Great place to grab a haircut, quick service, great prices. 5 stars
MOI Barber is a great place to get your haircut. The haircuts are consistent and always what you want. I recommend Greg in particular.
Hands down my favorite baber
It’s simply the best cut I’ve ever gotten. Thomas is amazing. Go!
The best fades I’ve ever received
Love this spot. Josh is my barber and he’s amazing. Alana who handles scheduling and all that is great too. Nice people who do a great job!
Best barbers in New York. Know what’s going on - place feels good, and is of the prestigious freemans heritage.
I’ve been getting my haircut from the guys at Matter of Instinct since I moved into the city. Once I started going to them, I saw no reason to go to another shop. I’ve been using Greg as my barber, but the entire shop is awesome- All the barbers are super talented. I’ve even recommended several friends to different barbers. Additionally, you truly feel welcome here, as opposed to a customer here, you’re treated phenomenally. If Greg is ever slightly behind schedule, Alana (MOI’s manager) will text you and let you know, she helps keep the shop running smoothly. Everyone at MOI goes out of their way to do what they can to make it a great experience every time. Now onto pricing- initially I was slightly taken back at the price per cut, it’s probably the most I’ve paid for a haircut. BUT, it’s worth every penny. You truly pay for what you get. All barbers are well versed in many techniques I didn’t even exist before coming here. Long story short, if you’re looking for a cut, you will not regret coming here.
Nice spot to get a haircut, barbers were friendly.
Amazing barbershop, good vibes ! Great staff.
Always get an amazing haircut here! Greg is my go-to guy, talks to you about what he's doing and why he's doing. Don't be afraid to ask questions! You'll receive a nice informative answer and get suggestions on how to get the barbershop finish. I let Greg decide what's best for my hair and have not been disappointed yet.
Great service. Attentive. Friendly. Well priced. Expert skill. Grest atmosphere. Mark is a barber to keep for life, like a piece of heritage clothing you pass down to your grandkids and treasure its quality and art always.
Matter of Instinct is a great new Barbershop in one of my favorite neighborhoods in New York. It's a beautiful space with great design but most importantly good vibes. Greg has been cutting my hair since 2015 and I trust him to give me a great haircut every single time. That said, I'm confident that you can go to anyone at Matter of Instinct and come out with a great haircut as so far everyone I've seen coming out of the shop has looked sharp. If you're looking for a new shop in New York or just to try something new, I highly recommend Matter of Instinct.
MOI Barbershop is the next and best sequel to the original Freeman’s Sporting Club Barbershop. Cozy farmhouse setting in the heart of the Lower East Side nearby the Russ & Daughters Cafe and dozens of foodie spots.
Best barber in the city
Thomas Hurley is amazing!
I have been looking for a quality barbershop with experts who are not only knowledgeable but also can produce consistent results! I live in Maryland and travel to NY often. I hold off on haircuts till I make my way to Matter of Instinct!
Nathan is the man. Want a great cut by a PRO? Go see Nathan.
Great cut, great vibes. Very professional.
I’ve been trying out many of the local barber shops, now that I have experienced MOI my search is finally over. Thanks Thomas for such a dope experience. See you again soon!
The atmosphere here is phenomenal and much better than any other shop I've gone to. The space is bright and warm, and all of the barbers are friendly which really makes this place feel like a home away from home. I went in a few times for haircuts and beard trims with Greg. He is great - I've never left feeling like it could have gone better. He's very thoughtful, and you can tell he really cares about making sure you leave the shop feeling your best. I wouldn't trust my hair with someone else - so much so that I just moved to SF and I'm contemplating on flying back to NYC once a month for a cut from Greg.
Nathan is the go-to. Hands down best barber in NYC
This place is dope. Great vibes, great people, and great haircuts. I was the type to go to any barber and just ask them to “clean it up”. Never really had a go to barber. I used to live right above this shop and always got my hair cut by Boris. Moved to East Village and tried another barber close by...huge mistake. After having to endure a couple months of a terrible haircut I went right back to Boris with my tail between my legs. He’s a real good dude and knows exactly what to do with little to no instruction. You’ll walk out of this place looking and feeling fresh.
As a gentleman with a beard I need a pro to keep it from going all ZZ Top on me. Greg is that man. From day one at Freeman’s I have loved what Greg and Ruben have done. Service is always top shelf and they work hard to creat a cool yet stylish shop, without going overboard. Reasonably priced and accessible location make MOI the top shop in the city.
Great Spot + Talented Barbers — been going to Josh Livingston for years, always gives a great cut, plus the shop itself and other staff are great. Have some other friends that go to him too, everyone is always super happy.
Awesome new shop on a great street. Interior was nice and clean and know they're building out even more. Staff was super friendly and polite - I got a cut from Greg and it's perfect. Definitely will be going back for sure.
Love MOI. Be sure to go see Greg, he's been cutting my hair for years and the only one I trust (especially if you're looking to get a fade). You will leave happy.
Great barbershop. Very welcoming and clean. Nathan gives an outstanding haircut you can tell he's really worked at his craft.
