Reviews of Boston Barber & Tattoo Co.

Leon

A fantastic opportunity to get the chance to meet a hair stylist who took care of me in the past. Courtney was courteous, charismatic, and an all-over fantastic barber. The location is charming— with an old barber shop vibe that made the stay there getting my hair cut even more wonderful. Can’t recommend it more!

David Duarte

Awesome experience all around… I got tattooed by Jason Pepe, His talent clearly speaks for itself but his customer service level and attention to detail is what separated him from the rest for me. Jason is booked up but worth the wait for sure… A lot of heart and soul in between the walls in this shop. Had a lot of fun hanging out there much respect to everyone for making this shop what it is. Can’t wait for my next trip….

jared Martin

The atmosphere in the shop is awesome. They keep it very clean and neat ( someone was literally sweeping up my hair mid cut) I love that you can make appointments with a specific barber on their website. I always go to Mike and I'm never disappointed. Hard to find someone I trust with my beard and he always kills it. #fademasterflex

Chris Price

David (Rumlow from Captain America lol) was great! Best haircut I've probably ever had..and my 1st time getting a hot shave was a treat. Definitely will make sure I need a haircut the next time I come to Boston!

Alessandro Tenaglia

Boston Barber and Tattoo is the quintessential barbershop experience. It's truely a haven to briefly escape and enjoy yourself while getting cleaned up. Personality, conversation, cold drinks, coffee bar, hoodies and snapbacks for sale are just a few ways to stay busy while waiting for your world class haircut. I don't know why you'd go anywhere else.

Noel Landa

Hands down one of the coolest Barber shops with just a sweet vibe Everyone in this shop knows how to actually cut hair ! One of the best fades I've gotten thank you Tabitha !

Sonny Mehta

Oh so much to say. Came to the shop from Portland, Maine. The staff at both the barber shop and the tattoo shop were super friendly, even during my wait for the tattoo shop to open. Had staff calming my nerves outside with fun banter. Now to the tattoo experience. Dan Sanchez was super accommodating and a great artist and I had the best tattoo experience I have ever had. The other artists and staff also were great, engaging in conversation, and made the long session go by without added stress. One suggestion if possible, 3x shirts for the heavyweights. Thank you to everyone. I will be back. Hope you guys enjoyed the cannolis.. ill pick some different flavors next time. Sonny

Mal Malme

What else could you want from a barbershop? A walk through the North End, a fun happening vibe, AND - great conversation, lots of laughs, and always an awesome haircut from the exceptionally skilled barber, Kim. Oh, and half a block walk to get a cheese slice afterwards. Come on! Let’s go!!

Anthony Scrima

Amazing professional tattoo shop! I worked with Cat who is a crazy talented tattoo artist that took my concept design and made it into a beautiful piece that I am proud to wear. Oh by the way, she did all of this with me over email since I was out of the state for the time leading up to it. Just trust her and her design work because she will really make your ideas come to life in the most incredible way. Highly recommend

Tony Flores

One of the best barber shop experiences I've ever had. Mike is a complete class act. Welcoming,accomodating,relatable and talented... place is super clean and has a dope old school vibe to it as well.

John Rouleau

Mike was amazing. He took everything i said i wanted. Gabe his his own flair and efffing killed it. 10 out of 10 go to him.. so personable and time efficient.

Elin Gadirli

Shop is cool, people in there were cool and it felt nice to walk around the neighborhood. Didn’t like the custom cut I wanted to get but I’ve just tried one barber and I give the credit to the guy who cut my hair for trying his best

Tom Cunningham

What can I say?..Lauchie Macdonald is a superb artist and great guy! Went in early August, met with him, talked over what I wanted and what he could do for me. First appointment was last Friday and well worth the wait - it's a tat, gonna be on me until I'm worm food so why not wait for the BEST!!! Going back in a couple weeks so he can finish his excellent work!!! Don't have much hair, so can't review the barber shop side but the Tattoo side and Lauchie rocks! Thanks!!!!!

Kyle Remington

Go see my guy Michael Colangelo for the fade of a life time. Man’s a master of his craft and an absolute artist. Line up your beard whatever you need he’s got you covered

Jay Hurst

Super easy to communicate with them, helpful responses to emails. Great vibe inside and the tattoo came out great!

