Best Barber Shops In Boston

“I am new-ish to the area looking for a local barber who was experienced with Black hair, and I am so glad to have found a place that was good and is close to where I live! Jerry is a talented barber, friendly and not too talkative- perf. Did not hurry through my cut, you can tell he cares about his work. The shop is clean and air-conditioned. The cold seltzer was exactly what the doctor ordered. I got two compliments on my hair this afternoon, and I immediately sent them here. I will be returning!“

“Ruben is the man. Super professional and efficient. Just give him a picture and he will bang it out for you.“

“I’ve been to a dozen+ barbers in South Boston over the last decade. Mariah 10/10. Could not recommend enough. In the world of “trust me” - trust me - Mariah will give you the best haircut in Boston.“

“Absolutely a wonderful experience having my hair cut by such an amazing individual! If you want to look like a movie star then this is definitely the place for you!“

“Had a great first experience at Z barbershop with John H for our 20 mo second haircut. John has a kind, calm, and patient demeanor. He made us all feel at ease, especially given our apprehensions after a negative experience with our son's first haircut elsewhere. We're very happy with our little guy's new cut and style! We'll be back. Thank you John.“

“Great experience with Chubs. She’s excellent with lineups — very precise, clean, and attentive to detail. She took her time where it mattered and made sure everything was sharp and even, without overdoing it. At the same time, the service was quick and efficient, which I really appreciated. You can tell she knows exactly what she’s doing and respects your time. Definitely recommend her if you want clean lines and solid results.“

“Great barbershop! Service is fast and barbers listen to you and do a great job. I would recommend this to anyone in the area.“

“Would give them 6 stars if I could. Great vibe and great haircuts for myself and my sons“

“I've been seeing Justin Simas every month for over 5 years, and it's safe to say I'd trust him with much more than my hair if it came down to it. He's able to meet you where you're at stylistically and conversationally; there's never a dull moment in his chair, as he's attentive and sensitive to the wants and needs of his diverse clientele. Not to mention prompt and conscientious of your time. I'm moving out of town and am already looking forward to getting a cut from Justin next time I'm back to visit.“

“The barber I had was skilled and dedicated. He did not speak english very well but was able to communicate with the help of another barber and he did an excellent job of cutting. I was caught off guard by the price--$55 for a cut. I will not be returning.“

“I was a walk in and didn't know if they could work me in, but Doug made it work. Got a great beard trim and clean up with some excellent advice about maintenance and drying my beard without drying it out. Wish I could come back to Boston more often! Highly recommend.“

“Amazing place for a last min cut Paulo and Andy were very welcoming and helpful the moment I stepped in the door. Visiting from Bermuda for a wedding up North I was a walk in at the end of the day and they were very helpful and accommodating to me. Paulo is a wicked Barber and hooked me up good for the wedding. ?? thank you and will be back again.“

“2 very skilled barbers that can use clippers and scissors to create the perfect haircut. They listen and give you the best cut in Boston.“

“One of the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten. Volmmer is the best in Allston, and probably Boston! He’s super kind and knew exactly how to do what I wanted, all within around 15 mins. I can’t recommend going here enough!“

“Oliver was incredible. Detailed. Went above and beyond. Perfected my haircut, would come back. You’ll feel like a million bucks!“

“Robert was very patient and kind with my autistic son. Appreciate it and will be back!“

“Felix has been my barber for years, I won't let anyone else touch my hair! ✂️??‍♂️❤️??“

“Outstanding barbers. Outstanding haircuts. Fair prices. Always good banter. Comfy. Relaxed. Ask the guys for music recs. I've pointed many friends to Matt's and they expertly handle hair that's straight, curly, longer and shorter. They also do great work with queer hair styles.“

“I was a Sat 8am walk-in. You know, the usual 1,5 hours before a wedding hair cut :-) George did an outstanding job. Super attentive and making great suggestions. Just super professional and kind. Loved it and will go there again at my next Boston visit.“

“It was a great experience at Belsito, best Barber experience I have had. Stephen is a great guy has a great story and the staff is polite and respectful. Great music too!“

“Walked in and got a great haircut from Steve. Went from long hair to short and I didn't know what kind of style I wanted. Steve really helped me figure out what would look good with my hair and taught me how to maintain and style it. Wonderful experience! It really felt like Steve wanted me to long good and didn't hesitate to take the time to get there.“

“Wonderful people and great haircuts! I've been going here for almost a decade and I have yet to be disappointed.“

“Read all the reviews about Alex. Had to go get a cut for myself. Killer low fade from him!“

“Rich is excellent. Takes his time and hair cut "perfect". I go out of my way to see him. Right in the North end around the tourist area, but he is like going to a local family shop. Clean, all polite, professional“
