Mama’s Boy Barbershop — Local services in New York

I had an absolutely terrible experience at this so-called “barbershop.” I had booked an appointment with Mo Najjar, only to arrive and find that the shop doesn’t even exist. Instead, they’re running their business out of a small, dingy apartment which is completely misleading and fraudulent.

The place itself was beyond disgusting. It was filthy, unsanitary, and completely neglected. Hair piles were everywhere, and it was clear that no one bothers to clean up. The environment was nothing like a real barbershop or salon, despite they charging the regular prices.

As for the actual service – if you can even call it that – it was abysmal. Mo was not only unprofessional but outright arrogant. He spent the entire time on his phone, barely paying any attention, and then proceeded to butcher my hair. He cut my sidelocks extremely short without asking me, completely ruining my haircut. When I pointed it out, he had the audacity to blame me, saying I should have voluntarily told him not to do it – as if I can read his mind and predict his mistakes before he makes them.

Sure, he knocked the price down to $30 instead of the $40 they charge for an actual salon cut, but that does nothing to make up for the disaster of an experience.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs – especially Mo and this shady...

Ever since I moved to Manhattan, one of the first things I did was try to find a new barber I could trust. I not only found that at Mama's Boy Barbershop, but I found people that genuinely care about hair.

I regularly get my hair cut by Mo, and you can tell he puts a lot of effort and work into his craft. Cuts the littlest of stray hairs around to make sure it comes out just right. Even going so far as to giving me recommendations on how to make my current hairstyle better. And he does it in such a way that 1. showcases his knowledge of hair styles and the proper technique and 2. how to improve/maintain your hair care once you leave the shop.

The people there are also so warm and welcoming. Along with Mo, Ben and the rest of the team there, when they found out I recently got married I was met with a huge showcase of congrats. Mo made sure I looked good for my special day, going so far as to spend extra time and detail on my hair.

If you want just a regular barbershop to cut your hair, you can go anywhere. But if you want place that you feel welcomed and respected, I strongly recommend coming to Mama's Boy Barbershop as everyone I have encountered there has shown me such respect from my first...