Julian Suazo

Got a great cut from Mike. Gave me exactly what I came in for with speed and finesse and great to talk to. Cool atmosphere and always better to walk around the North End lookin stupid spiffy! Can't recommend enough

Scotia Code

Visited Boston for a weekend, and found this place! It looked so cool from the outside that we couldn't not go in. Super friendly people who fit me in for a walk-in, and I couldn't be happier with it! Brian did the small leaf and he was very friendly and professional. I've never felt so at home in a tattoo shop before.

Walked by and felt the high levels of testosterone, I'm just kidding, but looks amazing!

William Lewis

Been going to Boston Barber and Tattoo for haircuts nearly 7 years, and can definitely say I feel more certain i’m walking out with a great cut from here than anywhere else. There’s a lot of solid barbers, and a few who I don’t love as much and won’t go to anymore, but from my experience, and for my style, Ricky and Netty are top tier. Ricky charges a little more, but if you need *any* stylistic work with scissors, i gotta hand #1 to Ricky. Netty’s overall just really sweet and can fade sides like none other, and I would definitely recommend her if that’s a focus for you I used to love the old system they had where you could walk in and put your name up for someone specific, or just take the luck of the draw. Was great to go on a leap of faith, but once you narrow down who you like going to, the new booking system is quite nice. Boston Barber has a strong Boston culture, which may intimidate visitors less accustomed to the people here, but like much of this city, everyone is so friendly and funny once you get to know them. Top notch banter every time

Ben Warren

I went to see Mike (Tom Fadey) he got me right! One of if not the best cut I’ve gotten, if you need to get right go to Mike! Enough said

Faye Win

Got my first tattoo with Cat here. She was very patient during the consultation and quick with the tattoo. All the girls were super sweet and welcoming. Tried to call late in the day and no one answered. Also tried to get an appointment through the website (couldn’t get an slot either) Walked in the next day and they had an availability for 6pm that day. Totally worth it though! Definitely coming back.

Matthew Jackson

Skilled barbers who take their time with each cut and match what the client is looking for, great place.

PeaceAlways

By far best haircut spot in Boughton...superb haircut to boot..

Mandi L

I noticed this place while driving through after just having moved to Boston. I booked my little brother an appointment online with Ricky (great availability!) as a “thank you” for helping me move. He walked out of the shop absolutely BEAMING and said he won’t let anyone else touch his hair ever again. The only problem is… brother still lives in South Carolina, so he will be visiting regularly to see Ricky, not me! My mom was there for the appointment and said it was like watching an artist at work; Ricky was meticulous and laser focused. Ricky’s inherent talent and passion really shows in how amazing my brother’s hair looks. My brother has never looked so handsome and he cannot stop smiling. Thanks so much, Ricky!

Leonard Streich

Michael Colangelo gave me the best haircut I’ve honestly ever had, he was nice, chatted with me which passed the time and did an awesome job!

Andrew fontaine

I came here for a full sleeve tattoo and Jason Anthony absolutely killed it. Hands down some of the best art work I’ve seen. Anywhere I go people ask about my tattoo work!

Andrew Baker

Since moving to Boston, I’ve gotten my hair cut here twice now and will continue to come here. The atmosphere is super chill and the barbers do a great job. Nick cut my hair today and was amazing. I’ll be back in a few weeks!

Patrick Frieh

Mike is an amazing guy and the hair cut was even better hair cut!!

Benjamin Nimphie

Best barbers in Boston. Very cool atmosphere as well. I've been getting my hair cut here for three years (since I moved to Boston) and have had several different barbers cut my hair. All have done an awesome job. As long as I am in Boston, I won't go anywhere else. Keep up the great work!

Val M

Marissa did a great job with my tattoo! I'm so happy with the results one week later. I would definitely recommend this place for getting some ink. The building is amazing and the people that work there are very friendly.

David Stoffel

Out in Boston for work and needed a cut. Boston Barber & Tattoo (North End) was the only decent-looking place that was open on a Saturday, so I decided to give it a shot. I arrived shortly after they opened (9:10, opened at 9) and the place was packed! I signed-in and made my way to the back where I was greeted with a fresh brewed espresso. Before I knew it, my name was being called. Although there were probably 10+ people waiting, there were 8 barbers working, so it was a non-issue. My ONLY problem with my visit is that the guy that cut my hair (don't remember his name) cut off everything up to my part, even though the outline from my last cut was still there. I understand that everyone has their own style, but I've never had anyone cut a fade all the way up to the part, Seems like a rookie move for cutting a standard fade. Other than that, he did a good job and it does look halfway decent. Plus, it will grow back. Prices were very reasonable for being in Downtown Boston, so check out the shop, you won't be disappointed. Just make sure to be specific with exactly what you want before the barber starts. I will definitely return if I find myself in Boston and in need of a cut.

