a barbershop the way it was always meant to be

Staple Street Barbers was founded in 2025 by Master Barber Deni Mrkulić and a group of close friends who had been working in the neighborhood for a decade, with a vision of creating the cutting edge yet welcoming space that reflected the New York City they knew and loved. One that celebrated culture and art, but made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. A place to hang as much as a place of business. And a foothold from which he and his partners could bring their own energy to the neighborhood that had given them so much.
