Les Enfants Terribles, owners Matthew Previtera and Benoit Peyrouse
Les Enfants Terribles, a small stylish haircut bar at 85 Bergen Street opened in Boerum Hill this past July but has already settled quite nicely into the community. On a recent Thursday morning, as I was meeting owners Matthew Previtera and Benoit Peyrouse for the first time, a steady stream of clients stopped by to make appointments and neighbors waved 'hello' while passing by.
This is exactly the kind of feel Previtera and Peyrouse were hoping to achieve: a classy, old-time neighborhood barber shop where one can get a great haircut in an unpretentious, relaxed atmosphere.
Previtera and Peyrouse, the 'incorrigible children', who both previously worked at Persons Of Interest, had been looking for a commercial space in the neighborhood for a while, when they came across the small space next to Van Leeuwen's on Bergen Street. Previously occupied by a dry cleaner, the two spent weeks renovating and reconfiguring the storefront. The transformation is quite successful. The level of detail and the welcoming atmosphere is what makes Les Enfants Terrible a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.
The hair bar is open 7 days a week. You can make an appointment by calling 347 763 2124, or by visiting its web site lesenfantsterriblesbk.com.
*In case you were wondering, the two enfants terribles, were both born in 1982, hence the "since" reference.

I've gotten a haircut here twice and had good experiences both times. I recommend them if you want a "cut above" the usual gang of barbers in the neighborhood. Not cheap, but it's convenient for me, living off of Bergen St.
ReplyDelete$50 for a kids haircut? GTFO that better come with 2 hours of babysitting too.
ReplyDeleteMaggie's Spa on Sackett Street will do a blow out for $26.
