You must watch the first 2 minutes of this documentary on The Sartorialist (just the most well known street fashion photographer and blogger) for the shots of his barber and barbershop. It's straight out of Victorian New York.
Some digging reveals that the barber shop is FSC Barber in New York. There are some more images at both the New York Times and New York Magazine.

Thanks for the tip -- but you know, looks like it is NOT a documentary. It's a commercial for Intel, if you watch it to the end you realize...
:-)
What really makes this lovely place come alive is the barber himself, dressed as he would have been decades ago, snapping the towel onto his customer's face. I wonder how many of us who live in steampunk environments reflect our surroundings, in our dress or otherwise...that would be interesting to explore.

Thank you! I saw this the other day on his blog and was drooling over the amazing barber shop. I love love love the aesthetic of (and really the entire principle behind) traditional barber shops, and this is a wonderful example.
