Welcome!
WELCOME! In 2020, the Barber Lounge celebrated 20 years of service to upstate New Yorkers at 1775 Western Avenue.
As a men’s hairstylist, I provide salon services for men that reflect their personal man-style.
I am an artist first and everything else just flows.
— Michael John


SERVICES
Services include: haircut, wash, style, edge-ups, and facial grooming. At present, due to COVID-19 restrictions, facial grooming services may vary due to government compliance and CDC guidelines/restrictions.

What Makes Us Unique
“Unique, personalized, artistic experience”
–Dr. S. Sokaris
HAIR, MUSIC, and LOCAL CULTURE. The barber lounge has always been a place where I feel I do my best work. As a downstate native, my goal was to bring a little village vibe to Upstate NY.
My clients enjoy the chill environment where they can be themselves, all while getting a top-of-the-line haircut and style in a one-of-a-kind barbershop.

In 2014, BLU made its debut in a national broadcast by PBS A House of Arts as a venue/platform for original music and artistry in the capital region.
Since then, BLU has evolved from a music venue to a platform for original music, local culture, and great conversations. Follow us on our social media for our live streams. If you wish to jam, be featured, or host your own show fill out and submit the interest form.
