It was a quick in and out for my standard short hair cut. Location is clean and staff is friendly and very talkative to keep the cut entertaining to say the least. So if you need a quick buzz, recommend grabbing an appointment and making your way to Pete's to ensure you look neat and clean with a new cut!

So it's July 3rd in the morning and I am visiting from out of town on vacation and I'm looking for…read morea place to trim beards. I call a few businesses and no dice, but I call this place and Peter, the business owner, answers the phone. I tell him specifically that I need a beard trim and he tells me that they are not taking appointments over the phone but to go to his website. I tell him thanks but all I need is a beard trim and do you think there might be someone available for that. He says, I would need to make an appointment for the beard trim, but Jim is available at 1:30. Book it on the website. It's at 1:30. So I plan my whole day around this 1:30 slot, which is right in the middle of the day (on my vacation of which I could be doing other things) because he told me it was available. I leave my girlfriend to wait for me and get here...and as soon as I get here, Jim comes outside and says he can't trim my beard. Just around the sides of my mask. I tell him that Peter told me specifically that I could. Apparently Peter was standing right next to Him and Jim just looks at him. Peter, says excuse me? I repeated to him that he had told me to make an appointment for a trim on the website. He says, nope...no you didn't. Some now I'm angry. This guys wastes my time...and then lies about speaking to me on the phone. I tell him that he's wasted my time and he reiterates that it's not his decision...it's the governments. Why didn't he tell me that on the phone?? Instead I waste a whole day waiting around for an appointment that would never happen. I tell him that this will end up in a review and he calls me an A$$hole and to go back to Massachusetts and trim the beard myself. What a great guy. Thanks Pete.

After I told her it was not okay, she just started blaming me for it. She was way to distracted by a kid in the seat next to us and not paying attention to my hair while cutting it. I even gave her a tip and she did not say "Thank you" or anything, just ignored me. I do not recommend this place to anybody, the worst attitude I've ever seen in the service industry.

This is a great locally owned small business. The fact that it is in a fairly rundown building…read morethat had to be a motel 50 years ago just adds to the atmosphere. This is a place for guys to go get their hair cut....plain and simple. All guy barbers, flat screens on the walls, comfy couches, soda machine.....but also very little testosterone. I had always imagined a mens barbershop to be a bunch of overly proud men congregating to congratulate themselves on being male. The workers here are young-ish but respectful. They interact with adolescents, 20-somethings and 'older' professionals at whatever level and conversation springs up. They all take pride in what they do and want you leaving looking your absolute best. They spent just as much time on my hair 4 days before Easter as they have on a random September day. I find the cuts are much better than the quick in/out salon places. From a guys perspective the banter and surrounding conversations are MUCH more tolerable. The price is the same for me here as it was those other places and the attention to detail and what I want makes it a no brainer (seriously, do I have to argue with the stylist on how i want MY hair cut? Those other places are awful for guys).

Their hospitality and customer service are consistently exceptional, and it is clear that they genuinely care about the people who sit in their chairs. Charlie is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people you will ever meet. He remembers what is going on in your life, asks about your family, and talks to you with real care and attention. It is a family run shop, and his sons Mark and Leo bring that same warmth and skill to every appointment. They are all incredibly talented, and you never have to worry if one of them is out of town. They work seamlessly as a team, and your hair always comes out exactly the way you want it. Every visit is comfortable, friendly, and consistently enjoyable. This shop is a true gem in the community. If you want a barbershop where you feel welcome, listened to, and cared for, this is the place.

Can I please merely say that the cut I received makes me want to tear my hair out and it (surely…read moreunintentionally) set me up for at least a year of discomfort at a critical point of my life. I am totally uncomfortable and unconfident with a dorky mobster-like haircut that lacks finesse (frankly, it looks stupid, with many uneven ends apparent months later and revealing a silly cowlick on the back of my head, which has never once been an issue for me). Simply not at all what I envisioned or needed. Sure the place's regulars love the classic cuts they receive, but I did not appreciate the barbershop treatment at a place holding itself out as a salon on a Broadway Avenue in a city like Providence. I strongly recommend the place adds a unisex-friendly specialist to their team - that would really modernize this joint, which is not a 5-star one.
