Highly recommended! Kevin is really good and listens to what you want. Great combination of price and service.

UPDATE: Very good social distancing/pandemic policies. Temp checks and sanitizer, have to wait outside for appointments until called, large dividers between distanced seats, and all masking all the time. Shayne and Deep Blue Barber shop is a gem. The place is nice and minimalistic in a very thoughtful way. The scheduling online and electronic payment options are great. Shayne uses great products and always takes care of his razors. His neck shaves are a delight, and if I needed a neck shave or was up for a old school or hipster cut I would have no hesitations he'd get it right. I appreciate that he allows the options to schedule a 15 minute perimeter trim for low mulah. Shayne is professional and has taken great care to fill his shop only when a great barber such as himself will saddle up in one of the two chairs beside him. Hours are good and location is nice. read more

I've been coming to Shayne and Deep Blue for over four years and I've had a great experience each and every time.  In previous cities I've lived in, it's taken multiple attempts to find a barber I can trust and rely on but thanks to Shayne, my experience in Boston has been so much smoother.  Shayne also helped me figure out a new and much improved hair style and gave me a lot of great tips on different options and products that worked for my thick unruly Asian hair.  As a result, I've even learned a lot of new things about my own hair and how to better take care of it. The online scheduling has also been a huge convenience and even makes rescheduling easy.  Anytime rescheduling has been required, calls have been timely and the process has been easy. I also love the overall decor and feel of the place as well.   I not only would recommend Deep Blue, but actually already have.  And all my friends who've gone have had similarly great experiences! They've also done a great job of handling the pandemic. read more

Easily the best barbershop I've ever been to in my life. Paul is the man! Does a phenomenal job, a true professional through and through. Craftsmanship here is top notch, not your typical buzz with a "bit off the top." Do yourself a favor and try it out! read more

Awesome! I did big transformation hair cut and turned out great. Went really short after years of really long hair! I chose to go there than going to a salon cause it's just much better! I don't like the salon culture and all the salon talk and honestly, I trusted a Barber with short hair much more! Shayna cut my hair and it came out great! read more

Deep Blue Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

A great place to get a cool haircut, no matter what your definition of cool may be. Easy online booking, friendly, young barbers, and totally judgement free. I've gotten haircuts from pretty much all the barbers here and they don't disappoint. Book a few weeks ahead: weekends fill up fast! read more

I've been here a few times and love Shayna and she always does just what I ask for and is easy to ask questions when I'm not sure! If your hair is long and you want to donate it, they have a partnership with a charity as well. My boyfriend comes here too and goes to Paul and agrees that he always does exactly what he wants (well, I think there was one time he thought it was too short, but the next day he thought it was good). They've also got nice products that they'll use for you to try out and most of them I haven't seen in stores. read more

A very long overdue review but I've had about 4-5 haircuts from Shayne and I have absolutely no regrets. Shayne is a really down-to-earth person who not only cuts great hair but is also great for conversations. I'm quite picky with my barbers because it's hard to find someone who can handle straight flat Asian hair. I've had several embarrassing cuts at other places because of this. But Shayne understood my concern and executed the cut flawlessly. I usually go for a sort of undercut and let the top grow to the sides kind of like a curtain hairstyle. Anyways, Shayne is certainly the best barber I've had so far and I'm sad that I'll be leaving Boston and this barber shop! As for Covid precautions, the shop does a fantastic job to manage reservations, socially distance, and require masks. Felt very comfortable during my cut. read more

Shayne has been my tremendously awesome barber for about a year now and he's done a fantastic job. I've been experimenting with different looks and lengths and he has given me not only the great cuts, but also supported me on how to style and maintain my newly grown-out hair. (My wife also approves!) I also enjoy the chit-chat and banter we have during my sessions. Shayne and Deep Blue are HIGHLY recommended! read more

