I was worried when my longtime barber closed due to Covid and didn't reopen. Blue line is close to my house so I thought I would give them a try. It's easy to book an appointment using BOOKSEY. Which means no waiting. The barbershop is small and very clean and I received the best haircut I've had in a long time. He is friendly and a great conversationalist as well. You can not go wrong going to Blue Line barbershop. I would give them 6 stars if I was able read more

If you want the perfect cut go see Illias or Mikey. They will give you the best service and price is right. ATM available inside read more

Blue Line Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Swampscott, Massachusetts

I went here as my first time going to a barbershop and was uncomfortable with the idea of not knowing what I wanted done with my hair. IIias not only was incredibly understanding, but actually took the time to explain to me what he was doing so next barbershop I go too, I will be able to know what I want with confidence! Hands down the best guy I have met in a while and the haircut was unbelievable. read more

Ilias has been my barber for the last 4-5 years and is truly a master in his craft. He treats his clients with the utmost respect, gives excellent cuts, and is quick. I could not recommend Blue Line more and I refuse to see any other barber. read more

I stopped in for a haircut early afternoon this week. New to the area and like to support local businesses when I can. Took his time asking me what kind of cut I wanted and made some suggestions based on what I said. He took his time, and we had a nice chat while he cut. I also appreciate a barber who can talk and cut at the same time. The only thing that would have made the experience better would have been a hot lather straight razor shave on the neck. Can't have everything, I suppose. The hot towel and scalp massage at the end were worthy substitutes. While he's not open on Saturday, he caters to commuter traffic by being on Mondays and later than most barber shops (7:00p, I think). Will definitely be back. read more

I came here today and had an amazing experience. It was the best haircut I've had since I moved here. The conversation was great and Alicia did an incredible job. Couldn't have been happier with the outcome and they're open till 7 which is great for getting out of work. Definitely my new local shop. read more

Made an appointment that day and rolled in an hour later, Mikey gave me a good haircut at a good price. Complimentary snacks and drinks, which was a cool perk. read more

Fantastic work and friendly service. It was my first time here after mahy bad experiences at different places in the area, but Ilias knows his stuff. I couldn't be happier read more

Just an amazing place! A must if you are looking for a quality job done by someone who takes pride in their work!

Best barber in town. Extremely meticulous. Offers a free cleanup if you are not happy with your cut. Also a stark supporter of law enforcement and military as displayed by his discounts. read more

Fresh cuts, fresh beard, all set... Nobody beats the folks at this shop. Small shop packs a big punch.

Went here for the first time today since moving into the neighborhood. Best haircut I have received in a while. The owner is great and explained everything he did and recommended things that would work great with my hair and head. Defiantly recommend him if you want a true barber experience. Thanks!!! read more

I had entered my name into a bunch of drawings and won a free hair cut from this place, I called them up and could only leave a message. In my message I indicated that I won the drawing and would appreciate a call back to explain how I claim the prize. No one called me back. I saw that I could message them from their website and still no reply back. I reread the information from the drawing and based that and their answering machine message I went to booksby.com and made an appointment online because they no longer accepted walk ins. There was a space when making the appointment to indicate the my husband would be using the prize. I received confirmation and then the day of the appointment I received a cancellation notice. It indicated that there was an opening for a different time slot if we wanted it, just call their number and confirm it. So I did again leaving a message because they don't answer their phone. I also stated my phone number if this time slot was going to work to call us. My husband showed up at the appointed time and the guy that worked there was so rude to him. They acted like he was a second class citizen. The guy kept showing my husband his phone see your not on this and point to a board stating they needed to see my drivers license to claim this prize. He rescheduled my husband with an attitude and no apology. After the way he treated my husband and myself by not calling me back or answering my message we will never do business with them. There are plenty of great Barber Shops in the area and at a better price than this pompass arrogant place. I suggest people save their money and go elsewhere. I dont think that they wanted to give away a free haircut, which could have generated a new client. Their loss! I'm only giving them the one star because it requires me to in order to post, they really don't deserve that. read more

Really good barber, proud of what he does, I was new in swampscott but he made me feel like i was home, he does a great job everytime, I tip him 4 dollars every time just because he is a great friend and he does a great job. He also talks to you while you are getting your cut done, he tells you some nice stories, or he will make you laugh. Great man, im actually going to get my cut on monday. Keep up the excellent work Ilias. read more

I'll definitely be going here from now on. read more

I usually float around between different barbers depending on what is convenient or has a seat open. However, I think I will be making Blue Line my default choice for a haircut. I was very impressed both by the cleanliness of the store and the knowledge of the barber. Unlike other barbershops, Elias (sp?), the owner, takes his time to go over your options if you're looking for something other than the "usual." He also stands behind his work, so if you don't like how something came out the next day, he'll be happy to fix it free of charge. Furthermore, if you have hair like mine which grows back in a week, he will also clean up the neck and trim free of charge so you're looking sharp until your next major cut. He's also just a nice guy and makes you feel comfortable. As for convenience, it is across the street from the Swampscott commuter rail stop if you're commuting home. I wouldn't be surprised if people took the train up from Boston just to get a great haircut for $16.00 that is far superior to the $40.00 cuts you get downtown. Definitely check this place out! read more
