Utopia Barbershop

What can I say… my boy is such a crying baby when it comes to a hair cutting. Manny is so quick and fast and well done. Two thumbs up!

My almost three year old hates getting his haircut so much that he usually makes himself sick from all the crying and screaming. They were amazing. He had his hair cut before he even knew what happened and it looks great. He is still talking about the barbershop. The best experience we have had ever had with his hair.

Came in as a recommendation and was extremely happy that I made the 40 min trip from Brooklyn. Manny took care of my 4yr old son and what was usually a screaming, crying, and sometimes throwing up situation was a surprisingly pleasant experience. Yes he was apprehensive at first but Manny quickly calmed his fears and before I knew it the haircut was over. Yes he cringed because he hates buzzers and scissors but that didn’t last long. I will be coming here for a long time or at least every two weeks till he’s older. Thank you Manny I cannot thank you enough and I highly recommend the guys at Utopia Barber Shop to whomever wants a barber for their child who needs that extra special attention.

Really nice place to take your son for a haircut. My son didn’t want to leave after his hair cut. Staff is super nice!!! It was definitely worth the car ride. They have a whole section dedicated to kids haircuts which is very hard to find in Queens.

Just brought my two year old here for a haircut. They were quick yet efficient. He did exactly what I asked and executed it nicely. I will definitely bring my son back here.

Best barbershop I have ever taken my son to. My son is special needs and non verbal, the hardest thing in the world was taking him to the barbershop. We use to only get his hair cut once a year that’s how bad it was. But now we go to utopia barbershop monthly, my son loves going there. They make him feel very welcomed and are so patient with him. Manny and Ray are heaven sent, they all are!

Great day care. Terrible barbershop. First I walk in to unruly screaming kids and the barbershop loudly playing dubstep music. Honestly don’t understand how there are any good reviews. I just moved to the area and search for a barber. Recently i grew my hair and beard. Trying for a new style. The owner who is overly confident cut my hair. I have had never had a worse cut in my life and the beard was uneven on both sides. I do not know how they are in business. If you are looking for a loud music playing daycare then this is where you need to be. If you want a clean cut. Well. You will have better luck doing it your self with a butter knife.

Came down from college for the Columbus day weekend in dire need of a haircut to make myself look fresh again. I Unilocaled «Barbers» near me, and this place was surprisingly near me. I went to Korean hair salons all my life because I thought they made my hair look the nicest. Korean salons did make my hair look fresh, but they did so in exchange for my masculinity. I decided it was time to grow a pair and check out this barber shop with amazing reviews.
I wasn’t expecting much since the price I paid ($ 14), was ridiculously cheap compared to the Korean salons ($ 25+$ 5 tip+ masculinity) I always paid for. However, the owner Ray exceeded my expectations. He was kind and welcoming. I told him the style I wanted and that was exactly what I got. He also gave me a nice shave with a one blade razor.
I will definitely be returning here every time I come down for a haircut.

The barbers are not cheap. That being said, my 5 year old son and I come here regularly because Ray and Manny are friendly and great with kids. The place has an assortment of toys and video game systems to keep the kids entertained when busy. Good guys, better barbers.

These guys are great. I have a 2 year old who hates getting his haircut and constantly cries, screams and thrashes around. The staff here are extremely patient, accommodating, and able to produce a quality cut each and every time. The «patience» aspect is key, as I’ve been to other haircut locations where the barber would get visibly annoyed or frustrated — which doesn’t make things any easier. The staff at Utopia Barbershop are truly high quality and I will be taking my son here for many years to come!

My sons first haircut at 2 years old and Manny was awesome. Built rapport with bubbles, Mickey Mouse, lollipops… he did everything to make the experience great.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a young child. This place can’t get any more kid friendly. Manny is the best.

Just went there today for my one year old son’s first hair cut. He got it cut by Ray and I am very pleased. My son cried the whole time but Ray was calm and collected and reassuring us that everything was fine and not to be so nervous :)
He was friendly, professional, attentive to details and I’m happy with the results.
Will definitely come back for future haircuts.

This barber shop is awesome! We took our son here today for his first hair cut, he’ll be two next Saturday, and it was such a great experience. Manny did such a good job. He was great with our son and his haircut came out perfect! Our son had such a great time too, sitting in the train chair, watching mickey mouse clubhouse and then getting the lollypop at the end. They also gave me some if his hair for his baby book and a really cute certificate of first haircut. We will be recommending this place to everyone with little ones! What a great experience!

