Been to a lot of different spots in Boston for haircuts, and typically really picky but this place killed it. Haven't really found the go-to guy at other places, but Derek may have changed that. Nailed the cut and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend. read more

Per a yelp review I tried this place and it was great, the guys make you feel right at home and do a good job with the haircut. Reasonably priced at $16. According to them it's the spot for the BC athletes during the school year and seems like a cool spot, plenty of autographed stuff on the walls and a tv to watch too. I will definitely go back. read more

Got served by a barber called Brian but he was cutting with left hand while talking to another barber. Felt really uncomfortable.

Stopped in for my first time since moving to the neighborhood and was very impressed. Doesn't look like much from the outside, and is very easy to drive by (I've done so more times than I can count before I noticed it), but once you step inside you'll see that it's quite a nice place. I stopped by on a Wednesday around 3 and was whisked away to a chair as soon as I stepped in the door. The haircut was quick, but not rushed, the conversation was good, and unlike most barbers I've ever been to, the hair vacuum thing-a-ma-bob actually does what its supposed to do and takes care of your no longer necessary hair. The price was the fairly standard $16 among barber shops in Boston (discount for kids and seniors), but I definitely feel like you get more for your money at Lessard's. read more

These guys know how to give a great guy's cut. Skip Supercuts and check out Lessard's. Lines can get long at times so bring something to read or something to do on your phone. read more

Nice to have a neighborhood Barbershop. Unfortunately this place has had issues with cleanliness since they've opened. As a customer I should not have to ask for them to clean someone elses hair off the seat or the floor. The cut was okay, nothing great. Wish I could say this was a one time thing, but the shop has had sanitary issues like this, every time I've walked in for years! I could understand if it was a busy Saturday but not middle of the week, during a slow period. I do admire thier respect for history. But I've seen cleaner Tattoo parlors! I am sorry I cannot recommend. read more

Great place: got an awesome cut at a great price and the service was fantastic. Derek is a cool guy and he went out of his way to give me a perfect cut. New to the area and happy to have found this place! read more

Shop is always busy but I've never waited for more than 10 minutes even at peak time. I kept my hair buzzed short when I went here and some of the best high and tights I have ever had from this shop. Took time to get the fade perfect and used a foil shaver, which felt amazing. Saw lots of great longer cuts too. Definitely a go-to type of place. read more

Very inconsistent. Recommended this joint to my brother who went and got a terrible cut. He took it out on me and we are no longer speaking because of it. Ruined our relationship read more

Basically the consistently best hair cuts I've gotten in years. They're open great hours Tuesday - Saturday and have anywhere from 2 to 5 barbers in the shop depending on the time of day. In the beginning, I tried to go to the same barber every time so I could get the same quality haircut. But the guy I was looking for wasn't working so I tried a different one -- and I got almost the exact same haircut. As long as you tell them what you want, you'll get it. At this point, I've tried 4 different barbers and just go to whoever is available, and I'm always happy. There's usually a line of people waiting because of how popular it is, but it can move quickly on off hours or if there are a lot of barbers in shop. The standard haircut costs $18 cash (credit not accepted), which is a $2 raise from last year, but it's worth it. Especially to support a local barbershop in an area with a quickly raising price of living. read more

I have gotten both my best and my worst haircuts EVER at the shop. My worst was today when it really mattered for an important work week. **Do Not get a cut on Monday. Feels like amateur hour. Today I received the most botched job (a bowl cut would have been better; bowl included). I specifically told the gentleman exactly what I wanted and he proceeded to ignore all of my instructions and leave me with what looks like a toupee sitting on an egg. Sorry to be harsh, but any other day this would've been a 5 star review because Matt and Mike are the best, true professionals. read more

