This place is awesome! Staff is very kind. The place is clean and has a nice ambiance (good music and it's not at a deafening volume). Israel cut my hair and did a really great job - very attentive to detail. I will definitely be back! read more

Good service and people and atmosphere. I go to Mike. He's pretty legit. I always walk out looking handsome.

We walked into this barbershop during a weekend trip... my son needed a haircut during his school break. They were able to take him right away, and he was happy with the fade he got. I saw several others walk out with good-looking cuts while we waited outside. Reasonably priced for the City too. read more

By far the best barbershop in Hell's Kitchen Gabby is an excellent barber and gives some of the sharpest fades. He's a very nice guy and always offers water and drinks. The prices here are very reasonable for NYC standards and this place has become my go to spot for months now. read more

Mike is the best. I've been coming here for a while and he's reliable, quick, and not expensive

As my last review was over two years ago, I thought a quick update was necessary... Consistent and great - the two words I use to describe my experience at Grum'd Barbers. My cuts are always on point, and the barbers have an impeccable attention to detail while keeping their clients happy and the line moving, when necessary. David, Gabi, and Avi are very personable and I recommend coming here if you are a local in need of a great haircut! read more

Wow! Avi is a great barber. I brought my boyfriend in for a haircut and beard trim today after making a reservation. I am so pleased with the results, he looks wonderful!! We walked in and he was immediately seated and I was whisked to the couch to sit behind. We were offered shots and water, the former I politely declined and the latter I gratefully accepted. Avi got to work on my partner's hair. When he was done, he had the sharpest edges, a really well groomed beard, a couple of tips to maintain the beard and 'stache, and a few hummus recommendations. Avi, it was great meeting you! Partner was pleased, I was pleased, we will be back. read more

Excellent professional haircuts in a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend any of the barbers at Grumd.

I called Grumd looking for a barber that cuts black hair. The person on the phone said I should try Alex or Israel. I randomly chose Israel. He asked me what I wanted and did it quickly and beautifully. I will be a returning customer for Israel. If you are looking for a nice barbershop that cuts black hair in Hell's Kitchen I highly recommend Grumd. EXCELLENT! read more

I have been a regular customer at Grumd back in the pre-COVID days, when I used to live a few blocks away and would stop by every month for a haircut and a beard trim. Now I have moved across the Hudson to NJ, and yet I still come back to Grumd for every haircut, since they are by far the best! Gabi in particular is my go to guy, he always knows the exact right length of hair that works for me. Highly recommended! read more

I have been coming regularly for a few years. My experiences have been really good. But....recently I have noticed a change in attitude....almost as if I wasn't as welcome....I let it ride until late June when I was having a hard time booking an appointment. When I tried "walking in" which I rarely have done, I was told "Well we're busy. It IS PRIDE week!" (very off hand, btw!) DUH! I came in 2 weeks ago and got an awful cut...my hair looked like I had a toupe! I have always liked Gabby and most of the barbers and I was originally struck by the friendliness and hospitality... but lately I have encountered a change. Frankly I think there is an aire of rushed and overworked! Most of my cuts have been great but lately....I have felt uncomfortable. Gabby works hard ...but he also books appointments AND answers the phone WHILE trying to cut hair...servant to two(3) masters? read more

I went here for to get cleaned up the day before my wedding. Alex and Mike were absolutely incredible. Alex's attention to detail is next to none, he's an absolute master of his trade. I look forward to coming back the next time I visit the city. Thanks again! read more

I have been getting my hair cut here for almost a year. Best haircut and beard trim I've had in recent memory. Highly recommend.

Don't bother, go somewhere else. I booked at 12:30 appointment online. I showed up at 12:18 and nobody said "hello" or "how can we help" or "we'll be right with you." Nothing. At 12:38 I left as all the chairs remained full and nobody showed signs of being finished soon. Grumd called at 12:47 p.m., I didn't answer, to I assume ask where I was. There are too many good barber shops in the neighborhood to deal with unfriendly people who can't keep simple appointments. Go somewhere else read more

Easy to book online same day. We were visiting NYC and my son needed a haircut. This place was great. Super friendly, attention to detail (my son has a lot of hair and a cowlick), and chill vibe. My teen loved his fresh look. read more

Found a great barber open and safe that handled my hair and beard! Very happy with the results and safe service. read more

I've been coming to Gabi for a haircut for what is now at least 4 years. Initially I stumbled in because it was the next closest option to me when I lived in HK after having a less than pleasant experience with the first barbershop that I tried in the area. I haven't looked back since. I moved out of the neighborhood for a little over a year but I still found myself making the trip back every other week. Gabi is hilarious, super friendly, very skilled at what he does, and incredibly consistent. Also now he offers customers booze (which was not a thing when I started coming). What more do you want from your barber? If you're looking for a new barber, this is your guy. read more

