Mama’s Boy Barbershop in
New York (NY)

If you’re looking for the best haircut in Hell’s Kitchen, you need to see Miguel. I’ve tried a dozen shops in Midtown Manhattan, but nobody matches his precision. Whether you need a skin fade, a classic taper, or a beard trim, Miguel is the man. He’s a perfectionist with the clippers and a great guy to talk to. Don’t waste your time anywhere else—book Miguel and thank me later.

Kelvin and Miguel are a dynamic duo offering next level looks. Their signature cuts include the perfect fade and they have the best energy to complete the experience.

Been coming here for ~1yr. Everyone here is excellent, but I will give a shout out to Max who is one of the best barbers I've ever had cut my hair - he's super meticulous to make sure every hair is in perfect order, and that I look as good as humanly possible when leaving his seat. It's a great shop, good vibes, good prices, great barbers.

Kelvin is a very talented and skilled barber. This visit with him was very positive, and i am very satisfied. I would highly recommend getting a haircut from Kelvin to anyone. Thank you very much!

Kelvin is the most professional, personable and incredible barber. I have been going to him for years and can say he’s the best in Hell’s Kitchen. Each cut he gives you is so detailed and thorough, and he always goes the extra length to make you feel and look your best. Highly recommend him!

Best haircut I’ve gotten in years. Friendly, detailed & great price. Miguel was amazing! Kelvin cut my hair once and he was just as good! The detail was amazing

I have been with Miguel for 2 years, most reliable person ever, you ask him the type of haircut you want and he will get it done.

I've been going to Miguel who is a humble force of a stylist. He's infinitely detailed and knows how to match hair style to the contours of your face. The shop is welcoming and clean, and most importantly a platform for great work. The stylists are both convivial and focused--a hard balance to strike. It's hard to say enough good things.

One of the best barbers in Hell’s kitchen NYC. Professional and attentive. Highly recommended. Kedison and Miguel have been my barbers for over 4 years. You can never go wrong with them.

I had an outstanding experience at this barbershop. The owner is a true professional with exceptional attention to detail. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and very well organized. His team is incredibly kind, patient, and dedicated to giving every client the best possible result. The haircut was flawless. He listened carefully to what I wanted and delivered a clean, precise, and stylish cut that exceeded my expectations. The care, skill, and consistency here are on a completely different level. What makes this place even more special is the family feeling. His mother works alongside him and adds an extra touch of warmth and hospitality that you do not find in many places. You immediately feel at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top quality grooming in a comfortable and friendly environment. Five stars without hesitation.

I have been going here for a while now and absolutely love the service and treatment I receive. Max is my guy and gets me right every single time! He gets my beard and hair right with the sharpest lineup and the cleanest fade. He knows exactly what I want whenever I describe it to him and pays close attention to details to give you the best possible cut. I highly recommend you check this place out and you won’t be disappointed!

I came to Mama’s Boy Barbershop for the first time. My little one got an amazing hair cut by Miguel. The whole experience was pleasant and everyone in there was friendly too. I can give 10 stars if there was a choice. definitely coming back.

I’m relatively new to NYC and wish I would have found this shop sooner. I’ve been coming here for 4 months. Barbers are masters of their craft, friendly service, and reasonably priced. Book with Mo, he’s my go to guy.

Max is the best barber! He is incredibly talented and his haircuts are very fashionable and professional. He really knows what suits you ! Is you want to look your best book Max

I’ve been getting my haircuts with Max for about a year, and I’m always happy with the result. He’s got a great eye for style and always knows what works best, even when I don’t have a clear idea myself. I completely trust his vision — every time I leave, I look and feel great. Highly recommend!

I’ve been goin to MBB for 4 year or so and I would highly recommend them. The owner Ben is super friendly and accommodating (he used to cut my hair). I currently get my fade done by Max and he has a great eye for style and has been very consistent. You can walk in or make an appointment with a specific barber which makes it really convenient.

I always leave more than satisfied. You can really tell the dedication and attention to detail in every cut. He listens to what you want, gives great advice based on your hair type, and always leaves a flawless finish. The atmosphere is relaxed, great conversation, and awesome music. Without a doubt, the best barber — 100% recommended!

Miguel has been my barber for over a year and has not once disappointed. He can always squeeze me in, even last minute. There have been a few times when I have gone to a different barber and I instantly regretted it as soon as I left. With Miguel, he understand what you want and goes above and beyond with fading your beard into your hair. I recommend him to everyone in hells kitchen

Easily best barbershop in the city. The shop is so friendly and Mo is truly one of the best barbers I’ve had. Very detailed and skilled at what he does. He always listens and asks questions to make sure you have the best cut possible. Always leave here looking great!

Miguel gave such a nice service. His skills and attention made me feel comfy. I’ll come back for sure!

His energy is always kind and positive and you can tell he genuinely cares about his craft and his clients. I always leave the chair looking sharp and feeling even better. Highly recommend!

Miguel is the best barber in NYC and it’s not a question. Top tier service and skill. Wherever he goes.. I go!

Hands down the best barbershop in town! The atmosphere is super friendly and welcoming, and the place is always clean and professional. My barber really took the time to listen to what I wanted and gave me one of the sharpest, cleanest cuts I’ve had in a long time. You can tell they care about the details and the customer experience. I walked out feeling confident and fresh — definitely my new go-to spot. Highly recommend!

I had a fantastic experience with Ben! He’s not only highly skilled but also very professional and friendly. He really took the time to understand what I wanted, and the result came out perfect. The haircut was sharp and clean, and I left feeling fresh and confident. Highly recommend Ben if you’re looking for a barber who knows his craft and provides excellent service!

This is a great neighborhood barbershop. Everyone is super friendly. I won't go anywhere else because of Angela. She gives the most excellent haircut EVERY TIME! She has been cutting my hair for years. If she were to leave I don't know what I'd do. She cuts my hair perfectly each and every time and I don't have to worry how the cut will come out. I highly recommend Angela.

I hesitated a bit before writing this review—want to know why? Because Ben is truly that good, and part of me wanted to keep this gem of a barber to myself! His professionalism and expertise are unmatched; every single haircut I’ve gotten has exceeded my expectations. Whether you need a fresh cut, a trim, or beard care, this is absolutely the place to go. And while Ben is outstanding, the entire team at Mama’s Boy Barbershop is also top-notch. Thank you, Ben and crew, for consistently delivering excellence!
