First place I look for when getting a haircut, unfortunately it can be hard to find a time that works because they get busy. Love when Mike brings in his dog! read more

Back to Mike's after a five year stint out of town. I put Kevin to work and he did a great job as always I will continue to recommend them to friends and family read more

Ive been going since Mike took over from Saul, Mike and Kevin are military Vets doing great cuts . I wont go anywhere else , Kevin , Mike both do a great job. My Sons been going since grade school, he still goes and lives 20 miles away. read more

Over priced wouldn't go here ever. Makes it seem like they're doing people a favor. 45$? Really like another reviewer mentioned lousy attitude read more

Fb page describes "hot lather" neck shave after every cut. Also mentions no reservations only walkins. So I was not surprised when no one answered the phone at 3p on a busy Friday. However I was surprised that the Barber let me wait through four other customers to insult me by saying he didn't do "long hair" cuts (my hair isn't long rn... it's been longer than my shoulders and rn only goes to my eyes) and that I was better off finding a "cosmetologist" closet to Boston. He told me I could have asked him at any point about the hot shave that they in fact did not do there despite their fb description. Yeah, cus he seemed so approachable... The second star is only because these guys are vets and deserve respect no matter what from a civilian like me. But unless you want something between a buzz and a crew, don't come here. Thank you for your service. Sorry I didn't take the time to interrupt you while you were with other customers to ask if you had something you offered on the only online description I could find. read more

Mike and Kevin do a good job cutting hair, but are also good people. Mike is more talkative if that's what you want, while Kevin is quieter but will talk if you want to. Both do a great job at cutting hair. A touch expensive. read more

$50 for 20 minutes is a bit steep. It would be ok, but Mike seemed grumpy, and his floor clipper attachments were not clean (hair clippings all over the holder), even though I was the first customer of the day. He opened shop 5 minutes before my appointment, and he mentioned he was working back-to-back appointments all day without his co-worker. read more

FOR__25 BUCKS__how can you go wrong. I had never been here before and needed a haircut IMMEDIATELY with the virus coming. I think I might have been his last customer before he had to "shut down' for the virus pandemic. I was surprised. He was good. He is about 90% as good as the ones that charge a fortune. read more

I've been a customer since they opened (and before that when Mike was at Sal's). Two great guys getting the job done right. The warm cream shave for the back of the neck is icing on the cake. Bring cash as it's a no card operation. read more

Two great patriots and veterans of our military, clean shop, plenty to read while you wait. Mike and Kevin both are worth the wait, either barber will work for me no preference. Plenty of parking in the back. All good for a local shop. Stop in and see for yourself. read more

I've been loyally going for years after trying a few spots after moving to Newton. It's a great asset in the neighborhood. - Consistently excellent hair cuts - cool vintage shop setting - convenient hours - great value (but note: cash only) Straight razor neck shave is a great finish. I generally wait no longer than 15 minutes and often sit right down. read more

Great cut at a reasonable price. Professional. Easy to book appointments and easy parking.

Excellent experience as first timer at Mike's today! My 11 year old son was skeptical but both of us love his haircut and Kevin was great with him. Both guys are friendly and Kevin did a great job! read more

Being from out of town, and looking for a place for a hair cut I am glad I found this place. If you're a man and need a hair cut there is no reason why you shouldn't come here. The prices are cheap, the cut is spectacular and the setting is amazing. Set up like a barber shop from early to mid 1900's, it's exactly the place I want to go and spend my money to get a hair cut. The guys know what they are doing. I told them exactly what i was looking for and they did just that. There is nothing much else I can say about this place that hasn't already been said. The place is cash only, and a cut is $18. You can't beat that at all. read more

This is the only place you need for a haircut, men. As my son has gotten older, so has his hairstyle needs. We were struggling to find a good place that gets men's hair. Mike's delivers in spades! The barbers are incredibly skilled with scissors and razors. And, they remember you and your favorite haircut. The shop is very cool and relaxing. If you get bored waiting (you won't) there's a 1920's Sears catalog to peruse. The vintage furnishings, tin ceiling and 50s music provides lots of eye and ear candy. A fast, masterful haircut at a reasonable price in a vintage setting cannot be beat! read more