I created a YELP just for this because I was taken back by this experience. I see all these 5 star rating, and I would absolutely agree until I had my most recent haircut. I walk in at 7 PM. (they close at 9) sit down and the guy in the front (Michael I think) tells me there is another barber in the back (to whom I usually go to). So I walk back, he comes out and I go to the chair. He then tells me he was on his way out to which I respond, "do you mind giving me a cut or should I go wait" (why did the guy up front tell me to go see him if he was leaving!?) He proceeds to cut my hair and at the end asks, what do you think (about the haircut)? I ask him if he can try and fade it in a bit more. - I do a 1 on top, zero around sides and fade where they meet. - VERY SIMPLE!!! He then says I can't, to which I respond "OK, no worries". He then becomes grumpy does it and in the mean time tells me that. "IF YOU COME BACK TO THE BARBERSHOP SEE MICHAEL, AND THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THE CUT" I was very confused as to why he was saying this. I have always tipped him for a simple haircut that he does. So when I handed him the money he insisted that I take it back because, "neither one of us is happy with the service and that he wont cut my hair in the future. I left the money and walked out. WORST HAIRCUT EXPERIENCE EVER!!! read more

These guys are some of the best in the business--always fair, always reasonably priced, and always consistent. Mike gives the best fade in all of Boston. He never rushes a haircut and always makes sure you walk out looking like a million dollars. Also one of the nicest, most genuine dudes out there. I graduated last May and moved away and I still miss these guys every time I get a haircut. Heck, I'm writing this review in New Jersey. If you live close enough, consider yourself lucky. read more

These guys do a great job, have a lot of fun and charge a very reasonable price. I've been going there for years and have never had a bad haircut. read more

Old-school, no-bullshit haircuts from three of the friendliest Boston guys you'll ever meet: Mike, Paul and Matt. And not once have I left there unsatisfied. Sometimes they're a little undermanned, but not getting your 'dew massacred is worth some patience. I've been traveling by bus, T, bike and borrowed friends' cars to get here from Davis Sq for over three years. Best in the city. read more

Worst cut I've ever gotten. I went in because I was short on time and now, I'm embarrassed to go to work tomorrow. The guy displayed zero passion for his trade. If you want a good haircut go to Michaels down the street. read more

Paul, Mike, and Matt all give great cuts.

I've been going here on and off for the past 3 years and have always left with a great haircut. I still make the trip across town for these guys after I moved from Brighton to Medford. read more

Quick, efficient, and friendly at a reasonable price. They're open early, so I can get a cut in before work some days. The employees are down to earth and can share a conversation, but aren't the annoying salon-type that pry about your life. read more

This place is top notch. It has the old stye barber feel with a new school twist. They are open till 9 during the week which is huge if like me your work doesn't get out till after 5 so you can run in after and get a trim. All the guys in their know what they are doing you truly can't go wrong with which ever seat you sit in. If you have just moved to the area and are looking for a new barber or just want a change from your old place then I strongly suggest you check out Lessard's. read more

I had a great experience tonight. They close at 7:45 on fridays and I showed up at 7:15. They happily took me. I was greeted by and my haircut with Nick. He's a young guy but he does men's cuts really well. He took what I asked for and delivered results. If you're looking for a great men's cut (I'm 28) then ask for Nick. Remember it's CASH ONLY here. read more

I keep going to the boys every other week. The best barber shop in Boston. Prices are fantastic - 16 dollars for a men's cut and I always throw the lads a 20 and it is still cheaper than most other places. You will not be disappointed. Great hours read more

This place has some great barbers, shout out to Mike and Paul. It can be a little busy but that's how you know it's a good spot. It's usually not more than a 30 minute wait during peak hours. read more

Been coming here for almost a decade since they were in their old hole in the wall location 3 doors down. It's almost impossible to find a barber outside of Chinatown that can cut asian hair well and Mike and Paul just know how to cut hair no matter the ethnic hair type. Then add the laid back atmoshphere and there really isn't any other reason to go anywhere else for a haircut. read more

You will not find a better place to get your haircut anywhere, period! I've been getting my haircut by Paul for 20 years. If, for whatever reason, Paul isn't around, I have confidence in his best buddy Mike. The guys in the back are solid too. . These guys know how to cut hair. I gladly drive 30 minutes to the shop a couple of times a month, because I know I what I'm going to get; an old school shop with nice guys who take pride in the business and care about each customer's experience.. so much so that they recently had the hardwoods resurfaced. . Who knows what the next investment is gonna be... knock a wall down, add 2 more barbers.. it's a mystery. read more

My local barber. Every barber I've had there is lifelong experienced and won't let you leave until you're happy. They'll engage you in conversation if you want but leave you alone if you feel like zoning out. Cash only, tip well! read more

Usually this place doesn't do women but I just needed an undercut trimmed up. Wait was about 45 min but that's because most of the guys who come here are pretty devoted. The guy cutting hair with sleeves knew a lot of them by name and was nice to everyone. Supercuts down the street wanted to charge me 16 for a 30 second buzz, so I worked up the courage to walk in. Charged only 5 bucks and they were super friendly with an invite to stop back when it grows out again. Guy next door to me also had a haircut here and it looks awesome. The guys that had haircuts while I was waiting came out looking pretty good too. I was a little amazed at how well he could do in a very short amount of time. read more

Great place. Definitely a classic barbershop. The Dylan poster when you walk in is all you need to know.

