I really enjoyed my cut. But Ive got to give a small demerit because no one in the joint was wearing a mask
When questioned if anyone who worked there was vaccinated since no one was wearing a mask, barber became defensive and upset that the question was even asked. Did not feel it was an appropriate question to even ask.
Really great. Everyone in there was kind and the shop had a cool aesthetic. 10/10 would recommend.
Jason and Tyler are amazing! You can tell that they really take pride in their art and will take great care of you. Thanks for the great conversation and the even better haircut, Ill be recommending to all my friends and co-workers for sure.
Great place to get your hair did.It’s easy to make an appointment and they are open more hours than a lot of other local barber shops. You can choose the barber or pick first available if time is an issue.I’ve used four different barbers here and they all are friendly and good at what they do. The price is also more reasonable than other local spots.
Went in for my second cut here on Monday, Clark killed it the first time so I had to come back! I forgot to ask him to take a couple pics for a review so I couldn’t get the sides or the back but I did get a before and after, I didn’t feel like the same guy coming out of there! Look good feel good right! I ended up landing three more contracts that week! Momentum provides a good clean atmosphere with great talent! Thanks Clark!!
I can never say enough good things about momentum. Great staff. I always go to C.J. but their whole team is amazing. Sometimes I bring my son too and no matter what theyre always professional and welcoming. Jason, the owner is also helpful whether you need an appointment or a good restaurant recommendation. Highly recommend.
I typically dislike getting my hair cut - you dont know how it will turn out, it might be awkward... all that. I was VERY happy with Momentum. Its got a laid back vibe, the barbers/stylists are all nice, and Im very happy with how my hair turned out. The price, too, is standard for what youd pay at other barbers, although the experience you get seems like itd be more expensive. I will definitely be going back in 6 weeks for my next cut.
Clark did an amazing job! His attention to detail was second to none! Highly recommend!
So unprofessional. I will never go back. Quick haircut turned into a horrific experience. Avoid at all costs. Dont waste your money. Go to super cuts....To the response from the owner. Further proving my point. I do not have a son? So must have another upset customer he is assuming is me? SO PROFESSIONAL.
Great vibes at Momentum. Can I by any chance get the playlist y’all used? It was awesome
Momentum knows how to treat a customer. Ive gone to Barbershops all around New England, and this place is the best by far. Jason is a great barber and offered outstanding customer service. This place rocks. I highly recommend them
Was looking for a new place in Portland to get my hair done. Tried somewhere else and was ultimately disappointed in the cut and service. Came here and received the best haircut Ive had in years. Ryan did a great job and am happy to have found a consistent place and person to go to.
Allie was great.. got exactly the cut I wanted and good conversation throughout. And the price was right. I will be back
My wife and I brought our 6yo son to have his hair cut. We made an appointment and ended up with Clark as our barber. I want to take this opportunity to give him the shout out he deserves! He was so patient with him and very thorough and precise, our son wanted a shark design and Clark KILLED IT. If you’re looking for a place to go to get a hands down amazing haircut, go to Momentum at 52 Exchange street Portland you won’t be disappointed!
They do a great job! Julian cuts both my stepson’s (10) and my (51) hair, as well as my beard, and it is perfect every time!
This is a proper barbershop. This is where you go for a fade.
Great location, skilled barbers and a great overall experience.
Great hair cut straight shave and a low price love this place
A horrible place to go. super unprofessional. dont waste ur time going here.
Ive been going for a while now and have been satisfied every time. Julian does a great job. I like the casual atmosphere and the covid consciousness.
Great barbers here. Got exactly what I wanted.
One of the better places for a Fade but thats it.Went their for the first time and was really impressed with the fade but the overall haircut left me wanting quite a bit more. I would not suggest it if you having medium to long hair or if you want something thats not a fade.My barber was courteous and the service was excellent.
I stopped in here as a walk in when I was in town. I got Chris as a last minute appointment and he gave me one of the best haircuts Ive ever gotten.
Went in after 6 months of not getting a cut. Hair was 10in long. Didn’t exactly know what I wanted but Ryan C. Hooked it up and I’m pumped how it turned out. Definitely going back to him regularly.
They did an amazing job on my haircut...Very fast and very friendly...Highly recommend them....
My husband got his beard trimmed here by a new girl who was inexperienced and unable to properly shape a beard. Not only did the other stylists not help this female hairdresser, but she left the beard in worse condition than it started. I highly recommend that you find another location for a beard should you not want a bad quality trim
Andrzej was great. Really happy with my cut.
I love this place. Great barbers!
I got a bad haircut from another shop. I came to momentum to get it fixed and am happy I did. Ryan killed it. Appreciate it!
Great service great people. Definitely going back.
Nice hair cut verry little wait time.
Walked in. Took me immediately. Nick professionally and skillfully shaped me up. And I was out within twenty minutes. Happy.
Andre is the man! Great experience!
Great place with a great vibe. Katy is amazing.
I walked into this place looking like a hairy walrus, and walked out like a crisp flamingo. If youre going to get ur hair did, go here.
