I’d been a regular returning customer here. Always tipping well because these guys were good and friendly.. I had an appointment and was approximately 17 minutes late because of extraneous factors. They have a hard and fast policy that if you’re more than 15 minutes late then the appointment is non refundable. It’s their time, I get it… But do they think I didn’t try to get there on time? It’s my time as well that I took away from an important obligation. They’ll be as friendly as can be and you can return as many times as you want, but if you’re 15 minutes late once, they’ll treat you like you’re just a wallet. Nothing more. A reasonable policy would be based on customer loyalty or something sensical like that. But no - everyone’s really just a bag of money. So to the Bostonian Barbers, just because you made a policy, and made it clear, doesn’t mean it’s fair to your customers. And don’t say you’re sorry because you’re not. I’m disappointed and disheartened to be treated this way.

Best shop in the city. Super professional and accommodating. You can go to any barber and get a great cut. Shout out to Bobby Nolan Dave eddy and billy. All awesome guys in there who always provide a great service and experience.

Pretty good clean cuts. Inviting place for sure. Be careful tho if you try to reschedule theyll probably cry themself to sleep and charge your card twice.

Roy is seriously the best barber in Boston! Listen, if you want a killer haircut look no further. Everyone at the shop can slay haircuts. That is like unheard of. The guys are super nice, the vibe is always right, and the shop is super clean. Customer for life right here. (LGBTQ+ friendly)

I have to say.. Ive been cutting my hair and trimming my beard with David for more than 3 years. He is fantastic... He is my favorite barber of all time. However, this review is not about him as he wasnt available this week... So I selected the book with any professional on Friday. I was booked with Nolan for a haircut on Tuesday at 2:15pm.As always, I showed up on time. But Nolan was still working on another customer. So I waited for 15 minutes past my appointment time. He did not take an interest in explaining to me how much longer I should expect to wait (or at least to politely apologize for making me wait). So I explained that I have to be out of the shop in the next 35-40min (this was 15min past my appointment time... the appointment was a 30min haircut!). Nolans response was that it is impossible to get me out in the next 35min, so he canceled the appointment and refunded me the $41.67 (but of course not the $50+ in uber raids to/from the barbershop)...This was a complete waste of time and money... A very unfortunate experience..Note: if you provide them with feedback, they’ll ask you to find another barbershop moving forward. I guess I’ll deduct another star for the excellent customer service.Edit: I said to Nolan I’ll have to head out in 35-40min.. multiple times.. not the 20-25 in their response to this review. Also, I was clear about them refunding me the $41.67.. they did not refund me for Ubering from/to the shop or wasting the 1.5hr I budgeted for this whole enterprise.

Awesome spot. The guys are talented. Roy nailed it!

The best barbershop you can find in the town. Very professional and knows what you want.S/O to Roy for giving a decent cut.

Routinely get my hair cut here by Nolan. Great place and great dudes.

Charged me in full for a haircut I never got. They refused to cut my hair because I showed up two minutes after my appointment time due to being locked out of my car. Severely disappointed with my first experience here and will not be coming back. Careful booking here they might just charge you anyways.

The place is clean and professional, the staff is clearly experienced and knowledgeable and the service is stellar. My haircut is simple but for the first time, this simple haircut came out looking good.They follow COVID guidelines closely which is great to see and my barber managed to clean up a bit around my beard without taking off my mask and making a line I could follow at home. Since this is my first time growing one, I really appreciate the help!I forgot the name of my barber but from what I can tell by the other customers around me, the excellent service is the norm for this establishment. I fully intend on coming back confident that Ill receive a quality haircut (and hopefully in the future, a beard trim) from any one of their barbers.

Highly reccomended barber shop, Roy is 5 outta 5. You will most likely feel like a newborn. You: New Cut who dis, type of vibe.

Found my new barber shop in the Boston area! Eddy did an awesome job and I will be seeing him every few weeks from now on.

Just chopped more than 12 inches with David. First time in a barbershop and he gave me the cut I wanted. Never felt more confident !! Thank you.