This place has the best customer service, best cuts, and most comfortable experience in the Boston area. My boy Paul does an excellent job every time, he's quick, he's extremely good at what he does, and he's a great dude. You can't go wrong with these guys, take it from someone who is very critical and picky, they are awesome. read more

Shayne is a fantastic barber! Since moving to Brookline 2 years ago, I have been seeing him regularly and never had anything less than a great cut. He does great work with clippers and shears to give me the best haircut I could ask for. I really appreciate the consistent quality that he provides. He is very personable and genuine, which makes the experience all the better. Barber chair banter is easy and as you can see from the other reviews on here for him, his genuine attitude is appreciated. When I first started going, there was over a month wait to get an appointment. Getting an appointment with him was totally worth the wait. He is in high demand due to his high quality. I recommend that you book an appointment with him. read more

I've been going here for about 2 years now. I don't have a preference for barbers here, all 3 are great! It's a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for in atmosphere and service. The barbers are all knowledgeable and helpful, and always happy to chat (or not if you're having one of those days). You'll probably need an appointment, but their online scheduling system is very easy and convenient. read more

I highly recommend Paul. My son has incredibly thick coarse hair and I specifically mentioned how difficult his hair is to cut. Paul said he could definitely handle it no problem. We gave it a shot and this is the 1st cut in 15 years that he hasn't complained after! Thanks Paul! read more

Shayna's great but Eddie's not ready for prime time. Eddie didn't take direction well. He cut my hair SO SHORT I WON'T NEED ANOTHER CUT UNTIL THANKSGIVING. But it will look decent in a few months. I look like I'm on chemo until then. read more

Eddie is immature and lacks a certain common sense. When I got to my appointment I asked "Is it ok if I run to the restroom quickly" (I have a medical condition), to which he responded "I guess so..." (who even says that?). He proceeded to rush through my haircut, clumsily and unapologetically bumping me in the face with clippers and comb. When his next appointment showed up ~10 minutes early, he became visibly anxious and hurriedly "finished" my cut, leaving me with a trapezoidal shaped mushroom cut, that I haven't rocked since I was a kid in the 90's. When I asked him if he could take some off the sides and even out the fade (isn't that the point of a fade-blending?) he said his next client was here and there was nothing he could do. There are many, many ways to address this situation in a mature way (e.g., asking the next client to wait a few extra minutes, seeing if a coworker could finish up my cut or take the next customer while Eddie finished mine etc., etc.). Eddie did none of these things and instead blamed me for the incident in front of the entire shop saying it was my fault because I needed to use the restroom at the beginning of the appointment. Paul (not Eddie) then called me minutes after the appointment offering to fix the cut. No apology or acknowledgement from Eddie. (Paul was great, but unfortunately I'm done with this establishment for obvious reasons) Seeing others' comments on here shows me I'm not alone in feeling as though Eddie is unprofessional. It's really too bad, because the shop is cool, Paul is great, and Shayna seems super reasonable, but Eddie just brings bad energy into that entire space. read more

Paul's been cutting my hair for several years. He's always on time and gives me a consistently great haircut. Highly recommend!

The true measure of the quality of a cut is its appearance after few days. This is particularly true for short cuts. As my hair grew out, the disjointed and unstructured results began to emerge. And it's all the more disappointing given the relatively high price charged. The fade I'd get at the hair stylist in the basement of the MIT COOP was superior, and half the price. So, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Could it be the decor and semblance of authenticity? Not sure, but needless to say, I'm not returning. read more

Fantastic atmosphere great barber, Shayna is good company and more importantly a talented stylist, she delivered exactly what I asked for. 10 out of 10! read more