I really cant say enough about Momentum. Every barber/Hairstylist is an absolute artist and rockstar. The people are very nice and friendly as well as welcoming. The atmosphere and decor is like a cross between a tattoo studio and a night club. They are the only place Ill ever go to get my haircut
Honestly, this was such a rad experience. Andrzej is the man and gave me a proper trim that my girlfriend really loves (#winning). Plus, he listens to Deftones, which automatically made the whole cut that much cooler as we then reminisced about metal, moshing, and Fred Durst. This place is for sure a vibe and Ill 100% be back!
Allie cut my son’s hair perfectly! She kept him engaged, she worked efficiently and the end result was soooooo handsome! This was not my first awesome experience at Momentum, but rather another awesome experience. I’ll keep on giving them my business because they’re always on point! 😃
My son is so happy with his haircut. Staff were friendly, polite and on time. Very well trained professionals and we will definitely go back.You won’t be disappointed!Thank you so much Momentum 🙏🖤
The owner, Jay, is literally the best. Ill never go to another Barber, this place is just the best
Great vibes, great cut, chill barbers! Super highly recommended!!
Boston guy walk in. Place is cutting edge, gr8 vibe and Ryan C. was the best! Check this place out, awesome!!
Dillion did such a great job. It was my first time getting my haircut at a barbershop and will probably continue to go here. My fade has never looked fresher.
Kick @$$ atmosphere! Service rocked and my hair is the best!!!! Employees are badass too!!
If youre in the Portland area and need a haircut, Momentum is far and away the best option. The owner Jaysen is friendly, helpful, and all round just a good dude. Highly recommend your next cut is here! Ive trusted them with my hair for 3+ years now.
Loved my cut! Alli is great and very professional.
Perfect!
My special needs son and I Love this place. ♥️
I had an appointment for 9 am. I got there slightly early and was the only one there. It was interesting talking with Jason, and he did and excellent job. Definitely worth the money I spent, will go back and will recommend.
Go see Jay for a fresh cut. Very personable and down-to-earth owner.The shop itself is modern and well lit with great music.Haircuts are also reasonably priced and online booking is super easy.
Probably the best haircut I ever had. The girl that cut my hair was very good at her job, and quick too. :)
The only shop I go to. Great place for a quality cut.
Very talented barbers who will give you lots of attention and time if needed
Appointments online are easy and convenient. Haircuts are meticulous and on point. Barbers are high energy and the atmosphere is fun. Expect guy-talk... Its a barbershop.
Ive had my hair cut and beard trimmed here on and off for years. Overall, all the barbers Ive had here have given good quality cuts that dont leave you disappointed, even as your hair starts to grow in again.
Best place in Portland for a barber cut! Sharp, tight and perfect at its best.
Great service!! Exceptional haircuts
The vibe is fun and l laughed a lot at the guys who were cutting my sons hair. They give great haircuts.
I think this is a good place. For the most part the barbers are nice. What I hate is every time you walk in the place is a mess. I know it’s a barber shop but have some pride in your space. Hair and tissue all over the floor. Barbers just sitting around with out any care about cleaning their space.
Best place in Portland. Ask for Dillon.
DO NOT GET NIK, Veryy upset with the haircut I received from Such a quality place.
Fantastic professional place to get a cut!We were greeted moments after walking through the door and informed on who would be cutting our hair.Ive had lots of cuts and shaves and felt rushed, here was different. My barber took his time and made sure I was happy with it.Love this place and will be back.
Great place, super easy to book a haircut online.
My teenage sons like coming here. They are always busy in here and I would highly recommend getting in as early as possible to beat the rush. They accept the walk-ins ad well as take appointments.The cost is reasonable. The parking is tough because it’s either street parking or in one of the garages. However, the parking garages are close to this establishment.They are pretty cool barbers here who take great pride in their craft!
Best haircut Ive ever gotten. They did a great job and I will definitely go back again.
Ive been getting my haircuts here since I moved to Portland 4 years ago, and now its hard for me to imagine going anywhere else. Even when theyre ridiculously busy, they take the time to make sure my cut is perfect every time. The music, atmosphere, and people make every trip to momentum enjoyable.
They do a great job!
I dont remember the barbers name, his card is in my wallet. Alex maybe? Super nice, professional. My son loved his haircut! we will be back!
My brother used this place sorry Im cheap rather shave my own head thank heaven for going bald I have my own trimmers but the guys there do a good job cut hair well
This place is amazing! My girlfriend got her hair done here and got exactly what she wanted. Phil did an outstanding job and she gave him minimal direction. Id highly recommend this place to anyone! The atmosphere is very welcoming and they do a great job at making you feel comfortable. We live 3 hours away and from now on will be making the trip to get her hair done. Thank you guys! You rock 😁
Great haircuts, quick but thorough.
They are amazing
Im 14 and I just got an awesome haircut. You cant go wrong they all take pride in their work. Highly recommend👍
Made and appointment with Anthony today and was NOT dissapointed.He nailed it. I honestly cant say anything else, besides, NAILED IT.He consulted me about what he wanted to do, I agreed, and he made some magic Ive never seen before.I have had 4 revolutionary haircuts in my life, and this was one of them.Anthony you are the man, and my new barber. Thank you.Chris
Great haircuts, great vibes!
