Another great haircut! This was my son's first haircut with Evan. He was friendly and patient, with a wiggly kid. Evan asked both my son and I what he wanted for a haircut and checked a few times throughout to ensure my son was getting the haircut he wanted. It came out great. One of the other barbers brushed and my four year old's hair because he heard her asking for a a haircut and had a few extra minutes. She was over the moon. The Original Barbershop is always comfortable and professional. All the gentlemen who work there are always friendly and classy. There's laughing and conversations that fill the air, but they're conscious that there are kids present and keeping it appropriate. I can't recommend it enough-we've personally had Miguel for the past 2-3 years and yesterday Evan. The other barbers seem to be just as professional and friendly providing great service. You can't go wrong. read more

I haven't gotten a haircut in a while and decided to rock a new look with long hair. I didn't have any idea what I wanted, but Jose helped me out. Came in for a haircut and beard trim. Nice staff that takes care. My only gripe is that he chopped off half my mustache. read more

Hubby and I have been going to the same barber in Salem for years. When we saw the reviews here, we thought we would give The Original Barber Shop a try. Glad we did. Evan and his team did a fantastic job and took time and effort to give us both fantastic cuts. My undercut rocks. The space is very clean and comfortable and modern. A space you would want to go to. Handicapped accessible as well. We will be back!! read more

Easy on line booking, great beard trim! 1st time visit, Pleasant group of guys, busy Saturday morning! Recommend Omar!

I had called a handful of Barbershops and special events companies to see who could travel their setup down to Boston for a wedding to groom and straight razor shave 10+ Groomsmen. Evan and his shop "The Original Barber Shop" was hands-down the best and most professional option. Evan and Anthony showed up the morning of the wedding with an incredible setup to give the groomsmen (and important men in the Groom's life) a straight razor shave and grooming for the wedding - all of the groomsmen were so impressed with not only the professional items and setup they brought - but of the service. During the wedding even the Bridesmaids were whispering "The groom is glowing...did he get a facial?!" Honestly, could not have been happier with the service - thank you Evan and The Original Barber Shop for making my brother's day so special! read more

If you are looking for a real barbershop then this is the place. All the services you would expect from a barber at reasonable prices. Unfortunately, due to the current situation, the beard trimming is not offered at this time and all reservations are done online. Need to wear a mask and wait outside until you are called for your appointment. The barbers know what they are doing and can do any cut you wish. Truly an old school barbershop experience with a current style twist. You will pay more for your cut then the chain locations(Supercuts, etc.). You get what you pay for. **** LOCATION IS CASH ONLY **** they do have an ATM onsite for your convenience. read more

Great Barber Shop!! Check it out!! Been in 3 times now and they have done a fantastic job each time. Highly recommend! read more

YAY! We found a barber shop that is closer to us that both BBB and the hub can go to! The shop is right off of 28 but not obviously visible on 28. It's on the left side of the visionworks building. You'll see the barber pole! Plenty of parking! There's a bathroom which is a plus especially just in case BBB needs to be changed! Comfy waiting chairs and sofa that BBB enjoyed. TVS equipped at each barber chair. Wifi is available too! We had Evan cutting BBBs hair and he looks so handsome! Just in time for Easter! Jeff cut the hubs hair and he looks like a new man! The barbers put so much attention to detail and time... Hence the 2 thumbs up from me! and the boys love their hair! Very friendly crew that welcomes all ages. We'll be back when we need another haircut! read more

This place did take a while before I got my haircut, but it was so worth it! My haircut turned out better than in the picture I showed. So waiting was totally worth it! read more

Best Barber shop I've ever been too. Any of the guys will take care of you. Cash only. Highly recommend.

I've been bald for about ten years now, but always enjoy hitting up a barber shop to get my head shaved and clean up my beard. It's hard to find a good solid shop that's comfortable and delivers a good experience. I have been to plenty of shops, and have had experiences across the spectrum. Saw the Yelp reviews for Evan and The Original Barber Shop and decided to stop by and check them out. I walked in to a beautiful, welcoming, clean shop, and was immediately greeted warmly by Evan. He asked if I had an appointment or if I was a walk in - I let him know I was just walking in but willing to wait. He checked around for open chairs - there weren't any, another good sign - and headed over to the computer to check the schedule. It was Friday at 2:30, so I knew it was going to be busy. He said he had a 5:30 spot if I didn't mind coming back, which I gladly accepted. He asked that if I couldn't make it to please call and let him know - thought that was a nice confirmation and showing while he appreciated the business, he needs all the open spots he can get. Once back Evan welcomed me to his chair and we spent the next 45 minutes chatting and laughing, while he went to work on cleaning me up. His attention to detail, his thoroughness, and the atmosphere, even the music, was excellent. If you're looking for a clean, solid, welcoming, comfortable shop this is the one to head to. Evan and his team will deliver! Looking forward to visiting regularly, thanks Evan! read more

Worst barbershop I have ever been to in my entire life I Call them and ask them if they could take a walk in due to a wake because my good childhood friend passed away. they said yeah you might have to wait about 10 to 20 minutes and I said that should be fine and they had me sitting there for two hours and 10 minutes and made me late to one of my good friends wakes and if they were upfront and honest with me I would of understood but they said they would have me in and out. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I walked out after two hours and 10 minutes of sitting there without a haircut and had to show up to a close friends wake without a proper haircut. read more

