Unfortunately, that illusion came crashing down once Stacy started cutting my hair. Within the first minute it was obvious that she doesn't know what she's doing. I should have left and finished the cut somewhere else. I was thinking, "She cuts hair all the time, how bad could it turn out? If it was really that bad, she'd be let go by now." Wrong. It was that bad. Stacy at the clipper shop subjected me to a completely uneven cut with the bangs bizarrely trimmed shorter than the rest... If this professional hairdresser were to use a bowl, it would be an improvement to her technique.

She took a huge chunk out of my hair with a clipper by accident and tried to play it off like it was intentional. Not only is Stacy's level of skill far below what is appropriate for someone cutting other people's hair, she completely lacks any honesty or accountability. Don't come here.

We recently moved to the area, and were looking for new barbers for my twin boys (who like opposite…read morestyles). One is very clean cut, but the other prefers long hair. They really don't care about much, as far as appearance goes... but they are particular about their hair (12 y/o). My one son likes (not sure if I'm saying this correctly) a fade with textured fringe. The other one liked long hair, before discovering the mullet. Went to Joe for fade style, and Doug for mullet. They both treated the boys like clients.. asked exactly what they wanted... made sure they got it. It was nice they listened to them. Never seen barbers (or honestly the $120+ stylists I pay for my daughter and I) spend that much time and care/concern to make sure their client gets exactly what they want. The $ is more than I had been paying prior, but way offset by the quality. They scissor cut both boys hair..lots of time and detail. Very precision cuts, to make sure they got exactly what they wanted. They are very happy! Pretty sure my husband will be heading in next.

Found myself in need of a cut while visiting family in Beverly. Went to Yelp for help and narrowed…read moreit down to three places and Classic Cuts had availability. Made reservation online and blindly selected one of three available barbers (John G). He didn't have a photo but there was a barber shop pole next to his name so made sense. What I found it was it was his first day at this shop with many years experience prior to coming here. I reserved, paid and tipped online so it was super convenient. I was greeted on arrival by all three barbers. All friendly. Place was clean, had off street parking and located in residential section of City for the most part. I was sat right away and John chatted me up. I get a fairly standard razor cut with 3 on top and 1 on the side. Cut came out perfect and he did a straight razor on edges. All employees and customers had masks on and place felt clean and safe. Other male barber engaged me in convo on music with some local insights so I had a nice visit. Check this place out when you're in town or if you live there. Priced reasonably and John did exactly what I asked for and even trimmed the eyebrows. (Yeah I'm that creepy old dude with bushy eyebrows) Didn't get any pics because I was in the zone and got on and out in under 20 minutes.

Until today, I wasn't too picky about where I went for a haircut. Generally, I'd get a buzz and be…read morein and out in like 10 minutes. But today was different. I usually don't have a beard but for 8 weeks I let one grow. Finally, I'd had enough and wanted to see my soft, baby-face again so I had to seek out an actual barbershop. I searched Yelp for places in the area and, after a little more research, found I liked the website of Classic Cuts. I walked in and they took me fairly quickly. I have to be honest, I never got a shave from a girl before so when the girl there took me, I was really interested to see if she would destroy any lingering notions I had regarding, "shaves are a thing of male barbers." Well, she did... and with flying colors. Buzzing hair might seem like a no-brainer but it's not. I use 2 different depths and if they don't get the fade/part/line right, even a buzz can look awkward, but she was really good with the buzzer (sounds like a gameshow, huh?) and I was really happy with it. When it came time to shave, it was, honestly, one of the best experiences I've ever had in a barbershop. After a quick buzz of the major foliage, I pretty much got to just lie back, close my eyes, and feel what remained of 8 weeks of undergrowth being delicately, and expertly, whisked away. I wish I remembered her name, but whoever she was, she handled the razor with great skill and care and after the first few scrapes, I just relaxed and almost went to sleep. ;) Every, so often, she would put a hot towel on my face to reheat it and loosen up the pores. And she took great care in the sensitive areas like the corners of the mouth and around the edges of the nostrils. At the end, a colder towel was applied to tighten up the pores and an after-shave (optional) was applied. Cut was $14 and Shave was $16 - Total $30. It is TOTALLY worth it. Even though guys can just shave their own faces for free, I strongly recommend every guy should try this at least once. It's like 20-30 minutes of mini-pampering but it's not the floofy spa kind of pampering so you won't feel as if your manhood is being threatened. You'll feel more like Tony Soprano afterwoods. ;) Ok, all the other stuff, like the parking lot, etc, is just fine and doesn't need to be covered here. Great cut, great shave, friendly personalities, very professional, and I'd recommend strongly to ANYONE --- even the "Bearded Lady" from the Topsfield Fair. ;)

The way he approaches each haircut is like watching an artist completely absorbed in their craft. You can see how much he loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. I've been bringing my son to Eric for a few years now, and despite living almost an hour away in NH, we happily make the drive to Tewksbury, MA because he is worth it every single time. Eric always remembers exactly what my son likes, and on top of delivering a perfect cut, he makes a personal connection that leaves my son walking out smiling and confident. It's rare to find someone so passionate and consistent in their work. Eric truly cares about his clients, and his dedication shines through in every cut. I can't say enough good things about him--if you're looking for more than just a haircut, but an experience that makes you feel your best, Eric is the one.

After trying a few of the barbers, we learned that Leopold is our favorite and does the best job for us. --Barber recommended: Leopold-- One of my kids always got a fine haircut anywhere we went, but the other has had quite a few weird cuts by professional stylists. I don't know why. Maybe his hair grows in a particularly unusual way? Try LEOPOLD if you, too, have hard-to-cut hair and have suffered elsewhere. --Location & good service-- Anyway, I can't say enough good things about this convenient location and its nice, professional employees. Prior to the pandemic, we would just walk in. After its pandemic reopening, the policy switched to appointment only to reduce crowding. I actually prefer a booked appointment since I dislike waiting, so this worked fine for my family. --COVID specific concern-- Right now, in October 2021, however, we have to find a new barbershop. Though Yelp still lists "masks required" and "staff wear masks" for Montserrat Barber Shop, this was no longer true when my husband went in for a cut last month. Some people in the shop wore masks, but it was clearly now optional as others were bare-faced. (I sincerely hope based upon vaccination status, but my husband did not ask this question.) If you are vaccinated and comfortable to be face-to-face with others indoors without masks, I still recommend this shop. If you are at very high risk for COVID-19 complications in spite of being vaccinated--like a member of our household--hold off on visiting Montserrat Barber Shop until this delta variant surge ends. Since Salem enacted a universal indoor mask mandate, we will search for a temporary hair salon option there (though I sincerely hate setting foot in Salem during the month of October.) As an aside, I wish Yelp and other review sites were more proactive about keeping these vital stats updated. These services offer far less value when facts change and listings go out-of-date.
