Hempstead & Camp Ave Barbershop
Clients across Hempstead rely on Camp Ave Barbershop for dependable, professional service.
What Hempstead walks in for
"Great haircut at a great price" — that's a Camp Ave Barbershop customer on Google, and it lands differently now that Long Island haircut prices have been climbing faster than most people's patience. Value is the question Hempstead residents are actually asking, and this Merrick family barbershop answers it the honest way: with a cut careful enough that the money makes sense.
The care shows up in specifics. Barbers talk the cut through before picking up the clippers, build fades and tapers in patient stages, and finish with the line work customers keep mentioning in their reviews. Attention to detail isn't a slogan on the wall here — it's the reason reviewers describe the barbers as skillful and the results as consistent.
From Hempstead, with Uniondale next door and Freeport and Baldwin close by, there's no shortage of chairs — but there's a real difference between a chair and a barber you trust. Camp Ave stacks the practical reasons on top of the craft: walk-ins welcome, a free parking lot instead of a meter hunt, and a shop customers describe as spotless.
It's built for the whole household too. Kids' haircuts come with patience included, senior haircuts come with a wheelchair accessible entrance and easy parking, and payment works however you carry it — credit, debit, or mobile tap. Call (516) 868-4791 with any question and you'll get a plain answer.
How we work in Hempstead
Men's Haircuts & Scissor Cuts
When haircut prices keep climbing across Long Island, the question isn't finding the cheapest chair — it's finding the cut that's worth what you paid. A men's haircut at Camp Ave gets unhurried scissor work and a barber who checks the details before you leave the chair. Walk in from Hempstead without an appointment, and add a wash to make it a full reset.
Fades & Tapers
A fade should still look intentional two weeks out, and that comes down to blending done patiently in the shop. Skin fades, tapers, precise line work — the exact things Google reviewers praise about this barbershop. If your last few fades have been hit-or-miss, consistency is the thing worth traveling for.
Kids' Haircuts
Hempstead parents know the difference between a shop that allows kids and one that welcomes them. Camp Ave is the second kind: a family barbershop with patient barbers who make a dreaded haircut painless, even for the kid who cried through the last one somewhere else. Walk in when it fits the family schedule — no appointment gymnastics required.
Beard Trims & Shaping
Beard work runs from a simple cleanup to full beard care and maintenance: shaping, neckline, cheek lines, goatee and mustache trims, and a hot towel finish. It's the add-on that makes a haircut look complete. Ask the barber to set a shape you can hold with your own trimmer between visits — they'll show you where the lines sit.
Hot Towel Shaves
The hot towel shave is barbering's original service, and it survives here in full: hot towels, lather, a careful shave, a clean smooth finish. It's a reason to visit even in a week when you don't need a haircut — before an event, after a rough stretch, or simply because a proper shave feels nothing like a hurried one.
Shape-Ups & Line-Ups
Need a clean shape-up today, not Thursday? That's what the walk-in policy is for. The service itself is quick — hairline, temples, and neck brought back to crisp edges — and it's the highest-visibility fix in barbering. Fold it into any trip from Hempstead through Merrick and you leave looking freshly cut.
Buzz Cuts & Crew Cuts
A buzz or crew cut is only simple if it's even — and even is exactly the part home clippers get wrong. The shop delivers uniform length, a deliberate neckline, and cleaned-up edges in a short sitting. It's in-and-out barbering that still grows out without patches.
Head Shaves
Head shaves get the hot towel treatment first, softening the scalp so the shave finishes smooth instead of raw. The barber covers the zones you can't see, keeping the result even front to back. If you maintain a shaved head, a periodic barber reset keeps the home routine easy the rest of the month.
Senior Haircuts
Senior haircuts are a listed service here, not a favor. Free parking sits close to a wheelchair accessible entrance, there's a restroom inside, and the barbers give older customers the time the cut actually needs. Families around Hempstead coordinating a parent's haircut can make it one easy, unhurried stop.
Haircut & Wash Combos
The haircut and wash combo starts at the sink and ends with a style, and everything in between benefits: washed hair cuts cleaner, sits truer, and shows the barber exactly what it does on its own. It turns a maintenance errand into a visit you leave feeling genuinely put together. Ask for it when you want the complete job.
Eyebrow & Neck Cleanups
Eyebrow and neck cleanups are the smallest service on the menu and the one people forget they need — until the collar fuzz and stray brows show up in a photo. It's detail work handled quickly, easy to add to any cut or grab on its own. A tidy neckline buys you weeks of looking freshly cut.
Hempstead questions, answered
What does a haircut or fade cost at Camp Ave?
Prices aren't listed on this page, and making up a number wouldn't help you. Call (516) 868-4791 before you make the trip from Hempstead and you'll get a straight answer. What we can quote is a customer's own Google review: "Great haircut at a great price."
Where do I park coming from Hempstead?
In the shop's free lot, or on the street — that's free too. Parking is one of the things that keeps the whole visit easy.
What actually happens during a hot towel shave?
Hot towels soften the beard and skin first, then the barber works through a careful, classic shave to a smooth finish. It's slower than a home shave on purpose — that's where the comfort and the closeness come from.
Is Camp Ave good for someone who's picky about their line-up?
Precise line work is one of the things customers mention most about this shop, along with attention to detail. Tell the barber exactly how you like your edges — that conversation is expected, not a nuisance.
Do you take walk-ins from outside Merrick?
Yes — walk-ins are welcome no matter where you're driving from, Hempstead included. No appointment, no advance notice, just come in.
Just walk in.
Grab the bench out front if there’s a short wait — you’ll be in a chair before the coffee cools.
