"Vicious" dog (NO, not really) sometimes there as well, which I consider a plus. I first went to this shop years ago after I attempted to get a trim from a barber in Falmouth.

I have never heard or experienced any anti-gay/LGBTQ language or behavior from anyone at Momentum. But the people claiming to have heard anti-LGBTQ language are people who just happened to stop in for the first time? That's really weird. I mean, how is it that a straight guy like me, who is in the shop every few weeks, has never heard discriminatory language there, but someone who is there once is convinced that this place is a cesspool of hateful language and behavior? To me, this seems like an extortion tactic from someone who wants to sell "reputation cleanup" services or some other scam. I always love my cuts at Momentum. Scheduling appointments is easy. Barbers work on time and do great work. Anyone trying to take down this shop or its excellent barbers can pound sand.