THE best place you could possibly go to for a tattoo! A year ago, I was looking for someone who could do a certain armband tattoo and Catarina knocked it out the park despite its complexity. Just yesterday I returned but this time, I got an equally dedicated, patient and friendly artist named Jason. I came in to get a hyper-realistic tattoo of Augustus Cæsar and I am at a loss for words due to the unbelievably great services. The shop is clean and the prices are affordable, and everyone is super nice. I can’t wait for my next visit.

Nicole Sileo

Very understanding when we were unable to attend our appointment. Also very quick to respond with any questions we had and able to refund us for our confusion.

Aaron Franklin

I’ve seen Adam twice now and he does an amazing job. I go for beard trims/line ups, and occasional haircut. The place is SO cool! Walk in, write your name down on the cue sheet, take a seat at the bar for some coffee/water or by the chairs and someone will call you up. Never had to wait more than 10min to be called. Love it there!

Manu Díaz

Simply great! I would give it more stars if I could. Happened to be in Boston, happened to need a haircut and happened to find this great barber shop. Walked in, joined the list and had a coffee waiting for my turn on their cool coffee shop next to a great tattoo artist on the job. In less than fifteen minutes they got me on the chair. Over the result I will simply resume it with the best adjective possible: Professional. Just a few words and they got what I wanted. The result was great. Really cool place, really cool people and really great results for a good price. I'd go every month here if I didn't happen to live thousands of kilometers away ;)

Joe Green

Best haircut of all time! Wonderful experience. My son and I went to Boston for the day and decided to get haircuts. He's 14 and plays hockey, so we chose Boston Barber & Tattoo because we heard that's where some of the Bruins go. A very friendly young lady welcomed us and showed us where to wait. There is a bar with coffee and cold drinks which I thought was a nice touch. The shop was really crowded, but within minutes we were escorted upstairs where there are three more barber chairs. My son, who is ridiculously meticulous about his hair, got a haircut from Michael. My guy was Jerry. Both barbers were amazing. So thorough. My son LOVED his haircut as much as I loved mine - and for $20. The guy I used to go to charged $25 and hardly cared at all what it looked like when he was done. These guys felt more like artists than barbers. Hey, the atmosphere and experience were great, but we'll be going back simply because the haircuts are the real deal. Thanks, fellas

Laura Nieske

Amazing shop and amazing people. Barbers are unbelievable and so are the tattoo artists. I have many tattoos that were done here both by Brian, and Cat and also a previous worker as well. Unfortunately I was never able to get tattooed by Lauchie but I wish I had been able to. Very comfortable great atmosphere and some of the best people around you in the heart of Boston’s Little Italy.

Colby Young

Coolest shop I’ve ever been to. Someone on here reviewed it as “the legit Boston experience”, undeniably true! Jerry hooked me up, I can now show my face proudly in public again. Go check them out.

Brandon Diniz

Couldn’t help but check out reviews of places I enjoy due to boredom cause of Covid-19. First of all, there is no tattoo shop or barbershop that’s comparable to Boston Barber & Tattoo Co. I’ve been getting my ink here for year and I’ve never once had a bad experience. I personally go to Lauchie, but all the artists at this shop are beyond talented. It’s very well managed by Rob. It’s evident that he is very caring when it comes to the customers and his employees while you’re in the shop for the day. I’ve never gotten a haircut here due to where I live but during my next tattoo appointment, I will absolutely be trying it out after using the same guy for years (need a new barber because mine is now out of state). I’ve talked to them a couple times while waiting for my appointments and they’re hilarious dudes that are also very talented. It gives it that classic barbershop feel. I wish you could give reviews more than 5 stars because Boston Barber & Tattoo Co. deserves it. Thanks for everything over the years Rob and Lauchie!

Robert Crawford

Great haircuts every time. Doesn't really matter who you get in my experience, they're all very good. You can't book but there is a paper based queue system. Typical wait time at the weekend is around half an hour if you don't request a specific barber, a bit longer if you do.