My man Matthew was a great spiritual guide for this trip to New York City dot-dot-dot I left Los Angeles without a fresh cut... And unfortunately didn't trust many Barbers open till this Manhattan trip. Thank you Matthew, you made all the difference that day. I feel good with the tip I gave you and the tip for your church read more

I lived in NYC for a while and recently moved to California. However, I still come to NYC for work. Anytime I'm visiting in NYC, I ALWALYS go see Ariel for a haircut. By far, he's the best barber I've ever had in my life. He constantly provides perfect haircuts. read more

It's just like every barbershop. I had a particularly bad haircut so I won't be back. The barber went way shorter than I wanted. It's not a huge deal, hair grows. Still it would have been nice if he listened. read more

I moved in Manhattan about a year ago. During this time I probably went to about 10 different barbershops looking to get a decent haircut. After being very discouraged I was told to go see Gabby at Grumd in Hell's Kitchen. Sat down very skeptical told him what I wanted done, and wow did he impress me! Haven't gone anywhere else since, i see gabby every week to keep it extra fresh. Amazing at skin fades, drop fade, and scissors work! read more

Great location and great barbers. Always get my cut on my scheduled time. They are all amazing and attentive. Get your haircut with Alex he is the best hands down!!! Highly recommended read more

Checking in for my weekend hair fix!! This little barber shop is always busy and for good reason, the barbers are all friendly and strive to give the best cuts. Regular haircut goes for $25. My barber of choice... Carolina ... surprise.. yeah I know, must guys would tend to stay away, but she gets men's hair, she gets style and she is very detail oriented! Been cutting my hair with her a few times and am happy to say I found my barber! read more

I recently moved to Brooklyn, from Hell's Kitchen and I refuse to go any where else. These guys are welcoming, and my guy Gabby always leaves me feeling great after a cut. Definitely worth the 45 minute commute! read more

I'm not going to tell you which guy I go to here, because the line for him is already long enough. But he gives the world's best fades. Seriously. Overall, this is a very cool HK spot. All the barbers are nice, hip, young guys, and they do a great job. The atmosphere is chill, and the prices are comparable to other barbershops in the area. One note for the staff: Keep the music on and the televised sports off. Your clientele is primarily gay; most of us don't want to listen to a football game while we're getting our our cut. Otherwise, this is the best place in the neighborhood to get your hair cut. read more

This place is amazing and guys are very professional. I took my cousin here as he was traveling from other state. He is so very happy with his new haircut keep up with your work guys read more

I've been going here quite regularly and I really like it. Mike always welcome me and treat me like his friend which is great.

Uneven haircut -- not to mention that my haircut ended up looking nothing like the picture I showed my stylist when I sat down

The best, friendliest shop in the neighborhood. Super accommodating during Covid. Everywhere else in HK is a rip off.

I received an OK cut here, but the barber was really rough on my neck and gave me pretty bad razor burn. My girlfriend was upset so she posted a 3 star review (which I thought was very fair, if not generous). The owners proceeded to harass her online, claiming that it couldn't have been them that caused the razor burn (it was!) and that she should take down her review. They were rude and completely unapologetic. I planned to go back before this to give them another chance but I won't now. Owners: before you ask, no I won't take down this review. Stop trying to bully reviewers and focus on doing a good job. read more

Love this place, David does an amazing job for a reasonable price (don't think you'll find any barber in the area who can beat their price) Also they take credit cards now, which is a definite plus. Highly recommend. read more

I don't even think they deserve one star but you aren't allowed to give zero... Asked for trim and the "barber" gave an uneven cut above ears.... Even after he agreed he gave uneven trim - he offered NOTHING to help rectify... TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE DON'T GET HAIR CUT HERE.. read more

Ask for David. He take his time and is a master with the straight razor and scissors. read more

Grumd Barber Shop - Clean shop and a great crew. - Barbers Near Me - New York, New York

A very good barbershop. Not the typically cut your hair and leave kind of place. They really take care of you. Just moved in the neighborhood. Tried 2-3 different places. Some shops are very typically cut and go kind of place, they don't cut your hair good. Long story short, I'm sticking to this one. read more

Go with Ariel! Luv his hands..! He's so talented and delicate! I would never cut my hair with another barber but him! Full service, detail oriented, understands styles and trends and fun to interact! Highly recommended! read more

Love this place. Welcoming and fun barber shop. Gaby is my main barber but when he's not available I go with Avi. You won't go wrong!

Had a great experience with Ben. Awesome haircut. Clean location, great environment, excellent service.

Being new to NYC I didn't know where to go so used Yelp to help me. Decided on these guys as they had good reviews and are only a few blocks from where I live. I made an appointment online, which was easy. I rocked up and only had to wait 5mins over my alloted time as they were busy. That's no big deal, and don't understand why people get so uptight about a few mins of waiting! The cut I had was good. Mike listened to what I wanted which is not always the way with barbers/hairdressers! His attention to detail was a big thing for me - it wasn't a 5min quick clipper cut, pride went into it. This will now be 'my local' :-) read more
