Got the worst haircut ever. They do not listen and just randomly cut your hair. Do not recommend

If you want to screw up your hair go here, the old man doesn't know how to cut hair at all he is simply lawn mowing with his clippers.

The first time I went here met the son. Really great chap had a good cut. Approx 20 including tips for the haircut which was decent The second time I went here just for a trim (literally nothing else) for which was charged 10 which makes no sense. Would have expected 5 at the most, 10 was certainly unexpected. read more

Estephan and Mark are great. I have been going to them for years. I started taking my now 5 year old about two years ago. A great place to get a hair cut, super reasonably priced. Great with Kids. read more

Estephan and his son are the best. I have been going to them since 2011 and alway get a good haircut. There's also a municipal parking lot next door if you can't find on street parking. read more

I've been getting my hair cut here since 2018. Marc has mainly been my barber the entire time and he is extremely consistent with his quality. He's also a really cool guy to shoot the shit with. He's extremely accommodating and very creative. Prices are fair and service is great. I don't plan on ever going anywhere else. read more

Great barbershop. Always a good conversation with Estephan and Mark. Reasonably priced

My regular barber was on vacation until mid next week, and I desperately needed a haircut, as my hair was starting to grow over my ears and my shirt collar. I did a search on Yelp for barbers in my area and sorted them by rating. After reading a few reviews and information about the business, I opted to go to E&C for my haircut and beard trim. Estephan was a really nice guy. He took several opportunities to get to know me and crack a couple jokes to keep the mood light. I'd like to go back to E&C just for the interaction with Estephan. Unfortunately, when I go to a barber shop, it's to get a haircut. I'm not sure if I wasn't clear about what I wanted, or if it was just because I caught him ten minutes before he was closing, but I am not happy with the way my haircut turned out. There are clumps of hair longer than the rest of the surrounding hair, and there are areas where it seems like the hair was cut shorter than the surrounding hair. I also think the neck line on my beard is a little uneven, and I may end up having to just shave it all off and start over again. The real kicker is that I asked him to just trim around the edges to clean up the hair around my ears and back of my head, around the neck area. I also asked him to keep my facial hair the same length it was, and to just shape it so it looked neater (I had no defined neck line yet). He made my beard hair really short to the point of being little more than an exaggerated stubble. It was too late to say anything once he already started; it should have been a dead giveaway when I told him I wanted the length of the hair on the side of my head, around my ears, etc. to be the same as the current length of my beard hair, and he said, "No, we'll clean that up. Make it look nice." After cutting my hair, he made me style it. I've never had to style my own hair after getting it cut in a professional setting. I left the barber shop with sticky hands and wondering what had just gone wrong. I didn't fully realize how bad of a haircut it was until after I showered, with all of the product out of my hair. I now have no choice but to put a strong-hold gel in my hair if I don't want to look like I cut it myself without a mirror. I really wish my overall experience would have been better. I really liked Estephan. Enough to give him a good tip. This would be a two-star rating if it weren't for the fact that Estephan was such a nice guy and that it seemed like he genuinely knew what he was doing. Usually, when I have a bad experience, I say "better luck next time", but after dealing with my hair this morning, I don't think there will be one. read more

Nice guy. Everyone knows how a guy feels about choosing a nice barber. And after looking in two countries and multiple cities I finally found one who can handle the scissor. Worth visiting. Have a picture along if you'd wana be specific. read more

The other day, I found myself at a loss for a haircut. My usual barber was out of town and I needed a cut. I decided to go check out E&C's in Malden center. It was very easy to get to, as they're in a great location on Pleasant street. The shop was clean and had a classic feel to it. I actually found the waiting area more comfortable than most shops. Mark was my barber. We had a great conversation, as he cut my hair. I felt right at home there. I really liked that he didn't rush the haircut. I could see that he was putting time into my cut and I didn't feel like I was just another number. I got a #1 fade and was very happy with the results. E&C's is a hidden gem. There's a reason that they've been in the heart of Malden for 16 years strong. If you're in the area & looking for a great cut, I highly recommend them. I know that I'll be going back. read more

Mediocre haircut. Great guy, but he didn't know what a undercut was...one of the most popular haircuts these days.