Ashar Saleem

My guy Anthony is the only barber I would drive 20 miles for. I was a client when he was still in Waltham and followed him when he started at Boston Barber. The extreme attention to detail, yet still laid back demeanor is something I have yet to witness from another barber. He listens to what you want and the execution is never less than stellar. I had always dreaded getting my hair cut but since I've been here, it's always a good experience. Getting to the North End and parking is an issue but it's worth it. Take my advice, ask for Anthony.

Tom Gordon

Great haircuts for guys and great tattoo artists. Love this place. See my picture of before and after on my tattoo.

Travis Morgan

I have gotten my hair cut a handful of times here and I have had a different barber each time. The first time I went was alright, the barber was a bit rough but it looked great so it was fine. The following time I had someone new and it was the best cut i had received up to that point. My third time going i requested the barber who cut my hair the second time, but he was no longer there. I got someone who had only been there for a week and it was amazing. Best cut I've received to date. My most recent visit i learned that the gentleman who I saw my third time was gone so I had someone new yet again. I believe his name was Riz (or something along those lines) he was very friendly but I told him I was growing out the top of my head but he still trimmed part of it and he left 5 or 6 cuts around my head. I have never had that bad of an issue with cuts before. I am 100% willing to go back again but the inconsistency and my most recent experience is worrisome.

Kristen Grant

Love the atmosphere here! Staff is welcoming . Coffee is very good and reasonably priced. Had eyebrows microbladed by Desiree, she did a fantastic job! It was fast and the shape came out perfect! Would recommend to anyone.❤

James

Good barber shop in the north end. The only thing preventing me from rating this 4 or 5 star is the consistency of haircuts. At times the barber will do their own thing that isn't in line with the style you asked for. Or the most frustrating times have been asking for the length up top to be left alone and the barber takes an inch off. The price is pretty good and the staff is always friendly.

Omar Eleryan

The girl who cut my hair gave me the worst haircut I’ve ever had. I understand there are a lot of barbers that work at this shop, and I’m sure some are really good, but my experience was quite bad. The atmosphere is great however, and they take walk-ins which is convenient.

Harry Barker

Started going here a few years ago. Adam is a superb barber. Great haircut and great footy banter, will always find the game for you if you go in on a Saturday morning! Wouldn't go anywhere else in Boston now. Nice caf at the back and all to grab a coffee while you wait. Cheers lads

Brian Gorman

Boston barber and tattoo is my regular spot. Cap, Dave, and the guys have miraculously managed to put a modern day spin on that traditional, barbershop atmosphere. Great conversation, timeless and traditional skills/tools, fair pricing, and a quality service are barely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to reasons why they are such a great place, and what keeps me going out of my way intentionally for such an awesome experience.

Justin Connors

Let me start by saying that I have never taken the time to write a review online about anything and only made a Google account so that I could do just that about this place: About 4 months ago I decided to start growing out my beard. Everywhere I read and anyone I talked to told me to let it grow for about 2 months so that It would then be long enough for a barber to properly cut/ groom it. So after looking scrappy as hell for 2 months I wanted to make sure I found a shop that knew how to cut beards so that it was not all for nothing and I would just end up shaving it all off anyway. After reading the reviews on here I decided to give Boston Barber & Tattoo a try, best choice I have made in a while. I went in on a Saturday morning and was in a chair in about 15 minutes. The Barber (Jerry) spent about 35-40 minutes on my hair and beard and I couldn’t of been any more impressed/ happy with how it came out. On top of the great beard trim and haircut for a VERY fair price the atmosphere, people and conversation was all fantastic! Just to give an example, my barber Jerry was talking to me about how best to take care of my beard and what I should be doing to groom it the right way and Rob (who I think is the shop owner) overheard us talking. He came over and handed me a bottle of beard wash a rep had gave him as a sample to try. He told me to try it out and if I liked it he would carry the product in the shop, this was my 1st time ever in this shop so needless to say the first impression was very good! When I went in for a second time I decided to make an appointment to get my existing tattoo touched up for the summer. I ended up designing a large rib piece to go around my existing tattoo instead with Cat a tattoo artist at the shop. Just to clarify when I say “I” and “design” in the same sentence I mean I gave Cat a picture of a tree and she created/ drew up an unbelievable tattoo. In all the tattoo took about 7 hours and 2 sessions and was located on my ribs. I am ecstatic with the way the tattoo came out and when I get another tattoo I will 100% be going back to Cat at Boston Barber and Tattoo. I would recommend Boston Barber & Tattoo to anyone looking for a great haircut, beard trim or tattoo and will continue to be going here as long as I live in Boston.

