Needed a haircut badly and didn't have time to make appointment where I'd normally go. My dad has gotten his men's regular a few times here when he stays with us, so thought it was worth a shot. They were able to take my walk in quickly and did a great job. Best cut I've had in a while. Barber was on point. Clean place with good music and friendly staff. I will be back. read more

Young barber gave me a great cut. Sign says walk ins welcome, but online says apt required? No apt made, so I get the new kid which is fine, but, inside sign says $13 for seniors, which I am, , but was charged $20. "Old prices" i was told.Not sure if I was charged for eyebrow trim? Huh? That isn't part of a hair cut now?I expect to pay $20 for a hair cut. That would $13 for cut+$7 tip. Felt kinda bad for the kid and left a $2 tip only. If that doesn't work for the shop, I go elsewhere for my next cut. I'm not cheap, but, the discrepancy bugs me. read more

Walked in looking for a quick haircut after seeing a "walk-ins welcome" sign. Sat down and was the "next" customer as 3 were being served in chairs with 3 barbers. The person I was told was going to do my cut had a 16 year old in the chair with what looked like a 95% finished cut. Figured 5-10 mins tops. 45 mins goes by and the dude is still "buzzing" the back of the 16 year old's head In i swear to GOD no exaggeration, nearly the same spot for 45 mins and still going. The other barbers had finished at about the 30-40 min mark, then a dude walks in and goes directly into the vacant chair. At that point, 45 mins of sitting watching a 16 year old get buzzed in the same spot I am told 2 of the 3 guys only do cuts by appointment. Now I am guessing since the eternal buzz is still going and he was going to be my barber I assume I would need another hour plus to wait so I left. Never seen anything like it In 35 years of going to barbers. Im sure some of them do a good job, but a good standard cut shouldn't take more then 15 mins, if it's taking an hour of buzzing in one spot you can be sure he doesn't know what he's doing. The back of the poor kid's head was beat red when I left. Won't be back ever. I wasn't even mad, it was more comical seeing somebody use electric shavers for nearly an hour on the back of a head and there wasn't any design or anything. If you want a cut in under 2 hours, don't go here! read more

The owner is meticulous with every hair cut he gives me. He pays attention to details, my fades are always on point, my line ups are always crisp. I have moved to different towns from south shore, to Boston, to the north shore over the past five years; I always end up traveling to Upper Echelon because their attention to detail makes them the best at their craft. They are versatile: I have had ceasars, frohawk, burst fade, fade, flat top, gotee, and now full beard: I always am very pleased and get many compliments on all of my cuts from Upper Echelon barbershop. All of the barbers who work there are held to the same highest standard. This is the place to go! read more
