THE ORIGINAL
BEST BARBER HK
Located on 10th Avenue in NYC's Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, our barbershop was founded in 2015 by grooming expert Boswell Scot with a vision to refine the modern grooming experience.
Our established team of expert barbers offers the best fades, clipper cuts, scissor cuts, beard sculpting and trims, moustache shaping, hot towel face shaves, head shaves, and personalized grooming advice—all tailored to your specific needs. We keep you looking sharp with premium hair, skin, and body care products from brands like SACHJUAN, Alder New York, and A.K.T., so you can maintain your custom look between visits.
We endeavor for Best Barber to be a space where everyone feels welcomed, acknowledged, and valued, where we can make real connections and build lasting relationships. Over our eleven years serving Midtown Manhattan, we have cultivated a clientele as diverse as NYC itself and proudly serve the local LGBTQ+ and Broadway communities.
We look forward to welcoming you to Best Barber to experience "Handsome Made Simple" for yourself!
