Reviews
This barber shop is the best kept secret in the Waltham/Watertown area.
The owner of this shop, Johnny, started cutting my hair a few years ago at another shop where he was renting out a chair. I went to him on the fly when my old barber was unavailable. I jumped in the first available chair expecting that he'd cut my hair quickly without paying much attention, but I was completely wrong. Johnny sat me down, talked through a plan, listened to what I wanted, paid close attention to details, and buzzed and clipped and trimmed until everything looked perfect - then went the extra mile to clean up the edges with a straight razor, and topped the experience off with a hot towel. You don't get treated like that at every shop or by every barber, so I kept coming back.
I stuck with Johnny for a few years, but moved out of town for awhile and fell off the grid. When I got back, I reached out to Johnny and he told me that he opened his own shop, so I went by to check it out. When I arrived at the Art of Blades, I was impressed by how clean and modern the shop looked, and Johnny welcomed me in and took care of me, picking things up right where we left off.
The new space at the Art of Blades is nicer than any other shop I've been to in the area, and the overall experience of the shop felt high-class and elevated. Despite the fact that his business had grown, it was clear to me that Johnny still kept a clear focus on providing great service, and the other barbers in the shop followed his example in handling other clients and walk-ins with respect and care as well.
If you're picky about your hair and want to find a new shop with friendly, talented, caring, barbers who are focused on providing a great experience to their customers - look no further than this shop. I have no doubt that Johnny and his team will take care of you, and you'll love how you look when you get up from the chair.
Khalik just gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. Been a while since I found a barber that can nail what you want.
Great taste in movies also. I’ll be back for sure
