Honestly, I have lived in many places from Copley area in Boston, Tampa, Miami, travel a lot... and it sucks because I'm extremely particular about how I get my haircut. I like it faded on the sides, while leaving enough hair on top and sides to spike up.
Most of the time you'll find either...
An ol school barber thats masterful with scissors for the hair left on top... however, not really up to date on the skills to compete a true fade on sides.
Or...
You get a new school barber that can fade, cut designs & all the new styles... But once you say you want to leave hair on top for spiking up or styling... That's when you'll see the amateur in them (to be fair since most younger kids now just get the top buzzed as well.
For years I heard about many of my cousins & friends all talking about a kid named Junior... and when I finally made an appt to get a haircut w him... I literally have been cutting my hair there every single week since. For the first time I have a standing appt every week.
If you're looking for a down to earth, super skilled barber that can cut hair w scissors, give the sickest fades, not to mention draw designs into your hair that takes his skills into a level of their own.
The atmosphere is spacious, friendly, professional and all barbers have amazing skills and class.
If your new to town and looking for a barber that you'll feel like you've know for years and that will always take his time and never rush, even if he's running behind.
Then JR's is the place you want to go.
P.S. As with any barber, if you bring a pic of what you want that you grab off Instagram or google... That'll help them. But I know I've always gotten my haircut with Junior... But at same time, I have friends that started with different barber in the shop... and they swear by them as well.
Honestly, I seen that someone left a bad review... Obviously I don't know this for sure... But there's a lot of competition in area so my assumption is that's someone doing a favor for a competitor. Like I said, no one is as particular about the atmosphere I'm in, the way my hair is cut that both has a sharp fade while being able to be styled. I've been going here for years... And Juniors is always my first stop when I move back when I spend a few months traveling. I know I'm doing a lot of bragging for these guys... But only because they're so humble yet crazy skilled and deserve.
I have absolutely doing this because of how much I appreciate this professionalism and always making you look like a million bucks. read more