Atlas Shrugged

Kim did a great job giving me the haircut I asked for. Was a bit disappointed to see that she was not wearing her face mask when I arrived upstairs. She put it on when she saw me but it should have been on the whole time. She could’ve been infecting the air around us. Still a good experience

Daniel Nahill

The place to get your haircut in Boston. These guys will treat you right, keep your lines straight and your fades tight. I’ve been numerous places but this is the absolute best. Great atmosphere and grab a coffee while you wait.

Jorge Pena

Great place! A throw back to the time honored profession of barber. Adam cut my hair...and he did a fantastic job. Highly recommend and next time I am in town will definitely stop by!

Pierson L Brannan

Phenominal! I have never had such a wonderful experience at a barber shop. The haircut and shave is worth every cent. I have nothing to say, because I didn't think it was possible for a barber shop to be this awesome. Kudos to that Army-cat Ricky! Next time I'm in Boston, I'm getting a haircut again.

Nicholas Neill

Great atmosphere, friendly and professional staff, and their prices are reasonable. $24 for a stellar cut. Ask for Dave, although I'm sure they're all pros. Cash only. ATM inside. ESPN on in front of every chair. Coffee bar accepts cards. Coffee is actually great. Haven't had any ink done here, yet, but I'm told to ask for Cat.

Ross

Efficiently run without much of a wait, as there were many barbers working mid day during the week. You can request a specific barber when you sign in. I'll be back and request the barber who gave me a great cut. Reasonably priced for the real deal.

Justin Boyle

I've been to just about every barber in Cambridge and Somerville but kept searching, after experiencing drastically varying levels of quality and professionalism. I crossed the river once to try these guys out and they've been my shop ever since. Consistent, quality cuts every time.

Fitzythird

I'm going back after 5 weeks tomorrow. Barbera the barber did a great job and even coached me a bit on the look. Great job... everyone in there was more than welcoming. See you all tomorrow!

John Mavrogiannis

Love this shop.... quality in all aspects from barbers to coffee bar and even more so on tattoos... don't ever hesitate to go here for either need you may have!

Evan R

My favorite barbershop in all of Boston. They have two floors of barbers and all of them have their own unique styles. I've never been disappointed going here in the 2 years I've been supporting this business!

Pete Jusseaume

Nothing but the best here. Have gotten 2 tattoos, 1 from Cat and a cover up/ full chest piece from Lauchie. Wicked awesome skills and always satisfied with the art work. Everyone there is friendly and chill.

Mr. McSheffrey

Catarina Quintino crushed my photo realistic tattoo! Professional art work and atmosphere. Will be going back for more ink soon. This pic is about 1 hour after getting the tat, so there's still some blood, redness in there. Totally normal

Tara Bell

Amazing!! I will gladly fly from Baltimore JUST to get my tattoos from Lauchie. Friendly staff, clean, and wonderful atmosphere. And the ink!! Perfect! He took his time and the detail he put. I went in for "just a small wrist tat" and I have more than I ever ask for. Very reasonably priced too.

D Jones

been coming here for a few years and have good things to say, but a guy with lips tattooed on his neck cut my neck with a straight razor enough to get a decent amount of blood on my shirt collar and acted like nothing happen, thinking i wouldn't notice once i got home. aside from one bad incident, it's a good place.

Moises Fernandez

The blonde girl was awesome! Sorry i didnt catch your name, im the worst with names but youve definitely showed this Floridian great customer service and how an outstanding barber does her job. Definitely enjoyed my hot towel shave. :)

Alec Pollack

Went to the shop in beacon hill it was alright, but the North End shop... best Barber I've been to. Everyones inviting and helpful. Me and my boy got a nice cut with razor work and everything. definitely worth the price.

Lucas Devick

Great atmosphere, great people. Had my hair cut by Cap and he was a very professional and a friendly guy. Quality service all around. Can't beat their price for a quality hair cut.

Gavin Peters

Good prices, friendly staff, and a good cut. It's walk in only, which is overall just so much less hassle.

Ian Sampson

To preface, I moved to Boston a year ago. Had the same barber for four years during college, and was shook to go anywhere else. Stumbled on boston barber because it was a two-minute walk from my apartment. one of the best decisions ive made to date. Best vibes, best cuts, Dave is the f-ing boy. barbers get to know you and line you up perfectly. Will never go to any barber ever again. even if i happen to move again, i will gladly fly back to the north end bi-weekly to stay clean.