Got my first hair cut there recently. Was very happy with the professional , friendly and courteous barber who gave me the exact cut I was looking for. The place is spacious and clean. read more

Best barbershop around, friendly staff and great cuts. Highly recommend going here for any haircuts

I normally cut my own hair, but I was getting married so I actually needed a good cut. My best friend found this place because it's apparently the only one that also does shaves. We got there early on Saturday May 23rd and my friend went first. He just got a shave (he's bald). I got a shave and a cut, but the barber was very patient and wanted to do a good job, so it took him about 45 minutes. I have a tough beard and it was a lot of work. He was clearly not in a rush and really cared about doing a good job. Barber was chatty and did a fantastic job. Really a nice experience. read more

I travel around a lot, usually I always go back to the same few places that I know when I am home, but my beard was in need of a cleanup and I had an interview that would come before my customary trip to the barber when I got home. I looked online, called them up, and was told to just come in when I can. I arrived at the shop before closing time (as did many people after me). Come early if you can, there's a rush at closing time! Evan was great, he cleaned up my beard, did the head shave, took his time, and made great conversation. I will definitely be back!! read more

I've been going to the same "barber" shop for years. The only guy that was good in the place just quit. The other girls just didn't know to cut hair frankly. After searching online I tried this place. Don't be fooled by the place when you walk in the door. Nothing fancy. That said, they know how to give a real haircut!! For any guy out there that needs a real fade and wants someone to spend the time doing it right, don't go anywhere else. $18. Cash only. You can't beat it. Well worth it. I'm sold and will continue to return. read more

Went here because i work most days and it was just closer to my job. I read that walk ins are welcome (even have walk ins welcome in big font in the door) so i went in and they pretty much told me they cant take me because they are booked and for next time to use the app, mind you is my first time. false advertising? ‍ read more

I have been coming here for a while, had all the barbers at one point and they all do great all the time. Every one of them take pride in cutting your hair or beard. I always look forward to coming here for the highest quality. read more

Awesome place for men in wedding party to get a shave before the big event. Six of us got too-notch treatment from Evan and his team. I'd drive out of my way to do this again. read more

I generally think this place has a lot of potential but when I went there I found out that the workers don't listen to what you say and do not give you what you ask for read more

Great shop owned and operated by a true professional. I have been to most barbershops in the area and none of them have held up to The Original Barbershop. I can here and got a shave and a haircut from Evan for my wedding day and I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to give me a haircut on such an important day. The greatest compliment I can give this shop is that they consistently consistent at pumping out great haircuts! read more

I've been going here for two years, and I've had just about every barber at the shop at one time or another cut my hair. I've never gotten a bad cut- these guys are amazing. If you're in the Salem area and looking for a great barbershop, look no further. Oh and making appointments is super easy to book right through the app. read more

Had my 1st haircut at the shop today and it was awesome.. Wacho hooked me up with probably one of the best cuts I've ever had. These guys are artists the way the sculpt each and every customer.Will definitely be going back. Fun atmosphere, clean and friendly service. Great job guys. read more

fantastic prices awesome staff number one barber in or around town good at cutting hair

Went here looking for a comfortable place for a six year old boy to get a haircut. He has not enjoyed chain haircut places, so I went searching for a barber shop. This place was perfect! He loved going in and seeing all male staff and clients and was calm in the chair. The staff member was friendly, spoke to him like a person and made him feel grown up. I loved this experience! They are moving in February 2017, but be sure to look for them. I will be back! read more

I've been coming here for a bit for cuts and beard trims and have never been disappointed. Scheduling is easy with their app. Cuts are top notch. Prices are very reasonable. Atmosphere is great. Only drawback is sometimes the employees get a bit distracted, but that's part of the barbershop experience, I suppose! Highly recommended! read more

Evan has been the original barber in Salem for years. We don't live in town anymore but still make the drive for a masterful fade and beard trim read more

Nothing but good things to say about this place. I've had 4, FOUR different people cut my hair in a row here and I've had the same result each time over the last 4 months - a hair cut and shave exactly the way I want it. Not your average barber shop. Reasonably priced, friendly staff, comfortable setting. New go-to for me. Cash only. read more

Great place to stop and get a shave/haircut. Went with a large party before my wedding and had a great time.

I just moved to the area, and I was looking forward to finding a local barber. Walked in around noon, and the place seemed busy but not crazy. Upon entering, a guy walked over yelling, "don't worry, I'll take care of it" - clearly inconvenienced. I asked how much a men's cut was, and on learning $25 (which seems normal for the area), I told him I'd need to hit an ATM as he didn't appear to take cards (and I wanted to leave a reasonable tip - again, trying to establish a permanent barber). His brusque response: "yeah, there's an ATM right over there." Fine, I could work with that. The next opening was at 2 PM, which was fair, so I said I'd take it...and then things just got weird. He asked, in a pretty nasty way, "are you really gonna take it, or are you going to leave and not come back?" I said I would take it, and he said, "no, really, are you going to take it?" At that point, completely aggravated with the whole experience, I told him I didn't want the cut and just walked out. I'm sure this place is fantastic, and the guy may have had a miserable day, but the whole encounter was absolutely ridiculous. I'd rather take my business where it will be appreciated. read more
