Went in a for kids haircut and pretty disappointed. The length is uneven and they didn't even do a good job making a clean line in the back. read more

Was in a pinch for a haircut. Got an appointment the day of. Got a mid bald fade and Pat killed it! Definitely passed the vibe check and plenty of parking. Will definitely book another appointment. read more

Superior Image Barbershop is great. All the barbers here do a good job, parking is easy, the place is nice and relaxed.

Came here after coming home from college and showed the barber an image of a haircut I got before that I wanted again. He proceeded to ask some questions and I told him I wanted the middle part length to be somewhere between my eyebrows and bottom of my eyes. Attached are the image I showed him and an image of the resulting cut. I understand that people have bad days occasionally and don't give a great cut but this wasn't even remotely close to what I wanted. He took the bangs and chopped them this short immediately so it's not like I could even tell him to stop. read more

See all

Have been going to Pat and Superior Image for a while now, great place, great people and always leave with a great haircut. 5/5 stars, i recommend giving Pat a go at it even though all the barbers there give a sweet cut, you won't be disappointed! read more

Place is simple and awesome! Came in as a walk-in around 2:30pm on a weekday (if you visit their website you can schedule ahead of time). No line and multiple barbers available. Very clean and comfortable atmosphere. Pat took care of me. Good convo and great cut. Even did a straight razor shave on the neckline in back. Only downside is it's cash only but that's just a minor inconvenience. Just moved here from Seattle so I'm glad to have now found my "go-to" barber! Must give this place a try if you're looking for a real barber with great price! read more

If you are reading this review, chances are... you were me a few months ago, searching through the many barber shop options on Yelp for something new. I found Superior Image and listened to the many who wrote all the great reviews before me and booked. What I have learned is regardless of who you book, or walk in and end up with, you are going to get a great experience and great haircut. Its clear this team cares about their business and have created a great welcoming environment for their customers. As a bonus, they also have a quick seamless way to book appointments through their website that is very smartphone friendly, it literally takes a couple of seconds to see pricing, availability, and then its just a click to book. Save yourself some time and stop surfing for a place, just go to their website and book with someone at Superior.. you will be a customer for life. read more

Just got my haircut here, and my son got his on Tuesday. After numerous bad experiences with Supercuts(I know, I didn't expect much and was still disappointed) I decided to give a local barbershop in my city a go. I will absolutely be a regular here now. Best haircut I've ever had. read more

Great shop. Great haircut. Great conversation. Will be in my barbershop rotation when I'm in town.

I've been trying to be more careful handing out 5-star reviews, but these guys deserve it for a few reasons: 1) They finish off your neckline with a straight razor. That alone almost always gets you 5 stars in my book. 2) Quality haircut for $15. 3) Nice balance between old fashioned barbershop and mildly trendy (very mildly, but in a good way) barbershop. And this is Melrose trendy, not Newbury Street trendy (again, in a very good way.) 4) I have one kinky sideburn. No, not THAT kind of kinky. Just one where the hair grows in weird. It's a pain in the ass, and I'm uber OCD about it. I usually won't even let barbers touch them because if anything goes wrong, I'd rather know that I'm the one who screwed it up, not them. These guys managed to trim it down just right without cutting it too short. I cannot underscore how important this is to me. I was seriously impressed. read more

Great barbershop. Chris is a perfectionist. Awesome atmosphere as well. Highly recommended

There is no better place in the Melrose, Stoneham, Wakefield, Saugus, Malden area to get a haircut. Chris and Jason are true professionals and they have built a shop that is at once, hip & trendy while remaining very "neighborhood-ish" and welcoming. Sit back and relax, have some great conversation or watch a movie, as there is always something fun to watch on the TV overhead (think Fast and Furious or Captain America for example). Watch for the holidays when Chris and Jason have been known to don a Halloween costume or sport a Santa hat. I love the sense of community they have fostered in the shop and the dedication to the area. OH.... and they are really talented barbers. They know exactly what to do to help you look your best until next your next visit. read more

Superior Image is a great barber shop. I've been going there weekly for the past year and a half and I refuse to go anywhere else. Chris and Brendan are both great at what they do. I've never left feeling like I got a bad haircut. It's a friendly atmosphere and many of the same faces are there week after week. 5 stars is well deserved. Best cuts around. read more

This place was great! I went as a result of the Yelp reviews. All spot on. Staff was welcoming, very conversational, and made sure my hair was exactly as I wanted it. They squeezed me in due to a late client, so I recommend you get an appointment. The beard work was phenomenal. All the right tools and techniques to tackle my 2 year old beard. Wish I had this place in Milwaukee! read more

