Loved the haircuts my boys got, but the price was kind of a shock for a kids' cut - $23! Maybe that's the normal going rate for kids haircuts post-COVID, but after reading reviews of people paying $12-16 here, I'm wondering about that price hike. read more

A great haircut. I highly recommend Denise for men's haircut. Overall, excellent experience.

Denise was excellent in her service, kind enough to accommodate me as it was closing time and my first walk-in visit. She was patient in understanding the hair-cut I needed, suggested some options to improve the preferred style and did a thorough clean haircut without rushing it!! By the way, some great conversations and shared insights on some healthy food and coffees. Also was diligent in following the covid-19 rules ! Definitely be back for my next hair-cut. read more

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! read more

A great haircut for a great price! This place was highly recommended by friends and today I drove almost two hours to get there and it was worth every minute in traffic! The place is tinny, but nice and cozy, and I was promptly saluted by Donna when I walked in for my appointment, who also listened to all my requests and even took her time to look at some pictures I brought to show what kind of hair I wanted. She was right on and within minutes I had the haircut I wanted! Hot lather and razor shave on the back of the neck, like I've been looking for years! I will definitely be back and recommend it to all my friends! Way to go Milton Barber Shop! read more

My whole life I searched for a barber who could master my thick hair, and these guys did it better than anybody. Kevin, in particular, gave the best cuts I've ever had, and I had many, many people say the same. Unfortunately, I recently moved out of the area, and wish I could've moved this place with me. I will never find a barber as personable as Kevin, no doubt about it. Highly recommended. read more

I've been bouncing around places trying to find someone who can get my boys who have crazy cowlicks hair properly. After a couple of friends recommended Jen at Milton Barber Shop I thought I'd give it a try. She is wonderful with them and really takes her time. I had a really bad hair cut experience with my one son and was panicking when I was driving around only to find all these barbershops closed. I called milton barbershop and I believe it was Joanne who answered. She told me they closed in 5 min but she would wait for me. I was so thankful to her because she was able to fix my sons awful haircut. They're always accommodating and friendly. read more

I went for the first time. I asked to "clean it up", I got a very short haircut. I think cleaning it up with sissors was too difficult, she used the electric device. Nice person but did not come close to my request. read more

This is a good barber shop in Milton Centre. It's a little far from where I live and so always needed to drive. Parking, which is starting to become tight, is available on Adams and side streets. There is always a wait as it is busy. This is especially so on weekends, which is when I am usually free. I have had good haircuts here. I've primarily had Denise, and she is good. I've also had Kevin (I think--he's the only guy). It's cash only but there is a Bank of America ATM next door. Milton Barber Shop is definitely worth a try and I would definitely come back. For me the convenience factor (getting there and parking) is most important all things being equal. read more

Denise and Carly cut both of my daughters' hair last week. Great little place and the kindest women ever, the girls felt very comfortable there. Also a fair price. Would definitely bring them there again. read more

Always a quality cut, and nice friendly staff Negatives: small waiting area and not a huge fan of the sat walk in hours read more

This is the best barber shop in Milton. Jennifer does an amazing job, and pays close attention to detail. The prices cant be beat either. Definitely worth the visit. read more

I've been coming here for a couple of years and I am a big fan. I have had a cut from each of the employees and all are great. They do kids cuts too. read more

Kevin is a good barber and a nice person. It is not easy to get appointments on short notice. I wish we could make appointments on weekends. read more

I popped in without an appointment. I only waited 2-3 minutes before Jennifer was available. My first haircut there was a great success. Jennifer did a quick and perfect trim. There were tons of regulars who have been going for a very long time. Nice clean, comfortable place with parking on the street or in the Milton Market parking lot. Highly recommended. read more

I saw this on yelp and decided to give it a try for my son. Came a month ago after work, but was told they have no spots left. I went again today (made appointment before). Kevin was doing the cut. He was great with him and did a a great job. We'll be coming back! read more

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. I read more

After reading all the great reviews and having family members recommend this business to my boyfriend, it's disappointing for him to show up on Saturday and have the door locked 45 minutes before closing time. They supposedly close at 1, as the business hours on the door says, but had their doors locked at 12:15. He finally had an employee answer the door for him, and they said they were closing early (doors were locked at 12:15) because they "had things to do." Very disappointed and probably won't try this place out again. read more

