Really disappointed with Phil's lately, not because the haircut is mediocre at best (it's always…read moreonly been a 2-star haircut...) but more so because it's become a politically charged conversation where all Phil and Cindy do is focus on complaining about how they are being targeted unfairly for some silly parking disputes. Last I checked they were a service based business that focused on cutting hair making people look/feel good. If they would focus on that, they'd do themselves a favor and maybe they'd get 3-stars. A local business like this needs to set the tone by taking the high road, adapting to the changing world around them, and make a welcome space for all their customers. I want to laugh a little and then I want the barber to shut up and cut my hair. Instead, you get an earful of negativity from these two about how they're victims, and I leave with one side being uneven and I'm stressed and frustrated. This is not the barbershop experience I knew there 10 or 15 years ago. This review written with full disapproving-dad face due to the childish nature of two formerly solid barbers. I've taken my business down the street to some better barbers in Arlington that give good haircuts and focus on the person in the chair, not griping about their own victim mentality. Fast Phil's was once a decent spot. Now, they're just bitter divisive people that should have put the clippers down a while ago.

Love these guys! They are my family's barbers; we've gone to them for two generations, and likely…read moregoing on three.

I used to go this barber shop all the time back in the 1970's and 80's when I lived nearby. Back…read morethen, I always got the owner, who was one of the nicest gentleman on the planet. Since I moved, I hadn't been back until recently. I drove by here about ten days ago, and noticed their price! Much better than where I've been going, although there was nothing wrong with the quality. So I parked across the street and went in. There was no wait. the barber was a very nice guy and did a quality job in just a few minutes! This looks like an old-school barber tat harkens back to days gone by. Even though everything was old, I enjoyed the ambiance! This is now going to be my go-to barber shop.

Quantity over quality - that's my hard lesson I've learned about some barbers in the boston area…read more I'm not sure what the appeal is about places like this and Fast Phil's, I was misconstrued by the 4.5 stars from both places to give them a try because I needed a cheap haircut under $15. Alibrandi's offers $12 haircuts or $10 for seniors and kids. Upon walking in, you're presented with a hodge podge of historic sports memorabilia. This place has been around for a long time. There were 2 gentleman giving haircuts and with no line, the older fella offered to give me a haircut. I should have walked out at this point because I knew the price was too good to be true, but I was already there and I figured why not, let's give him a try, it's a slow day! But boy... do i regret making that choice. I showed the man (in his 70s) a picture of a combover and asked to keep the top long and the sides short - a high skin fade. He abides and we commence. Immediately I knew this wasnt going to be good when he quickly started with a "0" and finished my sides under a minute. He then used 2 more guards to round out the fade and used some scissors to blend - missing to go over the area again to catch any loose hairs. When we were done I didnt get a 360 view of my haircut and was told I was done. While taking off the apron, half the hair spilled on my shoulders and there was no use of blow drying to remove the hair. I mean come on... Just tiny things like a blow dryer to remove hair and even spending a few extra minutes to pay attention to detail would have more customers lining up, but I guess there's a market for these fast and rough haircuts. If you're short of money and dont care much about what the end product is but just want to remove some hair because it's either getting in the way or too long, this could be a good bargain for you. This or just using some scissors at home. I would pay to have my hair back :( 1 star because they were nice at least.

I moved back to Boston just shy of 4 years ago and needed a new barber. I stumbled on Brian via…read morerecommendations and I haven't looked back. When he let me know he was opening his new place, I knew I would follow him there as I was very proud he was taking the leap to going into business for himself. I've always received a great cut and beard trim from him... that's a given. With the new location though what you get is a bespoke, intimate experience with a friend. Brian popped a Flip skate video in the VHS and it was non-stop chat with a bud the hour-plus went by like it was nothing. He always goes the extra mile to make my cut look great (as it's generally the best I'll look all month) and takes extra special attention to my beard. If you're looking for a competent, capable barber and like a solid vibe, this is your place.

I found this place when I lived in Somerville and glad I did!…read more Ann Marie cut my hair once (maybe 2x), but she always remembers me and is just an overall sweet and kind person. Natalie usually cuts my hair and has always done a great job. Onetime one side was a little longer than the other so I came back a few days later asked her to touch it up. Not only did she not charge me for it, she refused to take any money. Be warned though- if you're not in the area, CALL AHEAD. Sometimes they aren't open during their normal business hours. Yeah you can complain about that, but a great cut at a great price by great people? I'll deal with calling ahead of time.

He always takes the time to get it just right, checks in throughout, and somehow remembers exactly how I like it even months later. The shop itself has a great local vibe, clean, comfortable, and welcoming, but it's Eddie's professionalism and skill that make me keep coming back. Whether it's a quick cleanup or a full restyle, he nails it every time. Highly recommend Eddie at Dente's if you're looking for a reliable, high-quality barber in Somerville. You'll walk out feeling fresh every time.

He was very rude and honestly seemed high out of his mind to be quite honest. He also was making a lot of rude comments about cutting 'women's hair' (i am queer and have had a standard men's cut for the last 10 years, nothing crazy. I go to barbershops all the time, and I told him I could leave if he was uncomfortable cutting my hair). I should have just walked out. Avoid this place at all cost.
