This place has it all: branding, customer service, and experienced barbers. At first I was intrigued by the shops branding from popular movie “Kinsman,” so I decided to try it out. I sat down with Yuri who I must absolutely recommend. He has 20+ years of experience and he shows it by treating haircuts like an art form. Phenomenal haircuts. It’s best to make a reservation but they do take walk-ins. Friendly staff, will come again!

Love the shop, relatively easy to find street parking especially later in the day. Have been going to Anthony for years as my personal barber. In fact, I was balding and received a hair transplant in Istanbul in order to keep doing so! The interior is a quaint yet organized space with an almost wooden cabin sauna type of feel sans the sauna-like temperature. Highly recommend this shop and Anthony to anyone looking for a haircut or beard trim in the area.

Yuri is the best! After moving to the city and struggling finding a good affordable barber, I started going to him and loved my haircut every time. He is always on time, listens to what I want, and gives me an impeccable haircut for a great price. Highly recommended!

If you want a killer haircut, go see Yuri at The Kinsman. He has been cutting my hair for over 7 years now and does a fantastic job. My hair is tricky but Yuri masters it every time. He takes great care, is super profession and takes pride in his craft. Cant go wrong. Highly recommended.

I’ve been going to Anthony for almost 10 years. He is an excellent barber, very professional, superb customer service and is very punctual. Anthony is friendly and makes the time pass by quickly. The shop is very clean and he always has the good music and positive vibes.

As usual in the Kinsman Anthony provided me with top notch serivce...very consistent...accurate...precise and pays attention to detail...so easy to make an appointment...The shop is very clean and front staff member is friendly....Again Anthony is a perfectionist and provides superb service.

This place is excellent!Very respectful for customer time, dont need to repeat twice what I need and how I want my hair to be cut .Very clean and organized place!Towels smells on fresh laundry.I find out for this place though NY times, when I saw pictures of cool retro style barbershop I decided to come and I never regret it!Worth every penny!Highly recommend!

This shop has great reviews and multiple people mentioned specific barbers. They were not there. Someone else cut my hair and trimmed my beard. My haircut and beard trim cost $70 plus tip and did not include a shampoo because “the sink was broken.” I will say that the receptionist was very nice and accommodating. If you are desperate for a cut and want something quick this is an option. If you aren’t rushing you can get much better service and far better grooming at Cipriani on Wall St. It will costs about $15 more, but is completely premium experience. Finally, the place smells funky. If you want to overpay for a mediocre haircut go here. Otherwise keep on hunting.

The Kinsman is by far the best shop Ive been to. Been going to see Yuri for over 6 years now and cant imagine trusting anyone else with a haircut at this point. You can expect a consistent cut each time and great recommendations for new styles.

Ten years ago, after reading a rave review of his work in Time Out NY, I brought my adolescent son to Anthony for a much needed makeover. Soon, my entire family was seeing Anthony, including me, for my high-style, precision pixie cut. His taste level, broad range of skills and easy-going personality made him a perfect fit for us. And we weren’t alone...celebrities love Anthony, too! Over the years Anthony has been featured in high profile fashion and beauty publications including New York magazine and Men’s Fitness. He’s worked the red carpet and styled actors (James Franco!) and rock stars (Rage Against the Machine’s Zack de la Rocha!). Fast forward...my son is now 24 and Anthony is still my guy. His cuts are on-trend and fashion-forward and his skills are continuously evolving. One big difference, however, is that I now cut my family’s hair because, thanks to Anthony, I’m a barber, too! Anthony’s inspiration, encouragement and contagious passion for the business gave me the push I needed to pursue a lifelong dream of being a hairdresser. I may never be as good a stylist as Anthony, but I’m loving it just as much. So, a huge shout out to Anthony for his support, friendship and, most importantly, another fabulous haircut! I can’t recommend Anthony enough for any type of precision haircut - from classic men’s scissor cuts to fades to beautiful women’s short styles - and the experience you’ll get from him at The Kinsman.

