Kuafor (Hair Dresser)

From New Yorker Magazine's Deal Finder:

MEN’S HAIRCUT
Neighborhood Barbers
For $12, you’ll get a dry haircut, maybe a spritz from a water bottle—although a shampoo is only $3 more. But owner Eric Uvaydov knows his way around a hipster head (he can do a mohawk, a Caesar, or a buzz cut), and John Bartlett, Narciso Rodriguez, and GQ’s Jim Nelson are regulars. If you really want to splurge, a hot shave is $8.

WOMEN’S HAIRCUT
NYC Looking Good
Thick, wavy hair is a tricky proposition, but Zoila Burga knows how to cut simple styles that don’t look too heavy and fall just right (she’s also good with straight, curly, and frizzy). For $19.95, clients get a shampoo and a cut. Blow-dry is DIY; for another $20 you can have it done.

KIDS’ HAIRCUT
Kidz Cut Zone
In a city where $30 has become the standard for a children’s cut, this Park Slope shop does them for a reasonable $19; bang trims are $7. Every tenth haircut is free, girls get free manicures, and twins pay for only one cut between them on Wednesdays. There’s plenty of TV, toys, balloons, and lollipops to keep kids distracted.
