I got a very thorough and very precise cut at eds and am thrilledHe spent about 35 minutes and delivered a perfect cutHighly reccomend

I have been going to Ed’s since I moved to the neighborhood 10 years ago. I haven’t been anywhere since. Unfortunately today everyone has to post what they like and don’t like. Well, I like the old fashioned feel of a barbershop every 3-4 weeks. Ed’s father gave you that feel, he told me if you don’t like something, tell me. Not in those words. That was it, I was sold. Ed Jr does a superb job. As meticulous as they come. He runs the shop now that his father retired. I like the idea of a father passing his business down to his son. Ed can’t say the things his father used to say back in the day in this current climate, but he will always be honest with you. For anyone that walks out of a barbershop unsatisfied, frankly it’s their own fault for not speaking up. Walking into Ed’s is like walking into my old neighborhood barbershop growing up. You may have to wait a bit because Ed is on his own now, but you will never have to worry about him rushing your cut to get to the next customer. Classy old style barbershop that unfortunately is one of only a few left. Take advantage of it while it is still here.

Great service! Didnt rush, did it exactly as requested and a true professional. Old school quality and treatment. I told him hes got a new lifetime customer. Im going only to Eds from here on in.

Ive been coming to Eds almost exclusively since I moved to Providence in 2011. The shop is a classic spot that hasnt had to change much in the 60+ years its been in business. Ed Sr. cut my hair superbly for many years before unfortunately he began to lose his touch, and had to retire. Since then, Eds has been taken over by his son, and the top class service one would expect has been restored. Ed Jr. provides a haircut with a precision, care and detail that is unmatched. If youre in Providence and looking for a clean, professional cut, you wont be disappointed at Eds.

Decided to try this place out since Im new to the area and its within walking distance. Huge mistake. Ed took a chunk out of my hair maybe a half inch by inch above my ear (see picture). Obviously a mistake but he failed to tell me about it and charged me full price (plus tip) for a botched hair cut. I noticed the chunk missing when I got home. Additionally, I was cut in several places with the straight blade on the back of my neck. It has now been almost a week of me walking around looking like an idiot or trying to hide my hair with a hat. I do not recommend this places unless youd like to share my embarrassment.

The old tyme experience was amazingly perfect, I found my lifetime barber

Even if you’re getting a simple buzz cut, Eddie will cut it meticulously. This sort of precision and attention to detail can’t be rushed: assume it will take 40 minutes for each person ahead of you in line. Good things take time.

Visited the barbershop on a Wednesday afternoon, and I waited for about an hour until it was my turn because there were 2 people came in before me and Ed was the only that working. It is OK though because that means Ed took his time with each customer. He is also a social butterfly, he will chat to you about anything from good spots to eat in the neighborhood (since I just moved to Providence) to how to get girls numbers. Very down to earth guy. His son came in (his name is also Ed) and he was the one who cut my hair. He was very polite, I showed him a picture of my haircut from my last barber. He cut it even better. I was very pleased with the outcome. I would definitely come back here.

Excellent Barber. Very thorough in cutting your hair. Recommend anyone to go get a real traditional haircut.

Ed isnt the type of person to hold back. Some people might not find all the discussions and jokes politically correct. But its an old school place, straight razor to finish the haircut kind of old school. If it looks like there a line, your better off coming back when there is only a couple people waiting because it can be a while to wait. Ive been going here for years and have had very few reasons to ever complain. This type of place is not for everyone, but if you have the time and dont mind being the butt of a couple jokes, youll enjoy the experience and end up with a solid haircut.

4th and unfortunately the last time Im going to eds barber shop, got the worst hair cut Ive ever had at eds today. Before I left the chair I told him it looked uneven and not the same on both sides of my head and not faded in what so ever, I argued it wasnt and was met with an attitude. I could not get out the chair fast enough!. Wasnt until I got home and had my wife check it over and she noticed that my neck was half shaved and cut at an angle, behind my ears there were uncut hair and the sides uneven. I dont have the heart to return to eds and to refuse to get in to ed seniors chair, his son however has cut my hair twice and has been very good.

Ive been coming here for over a decade, great haircuts

Even before the haircut I found Ed a rude unpleasant person (I will not use the word I actually think) However, I read good reviews so I though I would give it a try anyway. He did a terrible job, possibly the worst haircut I have ever had. Finally, the worst was that when he was shaving the hair around my ears he cut me with the razors several places behind the ears and on the face both sides. I payed 17 dollar which is not expensive but I would not go back even if i was payed for.

Really nice guy. Great cut! Worth the wait.

Time Warp Barber Shop. I walked in and had to wait about 45 minutes, but I didnt call ahead. Ed is straight out of a movie. There were several other people in there waiting and the banter back and forth was classic. I had to keep from laughing while getting my hair cut.Definitely not the place if you want some crazy haircut, but if youre looking for a Mad Men type haircut, I think hes been giving them since the 60s. The place has been there for 50 years, just need a little patience since he gets pretty busy.Hint: tip the guy.

Ed is a great barber and always knows what will look best for your head shape. Will ask you short, medium or long length and work for over 30 mins crafting a sharp cut

Nice enough guy, but the haircut may have been the worst I’ve ever received. Uneven all the way around, chunks missing like one of the other reviewers mentioned, and was 17 dollars. I had to pay another 15 just to get it fixed. Don’t go here.

Worst haircut ever, i had to go to a second barber to get my hair fixed, it was reallllyy bad, Ive should have known, the place was full of white old people. It was bad

The name says it all
