Great place. Got a great haircut that lasted. I was fortunate they took me last minute but will definitely schedule for an appointment.

The writing on the door says “Walk Ins Welcome”. My son and I walked in, the hair cutters saw us doing so, and we sat down. Twenty minutes later one of them asked if we have an appointment. We said no. And he said that because people book on line they are fully booked and can’t take us. What a total waste of our time! Do everyone a favor: Take that writing off your door. Or, greet people when they come in and ask if they have an appointment.”

Read all of the negative reviews here and yelp. They're accurate. My son and husband have been here once for a haircut and it was uneven and not cut properly. My husband showed up again this past week to give them another chance. He was a few (3) minutes late for his appointment. He was told "I'm running a business here you're late". And gave him a HUGE attitude through the entire cut. My husband was uncomfortable enough that he was considering getting up and walking out at that moment. My husband isn't confrontational, so he stayed for the cut. Tipped $2 which the barber didn't even deserve and then left. You won't be running a business for long if you treat customers like this. There are much better options in the area. Don't go here. You've been warned.

Definitely become my regular barber shop. These guys are great—very professional, reliable, friendly. Milad is great. He figured out my style day 1. I also appreciate he has a sense of who’s a talker and who’s not. I’m happy just to zone out and he doesn’t have a problem with that. They also usually have soccer matches on the TV for when you’re waiting—nice bonus. Sometimes they can get a little behind their schedule if you have a reservation—they book for 15 minute spots—maybe 20 would be more realistic. But overall great experiences. Also, not overly expensive. Tried Title City down the street and it’s a lot more, plus more hype. One thing—they don’t take credit. For a while they took Venmo but seems to be cash now. Fortunately there’s plenty of ATMs along the street.

Started off with friendly conversation. After the cut, which seemed unfinished, I asked for corrections on the first cut he did (which was uneven on the top) and it took a turn for the worse. I was jested for "asking for a 2nd haircut" and was told multiple times about what a taper is after I had to say "I get it" over and over. I was told it was insanity that I like to try out new barbers and he said that he only gets haircuts right on the 3rd time because of unique head shapes. I wonder how he gets new customers if it's insanity to try out a new barber and he only gets it right on the 3rd time, doesn't make sense haha. How are you ever supposed get a barber if you never try one out? Instead of coming here 3 times, I recommend Title City which is right next door, they've gotten my hair cut right on the first time each time. Los Primos is also good in Waltham. Salvis around the corner is good too. This is why I try multiple barbers, if you're reading.

Go here pretty often, Gregg is super great. He knows exactly what I want even when I have trouble articulating it and is a great conversationalist. I’ve also had great cuts from everyone else and always leave satisfied and happy. 5/5 would definitely recommend.

Hands down the best barber shop in Massachusetts! I’ve been taking both of my sons there for a few years, driving 40 minutes each way. Aside from giving the best haircuts, the owner and his staff is fantastic with kids! So kind, patient and treat you like family. The salon is clean, the wait is never more than 15 minutes and plenty of coffee shops next door and across the street where you can grab a coffee or a snack while you wait.

This is the best barbershop for men in Newton. Great haircut and perfect shave / beard trim for a very reasonable price. Anas listens to what you want and takes his time for it to be perfect. Very professional yet laid back. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to look sharp.

Popped in and he was just finishing with another client. It had really been awhile since my last cut but he effortlessly brought things into submission in short order. The straight shave on the neck was a nice touch and really helped give a clean look to the back of my head. Fast, no nonsense, looks great, and under $20! 5 stars for sure!

Great haircut! Stopped in early on a Tuesday and sat right down. Great cut, neck shave and even an eyebrow trim! My son also came a few weeks back and got a great haircut as well. And very, very good value compared to other overpriced men's barbers in the area.
