Classic grooming. Modern craft. A neighborhood tradition at 103 West 10th Street, Manhattan.
Kinsman — a word rooted in brotherhood, community, and belonging. That's the foundation this barbershop was built on. Step through our door on West 10th Street, just steps from the Christopher Street subway station, and you enter a space where the ritual of grooming is treated with the respect it deserves.
The clash of steel on leather as a straight razor is stropped. The warmth of a eucalyptus-infused hot towel pressed against your skin. The hum of clippers carving a clean skin fade. At The Kinsman, every detail is intentional — from the century-old reclaimed wood spanning floor to ceiling, to the vintage barber chairs restored and customized by hand.
This isn't just a place to get a men's haircut in NYC — it's a neighborhood institution in the heart of the West Village, surrounded by the brownstones and cobblestone streets of Greenwich Village. Whether you're a local walking over from Hudson Street or visiting Manhattan for the first time, you'll leave looking sharp and feeling like family.
Our master barbers deliver the full spectrum of men's grooming — from classic scissor cuts and precision skin fades to hot towel straight razor shaves. Every service comes with the care and attention that only a traditional barbershop can provide.
Signature services include buzz cuts, blend-ups, beard trims, beard sculpts, and our renowned hot towel shave — a ritual embraced with special creams, double-pass shaving, and finished with cologne and a cool towel. For the complete experience, try our full range of grooming services and packages.
The Kinsman is a traditional, cash-only barbershop. For your convenience, an ATM is available at the nearby Citibank on the corner of 6th Avenue and West 10th Street.
