It's rare to find a barber who will actually listen to you, by which I mean you can tell this guy how you want your hair cut and then he will cut your hair that way. Often, I find that barbers will listen to you and then proceed to do the one haircut they know how to do, or maybe they have three templates but they are unable to diverge much from those. This guy, you tell him you want number two on the sides but don't get too close to the part and just leave the top alone, he'll do that. Definitely a five star barber!
I've been coming to this barbershop for almost 40 years and that's because they do a great job. I usually ask for Nick, but others are good too. Chairs in the back to wait and then they get down to business without a lot of fanfare - when you're in the chair it's all about you. In COVID they've setup an appointment system and they clean up and wash up in between and make you feel safe.
I parked out on the street so it was not a problem. I went on a Saturday morning. It was right around the corner from Harvard Square. I had your basic haircut; two on the sides, three on the top with no sideburns. The barbar gave me exactly what I was looking for. What more could I ask for!!! He even trimmed my eyebrows. I always ask the barbar to cut just the grey hairs and every time they seem to cut more! ( I wonder why) When I am need of another haircut ( usually eight weeks) I would not hesitate to return to them.