Made a Yelp account just to leave this review: I am a teenager who was skeptical at first about going to a "Classic Barber Shop", but not only was I not disappointed, I was amazed. Best haircut I have ever gotten, better than any Salon I have ever been to. Wonderful place and atmosphere, and Mike and Kevin are great individuals and even better barbers. Received the exact haircut that I asked for in a quick, but very careful manner. Just overall best experience I have had getting my haircut, will definitely make this place my regular. read more

Visited for the first time and Mike has exceeded my expectations in his skill work and he was very knowledgeable regarding hair health and maintenance. The ambience too was great which gives the vintage barber shop feel. Very pleased with his work will definitely visit regularly! read more

Nice and classic, good conversation and a great haircut exactly what I've asked for. I have been to several barbers in Newton, Mike is my place from now on. read more

I wanted to support the local shops and I was really excited cause the place looked nice but big mistake. Just like what the other reviewer wrote, If its for a high school kid or just a buzz cut/crew cut then this place is ok. Besides that forget it. Might as well try Supercuts for $20. I should of known when I asked for a classic side part and Kevin reacted like a dear in headlights. Should of known when I asked him questions about the hair and he didn't seem to want to answer. He asked if I want to leave the back long, I say yes, he cuts it anyways. Didn't seem to know what a Fade meant. I showed him pictures too. I would have appreciated it more if he told me he couldn't achieve the look I wanted instead of just hacking around. My hair looked like his by the end of it. Good thing it wasn't for an event. Can't wait til a month from now so it can grow out and I can get it fixed some place else. Forget about calling, no one ever picks up. read more

my boy freind went there for the first time . they did a great job he said there real nice and dont just sheer and crop like sheep my b/f so much more handsome now-- he will def be back !! read more

Best barbers around. Been going to Mike for years before he opened up his own place. Professional, friendly, and always a great cut. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Love the straight edge razor on the neck. read more

Mike & Kevin are great - I always leave with clean & consistent haircuts. Had tried three other area barbers before finding this shop, and haven't gone anywhere else since. Best around. read more

Mike and Kevin are friendly and do a great job at cutting your hair the way that you want it cut. Friendly service. Shop is consistently neat and clean. No appointments, walk ins only. read more

This is absolutely the best barber shop I've been too and they don't even cut my hair! Mike and Kevin are extremely nice and easy to talk too. Always friendly with a great sense of community. I would recommend this to man who wants a quality hair cut and and a wonderful shave by some of the friendliest people I've met. read more

Was looking for a barbershop near my parents house and yelp turned this place up. There was a line when I got there, which is a good sign for a barbershop. The guys working there were friendly and seemed to know most of the customers and their stories. It's like how neighborhood places used to be. Great workmanship and a low price tag. What more can one ask for. read more

Well, I was very nervous walking in because I have not changed my barber in about 6 or 7 years. I just recently moved to Newton, and I needed to find a place that would make me feel comfortable. My roommate told me about Mike's and let me tell you: WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. I had Mike, and he gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever had. They trimmed me up really good, and the price was great! I look forward to keeping this place as my go-to barber shop! read more

Had one decent hair cut here. Then tried to return on two different occasions. Once, on a Saturday around noon -- closed. The 2nd time at 3:15 on a week day -- again closed with a 4:00 PM closing time prominently posted in the window and personnel still in the shop behind locked doors. On the door it stated, "if the door is closed don't knock." This customer service attitude of "don't call me, I'll call you" doesn't work for me. If you need a barber shop that you know will be open and where your business is welcome this place ain't for you. Try Centre Street Barbershop, downtown Newton, and ask for Tony. read more

Great place for a haircut,mike and sol always remember you and always remember your haircut. All the barbers are top notch guys, been going there for years (used to be ye olde clip joint). read more

A+++ place for a haircut. As the name implies, it's a classic style barber shop. Straight razor and shaving cream on the neck adds a nice old fashioned touch. Great guys, very skilled and pleasant. Great hours also, including early morning opening times. read more

Mike and Kevin are awesome. I let either one cut my hair and it's consistent service every time.

Started school in the area. Love this place. Great service, amazing prices, and I always left satisfied with my haircut. Always got a great side part. read more

I will never go to another place after going here. Guys are great and give a great haircut!! Great new location too.

Mike and Kevin are excellent barbers, if you are looking for someplace new for a hair cut, this is it. I have been going to Mike for over 10 years now and would recommend him to anyone. Kevin is also highly skilled. $18 for a quality cut in a cool "classic" themed shop is a deal and a half. read more
