This place isn’t a glamorous shop like The Art of Shaving, but when it comes to guys’ cuts, I don’t think glamour is what people look for. I went in because I was in the area, and asked for a cut and beard shaping. The barber spent about 50 minutes on me meticulously trimming my beard with a straight razor. He knew how to use clippers, scissors, and the razor very well. Speaking at least some Spanish helps a lot. Most of the guys here don’t speak English well, but they know their craft. So if you go in, and I strongly recommend that you do, just gesture out to what you want. I paid $ 20, with tip for a beard line-up and haircut. This is an amazing value. A suggestion to the owner: invest in some hot towels and offer a traditional«straight razor shave» with brush, shaving cream, towels etc. Your guys know how to use the straight razor, and you’ll make extra money from this service for sure.

I went here based off the reviews, and the fact that it was one of the few places open on Sunday. This place is terrible! It’s filthy, there’s hair everywhere, and absolutely no hygienic standards. The tools had hairs all over them, the station was covered in hair and tissues, he wiped down the trimmer with a dirty talc brush — gross! I should have ran at this point, but was already strapped in, and I suppose in shock. I tell him I want a cut with scissors, and he takes a phone call on his cell, grabs the electric trimmer instead of the scissors and just starts hacking at my head with it. 3 minutes later, he’s done. He absolutely butchered my hair. Forget the filthy, unsanitary conditions, or lack of friendly service, avoid this place because they don’t now how to give a basic cut. Next step — report to the health board!

Went for my first visit to this place and was thrilled. The stylist was meticulous, and gave me the best flat top I’ve had in Boston.

I got a great haircut, and the price just made it better. Usually when I get a $ 15 haircut, I expect to get in and get out. Not here. I was seated quickly, but my barber was meticulous with my backs and sides, making sure the fade was even. After the clipper work she cleaned up my edges with a straight razor! This is standard operating procedure here, as all the barbers I saw used the same procedure. She even did my eyebrows with the straight razor. My sister has always told me that I needed it, but I’m a guy and never really thought to get it done, but she didn’t charge me extra for it(normal cost $ 2), and I look good and enjoyed the experience. Like I said, a slow meticulous cut. I came out feeling very sharp, and the cut still looks great a week later. I loved the cut so much I even got a picture of myself with my barber. The place is a little ghetto pimp style, some urban rap station on the tv, decorated in urban art. But you can tell that everyone there cares about style, cares about how their hair looks, and the idea is not to get a flamboyant hair cut, but to get a «normal» hair cut done with such precision that it becomes something more.