Went in about 3 weeks ago - I promised I'd write up a review on Yelp before I came back in, so here we go! I got a haircut from Shayna, and walked in not entirely sure what I wanted to do with my hair. I had some ideas, and bounced a few off her. I originally thought I wanted a quiff, and she then schooled me on what it was, and why I most likely didn't want one (she was right) - that was the first indication that she knew what she was doing, and equally as important, cares about her clientele. She hooked it up with undoubtedly the best haircut I've gotten, finishing up with a straight razor finish on the back of the neck. Three weeks later, it has grown out a bit, but still looks and feels great. The conversation was easy and light (most barbers are gruff and stand-offish in my past experience), and she taught me a lot about styling my hair, too. At $27, it's a no brainer. Sure, you COULD go to Supercuts, but.. Then you'd be going to Supercuts. All in all, its the best spot around for a haircut. If you want an excellent cut from and excellent barber (you do), Check out Deep Blue - just don't take my appointment spot! read more

When I moved to Brookline about 2 years ago, it was hard to find a barber shop that I could consistently rely on to deliver a great cut, but my search certainly ended when I went to the studio and then the barber shop when it opened up. Shayna's really a very talented barber, and one of the first things that stands out is her attention to detail and how she truly listens to her clients. She's very personable, and I was blown away by how much she remembered from our first conversation--it had been a while between my first and second cut. When you're sitting in that chair, you truly feel like you have Shayna's full and undivided attention, and whenever there has been a big event coming up in my life in which I want to look my best--a big job interview or my best friend's wedding--I have gone to Deep Blue Barber Shop. Shayna has delivered a great cut without fail each time. read more

You will see that I rarely write reviews, but am so disappointed in how i was just treated that i felt compelled to. I will start off by saying that Paul gives me a good haircut. I just showed up for an appointment that i had scheduled as a "buzzcut" through their online system, not realizing it made any difference at all once i showed up there. I could not find a normal haircut since every haircut option had a "plus XXX" (i didn't see the "Barber haircut" option) I showed up and was told that i can't receive a haircut because the alotted time difference is 10 minutes. I have short men's hair that takes no more than 15 minutes to cut, most of it is done with a buzzer. I often think about the fact that it costs me $30 for a less than 15 minute haircut, but that's besides the point. I left work, drove to this barber, and was told I could reschedule for another day. I asked him if he could make an exception for an honest mistake that in all honesty would not have impacted anyone given the minimal difference in time and was just ignored. I have been a customer of Paul's for years. I have never shown up for anything but a haircut. The fact that he couldn't accommodate me was shocking, and incredibly disappointing. You would think that your local barber may have a relationship with you and cut you a break after years of being a customer and good tips...What a crappy way to treat someone. I hope the owners read this and help him become more human. read more

Yes!! Shayna rocks!! I found this place though someone else who said she was awesome and YUP! Completely what I was looking for! A barber who does good work, shaves the neck clean, sick fade, makes sure your good with the Barb! Made an appointment online on their website (super easy) great price too! Thank you!! I'll be coming back definitely!! read more

Excellent service and professional haircut from Paul. Online booking thru Yelp app available and easy. I've become a regular of this modern-retro barbershop. It's somehow simultaneously old-fashioned and hip. Classic Pinaud Clubman Talc and Pixies on the sound system. Righteous! read more

First timer at Deep Blue today. I received a great cut from Paul. He took his time, was attentive and skilled at what he does. The online booking was simple and convenient. Paul and Shayna were both nice and the shop was clean. read more

Shayna is great! I've been going here for 7 or 8 months now and I've never been disappointed. I usually change my style a little each time and Shayna is always accommodating and helpful. Plus her fades are excellent! Great spot. read more

Shayna did a great job on my hair today! This barber shop is a short walk from the green line, has a parking lot, and offers both online appointments & walk-ins. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Great place for a haircut. The girl shayna is super talented. If you can't decide where to go, come by and guarantee you'll be happy.

