What North Merrick walks in for
North Merrick sits right on top of Merrick, and that makes Camp Ave Barbershop the closest thing you have to a barber on your own block. Fades, tapers, kids' haircuts, hot towel shaves — it's all a few minutes down the road, and you don't need an appointment. Walk-ins are how most of our North Merrick customers show up, and the free parking lot means the whole trip stays easy.
We're a family barbershop, and North Merrick families are a big part of the chairs on any given week. Dads bring the kids, the kids grow up and start asking for skin fades, and somewhere in there grandpa starts coming too. If your child dreads haircuts, tell us — our barbers slow down, keep it calm, and make the cut painless instead of a standoff.
The craft side matters just as much as the welcome. Customers on Google keep pointing at the same things: skillful fades, attention to detail, and how clean the shop is. One reviewer put it simply — "You get a perfect haircut here every time. And the barbers are so nice." That's the standard we hold whether you're in for a full scissor cut or a five-minute line-up.
Getting here from North Merrick is about as simple as an errand gets. Head south into Merrick, park for free in the lot or on the street, and take a seat. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, we take credit, debit, and mobile pay, and if you want to check the wait before you leave the house, call (516) 868-4791 and we'll tell you straight.
How we work in North Merrick
Men's Haircuts & Scissor Cuts
A lot of North Merrick guys land on a rhythm with us: same barber, same cut, every few weeks. Whether that's a classic scissor cut or clipper work with a scissor finish, we take the time to get the shape right instead of rushing you out. Add a wash and you leave with the hair actually finished, not just shorter. Walk in whenever — no booking required.
Fades & Tapers
Fades are what our reviewers mention most, and North Merrick sends us plenty of them — high fades, low fades, skin fades, tapers. The difference is in the blend: no hard lines where clipper work meets the top, no patchy transitions. If you've been driving past Merrick to chase a decent fade somewhere else, you can stop. It's right here, walk-in friendly.
Kids' Haircuts
North Merrick parents know the drill: a kid who hates haircuts turns a ten-minute cut into a whole afternoon. Our barbers are patient with children — we let them settle in, talk them through it, and keep the clippers calm. First haircuts, school-picture cuts, the works. It's a family barbershop, so nobody's giving your squirmy four-year-old a dirty look.
Beard Trims & Shaping
A beard grown out over a few lazy North Merrick weekends still needs a real shape. We handle beard care and maintenance properly — trimming to a clean line, shaping the cheeks and neckline, and tightening up goatees and mustaches. A hot towel finish comes with it. Pair it with your haircut or walk in for the beard alone.
Hot Towel Shaves
A hot towel shave is the one service worth slowing down for. Hot towels soften everything up, then it's careful, classic barbering down to smooth skin. North Merrick customers book these before weddings, reunions, or just because a Saturday deserved it. It's a short drive for something you can't do properly at home.
Shape-Ups & Line-Ups
Between full cuts, a shape-up keeps you looking fresh without the time commitment. North Merrick is close enough that this works as a genuine quick stop — in the chair, crisp edges around the hairline and temples, back out. Our barbers treat line work as detail work, because a crooked line-up is worse than none. Walk in; these visits move fast.
Buzz Cuts & Crew Cuts
Not every cut needs a consultation. Buzz cuts and crew cuts are quick clipper work, but quick doesn't mean careless — even guard work all the way around, a clean neckline, no missed patches behind the ears. For North Merrick guys who want low-maintenance hair handled right, this is the fastest chair in the shop.
Head Shaves
If you've decided to take it all the way down, do it in a barber chair instead of over your bathroom sink. Our head shaves come with hot towel treatment and a genuinely smooth finish — the back of your own head is the one spot you can't do well yourself. Plenty of North Merrick regulars keep this on a standing rotation.
Senior Haircuts
Senior haircuts here are unhurried by design. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, parking is free and close to the door, and our barbers take their time with older customers — no rushing anyone in or out of the chair. For North Merrick seniors, it's a short, easy trip. Families often bring a parent along and make it a two-cut visit.
Haircut & Wash Combos
The haircut and wash combo is the full reset: cut, wash, and a proper finish so you walk out ready rather than covered in clippings. It's popular with North Merrick customers heading somewhere straight after — work, dinner, a game. One visit, one chair, done. Walk-ins welcome for combos same as everything else.
Eyebrow & Neck Cleanups
Neck hair creeping over the collar two weeks after a cut is the kind of small thing that bugs you daily. From North Merrick, fixing it is a five-minute detour — eyebrow and neck cleanups are quick detail work between full cuts. No appointment, no production. It's the cheapest-feeling way to look freshly cut without getting one.

My son melts down at haircuts. Can you handle that?
