    Always a quality cut, and nice friendly staff

    Negatives:  small waiting area and not a huge fan of the sat walk in hours

    My husband and I went to Milton Barbershop again today.  It is truly fabulous.  Kevin did our hair today.  Like Big Gay Al and Jennifer, he is great.  It was especially sweet to see how Kevin, a well muscled bodybuilder, was so kind and good with the haircut of a little boy who was clearly afraid.  Kevin made the little boy laugh and the boy clearly had a great time.
    As usual, our haircuts were top-notch and the staff were fabulous.  I would sit on those hard seats anyday!  Heck, it makes you think of ancient Sparta and the beautiful young men who lived there when you sit on those seats!
    MILTON BARBERSHOP ROCKS!

    Wow.  I have never had a good time getting a haircut before!  Kevin did a great job as well cutting my hair.  I've had some bad experiences before getting my hair cut (see past reviews of other places) but the Milton Barber Shop is a keeper.  Al is absolutely hilarious.  I will definitely be back again and again.

    Some things to note about this place:

    1.  Make an appointment during the week if you need your cut then.
    2.  Saturday's are on a first come, first serve basis.  No appointments.
    3.  They tend to do men's cuts only.  Sorry ladies.

    Why are you still reading this?  You should be calling there if you need a cut!

    I'm a little hesitant to write a review, because I'm afraid to let the secret out.  But what the heck, we can't all be so selfish.  What you get at The Milton Barber Shop is a Newbury Street cut at a fraction of the cost and without the parking hassle.  Al, the owner, spent many years honing his craft in Boston's Back Bay and has built a loyal following.  Be prepared to wait on Saturdays when it's walk-ins only, so it's first come-first serve.  Appointments are only taken during the week.    Either way, it's a great cut for a great price, making it a great value.

    I just wanted to write an update in regards to Milton Barber Shop.

    Right after my review, I received a call from the owner Al, he left a message on my voice mail. I returned his call promptly, and discussed my feelings, and how I arrived at my opinion.

    Al was a stand up guy, he came across as sincere and a very conscientious business owner. He offered me a free house haircut, which was quite a nice gesture.

    I want to reach out to the kid that cut my hair, and state that from what I heard from Al, that he is going to be quite a good barber.

    The only thing I will say, is that's how I felt on that particular day, and like an umpire, I called it how I saw it.

    Went to Milton Barber Shop and came away very happy.  Got a cut from Sal and he was very friendly and listened to what I had to say about how I wanted my hair cut.  MBS is by appointment only during the week (walk-ins on Saturdays, no appointments), which is good since you know you'll sit down right away and can predict how long you'll be in/out.  You also don't feel as though your cut is going to be rushed since they book in 1/2 hour increments and a traditional haircut should be finished in much less time.  

    As far as pricing goes, pretty standard $16 for a regular mens cut, $3 extra if you want a wash.  Good deal in my opinion since I've spent more than that and come away disappointed at a lot of places.

    The shop was clean and bright, and right in East Milton.  The shop is a little hard to find, but is just to the right of the Starbucks.

    I've been getting my hair cut in the North End for the past couple of years and I've officially made the switch to Milton Barber Shop and plan on making this my regular spot.