Kyle Harder

Every time I get my haircut I wish I could get a cut like I did at Boston Barber Co. These guys are the best. I've lived in NYC, Detroit, Los Angeles and nothing compares to this cut. Best in the business. I might fly back to Boston just to come hang and get a cut.

Charles Fulkerson

I randomly stumbled upon Boston Barber Co a couple of weeks back. After waiting less than five minutes I got a cut from Ricky. Let's just say he crushed it! I was sick of the same "bro cut" I've been getting since freshman year of college so I told him to give me a "2015 haircut". Less than 24 hours after the haircut I was getting a stupid amount of compliments and even met a very cute girl that weekend. Ask for Ricky when you go he will hook it up guaranteed! Emmett

Anthony Gaul

If you want a great haircut you should be going here!!! The barbers have amazing personalities and skills,, also there is a full coffee bar, nothing better than a nice latte while you wait!!

Ryan Mason

The best barber shop I’ve visited since moving to Boston. I’ve sat with most of the barbers in the shop and can honestly say they all give high quality cuts. Great shop.

Christopher Flansburg

Matt( apparently there are several) did an excellent job. Cut my hair very well. A whiskey would have been nice. But that's not Matt's fault.

Norman Rohr

Fast and accurate. Great "rock'n'roll" vibe. And the best: listening to the guys' conversations. Hilarious!

Liam LaMountain

Reasonable price, great service. Staff were all professional, friendly and fun, without being in your face or invasive. Did a great job--pre-interview haircut.

Corey Miller

Very cool place, it looks small but its huge. I got a hair cut here would recommend. You can request specific barbers.

Sammy Guy

At first, I was kind of skeptical since all these guys did as soon as I walked in was talk smack to each other. After my haircut I was amazed; they did a great job and were actually pretty fun in the meantime. I will definitely go back here.

Owen Bligh

Have had many different barbers and all give great attention to detail, listening to what you want and taking the time to get it right. Definitely not a place where they're just trying to rush through as many people as possible.

studebaker26

Super cool spot. Tattoo was clean and professional, Brian Hubis is a really good artist. Didn't get a haircut, but the guys leaving didn't look too bad.

Justin Mourt

I'm very particular about my hair and I visited this place for the first time and my barber got my style down perfectly and was quick too! Very cool place too!

Jack Miller

This is by far the best place in Boston to get your haircut. The walk-in ability is very convenient, and the atmosphere is excellent. Just go

Alexandre Kopietz Pereira

Just came out of there, got heart (kokoro) written in japanese kanji on my upper chest, almost neck, and i have a skin thing called dermographism, i literally scratched my arm to show them, everything that hits my skin leaves a massive red mark, raised, an inch or more, and the guy was amazing. He was so gentle that my skin barely got red, no bumps, bruises, anything, finished it without no problems. They asked for my consent and everything before the tattoo, due to the skin thing, and i had absolutely no problems at all. I doubt i could ever find somewhere better to go. Amazing work!

Elijah Grey

Professional and skillful staff. Quality haircuts, unbeatable price. The best barbershop in Boston's North End.

Karla Regus

Got my first tattoo with Nicole and enjoyed every sscond of it, both her and Rob are super funny. Definitely recommend and will go back!

Al Okech

Nicole is truly a tattoo God. Also everyone is very nice. I called to reschedule and Bridg REMEMBERED my name. Wild. 10/10 already planning to go again

James Silva

Super friendly staff and they did an awesome job on my haircut can't ask for anything better

Ruben Padilla

A lot of great personality here, and you really feel like you can just vent to your barber about life or just have a nice conversation with

Tyler Arnold

Talented lineup of barbers that can accomplish plenty of your hair needs. I'm eager to come back and try the tattoo portion of the shop.

Otto Warner

Been getting my hair cut here for years. It gets crowded, but there are a lot of barbers so the line moves fast, and I always get a good cut.

Atticus McDonough

Highly recommend this north end spot. Kim is the friggin best!

Josh Laroche

Amazingly skilled barbers here. Went in unsure of what I wanted, came out looking like a million bucks. Very quick service, with an amazing atmosphere.

Susy Natalia

Best place in town! Best tats, haircut, eyebrows tats, and even coffee! People are super friendly too!

Fernando DellaPorta

The best place in town for haircuts. Been going there since day one. My son will only get his haircut there.