By Far - The Best Barbershop Experience I ever had! Thank Chris! :)
The best barbershop in NY hands down. You want someone who really knows what they’re doing? This is the place. Everyone here is talented and the work is impeccable. The shop vibes are right and it’s only getting better. If you go anywhere else for a haircut or shave, you’re making a mistake!
You know how hard it is to get the “right” haircutter? One that listens and then gives you more than you hoped for? Well I’ve been lucky my son told me about Greg. We live out of state but we visit NYC about 4-6 times a year and when ever I am back, I stop in for a Cut from Greg. I get more compliments from his cuts than I ever had before. The new shop is opposite Russ & Daughters Cafe and it has a great, comfortable vibe. Do yourself a favor and get a great cut from Greg at MOI. You can thank me later!
Every haircut I've gotten here is great. The wait can be long, but it's worth it. Friendly environment, excellent barbers and a solid old school feel.
Best Barbershop and barbers in NYC!!! Been getting my haircuts with Ruben for over a decade now, he’s the best!!!
Clean and great place to get a cut. Never been disappointed.
I have been going to Ruben for years. I have so many positive things to say about him and the rest of the crew at MOI, but I think simplest and best way to describe the experience is "CONSISTENT EXCELLENCE"
Tom knows style
Awesome cuts in a comfortable, clean environment with fantastic folks. You'll want to get there early and leave late, just to hang out.
I’ve been seeing Ruben and Joey for 10+ years now, never had a bad haircut. Great barbers, great shop, great vibe.
Can't say enough good words about this shop. My previous barber of 10 years retired and I went through a stint of being thoroughly lost while neglecting my hair thanks to crippling new-narber anxiety. Buddy referred me to Ruben and I am beyond grateful
Such a great atmosphere. Nathan has been my barber for a long time. Could not put into words how perfect it was. My groomsmen and I got haircuts before my wedding and it was perfect!
Best barber shop in the city. Every barber in here is excellent, trained, skilled. The owner is a great guy....Friendly, good humored, open. The front desk crew is very helpful and friendly. The space is cool, too....wood paneled, urban rustic, chic. Mark is our guy. He is an amazing barber and really just a great guy all around...smart, funny, easy to talk to, interesting. We moved to the NW Bronx from downtown; and we still make the trip, bc it is worth it to go out of our way to get a good cut and support a great place and a great barber.
First time at MOI, the manager Alana kept telling me to come in . She recommended Martin Argueta who is new to the team of barbers , used to cut at fellow barber. Damn good haircut . And free beer. Go see Martin!
Finally found my barber;)
My experience at Matter of Instinct barbershop was great. This shop felt familiar as a former customer of Freeman's Sporting club but with a fresh more welcoming vibe. I got a haircut and beard trim from Greg and couldn't be happier with the result as well as the customer service. This new shop is the best in town.
Comfortable, easy vibe and great people that take their work seriously and give consistently great cuts
Within 5 minutes of entering I felt like this place was setup to put the customer first. Really friendly welcome and the decor and atmosphere is cool and relaxing. I felt like when I was asked what I wanted the barber actually cared! Not just reaching for the clippers nodding along going “yeah, yeah”. Everyone in the shop was chiming into a lively conversation and clearly showed their expertise by offering insights and advice into individual styles. I’ll be a regular here now and look forwards to watching as they grow in popularity and prestige.
I’ve been going to Mark Miguez for years and love this new spot. Guys are all really good, nice and fun to come hang with. Great haircuts, vibe and a good price for what you get.
Martin helped me get the most accurate haircut I have ever gotten. My first haircut in New York. Will go back for sure !!!
Great barbershop! Really nice atmosphere, and I got an awesome haircut from Joey.
Waho!!! Great great haircut salon. Not only they do what you ask for but also give really good suggestions and recommendations without imposing anything. I got high feedback from family, friends for the haircut. In this salon they take the time to do high quality haircut, shaving... Very very professional. Very relaxing place with great discussions, ambiance and interesting topics. 100% recommended. This is now MY haircut barber place!
My favorite barbers from Freemans still holding it down delivering great cuts at a new shop - sick location & space.
Best barbershop in the city hands down. I've been following these guys for years and the talent and vibe is unmatched.
I left MOI looking and feeling great. Ruben is a master barber, and expert with handling scissors and a straight razor. Quality of experience is this barbershop’s motto.
Matter of Instinct is an incredible barbershop. I live in Queens and go all the way to Manhattan for my haircut at Matter of Instinct. The time, effort, money, and energy are well spent when I go there. Ruben cuts my hair and he is literally an elite level barber and answers all of my questions and he always guided me in the right direction based on my hair type and styles I was considering over the years. I feel amazing after getting my haircut. The atmosphere of the place is clean and friendly. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are considering getting a haircut or shave.
Great cuts, cool people, simply put my favorite barber
This shop is dope. Met Alana the manager out in BK, she convinced me to stop paying $20 for a fade and come to MOI. Saw Martin Argueta for my cut.. super cool dude, and definitely knows what he’s doing. Music was on point, free beer, and got to watch the Yankee game during my cut. Totally worth investing the extra $30. Check this place out ... you won’t regret it!
Awesome barbershop