Been getting my hair cut by Nolan here for a while now. Always does a great job

Dave is the best barber in Boston, and it’s not even close

Billy gave good vibes from the minute I walked in. Good music playing, first bump. AMAZING CUT. Best cut I’ve ever had.

So it’s not the worse place on earth, but also not the super best. When I came over there, they asked me to wait outside, which was a little exhausting under the sun. When they cut my hair, it did look really nice, but when I came home and took a shower, I realized that my hair is asymmetric and that there’s a quite a big portion that points out and makes my hair look weird. It can be hidden by only styling my hair on one side, which is kind of limiting. I tried to make another appointment to fix it, but the system wanted me to pay another 50$, which didn’t worth it.I also asked for fades, and got to admit, they do look good! They definitely know how to make good fades, but at the point where there supposed to be a bald skin, they left it just trimmed down by a trimmer, and not a razor, making it feel weird. As if the fades reach that bald portion and then the short hair is back right away.I’d give 3.5 stars if I could, because I did get the hair style I wanted. It’s just that the barber had a messy work and left a huge portion that sticked out and made my hair look weird and amateur-cut looking. It just didn’t really feel like it worth 50$

Great people and really talented too

I highly recommend Nate! Ive been cutting with Nate for years and he consistently delivers a masterful cut and is always kind and personable! Bostonian Barber Shop is great as well, I always enjoy the atmosphere and having a joke or two with the guys! Its a bit pricey but its worth it!

This place is amazing. The staff is so friendly and professional. Nate took care of me today. He is a TRUE MASTER. He did a fantastic job. He gave me a very classy and delicate haircut. I advise Bostonians to choose this place.

I really like this Barber Shop. Great atmosphere. I’ve had Nate and Eddy cut my hair, both have done a great job.

My favorite shop in the city. Professional crew, good atmosphere, and high quality bar.

Nate Barnes has been my barber for a few years now and does great job. Great to have them open again as Mass starts reopening again during Covid19 outbreak. Now they offer and require appointments and masks to be worn while still under the state requirements. See their website to book. Everyone there was adhering to the state guidelines. Stations were wiped down between appointments and PPE was used by all the barbers.

Great place the guys are supper great. They take the time to talk and do an amazing job

What a Barber Shop should be. Was very happy to be back in there after the COVID lockdown. Nolan is my guy but if your waiting on next available you’ll be fine. Like the appointment software they’re using now. Saves time.I’ve seen them handle all types of cuts extremely well. I get a skin fade and have never been let down. They do great work on beards as well although I’m not sure they’re allowed to do beards right now with COVID regulations.

Bobby gives the best fades in the city

Great vibe, good haircutA little on the pricier side and haircuts take a little longer than I’ve been used to in the past but that’s because of their attention to detail.

Sweet place. Clean and professional. Ask for Ryan .

Bobby Orr did an amazing job! This place has a cool vibe, stylish barbers, and make you feel at home. Good conversations going on in the shop as well as in the chair. All walk-in cuts. I hear there is sometimes long waits but I sat down immediately. Thanks Bobby!

Eddy did a great job.

This review is a long time coming…I have had the pleasure of getting my hair cut @ Bostonian Barber Shop 4 times now (in a row at that too). To name drop the barbers I’ve had (in order of seeing them), Chris (twice), Bobby, and Packer. Thank you to each of you for making me feel confident as I leave the shop.As a member of the LGBTQ community I have felt comfortable every time I have gotten my hair cut. Trust me, it’s rare to feel comfortable as a woman in a barber shop when you have short hair. After 6 years of searching for a barber shop that A. did a good job & B. made me feel comfortable, I have found the one.You might think this place is expensive but for me, I truly feel it is worth it. Also, with a walk in schedule, IT CAN GET BUSY… but these guys are good and again, they are worth it. I never feel they rush, even when the place is packed with people.Thank you Bostonian Barber Shop!

Excellent service, fair price, good social distancing and cleaning! Will go back!

