I took my brother to get a cut by the infamous Rudy and the experience was incredible! He's a really down to earth guy and his skills are a gift from God. Do yourself a favor and check out Rudy. He's a bit pricey but it's worth it. Trust Me! read more

Prompt, paid attention to detail, great conversation. Overall great barber, will be back soon to see him!!

By far the best barber shop in DE. I have never recv a bad cut and always impressed by the quality and expertise.

It is so not cool when one of the barbers texted me 15 mins prior to my appointment telling me that he has to cancel my appointment because he has forgotten that he has to do something w his cousin. Bear in mind that I texted him the night before to confirm our appointment. I think that is very unprofessional on his part. This is the third time he has done this to me. The other 2 appointments he just never showed up. Time is money to me. I took time off to get a haircut and don't like to be jerked around. Then there is a policy that they charged you $25 for missing your appointment. But it is OK for them to miss their appointment. Btw, I do tip well. read more

Decided it was time to find a barber, and these guys fit the bill. Felt comfortable from the moment I walked in, and Mikey spent at least thirty minutes on the fade alone. They know what they're doing. Also, great with kids. Definitely going back. You can make your appt online, or through their app, plus they take cards, though the reader was a bit glitchy during my visit. Regardless, they were happy to let me run to get cash and come back. read more

Rudeboy Special - Undercut from Mikey at Rudeboy Special - Barbers Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

So I read all the reviews about what a great barber shop this is, and all the reviews about how unprofessional this barbershop is, but I make an appointment anyway to give it a try. Two hours before my appointment I get this message: "Ey whatsup this dirty the barber you have an appt at 12 , but im currently still out of state". No apologies. No "Sorry for the inconvenience." Doesn't even say he's cancelling our appointment. Just a few blocks from my new home but I'm going someplace else for my haircuts. read more

Being a recent transplant from Miami. I had to keep my standards of hair cutting up while adjusting to life in Maryland. Insert this fantastic barbershop in Wilmington,DE. Place looks extremely cool and welcoming. Walk in, and you already know you've stumbled across a group of guys who view this as an art and not a quick buck. Graffiti walls, floor made out of money with sprinkled glitter, and eye catching lights. It's like I'm back home again in this room. The cut was meticulous and done right. The barber knows his way around clippers and scissors. In all honesty I don't have anything but good news to say about this place. Returning customer read more

I recently moved to Wilmington from Harrisburg, PA, and I was having trouble finding a decent barber shop that understands classic cuts but with a modern twist (think Don Draper if he had inked sleeves). Then, this week, I stumble upon Rudeboy Special and it looked like a good fit. Plus, they allow you to book your appointment and pay directly on their website. I made an appointment and paid (including tip) immediately. When I arrived, I was greeted by the owner as I walked through the door. He immediately put me in a chair. We discussed what I wanted, and he understood it right away (which is rare in my experience). He gave me an outstanding cut, making sure we were on track every step of the way, since this was my first visit. The final result is super tight...just my style. I went it with moderate expectations and came out incredibly impressed. Well done, fellas. read more

Rude's my boy... every once in awhile when I'm in town from touring I will stop by for a cleanup..my entourage as well...he is probably the best barber in Wilmington. read more

Rudy goes above and beyond to cultivate the perfect look for the client and takes his time rather than rush. I get so many compliments from others during my normal day-to-day interactions and they always ask for Rudy's info for themselves or their kids. Great barber and barbershop!! read more

Went to this location multiple times with appointments and was unable to get a haircut, his business is unprofessional and gives meaning to his shops name. It is obvious that this shop is unwelcoming to new clients and only cares about his own. read more

Hidden gem in Wilmington. Great environment, really nice facility and quality haircuts. Definitely come and check it out, it's worth it for sure. read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Rudy for years and his cuts are always great. He is meticulous as he seems to treat every hair cut as a proof of his skill and dedication. Most any other place wouldn't give me half the cut he does- every line is crisp, every detail to your specifications- the details are over my head, I just give home the basics and tell the expert go to work. Every time I go I know I will look so much better walking out- I get a lot of compliments. Having a great haircut is an important part of a first impression- I work in a field where I meet new people every day- my rudeboy special is clutch. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I got a great haircut and a beard trim by the Rudeboy, himself. What a great guy! Rudy has a passion for cutting hair and a vision for his shop that is clear as soon as you walk in. He takes walk-ins, but I had made my appointment online and when I walked in, 5 minutes early, I sat right in the chair. I highly recommend Rudy and the whole Rudeboy Special experience. We need more cool places like this and more people who are passionate about what they do! read more

True artist! Chill environment and cool barbers. Coming from out of town and looking for a barber is tough..... Rudeboy makes it simple I ended up bringing 4 of my peeps thru and all have high regards for these barbers...... Choose this shop if u looking for one.... You wont be disappointed! *Amtrak read more

Shop, was clean, mad cool and everything you want in a Barbershop. Most importantly, Rudy had me looking real clean. Very professional and into his craft. I will be returning. read more

The shop is very well hyped and marketed. People seem to really buy into it. So did I. Truthfully, this shop is okay. Kind of unprofessionally ran but not to the point where it makes the experience uncomfortable. It's a neighborhood barbershop, it is what it is. I give this place 2 stars because for as much as this guy hypes straight razor cuts, he shouldn't be breaking skin while shaping up a beard. Which is exactly what homeboy did to me. I didn't notice it when I looked in the mirror at the shop but when I got home, my girl noticed dried blood (& cuts) around the shape up line of my beard/mustache. I used to get straight razor shape ups from a guy that cut hair in his kitchen & for those 4 years, he never not once broke skin with his straight razor. That's legitimately unacceptable for as much as the shop charges. read more

Straight up the best cut I've ever had. Rudeboy had my hair and beard perfectly done for my wedding. Just know you're truly walking into a neighborhood barber shop and not Derek Michael's. read more

Hands down the best barber in the northeast. Rudy is a perfectionist who is a technician with his clippers. I've never been in a barbershop with the unique vibe and style you get at Rudeboy Special. The barbershop has the styling of a high-end salon but still has the urban street feel to make you feel at home. My son was the talk of his class after getting a combover by the owner Rudy and hasn't stopped begging me to take him back. The shop is a little ways away from me in Maryland but it's worth every minute of driving for the amazing customer service, excellent cut, and unique experience. I can't wait to get back. read more

Clean, sharp, good looking cut. Allowed me to walk-in, but they asked me to make a rez next time. As you can see from the pics, this is a young, urban hang-out... so if you're cool with that vibe you'll get a good cut. Cool to see some young peeps doing their thing getting a proper business going in this building. read more

Great shop. Great chops. Thanks for the fine experience today. Best barber in Wilmington. Maybe all of Delaware.

Rudy is super friendly and did a great job on my son!

Good shop and the barber Mike cuts very well. Highly recommend going if you want a nice haircut

Great service and very clean environment. Very personable barbers and overall a smoothly run business. I would definitely recommend for a high-quality haircut for your dollar. read more