Zoran took great care of me, I have a pretty big beard that I normally take care of myself. He had an idea to make a few minor changes to the shape of it and I let him have at it, so glad I did, looks even better now. Clean lines and a great fade on the haircut. Top notch cut. As far as atmosphere, it’s a bunch of dudes, if you are looking for a salon this is not the place to go, but if you want a good cut then this is a great place.
Great place, super relaxed, and the haircuts are super professional and quick. Highly recommend!
All I want to say is that don’t waste your money here. I have been here twice and got disappointed both times. Very bad customer service 👎🏻
Great haircut. And the haircut is cheap. It like a 50 dollar hair cut for 30 bucks
Literally the worst haircut ever! After the guy was done he asked me what I thought. I looked in the mirror and I pointed to all of the patches of hair he missed CLEARLY visible to me RIGHT AWAY. He said oh sorry about that, took his clippers and lazily went over it real quick. It was so awkward. And he didnt put the cape on me and I had all the hair he missed that he just cut all down my back and rode like that all the way home.My side burns are so uneven Im literally stunned. And the straight edge is garbage. I literally felt like someone cut my hair with a blindfold on. And he missed hair ALL OVER MY HEAD not to mention the part that I pointed out before I left the shop.And what surprised me most was the weak attempt to make it right after I said something. I cant believe. Ill never be going back despite the few good haircuts I received before.I AM NOT EXAGGERATING TO WHOEVER IS READING THIS. I literally cant believe how much he missed on my head. You had one job bro. My hair is all in one spot, all right there. How could this possibly happen?
They try and accommodate walk-in convenient great at what they do cool staff & environment definitely a great place to get your hair cut/styled very clean
There are a lot of barber shops around Portland but Momentum will be my barber shop as long as I live in the area. Great cuts, great people, solid location and good music/environment. Keep up the good work!
This is the ONLY place that cuts my hair the way that I like it cut. I drive 2 hours each way for this place. They are attentive and know their stuff!! I wont go anywhere else. I am female and like a nice clean, sharp cut and they have never let me down.
If you need a fresh cut in the Portland area, look no further. Ive sat in nearly every chair and have never left with anything less than precisely what I asked for. Jay is involved at the ground level and always takes the time to make sure his customers are having a good day / positive experience at his shop!
This shop was super clean
My go-to spot for stylish, metropolitan cuts. the barbers are always on top of trendy looks, and will happily line your beard as well or give a full shave if you ask for it when you book in advance.it takes a lot for me to trust the opinion of my haircutter, but these guys have never steered me wrong. highly recommended!
Called and was given an appointment quickly. Showed up and got a quick cut that was on point. Great atmosphere and location. Would recommend and will be back.
Stopped in to get my back tapered. Sam buzzed the area on the left side of my head above my ear) down to skin. Note: the right side is about an inch long in the same place. Didnt realize how bad it was till I got home. Id ask for a refund but it wont make make this lopsided gaff on the side of my head grow back any faster.
Great guys, great cuts. On vacation and need a fresh cut? In town for business and need to look sharp for the meeting? These guys got you, right in the business district too. Check them out.
First I’d like to say this is the first one star review I’ve ever given. The experience I had at this shop was extremely awful from the start. I walk into the shop and sit down, without a greeting or any form of acknowledgement. After about 10 minutes my soon to be barber looks up from his phone and asks me if I’ve been helped yet. He tells me to sit down and asks what I want. I told him not to touch the top, that I just wanted a fade on the sides. The actual haircut took about 15 minutes which is the quickest I’ve ever received from a shop. The whole time I was faced away from the mirror and listened to this guy complain and talk about how he was going to bash someone else’s teeth in. (I get personal issues but leave them outside of work.) When he finishes and spins me around he had not only given me a fade but buzzed the top part I had asked him not to. The actual haircut in itself was probably the worst I’ve ever received. A few of my friends have even proceeded to tell me that. I will have to go somewhere else to get it fixed.All in all I don’t usually leave negative reviews but this was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a barbershop.
Always a quality cut with just the right amount of conversation
Walked in, loved the atmosphere and aesthetics of Momentum. I didnt have an appointment but I was in the chair 10 minutes after walking in, even though the place was packed. My barber, Joey, was very professional and made the experience enjoyable. High quality and very cheap for such a great haircut. I am going to recommend Momentum to all of my friends!
First experience was great. Second time in, I called and asked if they could take a walk in. Sure, they said. Showed up ten minutes later to find 3 barbers, 2 of whom werent working. One was sitting in his chair and got up to tell me that it was a 45 minute wait. When I told him I had called he said, oh. Well, ya still gotta wait. I left and went to the Blind Pig. Gote rigtr in and had a great experience.
Three days after my first haircut here I had a woman hit on me at Pearl because of it. Her opening line was literally, You have the best hair cut in here. Do I really, honestly, need to say more? I sure as f**k hope not. Cheers!
This place has a chill atmosphere. If you have a beard and need it shaped then stop by. Zoran made my beard clean cut. I wouldnt get it cut anywhere else.
