Came down from NH spent a night in the city and got my first cut in a long time. These guys are πŸ”₯. Professional friendly skilled. A great fade an amazing beard trim. Went in looking homeless left looking heartthrob. Had the banter between barbers and customers I would expect fun atmosphere. Modern skill and tools and the old times neighborhood barber feel. Cant go wrong!! Also price was great of the time and attention I received!

Had a great experience going here today. I received an epic cut from Roberto and also a very pleasant conversation. I highly recommend you book with him so he can give you the best barber service that you’ll find in the Boston vicinity.

Skips is one of the best shops I’ve been to on the West or East coast. Good people and everyone there really knows how to cut hair, they take their time for each person. Anthony cut me for my wedding, looks great. Highly recommend

Amazing group of passionate barbers. You would be missing an experience if you fail to go. The attention to detail, the conversation and the service is second to none.

My barber of 5 years cancelled on me last minute yesterday due to an emergency but I was desperately in need of a cut. Happened to be in the area and looked up skips. Called and they had time to cut me - definitely was not disappointed. The crew there is great, knows what they’re doing, and let me go looking right! Go see Jamal there and you will be a happy customer.Thanks guys!

Anthony is an absolute god send. I flew in from out of town and trusted the reviews. Glad I did. He had so many recommendations, and tried something new out for my hair style. All in all I was very impressed and he gave me a better cut than I get at home.

Jamal is definitely great at what he does. However, he overcharged me and still made me feel as if I needed to tip. His personality and professionalism lacks as well. I didnt get a basic welcome or hello at my arrival. No intro on his behalf, etc. Ive had this service done throughout my life and this the first time I was made to feel like I was an inconvenience.UPDATE. OWNER NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH!!! WHAT A LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM!!!

Just left Skip’s and got a fantastic cut from Roberto and needed to leave a review. After moving to Southie I recently had a not great haircut experience. The kind where you’re just waiting to get out of the chair and you want it to end. Thankfully hair grows back and I figured I’d try a new spot with the hope that someone could clean up the mess. Roberto delivered. I have a pretty basic cut, but he took his time and paid attention to the details and had me looking fresh and clean. And throughout was an absolute pleasure to talk to. I would recommend him to anyone and will be back.

These guys truly love the craft of barbering. Jamal is my main barber, and Anthony has cut my hair too. Theyve both knocked it out of the park. They cut to work with your hair growth patters, cowlicks, whatever. Take a minute, tell them what youre going for, and youll get one of the best haircuts youve ever had. Basic cut is $45 which can feel like a lot if youre not used to paying that much, but you can absolutely tell a difference Locally owned by the operators.

Ive been following Anthony for years throughout his career. When he first opened Skips in Southie and now this location in the South End. They are all extremely professional, easy going, and most importantly, cut a great head of hair. Ive sent quite a few people to Skips over the years and I will continue to do so.

Got my haircut with Roberto. Cut my hair for 35 mins or so. The fade is not properly done. I could see patches here and there after the shower. Uneven lengths of hair on the front. I had to spend another half hour tweaking at home.Didnt look like a $45 hair cut. Came here because of reviews. Didnt argue as Im running late to something else.I didnt feel the cut overall IYKWIM. Might not visit again.Thanks! πŸ‘

Jamal cut my hair about 3+ weeks ago and from the day he cut it to now it still looks amazing. I appreciate a barber that cuts for longevity because Im typically someone who goes 4 weeks between cuts. Thank you again Jamal!

Jamal took care of my quarantine hair, and its one of the best cuts Ive had in years! They were taking every precaution to keep everyone safe and still had a very fun atmosphere.Make sure to wear a mask that loops around your ears (not a bandana). They do have spare masks if necessary though.

Anthony and his team run a great operation at Skips - best cuts around, great value, and even better atmosphere. This is a place where they remember your name, make your experience enjoyable as soon as you walk in, and you walk out looking much better than when you walked in. Cannot recommend Skips enough.

I have been getting my hair cut and shave from Roberto for the last couple of years. He is the best barber I had in my life and though I moved out west, I got my trim by him on a recent 1-day business trip to Boston.His shaves are perfect and he never rushes or takes short cuts. He is also an extremely nice and friendly person, so the hour is never boring :-)I highly recommend Roberto!

Review β„–38

Been getting cut by Anthony for years now. He is at the top of his haircutting game! WARNING: This is not your average barber. His approach to cutting hair is more than just cutting hair shorter, Anthony truly designs your cut, taking into consideration the texture of your hair, the way it falls, the shape of your head and face, and so many other factors. The best part? Anthony never stops advancing on each cut, leaving you with a better and better haircut every time you come in. I will be getting my hair cut by Anthony for as long as he will cut it.

I just came back from Skips Barbershop in the South End and Luis gave me a very nice, very detailed, hair cut. This wasnt a quick clipper job. Instead, Luis spent a fair amount of time making sure that he gave me a haircut that I was happy with. Really great guy and I highly recommend giving Skips a try.

These guys are the real deal. I’ve lived in Boston for a few years and couldn’t find a reliable shop until my buddy told me about Skip’s. Anthony and his guys take the time to know what you want and you feel like a regular after the first cut. Best shop in Boston no doubt.

I’ve been on the search for a great barber within the city for the last two years. However, my search ended a year ago when I landed upon Skips! You can’t beat the layout, the location, and the skilled barbers. Anthony and Paolo are by far the best when it comes to quality as well as providing an awesome atmosphere. I’ve recommended numerous friends to them who are also continuous goers. Stay classy mis amigos! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Review β„–71

Luis is an expert barber. I am very picky and was on the hunt for a new barber after my last one moved out of state. I went to most of the shops around the south end looking for a new optionβ€”each offered a meh experienceβ€”just OK cut, never on time, etc. I happened to stop by Skips on a whim and got a cut from Luis. He is highly-skilled, whether it be a a fade, scissor cut, or shave. I am now going weekly and would not hesitate to recommend others to him. If you are looking for a perfect cut from a meticulous master barber, and just good guy, then Luis is your man.