I started coming here because it was the nearest barber open on Sundays, but have kept coming for the great cuts and shaves. Paul takes his time to make sure the cut looks good and grows in right. His shaves are also the best I've had from any barber in any city that I've lived in, not to mention the complimentary face massage that comes with the shave (which doesn't get weird or uncomfortable at all, for the record). read more

Have been coming here for almost 9 months now. Shayna does a perfect and precise job every time; she actually pays attention to my hair and spends proper time making sure it looks right. Well-priced and free parking, too. Don't forget to bring cash for your tip. read more

I usually go to the salon, but with the salon closed for vacation this past week, I decided to try to get a walk-in appointment at the barber shop. Overall, I was very pleased. Happy with the haircut and Shayna (sp.?) was very friendly. While I was there, Shayna was telling me about their shave services and I'm definitely going to have to try that out next time around - it sounds like quite the experience. read more

Best haircut ever!! I tried Deep Blue on a suggestion from my wife that loves the other location . The same stylist has been cutting my hair for many years so I was a little skeptical but wanted a change and change I got. One half hour later Shayna transformed me with this Amazing fade it is a bit edgy and youthful. I love it!!! Great space, great overall experience. read more

After looking through all the reviews, I figured I should try out Deep Blue Barbershop. I made an appointment online which was super easy and I was greeted with Shayna when I came in. She was very nice and started my appointment on time. There is a reason why everyone gave this place 5 stars. It's because Shayna actually listens to what you want. Even though the description I gave her for the haircut I wanted was confusing, Shayna figured out what I wanted and gave me the perfect cut. She took her time and paid attention to the closest details, while still having a conversation with me. To put the icing on the cake, she gives you a razor shave on the back of the neck and styles your hair at the end. I will definitely come back to Deep Blue Barbershop for another haircut. read more

I've gotten haircuts, bald fades and shaves from both Shayna and Paul for over two years and they are both highly skilled and very friendly. I make sure to come to them every time I'm in Boston even though I have now moved across the country. Shayna never disappoints with fades and Paul is a master with the shaves. There is parking in the back if your drive but they are also near public transportation. The shop is very clean and tidy and I do recommend the shop for anyone as they are very welcoming, and have the skills for the cut you want. The online appointment booker is easy to use which makes it hassle free. read more

Deep Blue is wonderful. My son is on the autism spectrum so just being there is a battle. Hugh has been great and understanding and so helpful. And the haircuts have been awesome!! read more

I've been going for about a year now. Shayna's cuts have been amazing and consistent. I would 100% recommend to a friend!

I've been trying to find a good barber shop in the area and Deep Blue and Shayna have something good going here. First, I can go online and make a reservation. That's huge! Even those big, cut you up places don't have this. Then when I go in, Shayna will cut my carefully sculpt my hair into a masterpiece. She has also provided some great tips on how I can change things up, when asked. read more

Great barber shop located near the Brookline Public Library. I've been going here for the past 6 months and it's by far the best haircut I've gotten in the area. Deep Blue values traditional barber techniques, something that is lacking in the Brookline Village area. Shayna takes pride in what she does and gives a killer fade (not to mention a straight razor finish on the neck and side burns). I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a barber shop where you actually get what you pay for. read more

Came here for the first time today and I already love it. Got a great haircut. Really friendly staff!

I'm so happy I found this place - the online scheduling is super convenient and Shayna is awesome. I've never been great at describing what kind of haircut I want, but I just gave some generalities the first time I went and Shayna came up with exactly the kind of cut that fit me. I had been going to other more 'old-school' type barber shops in the area, and was never too happy with the results (would constantly have to wait a week or so for it to start growing back in before I was comfortable with my hair...) But every time I've gone to Shayna so far I've been immediately pleased with how it looked. I HIGHLY recommend this place and Shayna in particular (I'm sure Paul is great too, just haven't gone with him yet!) She's also really comfortable and easy to be around- chatting/conversation is always one of those weird things when it comes to getting your hair cut, but it's never awkward or uncomfortable with her. They take credit cards for payment, but you can only tip in cash, so keep that in mind- always tip your barber! Also- the pricing is extremely reasonable compared to other places in the area. read more

Love my haircut!! I've been searching for a barber who knows how to cut my hair and I finally found one. my fade is perfect and the top is exactly the length I wanted. shayna was so friendly and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be back. read more