It was the first visit to this salon. It seemed like a very professional and nice place to visit, when I visited the neighborhood. Yesterday I got the haircut who turned out to be very arrogant, who ignored my all instructions about my haircut I want to get. Have to get back for little adjustment. The end result is unsatisfactory and the whole experience. Thought it was more high end place. Cash only place which is big minus.

Anthony at The Kinsman is a fantastic barber. Ive been going to him for years...I followed him from a previous shop. He knows his stuff, and really listens to what you want done.Ive never had a bad cut from Anthony...and hes a great guy too!

I have been going to the Kinsman for the last year and a half. Yuri is one the best barbers in the city and has been cutting my hair for close to five years.They are always on time, take reservations and are great at getting you in and out while doing an excellent job!

Another beautiful haircut by Anthony. Used to go to him regularly at Barbiere and found him, through blind luck, at Kinsman. Gorgeous barbershop. Will def be back.

Great shop! Go see Yuri! This guy knows what he is doing. I took my boy and he made him feel very comfortable and gave him a great cut. I went to a number of barber shops before and no one knew how to cut my son’s hair . Thank you Yuri for your professionalism!

Anthony is a great barber! Efficient and always leaves my hair looking just how I like it. Highly recommend

Anthony is awesome, have been going to him for years. Great attention to detail and very thorough

Yuri has been cutting my hair for over three years now. Hes professional, precise, and very efficient. Ive gone to a few shops in the area but wasnt happy.Even if I dont see him for a few months hell remember my cut and preferred style without asking. Ill never go to another barber for as long as were both in the city.

This is by far the best barber shop I’ve been to in the past 3 years living in the village. These guys know what they are doing. Highly recommend.

Best fade in town, hands down. Yuri is my go-to and has been for years - all through my long hair phase and into the short one now. Nice shop too - fresh cuts in style.

My roommates highly recommended to see Yuri at the Kinsman. Needed to get a clean cut for a wedding. Yuri did an amazing job on my haircut and shave. Ive tried a few barber shops in the area and wasnt happy. He payed great attention to detail, took his time, was easy to talk to and did exactly what I wanted. Ive never looked so sharp.Be sure to ask for Yuri.It is also a beautifully designed barber shop in the heart of west village and they are COVID safe.

Shops decor is great. Anthony is one of the most professional in NYC, a true master of his craft. Over 10 years and the haircuts are always perfect.

I recently moved back to the east coast and after over a year of covid hair I got my vax and wanted to treat myself to a proper cut. I was pleased to find Anthony was still cutting in NYC and found him at the Kinsman. Anthony is a barber rock star and The Kinsman is very lucky to have him! A great guy and one talented barber. I drove an hour and a half just to get Anthony give me a cut I will definitely will be doing it again. It was worth it. Also the Kinsman has a cool vibe. A perfect little place.

Anthony is the best barber in NYC! Ive been seeing him for almost 10 years and he just moved to The Kinsman, which is a really cool spot. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Anthony gave me a shave was my first professional shave. He pampered me up, used 4 different blades so there would be minimal resistance. It was very comfortable and relaxing!

Love this place! Best barber shop Ive come across in NYC at a reasonable price.

If you want a killer haircut, go see Yuri at The Kinsman. He’s been cutting my hair for over 7 years now and does a great job. My hair is very tricky to cut and took me a while to find the right place. He takes great care, is super professional and accommodating. You can’t go wrong. Highly recommend.

Been seeing Yuri since I moved to the City. He has exceptional attention to detail, and takes his time. I always leave satisfied with my cut. Consistency and quality.

Yuri has been cutting my hair for 5+ years. Yuris attention to detail is superb and the haircut is consistently excellent. I occasionally treat myself to a hot shave/straight razor shave, which is smooth and relaxing. The Kinsman runs on schedule, takes appointments and is clean and orderly. This is the place to get your hair cut, and Yuri is the man for the job!

Yuri has been my go-to barber for 4+ years. He’s an amazing barber, very detailed oriented, takes his time and a wonderful person to talk to. Highly recommend Yuri and The Kinsman.

NJ gave me the best shave I ever received - I wanted to stay in the chair and nap afterwards! All good things, they say, never last.