Best haircut ever, but youll have to pay for it. Think what you want to pay and double it. Staff is friendly enough. Service is good. Forgot my cell in the chair and my barber alerted me as I was walking away.

Its fairly expensive, but the guys that give you a haircut know how to do so. I was torn between A 4 and A 5 star rating because well I love my hair cut sometimes the guys distract them self with their comments and playful banter to the point that it seems like they forget that theyre there to cut your hair. I love the fun they have at work but sometimes I just want my haircut. Overall I chose a five because I like the vibe most times, when they dont go overboard and I always get a good cut and shave.

I went to Bostonian Barber Shop for the first time yesterday. I went in and chose to have my hair cut by the first available barber. Chris cut my hair and I told him that I wanted something new and stylish and that he could do whatever he thought would look good. He did his thing and it turned out amazing.I love the haircut, the price is reasonable, and the service is top notch. Ive found my new regular barber. Highly recommend.

Very late review but I wanted to make sure I gave credit where it was due. As a female that prefers to fade her hair, I can be quite hesitant about trying new barbershops. I came about a month ago and Ryan was awesome. Made me feel comfortable and overall gave me a great cut. Will be going back...on Wednesday lol.Also great music selection 🙏🏼

Decided to try this place on a whim. The amount of time and attention to detail on my haircut and beard trim was incredible. This is how all visits to a barbershop should be. It may not be the cheapest haircut you can get, but it is by far the best. Nate did a phenomenal job, and I cant wait to go back. Highly recommended.

One of the best barber shops in massachusetts

Friendly staff. Great cut.

This place needs to improve on customer service. I will admit that part of the reason why I waited for nearly an 1.5 hrs for a haircut was because I selected a specific barber as opposed to the next in line option. I unknowingly committed this mistake as it was my first time at the shop. However, none of the barbers took interest in asking why I had been waiting for so long when it was evident other customers, who came in after me, were being serviced. When I finally asked why others were being prioritized, the barber I spoke to (barber #1) didnt even offer to investigate/resolve the issue. He just said I dont know man. It wasnt until another barber, who I assume is the manager, came in and helped update my queue status in the system, that my situation was addressed.Things that I observed while waiting for such a long period of time:1) The two barbers who sit closest to the register do nothing but badmouth customers once they walk out the door.2) Barber #1 refusing to attend a customer for asking his hair to be cut using a specific technique. I do not necessarily disagree with the barber saying no when the customer wasnt open to the barbers creative input. The thing I disagree with was how barber #1 mocked the customer for his request in a manner that was so evident to everyone in the store (literally yelled it). You are in a service industry, I do not know if you realize this, but the customer is to be treated with respect.3) Barber #1 not paying attention or showing any interest at another customer he serviced. The customer was simply communicating to the barber what he wanted, and barber #1 was literally doing everything in his power not to pay attention to the customer or what he was saying (staring out the window, etc)4) Barber #1 mocking multiple customers in a sarcastic manner. Example:Customer - Yeah, I sort of need a haircut. My hair has gotten longlately.Barber #1 - (Vividly Sarcastic) Yeah buddy, you NEED ahaircutCustomer - Yeah well at least I have enough hair to need one.The customers response was so soothing that barber #1 had no response. Well deserved for someone who had poorly treated customers for the past hour+.That being said, the 4 barbers who sit closest to the end of the shop seem professional and serviceable. Bottom line, if you get serviced by barber #1, good luck, you are in for a wild ride.

Passing through for work and needed a cut. Ryan did a fantastic job and matched what In was looking for perfectly. Great place and atmosphere here as well. After I got in 6 other trickled in behind me. Must be a great spot!

Their abilities go as far as the classic buzz cut. If you want to maintain long hair or do something more stylish they will disappoint. They always cut it way shorter than what you ask.Plus, there is always a very long wait.

Fun group of guys here, they always take their time and give a great cut. Definitely on the more expensive side for a barber but its worth it. It can get really busy sometimes.

