Fort Hill Barber Shop

I really wanted to like this place, but after two visits I’m done. The first time I went, she shaved off my sideburns without asking. Second time, I asked her to leave them where they were, and she shaved them off anyway.

Came here today after a friend spoke very highly about Lynn. Talk about a GREAT place to get a hair cut. Lynn is talented, friendly and you leave feeling like a million bucks. I will definitely be back. The location is inside the lobby to the left of the elevator bank, depending on which way you enter you may have to sign in with security. A hidden gem for sure!

I found the place on Google and saw that it had six rave reviews on Unilocal so I assumed I was making a safe call. It’s in the same building as First Republic Bank, but it’s hidden down a weird white hallway.
I told her exactly how I like my hair cut and she started out okay. I like a scissor cut on top and close fade on the sides. Pretty standard. She finishes the sides and grabs a big trimmer. She starts going around my crown and I stop her immediately. She explains that she’s only blending the sides and that she would never think of using a trimmer on the top of my head. I very reluctantly allow her to continue. Then without warning she buzzes the top of my head! It wasn’t a close buzz but I explicitly told her what I wanted. She starts talking about how you never get an even cut with scissors and how I won’t be able to tell the difference.
It’s too late to stop her at this point. She has to finish the cut or I’ll look like I went through a wood chipper.
She finishes and takes out a straight razor to do my line up and my neck. I don’t know what she did back there but I probably could have done a better job blindfolded.

She’s a classic, honest, fairly-​priced barber shop. I even got to watch Who Wants to Be a Millionaire while she cut my hair. Who even knew that show was still on? Meredith Rivera needs to get over herself.

Lyn is fast and friendly and the price can’t be beat. I looked so good when I got back to work that I immediately got a raise and a girlfriend. Now that I know where it is, I’ll definitely be going back.

Nice little shop hidden away in the heart of downtown. Very affordable, especially by Boston standards. I got a great cut and she even used the straightedge at the end, not something you see very often these days. The location is off the beaten track, but not at all hard to get to. Easy to make an appointment and was able to get in and out with time left over for lunch.

Guys — you won’t regret it! $ 16 and you’re good to go. Lynn and Colleen are awesome. Good deal!

Great barber in the heart of downtown, a hop and a skip from South Station. Quite reasonable. You’ll need to check in w security. The shop is next to the bank of elevators.

Great place for a quick haircut in the financial district, Lyn is super thorough, she even trimmed my wild eyebrows. Best part $ 16.00! What a deal. She takes reservations as well and didn’t mind when I had to push mine back an hour. Good stuff.

I’ve had bad luck with Financial District barbers — lots of attitude and not getting what I want. Lyn is the opposite. She’s always very friendly, and the haircut is just right. She charges $ 16, which is very reasonable. Don’t be put off by the entrance inside the lobby.

This is an outstanding barber shop for a standard men’s haircut. Lyn is a great barber. She cares about her customers, remembers the names of her regulars, and gives a quick great haircut.
You can’t beat the price for $ 16. The barber shop is in the lobby of 160 Federal Street. I had to ask the security guard at the desk for directions, and he asked me to sign in as a visitor.
Highly recommended. If you’re looking for a simple guys haircut that’s inexpensive and looks good, give Lyn a try.

Lynn is the best. This is the perfect place to go if you need a quick cut in the financial district. Only $ 16 and she does a great job. Call ahead and you won’t even have to wait.
It was a little tough to find at first but you go into the main lobby at 160 Federal St, sign in at the security desk, then walk past the elevators. It’s the 1^st door on the right.