Very happy that Anthony joined this excellent Barbershop. Anthony has been cutting my hair for over 5 years now and there’s no one else I trust more, so much so that I’ve brought 2 of my best friends to Anthony to get a haircut for their weddings. Anthony has been featured in magazines, worked with celebrities and deserves all the recognition he has received! Best barber in Manhattan!

Great, consistent cut. I’ve been getting my hair cut by Yuri for years. If he ever moves to Hawaii, I’ll be forced to follow.

Highly recommend! Anthony is the best.

I’ve been coming to The Kinsman for 5 years now. Their service, professionalism, and high quality cuts are the reason I wouldn’t go to any other barber shop in NYC. Ask for NJ he’s the Michael Jordan of barbers.

Yuri has been my barber for the better part of five years. He’s a true professional—highly recommend. He’s great for a cut, and if you have the time, stay for a shave. You’re in good hands with Yuri.

Really great haircut from Yuri. The space is nicely appointed for social distancing and plexiglass separating each chair. Highly recommend this place and Yuri for any haircut and shave.

Yuri, is the man! Great cut and attention to detail. Cash only so make sure to bring.

NJ is the best high quality mens haircut in NYC. Ask anyone. Simply the best. Been going to him for 8+ years

Yuri has been cutting my hair for a few years, and he is the best! Couldnt recommend him more. He always does a spectacular job. And the Kinsman is a great home for him; spacious, comfortable and clean, and theyre doing an amazing job with Covid protocols as well.

Love this place! NJ and Anthony are amazing barbers

This place is a true west village gem. I have had my hair cut by Yuri for years, who recently moved here from a nearby barber shop in the West Village. Yuri is a fantastic barber, extremely detail oriented and always leaves me with a perfect cut that I am happy to walk out with. I’ve also had him cut my beard and he did a great job taking care of flyaways and re-shaping. He cares about quality and always communicates before he cuts. I personally appreciate his friendly personality, which gives the cut that authentic, interactive, NYC barber experience. The barber shop itself is also beautifully designed. There are articles that have been written specifically about the bespoke and unique design elements that the founding barber used to create a really warm, functional and inviting space. I live in midtown east and can say it is definitely worth the hike down.

Yuri had been cutting my hair for about 5 years now. He is extremely skilled, professional, and listen to you as his client. He takes tremendous pride in his work and strives to deliver the best results possible. I recommend him with the highest degree of enthusiasm.

This place was great. Super clean and the staff is very friendly. Ive gotten my haircut a few times over there and Ive always left feeling clean and excited to show it all my friends. Anthony is the best barber Ive ever had. Highly recommend this place and Anthony.

I started going to Yuri almost a year ago and Ive been getting my haircuts from him every two weeks since, he consistently gives me great cuts and is just an all around great guy. 10 out of 10 would recommend him, and The Kinsmen.

I’ve been coming here for the last two months and couldn’t be happier with my experience. The shop itself is very well maintained and reminiscent of old school barbershops. Anthony is very detailed oriented and takes great care in shaping up my hair and beard. You definitely get what you pay for.

Went for the first time two months ago and then went back again today asking for Anthony, who did an amazing job both timrs. While the place is aesthetically pleasing, the actual work put in exceeds that by miles. Ask for Anthony, he will listen to everything you ask for no matter how tiny or specific you want the length or style to be, very easy to talk to and enjoy your time with.

Ive been going to Barbiere in the East Village with Anthony for 5+ years. When he moved over here so did I. This shop is great. Clean, high end, professional, and all for a reasonable price. Anthony is top notch. Not only is he a pro, but he is also an awesome guy with a great personality. Highly recommend him and the new shop!

Anthony’s been cutting my hair for a couple of years even before cutting at The Kinsman. Anthony’s a pro and The Kinsman is just a great spot. COVID safety protocols are on point and give me comfort during these crazy times. Highly recommend!

I have been getting my hair cut for years now.Whether I go to my guy or someone else on the staff, the results are always great. If you are looking for a classic young NYC look this is a reliable place to go.Call ahead and book your appointment, but they have always been accommodating to me when I walk in.