Well worth the wait. Staff will always greet you even if they’re swamped. Been to both Boston and Whitman locations and loved my haircut equally. Can’t go wrong with this level of professionalism.

Great haircut! They put a lot of time and detail into making sure you get what you want.

Pretty good cut, they were busy and they prefer their locals. Fair enough I guess, wont go back

Those guys are good barbers, I had the same kind of haircut for 5 years, and Nate got me rid of that stupid do-over that I was so fed up with. He gave me a really nice haircut, much nicer than the one I had before, and I rarely like the haircuts I get. I shouldve done that way before. Anyway they got a great service, they even gave me a cold one since I was the last client of the day. Top notch barber shop, highly recommend.

Amazing place! As i was waiting and watching, i noticed that all the barbers did a fantastic job. My haircut was no different. I would not go anywhere else in Boston for a haircut.

All walk ups, can request certain barbers. Was in and out very quickly. Great job and done quickly.

After several bad haircut experiences, I gave this place a shot. I have medium to long hair which seems to be difficult for most barbers to handle. Chris did an excellent job taking off about 5 inches of hair and giving me a whole new look. Second time I went in Jared cut my hair and it came out exactly how I asked.Don’t plan on going anywhere else as long as I live in the Boston area. Highly recommend

The barber shop is exquisite. Fine taste in music and design. Lots of happy smiling faces. Definitely the kind of shop that you come back to. Chris handled my hair really well and I had a blast just listening to the barbers. They seem to be passionate about cutting hair. Go get your combo haircut and beardtrim for the $5 discount. Chris this is for you, I just noticed how at the end of my beard the symmetry is a little off. I had fun getting my face pampered by you. After almost 4 years in Boston, I finally found my barbershop go to.

The friendliest shop in Boston. Seriously walked out with the best, freshest cut.

Pretty great, good hair cut and Costomer service. But the pricing just kills everything. $45 for a fade.

Love this place! Great cut and awesome energy from the barbers.

One of the best place to cut your hair! Chris was the one who cut my hair and he did such an amazing job! Would go back for sure and I really like the environment, the vibes of the shop! Recommended and a must barber place!

I’m posting this review very late. Have been going to bostonian for the past year and a half, but this was the first time Nate cut my hair and it was exactly how I wanted!Probably the best in Boston. Highly recommend it.

Good atmosphere. They have from customer service so you need to know what youre doing. I thought i signed in and i missed my chance, but they were nice enough because they saw me waiting.

Hands down the best Barber Shop in Boston. The atmosphere is friendly, prices reasonable and the quality of the craftsmanship and attention to detail is superb. Must try, especially if you have a beard.

Great place alot of talented master barbers in this place.👍👍

Got a great cut from Nate after this place opened. Definitely going back-great guys, good feel, and most importantly, a quality hair cut.Went back and got a guy named Jared, another great cut. Guess it doesnt matter who you get, thanks guys.

The best haircut and beard trim that I’ve ever had! I highly recommend Dave, but all the barbers are great! I suggest bringing something to work on, in case there is a wait.

Love this place, every time when in Boston have my hair cut there. Jared is amazing. Great barber, intelligent and polite. Very recommended

Highly recommend this barber shop..

Best barber shop around. It’s been 3 years since I’ve gotten a haircut anywhere else. Nothing but the best of the best all around.

Been there twice. Two very good outcomes. Friendly staff. Will definitely continue to come here!

Great quality haircut in a nice barber shop. The guys are very focused on detail and take their time. Pricier than other haircuts but they earn it

Great cut and beard trim from Jared. Good conversation and excellent music.

Dave did a great job cutting my hair. It would be great if one could make an appointment ahead of time, instead of walk-ins only.

Had my hair cut from Ryan Packer here, fantastic barber at a fantastic shop. Stellar service from Ryan. Never been disappointed and left with a great cut every time. Best barber in Boston imo

Great cut, good price. Took the time on the cut and did a good job. Old school type feel with American traditional portraits, loved it.

