The first time,…read morehe was a bit of a talker, so I brought a book this time - for some reason, I just don't like talking when I'm getting my haircut. I told him I just wanted to read my book. He was extremely respectful and got the job done. No frills. Just an extremely efficient and attentive barber who knows what he's doing. $40 haircut. I tipped 20%; looking forward to the next time I come back.

Definitely pricier than what I expected seeing two out of for $ signs on Yelp, but also very much…read moreworth it. I've been to some high end Barber Shops like Roosters and Bostonian and I must say this one is definitely in the same league. While Bostonian's charme is in the barbers' entertaining manly dirty talk and Roosters is known for its luxurious, formal appearance of shop and employees, IMHO, this shop strikes the golden middle between the two. Peter, the manager / main barber, is a master of his art, took 1.5h for my first visit, 1h after opening hours, on a Sunday, and created one of the best beard and hair looks I ever had. Including a greatly honest consultation, talking me out of my idea to grow my hair shoulders long based on my hair structure and what would look good on me. he had a nice collection of photos from his Instagram profile which greatly helped us navigate our style planning and the outcome was even better than I expected. The "Peter Haircut" costs $40, the "Peter Beard Cut" costs $20, including hair wash, products for hair and beard, hot towel procedure, and styling.

Since Sal's complained to Yelp that my wife wrote a review and it was a "second hand perspective"…read moreand removed it.. here I am writing it myself. Read all of the negative reviews. They're accurate. My son and I have been here once for a haircut and it was uneven and not cut properly. I showed up again this past week to give them another chance. I was a few (3) minutes late for his appointment. I was told "I'm running a business here you're late". And was given a HUGE attitude through the entire cut. I was uncomfortable enough that I was considering getting up and walking out at that moment. I'm not confrontational, so I stayed for the cut. Tipped $2 which the barber didn't even deserve and then left. You won't be running a business for long if you treat customers like this. There are much better options in the area. Don't go here. You've been warned.

The last time we were in the wife was giving a man a manicure. I have never seen a woman getting services here - I think they market themselves as an old-fashioned men's barber shop. (A listing on the Newton Patch says they do color also, but I have only seen other customers getting cuts.) Since my son's hair is so thick, we are happy to have found someone who does a good job with it.