Yuri is great - has been cutting my hair for years. Great for tight / skin fades!

Anthony has been my barber for the past nine years. We’re at the point that I don’t have to tell him much about what I want, he knows how to give a perfect cut. When he told me that he was moving to The Kinsman, I knew I would follow him there. Give them a call and ask for Anthony - you’ll be in good hands.

I would highly recommend Anthony as he provides a proper scissor cut.

Ive been getting my haircut with Anthony for many years. Hes very professional and friendly and most importantly listens to what youd like to get done with your hair and advises appropriately. I highly recommend Anthony at The Kinsman.

I moved from SF to NYC and Yuri was recommended some 3,000 miles away. Ive been in NY for 3.5 years and havent gone to anyone else. Hes prompt, no BS, and consistent. Covid-19 safe too.

Been going to the Kinsman for a year.Anthony, my barber. Best in the business!!! Great friendly & clean environment!! 5 stars all the way!!

Ive been going to see Yuri every 2 to 3 weeks for almost 6 years now. Yuri is always on time and often is able to fit me in during a walk-in even when the shop is slammed. Very friendly and a good conversationalist. Smart with a sense of humor. Highly recommend.

Very poor skills with my fade. I asked for natural back which supposed to be faded. Wasnt done properly when i came home to see in the mirror. You would figure paying over 50 dollars for a haircut with tip you would have top of the line haircut. Nope!! For $35 i got a much better detailed haircut in town. 0 stars!!

Yuri was great. Very clean shop and very communicative barber. Enjoyed my experience.

Been going to NJ for 10 years. The best!

Kinsman is your place and Yuri is your guy! After 5 years in the city and testing a few of the most hip spots, I finally found my go-to barber. Yuri consistently giving me perfect cuts. He listens and is super professional. I could not recommend Yuri enough!

I’ve been going to Anthony for years for haircuts. He’s one of the best in NYC and consistently gives terrific cuts for me and my two sons - and is great to talk with.

Anthony has been my barber for six years now and recently joined Kinsman. He is incredibly talented and an amazing barber. From my few visits to Kinsman thus far, its up-scale, clean, and very adherent to the health guidelines due to Covid.

Been coming to the Kinsman for years and have never been let down! High-end, clean barber shop in the Village. Make sure you ask for Yuri, a true professional!

Ask for Yuri he is skilled in all styles. He’s a veteran in the game and you will not be disappointed !

Highly recommend!The barbershop is excellent, true west Villiage staple. Highly recommend them & Yuri

Super comfortable space + theyve taken awesome precautions to keep a great experience in a socially distanced world. Highly recommend Yuri (@yuri_1 on instagram) -- hes been my barber for six years and counting!

Barber Yuri is my long time barber, and he never fails to give me exactly what I ask for. Keeps a conversation going, easy to talk to and the staff are some of the most friendly folks I’ve met since coming to NYC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Yuri has been consistently great for me for 4+ years now. Always a great haircut, always on time with his appointments, always a friendly chat, and overall always a great experience. Before finding him, I had tried multiple other places, often switching to a new one every few weeks. That search was put on pause since meeting Yury, and thankfully I have not even needed to consider looking for another barber since then!Yuri moved to The Kinsman from a nearby barber shop during the COVID re-openings. This new location is larger and more comfortable, and they are being very deligent about taking all the necessary precautions: masks, spreaded far apart chairs, dividing partitions, sanitizers, etc. You will have nothing to worry about here.

Ive been coming here for years and at this point Ive gotten a cut from just about every different barber -- theyre all fantastic. I even recently moved further away but I still come back because I cant get my hair cut anywhere else.

Great haircut in the neighborhood- thanks Yuri!

EVAN no longer works here - you can reach him through instagram @evanbarbernycEVAN is the best, hes been taking care of me for over a year now. A true master barber using impressive techniques to achieve the perfect hairstyle. Fades, hard parts, long hairstyles, he aces them all.