It’s been a while since my last review but I have to write one about this barber shop. My son and my husband have been going to the same barber shop for about 2 years but the person who cut his hair wasn’t in today and we were going on a trip so we needed one that day.
Found this place on Unilocal and I am so glad to have found this place because we will be going here from now on. Manny cut my son’s hair and he was so patient with him and this place is SO kid friendly. They have tablets for the kids to watch while they are cutting their hair, the cool chairs and some toys they can play with while they are waiting for their parents.
He was also very very sweet to us and my son absolutely loved his cut. Ray cut my husband’s hair and he loved it as well!
Thank you so much guys — we will be seeing you soon. DEF. give this place a try!!!

Manny and Ray could not be more patient with kids (especially mine). It’s great for adults and kids. Quality hair cuts and extremely reasonable prices. I grew up in the Lower East Side and had a tough time finding a decent barber in Queens but lucked out with this gem. Best part is the low wait times.

I don’t often spend time writing reviews, but I will do it when a business merits it. And I certainly feel like Utopia Barbershop has earned it.
I had grown emotionally attached to my son’s hair (as I’m sure many mothers do). But at 17 months, whenever we were out, he was always mistaken for a girl. I decided it was time to look at my best options for where to go for his first cut. I researched a lot of places that were good for kids but, apparently, didn’t cut hair all too well. I came across Utopia Barbershop through a recommendation and after reading reviews, decided to take the plunge.
I made an appointment with Ray but had two customers in front of me when we showed up. No biggie, we went with Meny instead.
Meny did an amazing job — he was incredibly nice, super fast, and cut my son’s hair exactly the way I wanted. My son did shed a few tears (to be expected) but overall it wasn’t too bad. Meny was exceedingly nice, patient, and calm throughout. Most importantly, I can let go of my son’s beautiful baby hair because the new look is awesome. The cut itself was only $ 13 too!!! I would have paid way more for such a great cut and experience. (Shhh. don’t tell them that.) Next time, my husband said he’s getting a cut there too :)
Oh, and I just wanted to add that I’ve already gotten numerous inquiries from parents on where I got his haircut and you can be sure I’m sending them all to Utopia Barbershop. Good businesses do best through quality service and word of mouth and I think this is proof of that.

First time coming here and I plan to come again. My son has special needs and getting his hair cut is always a struggle. until i came here. Ray took good care of him and spoke to him kindly and friendly! I was always worried about how the barber would react to my son with special needs and usually i get bad looks or confused ones. But here they were all just smiling. Thank u for giving us a wonderful experience!

My 4 year old son Javy has been a holy terror while getting his haircuts until we went to the Utopia Barbershop today. Manny put him at ease immediately and he was an angel during the cut. Javy even let him use the electric clippers and he is not afraid of the clippers anymore. Manny is the best.
The barbershop is clean and well run. It is festive for kids with toys and video games available. I also got my haircut and was suitably impressed with the quality and the price. Do yourself and your son a favor and go to Utopia.

Great guys with excellent skills. Both the venue and the barbers are extremely kid-​friendly.

Attention parents — Look no further for little and big boys’ hair place. This is it.
I have twin boys and a big boy (my husband), and we had looked everywhere for a good hair place. When the boys were little, I tried to cut their hair — but now, they are just too big to have «unprofessional» mommy hair cut. Their friends would run away from them at the playground. So, we went to Utopia Babershop.
The only minor, micro, nano issue I had was that we had to wait a little. It is hard with twin boys to wait. We wanted to go in and get out — but he had other customers waiting. Having said that the wait was well worth it.
Boys were so happy, sitting on the planes, cars, looking at the screens and mirrors. Their cuts look awesome. and they walked out of the place like big boys, all grown up, with very handsome haircut!
So, do it. Call ahead or make a reservation. Avoid weekends — this place is booming and will be booming as the words spread. So, take a morning off of your work during the week, and go. The owner was super nice, kind, and excellent with kids!!!
Highly highly recommend this place for moms and dads with boys. Next time we go, my big boy (hubby) will get a cut, too! :) Family trip!