This is my local barbershop and the one I've used many times in the past few years. There is always a line so expect to wait around 5-10 minutes for your turn. The shop is pretty old and has a classic feel to it. The guys know what they're doing and will accommodate your needs as long as you explain exactly what style you're going for. Never had a bad experience and for just $16 a cut I'd say it's a great place to go. read more

Mike and Paul have been cutting my hair every other week for the better part of the past two decades. I've found them to be nothing more than courteous, professional and a positive influence on a neighborhood full of connivence stores and nail parlors. Their homage to the predecessor, classic Americana and the Golden Age of sports adds something to the experience. Not only do I call them my barber but consider them to be friends after this many years. I've never had to ask them to sweep hair off a seat ever. As far as on the ground-it's a barber shop. If there were ears and noses I'd be concerned. If your in Brighton or even this side of Boston, check this shop and these guys out. read more

Great place, great guys, as quality a cut as you can get at probably the best rate possible in the city. Have to carve out a little time to make it happen, but definitely worth it read more

I tried every barber shop in Brighton when I moved here 10 years ago. After trying lessard's I haven't been anywhere else. Now I bring my son there too - they are great with kids. Mike, Paul, and Matt are great guys and expert barbers. read more

I've been to lessards a few times and they are great guys. Men should have their hair cut by men! These guys are quick and right off the 57/501 bus routes so on your way home from work they are very easy to come to. One ting that might make it 5 stars was if they accept debit/credit cards. Not that getting $16 is hard but sometimes it's just easier to use a card! By the way did I mention it's $16 for a haircut? And their good, no cost cutters etc BS quick, easy and convienant. Also, try coming during the middle of the day during the week because they Are WALK IN ONLY they don't take appointments. Lines can be backed up sometimes. read more

My husband has been going here for years. This is an OLD SCHOOL barber shop with GREAT Barbers who can deliver a fantastic cut and hold a conversation at the same time! Very community friendly and great neighbors to the Oak Square and Brighton area! read more

A wonderful neighborhood gem with a cast of characters working there-sports nuts, music nuts, lots of tats and boxing memorabilia. Quality is just fine. read more

great cuts by cool guys. and now that everyone is older, less of a chance of an impromptu vacation to go golfing for the weekend. not that there's anythign wrong wth that read more

Definitely my go to since my last barber did some funkiness to the front part of my old "headsuit". And at about 1/4 of the price of an upscale salon you end up getting a good cut at a fair price. Others have mentioned the hours and there's been more than one occasion that if i wasn't a lazy a$$ i'd have dragged myself in first thing in the AM and get it out of the way, some day Todd, some day. read more

Great barbershop. Really nice guys, great haircuts, good price. Definitely my new go-to. Wish they did shaves.

Getting my haircut used to be 2nd on my least favorite things to do list after laundry, but after coming here it's no longer that huge inconvenience that I put off til I look like Kramer. Lessard's is my go-to spot and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else as long as I live in Boston. Super friendly staff, plenty of GOOD reading material, and a TV to watch while you get your haircut- not that you'll need it because the barbers there are so nice and great to have a chat with. Who cares about this stuff though, right? It's all about the haircut. Well, besides the comfortable atmosphere and genuinely nice people who work there, they do a great job and are consummate professionals. If you're like me and don't know a 1 clip from a 3 clip, or a buzz from clippers, (that is the extent of my barber jargon) come to Lessard's and they'll fix you up just right. read more

I've been to 3 places in Brighton Center for a haircut and this one is the best I've found so far. These guys are pros that know how to cut men's hair. They're very friendly and the price is reasonable for a good cut. Actually, its cheaper than most of the bad cuts in town. Walk-ins welcome. read more
