    Fantastic experience from the top down. Great space- clean, big, friendly atmosphere. Fantastic barbers. I have known the owner Izzy for 20 years and he is a fantastic barber and person. If you're looking for a great haircut, and great conversation, this is the place for you! Will never go anywhere else. This new space makes the great experience even better!

    Old school hot shave is great! Clean, refreshing and smooth shave. Love having a local barber who still offers this service.

    Perfect! The haircut was very good in quality and he didn't waste any time. The price is also unbeatable.

    I had the pleasure of stopping in to Eddie's barber shop a few weeks ago when business brought me…read moreto Cambridge. I moved out of Boston a long time ago, but as someone born in Cambridge, it was a trip down memory lane. My father grew up around the corner and started coming here when he was very young and when I was old enough, he brought me here, too. Heck, my two brothers got their haircut here as well - for decades. Eddie always gave a solid haircut and a very good straight razor shave, so I was excited to see he was still in business when I rolled into town needing a beard trim and a back of the neck shave. The inside of the place is old school barber shop. It still has the same interior as did in the 1980's - probably that way looked the 60's and 70's, too. Anyway, the beard trim was excellent. Eddie is a real practitioner of his trade. He took his time and made sure it was a job done right. He also cleaned up the sides of my head with the scissors and cleaned up my neck with a straight razor with precision. If you live in the Central Square area and want an excellent, no-nonsense haircut, shave or beard trim, head on over to Eddie Priest.

    I had a somewhat bizarre experience at Alexander Salon a while ago and forgot to post my review so…read moredoing it belatedly! In summary: even if it's a bit chaotic, stick with it for a phenomenal haircut. Alexander Salon has a very warm friendly atmosphere, but it was very busy (supplemented by the dog running around!). I had an appointment with Nader, and when I arrived, the receptionist immediately washed my hair. I was a bit confused because I had not had any kind of consultation about my hair type or desired cut, but I stuck with it. I then had to wait, and Nader came by a few times to apologize for running late. After about 15 min, we spoke briefly about what I wanted and he cut my hair--as other reviews shared it was a real show with scissor flourishes and spins. The actual haircut was very fast and then Nader said that other hairdressers would blow dry my hair while he moved on to other clients. What proceeded was three different stylists each came by, blew dry parts of my hair before being called away to do another task, leaving my hair half-dried and hanging in round brushes until the next one showed up. Finally one man finished up and after Nader was done filming what looked like a before/after transformation for instagram with another client, he came by for a finishing touch. During the experience I was pretty doubtful and while everyone was polite, it wasn't the smoothest customer service experience. I didn't realize Nader was handling multiple clients at the same time and with all the hairdryers leaving mid-service it felt like I wasn't important enough to receive anyone's full attention. However, my hair looked incredible, the blow out lasted for a full week, and my hair continued to look incredible after washing and regardless of whether I curled or straightened it. I've never received so many compliments and almost a year later, now in a different state, I'm looking at photos of that haircut as a reference. This may have been an unusually busy day so grain of salt. But, overall, if you're looking for the classic bouncy layered haircut with face-framing pieces this is your place!! Just be prepared for a bit of chaos.

    I hadn't gotten a professional haircut in 10 years after a few bad ones and I'm so glad I finally…read moredecided to get one at this salon!! Birkan was fantastic, he worked fast without rushing and is very good at what he does. I got a blowout at the end that held up so well after snow + wind + sleeping and am obsessed with how the haircut turned out. Would definitely recommend!

My haircut is simple, easy, and fast. anyone could have taken 3 inches off and especially were I was coming in with it already washed and ready to go. I'd even asked if there was someone else there willing. Manager seemed very unimpressed with the efforts I made to be there on time and unsympathetic to my circumstances. maybe they figured they weren't gonna make bank off of a haircut, however I'm a great tipper. They canceled it because the hairstylist took on a color re-correction, but I'm such an easy cut I feel like they could have respected my time and effort to be there and cut while the color was processing. they simply didn't care for my business and thought a simple cut wasn't worth their time. Fortunately I did reach out to another salon and after I explained my circumstances they squeezed me in. They were apologetic for the other salons mistreatment and showed me wonderful customer service. I'm a simple haircut, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't make good money off of it. Believe me the hairstyle willing to fit me in and sympathize with the circumstance of being a mom of four will be tipped big time and have a loyal customer. this wasn't just a fail of the hairstylist Addie but the salon as a whole.