Great barber shop, very clean. Yuri recently switched over here, and he is the best barber Ive found in NYC

Premium barbershop, doesnt get a lot better as far as mens cuts go. However it is cash only.

Issac gives my 8 year old a great cut.

Had a very good haircut with Yuri. Hes been my barber for 2 years and has recently joined the Kinsman - highly recommended!

Great barbershop - been coming here for years and the owner and the shop are both amazing. The owner is extremely diligent and passionate about his business. Can’t recommend it enough

NJ is the man. Find him if you want a good cut

Ive been getting haircuts from Yuri for several years now and dont let any other barber touch my hair anymore! Great ambience, spacious, and now after the Covid lockdown pretty safe!

Clean attractive spaceExcellent experienced staff

Weve been getting my hair cut at The Kinsman for about two years. They always take great care in cutting my hair, which is inherently difficult to cut (very straight with a couple of cowlicks). I get a consistent, great cut -- highly recommend.

NJ is the big boss. Best barber in town.

Great haircuts at a great price

I’ve been going to Yuri at Kinsman for years and I would never go to anywhere else. If you need a great cut, he’s your guy.

Space is gorgeous. Anthony is the real deal.

Been going for 3 years. Great guys and always a super tight cut.

Been going to Yuri for years, great barber, highly recommend him and the shop

It was my first time visiting today and I can say that my barber Roni was pretty friendly and the location is beautiful. I was very happy with the quality and time spent on my cut, however, at a price of $42 it is not worth it. My previous barber was $15 and did just as good of a job. You’re paying your the prestige not the product. In addition the prices are very secretive, not being posted anywhere. Overall I am not satisfied with my experience and feel I could have done much better things with the money.

Great staff and great haircuts.

Best haircut in NYC! Ive been visiting NJ for about 7 years now, and every single cut has been great.I even time my haircuts around travel to make sure I can see NJ and avoid unknown barbers out-of-town.

Top notch service and great people. I’ve been going to the Kingsman for three years and never had a bad haircut. They care about providing the best possible service and never rush to get you out fast. I would say attention to detail and knowledge puts this place above any other barbershop I’ve ever been.

These guys really are the best. What sets them apart from other barbers I’ve been to is the fact that they do not rush you through your haircut. They take the time to listen to what you want, then cut your hair until it looks great. In my 3+ years going here I have not had a cut I thought was subpar or needed a touch up. Ask for NJ, he’s the best!

I did not stop by. I am giving the stars for atmosphere.

I was a walk-in so I did no prior research on the shop. The hair cut was not great. They spent 10 minutes and mostly used the machine. Overall, it looks very edgy compared to my usual barber‘s cut. And they did not do a proper transition from my beard to short hair. They asked $42... I had $9.99 cuts in this city that looked better.

It took me a year living in NY Metro to find a go-to barber. NJ and his team consistently do top-quality work for a reasonable price ($40). The shop is spartan, but their work is surgical...isnt that what you want from a barber, anyway?They take walk-ins, but Id highly recommend making an appointment. You wont be disappointed.

New to the city and looking for a consistent haircut. Came across Kinsman and Happy to say they are a good choice. I know NJ and Jonathan and both have a good eye and offer great cuts.

Ask for anyone but Isaac. Worst experience + worst haircut... and that’s not an exaggeration. Trust me, I wish it was. Waited over 30 mins with an appointment for a 5 minute rushed haircut. Started going to town without even asking what I wanted. Cut off way too much at the top and it was already too late before I could say stop. I’d give a negative star if it was an option. It’s a shame. I’ve had a couple average experiences here.

Great cut, great people, beautiful shop! Highly recommended!

Ive been getting my hair cut at The Kinsman for about two years. They always take great care in cutting my hair, which is inherently difficult to cut (very straight with a couple of cowlicks). I get a consistent, great cut -- highly recommend.

I’ve had two haircuts here with very different results. The first haircut was an incredible 10 just perfect. It even gave me a new insight into the waves in my hair. The second experience from a different barber at the Kinsman was a total chop job. Uneven in spots and far from what I asked for. His name is Ronny. Perhaps he was just off but I’m staying away.
