I am going to describe my experience, hopefully this will be helpful: 1. Haircuts are by appointment only. No more walk-ins. 2. Charlie takes a number of excellent and well needed precautions, including checking your temperature, giving you hand sanitizer upon entry. 3. Masks stay on for both you and the barber. 4. Charlie sanitizes your chair, the barber 'tools' 5. There was one other person getting a haircut, who was seated 3 chairs down (well beyond the 6 feet recommendation). I was comforted by all the precautions. Despite all the changes, one thing remains the same: Charlie's excellent haircut.

He's straight-up one of the nicest people you'll meet maybe in all of Boston and man, he's an expert when it comes to hair. I came in with an open-ended request (short, make it look good) and he gave me his ideas about what would look best. When he was finished, I was very very happy with it. He can make your hair look casual, make it look professional, make it look hip. I've come here every two months for the last 3 years. I've tried nearly every barbershop in the Harvard Square area - this one is by far the best. It's also a super fair price, only $20-$25 after factoring in tip. Definitely give it a try if you're a student.

Custom is your traditional barbers' shop - kinda hidden away, narrow with about 4 chairs and a small waiting area at the back. Old school wood paneling, which is covered with pennants from all the Boston championships since the turn of the millennium to give it some character. I've had my hair cut by 2 guys (maybe 3, I forget!) and they all do a good job. The owner (I guess) gave the best cut, but he always seems to be busy: all the old fellas wait until he's free, rather than taking an available chair. The price just went up by $1 to $16, so last my cut cost $20 including tip, rather than the $18 I used to give, but still affordable and better than going to a Supercuts. Cash only, so make sure you hit an ATM before sitting down.

Anyway, I was really impressed with how it turned out. The price isn't bad considering the staff have plenty of years of experience. You're paying for excellence so you know you're getting a good deal. They have real talent there which is incredibly hard to come by, especially in the city. Whatever the occasion is, I would come here. It's perhaps the one place that can guarantee you a decent haircut.

Asked for a low skin fade, specifying I wanted the fade to begin level with the bottom of my ears. Barber proceeded to obliterate any trace of hair up to the top. After the barber spent a good 45 minutes absolutely devastating my hair, he then smiled and asked me for $40. I would genuinely recommend you take your chances with a Manscaped in the mirror over going here again. In all fairness, the other barbers might be competent. But dude furthest from the door will never see me again.

He always takes the time to get it just right, checks in throughout, and somehow remembers exactly how I like it even months later.

Whether it's a quick cleanup or a full restyle, he nails it every time. Highly recommend Eddie at Dente's if you're looking for a reliable, high-quality barber in Somerville. You'll walk out feeling fresh every time.

But I figured I should call and verify. So today when I called I wasn't booked any where in the system. In fact the stylist I want was booked with is booked with someone else at 11. And the website, today, has her listed as being available today. So I asked of course, but no she never works Sundays. I'm a little concerned, especially after reading these reviews. I want a fade, so if it gets messed up, there likely won't be much to work with, right? I'm 72 yo on a very strict budget so can't afford to fool around trying to go elsewhere if tomorrow goes wrong. Any words of advice out there?
