshake (old school meng). The atmosphere is super awesome, vintage bad boy barber collectables mixed with rockabilly, booze and other funky chachkas and pictures. Plenty of mags, even Playboys for you over 18 crowd.
It’s official, this is our new spot for Z’s fantabulous hair. $ 25!!! WELL WORTH IT! and super easy to throw our barber a few bucks extra for his well earned time.
I guess we could have had a beer while we were waiting… next time we’ll come after school for «happy hour haircut».
Rock n roll!!!

Best barber in Kingston.

Pugs rocks! Only the best