Intuitive barbers, cool vibe, great cuts. On the more expensive side, and be prepared for a wait, it is understandably popular.

Was in town for a Sox game. Ran over quick to get a trim. These guys are the real deal. Best experience! Now only if theyd open one in Madison WI.

Finally i found a good barber shop in Boston!Thank you Nolan for your service! Will be back soon!

Get a haircut by Bobby. Worth the wait. I’ve been going to him for over 6 months now.

I took my Autistic son for his back to school haircut. They were fantastic and very friendly. 5 Stars!!!

Ive got my haircut here since the beginning of the year, and its been great ever since. they give good haircuts and the staff are awesome. would reccomend. sort of pricy, but the haircut is always fantastic

Great shop best barbers have been going to see Nate for years highly recommend

Amazing place with amazing people. Chris cut my hairs and he was superb! Its bit expensive though, haircut cost $35

Decent haircut. Expensive. Loud and brash but in a friendly way.

Absolutely amazing.Conversation was great haircut was best Ive had to date. Will definitely be going back.

The best haircut in Boston so far. The joint is chill, and clean. I wouldnt think twice to recommend it.

Went here after another hairdresser did a really poor job. Overall great service and definitely worth the price.

Best barbershop in Boston! Dave and Nate rock.

The wait is long. Probably an hour at least, but its one if the best cuts ive gotten and the guys are VERY good!

Got a haircut from Chris. He began by asking what sort of cut I would like and I described it to him. He then began, and I asked a question about the length he was going for. He got extremely butt-hurt suddenly out of nowhere and rudely questioned whether or not I trusted him, and explained that he had been cutting hair for 20 years and knew what he was doing. He rushed through the rest of the cut and I was anxious to get out of there. Upon examining my hair later, he did a terrible job and left uncut hair all over the place, giving my hair an unkempt look. Cant speak for the other barbers here but Chris is terrible, dont go to him.

Absolutely fantastic place, Bobby is very professional and knows how to get you what you want without a lot of fuss.Well worth the money, will be recommending to others.

The haircut was very detailed and came put great it is well worth the little bit extra price.

Excellent staff- highest grade professionalism by the boys- and if you go you will not be disappointed in the cut you get.

The best Barber shop in Boston. Nothing in the city can even compare.

This was one of the easiest 5s to give in a long time. ( And rate people in healthcare for a living so I am quite critical) I have lived in many of the largest and most discriminating cities in the US and found finding a new barber is similar to going to the dentist. There are many options but few Id want to stake my reputation in. When I stumbled into the Bostonian in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, which I consider to be one of the busiest and fasting growing areas in the city, I felt immediately at home and comfortable. Jared not only cuts hair like no one I have ever met, but he gets to know you and doesnt forget whats important to you as a customer. Jared meets you where you are without ever leaving the site - thats talent mist will never understand. His customer sevice is superior to most and his technical prowess will not be equalled. The vibe in the shop is chill, and bantering but all in good fun and quite entertaining. I actually look forward to seeing Jared every two weeks and know that all I have to is show up and he will work his magic while helping me work mine with confidence because Im going to be rocking a solid look cabaple for the Board Room while making easy to hang with the Guys on the streets and at the gym. In this unpredictable world with little loyalty, Jared at the Bostonian has won my business for life until I sadly move to another city. Its simple - go to Bostonian, choose Jared, its worth the wait, your friends will think you are paying a furtune and only you Know the truth. Go now, go often, tell your friends. Boom

Ryan gave me a superb haircut and beard trim today! Would definitely recommend!

Awesome shop, great barbers. Relax and let the guys go to work

High prices..but well worth it

Might have been OK, but I gave up after waiting an hour. Appointments !!

Nate is legit!! Best around and the shop is great as well. Highly recommend it!

Would definitely come back every time.Great haircut .

Best barber shop on the south shore - HANDS DOWN

They cut me up pretty bad. Service is nice but not worth the scratches and bleeding after.

Great Service! Reasonable price!

Not any hair to care for, but my beard is looking good
