What do I say about a man who is well known already in his community??? Not much. Josh, the owner, the barber, the man is one to go if you need a haircut and I mean any type. I have been around the area for 2 years now and tried quite a few however it's not easy to find someone who understands facial structure, u as a person and also the work you do. I am not in a job where one can go bonkers neither do I would like as a person and he was guarded from the first minute. I liked that he didn't fan my wild side and neither did he try to ignite those crazy moments which usually ends up one questioning ones decisions. Yes, I do take haircut seriously although it might not look that way. Presentation is all that matters. Thanks to him he slowly guided me through all the nuances of the fades( yes, I am a novice ) and the changes one might need (lifestyle - think about the time u need to spend). Worcester: you found an artist. Not only am happy but am waiting for this pandemic crisis to be over so that we all can get back to our life safely(sans the politics please). Communication is key we all learn and Josh is killing it. Even before the big corporations come out with their notifications of what the MA gov(not naming as this will definitely change with time) rules, his has always been the first. Can't wait to get back to his den and get my look back. He doesn't give a haircut, he transforms. He makes you look sharp and the way you wanna look. Message for you Josh: keep changing the face of the woo!! read more

The barbers are very nice and pleasant, but I received one of the worst haircuts I've ever had. I asked for a classic haircut, (textured quif) slight taper on the sides, just a trim on the top. What I received was a completely shaved head, no taper and left a small patch of long hair in the front. There are also patches of longer hair where the sides are shaved, so it looks like I cut my own hair. It's too short to have it fixed somewhere else. Bummed. read more

Heartland Barber - Before cut. - Barbers Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

See all

Josh is a great barber and has done an excellent job keeping customers safe during covid, as well as making sure booking appointments are easy. Not only that - but the shop has a great atmosphere, music, and feel. read more

96 days between haircuts (but who's counting?!) is way too long, but a global pandemic will do that, I suppose. After driving to my barber in Boston for years, I was finally motivated to find someone local during lockdown. I am super pumped to have found Josh just 8 minutes from home. This shop is very cool - clean above all, but a very cool space. His prices are just right, and my first experience was very positive. I'm someone who screams positive feedback from the rooftops, so please, if you have not yet found your fantasy barbershop, go online and book an appointment! Yes - online booking, like a barber working in 2020. Thanks again, Josh - I have already referred your biz to my neighbors. See you soon! read more

This ain't no shitty haircut factory where you leave wishing you said something about how terrible your haircut is. This is a place to go get a quality haircut that is done right every time. Not only will you get a good haircut, but the space is amazing. It's well thought out and in an equally rad coffee shop/ hipstery store. So come here for a quality product with great customer service or don't and go to super cut and end up looking like a dolt. read more

This place is truly a unique barbershop here in Worcester. As you walk in you enter the coffee shop and on your left are the stations. I've been looking for a really cool barbershop for a long time and I have finally found a cool place here with Josh. The vibe is awesome, the haircut was amazing, and the music playing in the background made me feel right at home. I will definitely be coming back to josh for my future cuts! My girlfriend being a hairstylist loved his work as well. Tons of parking in front and on your way out be sure to grab a cup of coffee or check out the motorcycles they have there. I hope this review encourages people to visit his shop as it truly is a great barbershop. read more

Said it was open on google website and we walked in and it was closed, the place looked clean and nice.

I've had my favorite barbers at places I've lived, but Josh is the best there is. I've been going to him for almost a year now. I like that he is exacting in his work and pays special attention-to-detail in every cut. He also does the old-fashioned, straight-razor and warm shaving cream neck trim. He is a rare breed of barber; I will have an extremely difficult time finding another like him when I move out of town. Give him a try...I promise that you won't be disappointed! read more

I've bounced around from barber to barber trying to find one that fits my needs. Josh is my go-to now. He actually pays attention to the job he's doing instead of looking at himself in the mirror. And the conversation is always enjoyable. Admittedly, barber shop small talk is my least favorite part of getting my hair cut. But Josh has a good handle on judging how much the customer wants to chat. Great barber in a really unique space. Highly recommended! read more

I've been going to Josh for years, since he was in Milford. His new shop is a great atmosphere, friendly and he's an amazing person and barber. read more

Love the new shop! I have been going to Josh for over a year and have been given a top notch cut every time. Josh is a true professional barber and will be very successful at the new location. He is a great conversationalist and also uses a convenient booking app so I can fit the visit into my day off and go on with the day. Pay him a visit you will not be disappointed! read more

Definitely glad I found Josh and Heartland Barber. Skilled barber who is great with beards. Nice convenient location inside a coffee shop.

Finding a new barber and getting the haircut you want is never easy, but Josh did a great job helping me figure out the haircut I wanted. The haircut turned out perfectly and the price was very reasonable. The vibe and decor are also on point and unique. I'll definitely be back and would happily recommend it to any of my friends. As an added bonus the space is shared with a great coffee shop. read more

Heartland Barber gets it. They saw the need for a top notch barber in this up and coming section of Worcester and they hit it out of the ballpark. And they have a great building location (if you're a coffee drinker you're going to die smelling the dark roast). Competitive pricing and an owner who knows his sh*t when it comes to styling hair. Definitely worth checking out! read more

This barber shop is like no other. It isn't your typical barber shop. As soon as you enter the building you are overtaken by a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Josh is a one of a kind barber that makes you feel completely comfortable and confident that you are going to leave there with a great hair cut and a smile on your face. The service is outstanding. When sitting in the chair you get to look out into a custom motorcycle/woodworking shop. And if you are waiting for your appointment you can sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee from the cafe. Truly an experience that is unmatched. read more

Definitely was what I was looking for. This is a classy Barbershop and Josh is a professional. His attention to detail and demeanor make it a great place to get a trim. I went today for the first time and typically wouldn't write a review with just one visit; but yes, he's THAT good! read more

He didn't really listen to what I asked for and I could tell he wasn't listening to the exact details of what I'd like. It ended up being way too short and he seemed to do it how he thought would best fit me. If my hair type wasn't going to work for what I asked for, it's fine, but I wasn't even told that. read more

A hidden gem in the heart of Worcester. Online appointments allow you to see and choose a time that works for you. Josh does a great job in his amazingly cool shop. I grabbed a coffee after my haircut at New Tradition adjacent to the barbershop. Great people in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Thanks read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Josh for a few years now and he's always done quality work. The experience has always felt welcoming and personal. Highly recommended read more

If you are LGBTQ and looking for a welcoming barber, this is the place. I'm a (mildly) butch lesbian and was having trouble finding a place where I felt welcomed but could also get an awesome haircut. Most barbershops felt judgy, and the chain haircut places just didn't have the talent. Then I found a Yelp review by a gay man about barbershop in Milford. I gave it a try and it felt like nobody there even gave me a second look. Josh gave me my first haircut there and it was awesome. He asked a bunch of questions to figure out what I was looking for and then delivered the exact cut I had in mind. He opened up Heartland around the same time that I moved closer to Worcester so I followed him here. I could not be happier with that decision. I have loved my hair every time I've been. I feel welcomed every time. He instagrammed a post one day saying how welcoming he is to the LGBTQ crowd, so now I know that I am truly welcomed and it's not just in my head. He's good people and a super talented barber. If you are looking for a nice haircut in a cool environment, this is the place. read more
