Best haircut I've had in a long time--highly recommend. Todd is not only incredibly professional,…read morebut just an all-around great guy. The conversation is easy and laid-back, and you walk out looking your absolute best. My hair and beard have honestly never looked better. I also want to add something that really speaks to his character. During my appointment, I had a full-on panic attack due to personal reasons. Todd handled the situation with genuine professionalism, and kindness, making sure I was okay every step of the way--then still delivered an amazing haircut. That kind of care and composure says everything about who he is, both as a barber and as a person.

I had been a customer of another barber shop in town (small town, you probably know it), and am…read moregrateful to have found Todd's last year. At the other shop, I received good service but never felt like they nailed the style since I didn't know what I wanted. Todd coached me through some style vocabulary at my first appointment, and I've been increasingly satisfied with my cuts now that I know how to ask. "Bald fade crew cut, blend the back and sides but leave the top a little long. Whitewall the ears." Couple tips-- If you're tying to find your style, book the unisex custom and ask Todd which styles he recommends for your face shape. Remember that appointments are short, so be prepared to commit to something. I've tried a few styles that I didn't feel fully suited me, and learned something each time. Ask Todd about something interesting and see where the conversation goes. Not only is Todd a skilled barber, he is also a master conversationalist. I've talked about the pros and cons of keto diet, the origins of modern bread making yeast, the Darwinian evolution of our species, and more. Don't be shy to start a random conversation while Todd is in his groove. I always come away with something valuable. If you need a specific time, book in advance. Appointments tend to fill up back-to-back and it can be tricky to get one if your schedule only has a few windows during the week. The positive thing is that you get to interact with the other people booked ahead/after you. Good atmosphere with the other guys in the shop. This review felt important to write, because I was looking to recommend Todd to a friend and saw some distasteful reviews. I want to say my experience has been only positive, and his cuts have helped me both personally and professionally. Waylon Middlesex VT

Highly recommend!

I've been to Off-the-Top once, on the recommendation of a friend who got a really fresh haircut…read morethere. I was a little bit nervous about it, since in the past I've had pretty bad experiences with old-school barbers. Something about the way my hair grows, I guess, but I always feel like I come out looking like a twelve-year-old. Not at Off-the-Top. At Off-the-Top, I got the best haircut I've had in years, and for a very reasonable price (less than $20). The place is in this awful strip mall just a block outside of downtown Barre, and it's no frills (all good signs in a barber shop, I feel like). There's a good amount of Red Sox and other Boston sports memorabilia on one of the walls. Signed photo of Larry Bird. Some places like this, you feel like maybe you shouldn't be there if you're not a regular. Not at Off-the-Top. At Off-the-Top, they treat you courteously even if they're a little laconic. That, again, is something that I think indicates you're about to have a first-rate haircutting experience. If you're like me, and you're a little uncomfortable making small talk with slow, steady workers, you might find yourself getting a little nervous with all the silence. Do yourself a favor and hearken back to your childhood, or even before that. Imagine a time when men were men, and they all got kickass haircuts from proud, quiet barbers with thick necks and immaculate white-on-white sneakers. Listen to the music. At lots of haircut places (barbers, salons, etc), you hear a lot of loud top-40 or sort of dancey, thumpy stuff that keeps the employees going. Not at Off-the-Top. At Off-the-Top you're going to listen to classic rock played out of a ca. 1993 panasonic radio/cassette player, but not too loud. You already know all the words anyway. You'll also enjoy listening to the delicate precision of the scissors as your head is transformed into an immaculate model of what a haircut should, ideally, look like. I'm not sure how much of a choice you really get w/r/t style, but after you tell the guy vaguely (with lots of halting hand gestures) what you're looking for, he sits you down, reaches into your imagination, furrows his brow and knocks on it in a few places (as one might a finicky appliance), IMPROVES YOUR THOUGHTS, and then executes them. At some places, you'd call that a win. Not at Off-the-Top. At Off-the-Top, you get all the above, PLUS this guy is going to shave around your ears with the straight razor. You think you look fresh with that $30 Burlington haircut? Did the guy use a straight razor? Did he smoke a pack a day for five decades first? This is going to change your life, and you're going to stride out of that linoleum-lined hallway into the hazy heat of Barre in August feeling like a prince. Even better, you'll feel like a man. N.B. Men pay in cash.