This is my go to spot when it comes to haircuts. Superior image has a professional staff that always engage you in humorous conversation and make the cut fly by. A fun environment where everyone knows your name and walk ins are welcomed. Even if there is a line the barbers are quick and precise, they will get you looking fresh in no time. I honestly dont mind waiting because they usually have a cool movie playing. Or I can grab a bite to eat at one of the shops in the plaza. Great prices, quick service and a convenient location with plenty of parking allow me to rate this barber shop 5/5. A definitely go to pick for Melrose. read more

I live in Wakefield and want to find a good barber for a haircut. This place and the people there are fantastic! Derrick is very skillful and took a good care of my hair. Clean and nice environment, friendly people, reasonable price, and easy to park the car. Will definitely go again. Awesome for Asian hair. read more

needed to find someplace new to get a haircut. I saw that Superior Image had moved to their new location and decided to give them a try. Adrianna ended up being the person to cut my hair. I am very particular in the way I want my hair cut, she listened and came thru with flying colors! She did a wonderful job and now has a new customer! read more

Today was my second time at Superior Image and it has been a great experience. The shop is clean, the staff is professional and they can execute what's described. I look forward to making this my go to spot! read more

Best barbershop in New England. I can confidently say that after moving from MA to NH and trying out different spots, I now make the drive to see Chris and his crew. Because it's worth it. Don't chance your cut anywhere else! read more

I've been bringing my two teenage sons to this place for a couple years now. The owners are super nice. For whatever reason we time it right and they are never really more than 2 or 3 people deep in the waiting process. I find the prices really reasonable, and my kids have made them work over the years. They will cut it one way and if you don't like it they will try something different for you. The owner(s)? are super nice and if you happen to go there on a saturday there is a good chance that Jurassic Park will be on the TV or some other kid friendly movie. They are located in the Whole Foods plaza in Melrose and convenient to Liberty Bell which is never a bad thing. Parking is never a problem, and you can drop off your dry cleaning if that's what you want to do. What am I trying to say here ? I'm saying try Superior Image Barbershop, in a day and age where small businesses are getting gobbled up and pushed out, these guys haven't forgotten what this country was founded on, good business, fair prices, smiles and good conversation.... Keep up the image Guys !!! Oh one last note, the whole building facade is being done over, so the store itself looks as if they are boarded up and closed. Make no mistake about it, this place is open and this is out of their hands. read more

Being new to the area one of the first things I had to do was find a good barber. I found this place while shopping at the food master. I figured I'm in a new town, time for a new doo'. One of the owners Chris made some suggestions and started clipping, next thing I knew I went from a regular mens I've had for 10 years to looking like one of those guys in GQ. I've been returning every two weeks ever since. I'll bring my little nephew in and the barbers know how to treat a kid too! Wait time is reasonable and they get you on your way quick, but only after a hot lather and straight edge line up which I love. Keep up the good work guys! read more

Everybody at this place is a phenomenal barber. The ownership is great! I always have a fun time when I am there and they do a pretty good job of getting people in and out in a timely fashion. At the same time, they spend the right amount of time on you and your needs. Adriana has been my recent Barber because she knows how to handle my lettuce Place is clean price is right and all the barbers are great at what they do Griff read more

Been going to Superior for 5 yrs now. Chris and his staff are extremely talented. They take their time with each customer instead of rushing like other places I previously visited. Chris is excellent with kids, he's my 8 y/o favorite barber and has been getting his haircuts there since he was 3. They also have a great selection of hair products to make our ugly mugs look even better after the cut. Would definitely recommend Superior Image, because well, they're SUPERIOR read more

After few research & reading reviews here in Yelp, I found Superior Image Barbershop near to my home. First impression talking over the phone with one of the owner 'Chris' was welcoming & friendly. After I walked in 'Brendan' helped to give a fresh cut. He is absolutely awesome in hair styling and respectful to customers time. This is a place to go for any hair cut. Thanks & will see soon :) read more

I gave this a try.... I'd rather go to Walgreens, grab a razor and do it myself. Went in for a shave and beard trim... Didn't like it.. Was very uneven when I noticed it in the rear view mirror... Lots of distractions in there with guys just sitting there hanging out... I think this is the problem.. Looks like another guy on here had a similar experience.. Though mine wasn't that bad... read more

My new goto barber shop now that I moved from Southie to Stoneham..$15 cuts for men, owners are cool, nice relaxing place. Usually little to no wait, quick and professional cut. Would recommend to anyone is the area especially if you don't want to wait and hour like some other barber shops in Melrose. read more

