This is the spot. My go to guy is Sahdaat - best haircut I’ve ever got and really first time in my life I’ve gone back repeatedly to same guy. Have also gotten perfect cut from Tony.
Locally independently owned for three generations. Great vibe. If you care about supporting local people/places and resisting the homogenization of everything (while also getting great cut) then go here.
Easy to book ahead via the app and also very accommodating of walk-ins.

Reviews
The staff is excellent, Tony and Ernie. They are the men i always either get a tony tiger cut or Ernie power cut all the barbers are excellent service UN. Excelled, can you get any better than Dente's?
Been searching for a good place to get a haircut for a year now in Cambridge/Somerville and I’ve finally found it. Super kind but also super professional and talented crew—-Sahdaat worked with me on exactly what i was looking for even though i’ve always found it hard to know what to tell a barber. 100% will be back again.
