Kontrol Barber Shop
Quick info
About Kontrol Barber Shop
On NW 17th Ave in Miami, Kontrol Barber Shop takes walk-ins only, with no appointments required. The shop opens daily, and a chair often comes with a wait, with some customers waiting up to two hours to be seated during busy stretches. Most barbers on staff speak Spanish, and some are also able to speak English, making the counter accessible to a range of customers coming through the door. Anyone stopping by should plan around the time it can take to get seen rather than expecting a quick turnaround.

Customer Review Summary
Fades and clean, sharp cuts anchor the praise here, with several longtime customers naming specific barbers they return to year after year for a fresh look at a good price. Close behind, reviewers describe the shop as a real barbershop rather than a quick trim spot, with most exchanges happening in Spanish and English available for those who need it. Complaints center on wait times, with one reviewer describing sitting two hours for a chair while barbers were seen on their phones. Another separate account says a cut was left unfinished, and one reviewer says posted hours were misleading, told the shop actually closes earlier than advertised on weekends. Despite these, the barbers get repeated mentions for consistency across years of visits, including cuts for kids and family members.

“If you’re in Miami and looking for a transformation, Kontrol Barbershop is the place to go! Just check out these photos, they speak for themselves. If you want a clean, sharp, and detailed cut, ask for Enoch. He’s hands down the best in the shop. I’ve been going to him for 7 years, and he’s never let me down. Enoch listens to what you want and pays close attention to every detail to make sure you leave looking your absolute best. I’ve always said that when I become famous, I’m hiring Enoch as my personal travel barber, he’s just that good! Highly recommend Kontrol Barbershop and Enoch for anyone in Miami who wants top-notch service and a fresh look!”

“They take forever to cut hair. You can be waiting for 2 hours just to be next in chair. Two barbers are literally sitting down on their phones when it’s just I who’s waiting for a haircut. If you looking for quick in and out i recommend don’t come to this place”