Fantastic barbershop! I look for two things in a shop: good atmosphere/ conversation & a great cut. This guys are great. I'm not sure where the other reviewer went, but NO LADIES WORK HERE. It's a clean, classy spot. The guy who cuts my hair takes his time and is meticulous and makes sure he gives me the cut I want. He uses a straight razor to give me a nice finish. The hair is always faded in nicely. They use scissors nicely and aren't just a cheap chop shop! The barbers are nice to talk to and aren't young punks or old cranks. A GREAT barbershop with a great crew! I travel 30 minutes to enjoy a cut from this shop. Easily 5 stars. read more

Was looking for a place to get a haircut....friend of mine recommended this place....when I arrived was able to get into the chair immediately....they weren't busy....extremely pleased with my haircut....took the time to do a good job....made sure that I was pleased before he finished....used warm cream and a straight edge to clean up the back of my neck.....also splashed some aftershave on the area...nice touch....oh and also trimmed my eyebrows...that was cool...charged $18.00 dollars...that was a little pricey but the results and the services made it worth it....will definitely come back whenever I need a haircut....as a matter of fact...just found my new barber....whenever I come to visit the family....would also recommend this place to friend..... read more

I'm very, very happy with my haircut. Went in for the first time the other night & immediately felt welcome. The guys are friendly and laid back, but most importantly they did a fantastic job cutting my hair. I've gotten multiple compliments on it & it's only been 2 days. Their prices are great too. I will definitely go back next time I need a haircut. read more

Got my haircut from Mike. I think he is new to this barbershop. Got the best haircut of my life from him. He has got some really good skills in crew cut with gradual fade. Will be getting my haircut from him for as long as I am in Massachusetts. read more

All I ask for from a barber is an eye for detail. These guys are right on point. I am very particular with the way my hair is cut and I feel good every time I walk out. I don't want to tell my barber how to cut my hair. They just know and make suggestions along the way. My thick beard is always clean and shaped to fit my face. It feels good to be complimented on my haircut. I can confidently refer friends, family and clients to these guys any day of the week! read more

Superior Image is the new age of local suburban barber shops. Good prices, a casual setting, and a damn good haircut. I hold off on haircuts around my university and my first stop back home is to S.I. and it is well worth it. Go in looking like a scrub, leave looking like a gentleman. Tucked in the back of Towers Plaza, this barbershop is definitely worth finding. read more

When it comes to barbershops in Melrose, Superior Image is the cream of the crop. Not only do they deliver perfection in the form of a haircut every single time, their commitment to customers is unprecedented. One time Adrianna literally drove me home after a haircut. The owner, Chris, I personally consider to be an inspiration in my own life and I look to him as a mentor, spiritual guide, and father figure. read more

My first experience has now been my 7th experience with this place. Great guys giving great haircuts. Highly recommend this this place as you will not be disappointed. read more

After 10+ years of going with the Mr. Clean do, decided to let my (receding) hair grow back just a touch. In need of a trim, so this was my first visit to a barbershop in more than a decade. Glad this is the place I came -- Great atmosphere, fair price and Chris did a bang up job! I'll definitely be back!! read more

The best haircut you can get for $15 in the Melrose, Malden, Wakefield, Stoneham area. I live in South Boston and still go there for cuts

This is by far the best barbershop I've ever been to. Haircuts are always great. Staff is always friendly. You are greeted by your name when you walk through the door. Would recommend this place to anyone. They are exceptionally great with little kids as well. read more

Came here based on the reviews. All I wanted was a shave and a Goatee trim. I got the absolute worst shave from this woman that worked there.... Though she was very nice, I don't think she had much experience shaving men. I told her what I wanted, got the opposite, and no where near what I wanted. So I told her again what I wanted. While in the chair, I heard the words "Oh this side has to grow in a bit" - I thought OMG! What in the world could she mean... Low and behold - my nightmare came true. She shaved off the left side of the Goatee completely and left me with the right side neatly trimmed... I'm like, Oh NOOOoooooOO! And the right side of my mustache was so uneven compared to the left.... I immediately went home and shaved everything off... Would not go back there! read more

If you are looking for a good haircut and some good old fashioned barbershop mirth and merriment...Superior Image is the place to go in Melrose. Chris and Brendon keep the conversation light and Point Break on a loop in the background. The prices are right and they care enough to give Veterans and seniors a discount. Really good guys so give them a shot. If you are looking for a little more intellectual stimulus, wait for Brendon. For a Millennial, he is really well informed and can actually carry on a serious conversation. These guys are sensitive to the clientele so keep the movies and the conversation kid appropriate when they are in the shop. read more