Best barber I've ever been to. Estephan owns this place and is the only employee. He's incredible. He's not one of those flamboyant hair stylists, but rather a regular family guy. Don't be put off by his thick Lebanese accent; he has full command of the English language. He's super-friendly. Considering I only see him once every couple of months, it's amazing how much he remembers about me each time I go. I had him do my wedding haircut. I went a week ahead of time, and after he cut me (regular price), he told me to come back the day before the wedding for a touch up, free of charge. I looked great in the pictures. Very reasonable prices too. If I'm not mistaken, I think it's still $14 for a cut, and $3 for a wash, followed by as much free product in your hair as you care for. You leave looking great. I didn't upload the picture that's available for this business, but it's a great one. You can even see Estephan through the window. Pleasant Street parking and traffic can be kind of a pain, so I generally park at the Stop&Shop nearby and then walk here. read more

I live in Malden and am new to this locality. E&C Barber Shop is the nearest place to get a haircut. Estephan like to chat with the customer which is nice but this is no replacement for a good haircut. I would much like to have a barber who does his talking by showing his skills on your hair not just the talk. On my two visits he was talking too much and most of the time complaining how tired he is ...... Both the times I got the WORST haircuts of my life. To be honest all I wanted was shorter well trimmed hair and gave clear instructions. Probably for Estephan short hairs mean that your skull should be visible and that's what I got both the times. It is so very embarrassing! Never going there again and won't recommend anyone to go there. read more

Estefan knows how to cut hair. The guy has so much experience and is very intelligent. No one I know has a method of getting bits of hair away from my necky area better than him. At the end, he will make sure you do not have annoying bits of hair stuck in the crevices of your skin or if you're like me, in rolls of neck fat. His secret method will not be shared here, you will have to go and experience it yourself. He is the man. I will be back. read more

Mark and his father are both excellent barbers. Always ready for a friendly conversation and most importantly they remember you -- what number razor depth you prefer, where you live, what you do for work. They truly care about their customers. read more

I went to his barber shop once, and that's really as many times as I need to go. Although we did have a very pleasant conversation and my hair looked initially fine, as it started to grow the situation got worse. I'm only giving this place two stars because of Estephan. He's a really nice guy. Unfortunately, his hair cutting skills need improvement. read more

Estephan is the man!! Great haircut for cheap! Very relaxed environment! But he's not open Sunday's because he has to "Cut the grass & water his garden" lmfao read more

Im there once a month, I get a great cut, fair prices, Estephan is a really nice guy. He's the only employee. Never overcrowded, the place is kept nice and clean. He does a great job and somehow always remembers me. 5 stars. read more

Estephan was fantastic. Friendly, fast, and exactly the cut I wanted. I'll be back again and again!

I am shopping around for a new barber and went to this shop the other day to give it a try. The shop is very clean and sanitary which was a great first impression! Estephan immediately came and introduced himself with a handshake. I sat down and explained what I wanted. My haircut is definitely not complicated. Fade on the sides and leave the length on the top (I'm growing my hair out). Long story short he cut my hair way too short on top. I asked for barely a trim and he took a good inch off in some spots. He did ok with the fade and good detail to the sideburns and neck however the top is what I was concerned with! A+ for shop cleanliness but a C for the haircut read more

Estephan is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He does a great job and cuts your hair the way you like it. He has a nice clean shop and you won't find a better place to go get handsome!! Good work Estephan!! Keep it up!! read more

Best haircut I've ever had. It was cheap on price and top notch quality. I'd hughly recommended it to anyone!

A great visit. Estephan loves to get to know you a bit better, while also giving you a great hair cut. You can tell this guy has had lots of practice--he'll work with you getting what you want, while also making you feel valued and making nice conversation. He gets rid of those annoying little hairs that are stick in the skin folds in the neck amazingly, and his shop is clean and nice. I'll definitely be back, and I encourage everybody to go see this master barber, who has certainly earned his title. read more

Great cut, engaging conversation, fair pricing. I'll be back!

This place is great! Estephan does a terrific job on boys/mens cuts. Very friendly too! The store is clean and comfortable. I highly recommend them. read more

Two stars solidly because Estephan is such a nice guy. Usually when I walk into a new barbershop they let it be known that they don't know how to cut "my type of hair". Which is perfectly fine after waiting to get my haircut I made it very clear what I wanted. (just a fade and a line up) but i barely received either. yes the work was quick and it is a reasonable price. I will never go their again this place is not POC friendly. constant remarks about my hair, very nervous to touch it. Not only did I not get the cut I wanted but also that "I should shampoo and brush and comb my hair out next time I come" read more