Chris Dunn

Can't beat the price for a haircut in Boston. Well, maybe you can, but the quality isn't going to be there. These guys are professional, funny and do a damn good job.

Scotty K

Fantastic spot. Fantastic atmosphere and best cut I have gotten in a long time. Friendly staff who are helpful and will let ya know what’s what in the area.

Ric Charlton

This is a no nonsense barber shop with great barbers. Every time I go, I'm happy with the haircut and the shop has a very fun environment.

Justina

Great place for a tattoo. It also has that older Barber shop feeling. Fun atmosphere and enjoying employees to work with.

Santos Cruzado

This place is awesome,and I am def coming back! If anybody is looking for an excellent barber 💇 Ask for Chanel... She rocks 🙌 👍👌 …

paul grant

Robert and the staff are great. Robert is an outstanding barber and an even better person. Never written a review. How'd I do?

Gary Mayden

Coworker recommended this place. Barbers are great and overall great experience. 10/10 will go back.

Brandon Gagne

Good cut for $24. First time there. I got to go to the 2nd level. Interesting people, tatois going on and good vibe. I will be back.

Working with a tattoo artist for the first time is kind of like going on a first date in that you never can be sure how it will turn out. I’d been looking for a new tattoo shop (it’s more difficult than it sounds - some are too cool to reply, some too busy, some can’t do the work you are looking for etc.) I’ve been tattooed at a bunch of different shops in the area and have really loved them all …. save for one but that isn’t the point. I’d been looking and found BBTS and emailed them after looking at the artists. There was one artist I latched onto and inquired about having work done. Within a few days I got a response and they said the artist I’d chosen book was closed, but Mariya was available and they thought would be a good match for my tattoo. And oh boy was she ever!!! Anyway, we went back and forth once I sent in my references and Mariya picked up on what I was looking for and came up with a rough design I really liked. Once this was settled I came in to discuss the design and put down a deposit of $250 that would be applied to the balance of the work. (There is a parking lot down on Cooper St that you can access with Parking Whiz for not too much money and it’s a quick walk to the shop. ) I’m not sure other people’s experiences at tattoo shops but mine has always been characterized with endless waiting for the artist to show up, to finish eating, finish another customer, finish a movie, didn’t want to work that day, etc. so I was prepared to wait. But I didn’t! Mariya was ready for me the moment I walked in. She had the design on her computer which she was able to tweak with ease til it was how I liked it. We discussed options like color, black, black and grey etc and settled upon the area and style. Initially I had wanted a mongoose but as we talked we came up with a background size etc. Mariya told me it would probably be 2 appointments and she could get started in a few days!!! I was expecting weeks or even months so I was stoked. Courtney is one of the assistants at the front of the shop and she was awesome communicating and getting me set up with appointments, deposit and all aspects of communication. When I returned for my appointment Mariya was ready with the stencil and literally five minutes later we were placing the stencil and prepping the area (I came in pre-shaved to cut down on prep time). 5 hours later I had more than half the tattoo done with Mariya opting to line and shade the most sensitive parts first (ribs and diaphragm) makes sense when I think about it. She put on this second skin and I’ve never had a tattoo heal as quickly and less painfully. I got a rash from it however when I came back to finish the tattoo Mariya gave me the old fashioned cling wrap and that worked just as well but without the rash. When I had my second appointment I got a call from Gavin at the shop saying there was a 1/2 hour delay and would I mind coming in a bit later. I thought it was very courteous of them to call me and not waste my time having me wait there. Bonus! By the time I arrived Mariya was ready for me and I was back on the table in minutes getting the piece finished. I was so psyched with the tattoo and how Mariya was able to integrate it with the cobra I had on my shoulder. I’ve posted a pic. As you see it’s large ish and this was taken just as she finished so it’s a bit swollen but actually not bad when you consider the amount of detail etc. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the banter of clients and artists. Very supportive and open and just positive energy to spare. I was getting tattooed during one of their walk in flash days and it was busy. Courtney and Gavin were awesome handling phones, inquires and walk ins. Heck Gavin even offered to get me a coffee… I highly recommend Mariya (but I’m sure all the artists are great) and Boston Barber and Tattoo. Having lived and worked in the North End years ago it was really great to get coffee at Polcaris, pastry at Bova’s and a tattoo from BBTS. For my next tattoo I’ll be coming back to Mariya!