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. read more

Well, you'll go for a haircut and stay for the floorshow. Kevin, Jennifer, and Al are a lot of fun. It's my new favorite place to go. I only wish my hair would grow faster so I could go more often. read more

Cut are usually fine, but closing the door 30 minutes early today. I need consistency especially hours of operation

My regular barbershop for at least the last seven years. Proprietor is Jennifer Toldness, with stylists Kevin, Denice, Donna. Former owner was Alan, who moved-on to NYC. My regular barber is now Kevin, but I have had haircuts from all and they are all great! M-F by appointment, and Saturdays until 1pm "the stampede". Adults $18, boys/girls $14. Try it, you'll like it. I guarantee it! Description of work: Great haircut for a great price! Newberry Street Boston at a Milton price! read more

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. read more

Make sure you double check six times before going if they are going to be open or not. I called at 1130 to see if they would be open and they told me "yes walk-ins all day until 1". I arrived at 1158; doors locked and no answer on the phone. Thanks for wasting my time. Will not go back; too many other options. read more

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! read more

Great haircut for a great price! Very small barbershop and you can easily miss it from the street while driving but it is worth the extra effort to find. Hot lather and straight razor shave on the back of the neck. read more

Love the haircut I got! The place is awesome and the owner is super friendly as well!

This place is small, so definitely make an appointment. Was a little nervous trying a new place, but am very happy with the result. I received a fantastic cut and beard trim at a truly affordable price. read more

So I got a hair cut last week but had broke my phone and could not yelp from the barber chair. We had the conversation if they read the comments on yelp!! Which they DO! (HI!!) ...... ok that was gay. Anyways great service and excellent conversation. I walked in during busy day and was able to get in with out an appointment. Love that!! Not big on hair appointments. Deff recommend this barber shop and obj yah Starbucks is right next door! read more

I brought my 18 month old son for a haircut here after both of us being traumatized by "Snip It's" a few times. Denise cut his hair and, while he was NOT happy to be getting a haircut, she was so patient. His cut looks GREAT despite the struggle he gave. read more

Fantastic, personality and style meet friendly and welcoming. Newbury style with Milton appeal. No attitudes, lots of laughs and Al & Jenn are great. read more

Denise was OUTSTANDING! I couldn't ask more from a barber. She took some time to discuss what I wanted, and during the cut she gave me some styling tips and was just pleasant to be around in general! Affordable, yet not rushed, and in a great location! Wish I could give her 6 stars! read more

Always super friendly and relaxed, Jen and the other barbers are current, fun and most importantly very accomplished. I always leave with a great cut and a few good stories. read more

Denise is an artist- she discusses your ideas and then does a superb job. Great barber shop in a great and safe location with plenty of vibe. Right next to Abbey Lane restaurant. read more

I Recently moved back to the Boston area and returned to Milton Barber after ~6 year hiatus and was thrilled to find that not much had changed. Everyone is very friendly and down to earth. Kevin gave me an awesome haircut. $16 bucks for the kind of service and cut at Milton Barber is a steal. read more

Milton Barber Shop was recommended by someone I know who said to go to Al. Well apparently Al sold the shop to one of the women about a year ago. I went a few weeks ago on a Saturday and only waited 5 mins. By luck of the draw, I got Denise (she was available). Very pleasant and took her time. It came out a fair amount shorter than I wanted (took 4 weeks to grow back), but overall it was still a decent haircut. The price is still $16 which is good. Shop was clean (very small, but nice). read more

I've been to a lot of barbershops in the Boston area, and this one is by far my favorite! I always go to Donna, but all of the barbers here seem to do a great job. The staff is super friendly, the shop is clean, and the prices are very reasonable. $18 for a great haircut! Once I find a place I like, I stick to it and I have no reason to go anywhere else! read more

I went there today to get a fade, was praying for a good haircut seeing that half the barbers around cannot fade really well they either leave lines on it never turns out the way i like it! WAS I SHOCKED! although i did not have an appointment sal was promptly at my service taking time out of his busy schedule to fit me in! great customer service satisfaction! not even the best part yet! My cut was awesome, sal is a really good barber and knows what he is doing especially at fades which he told me was his specialty! taper as well was uniform and looked really good! @ THUMBS UP! ask for sal he is really good! if a fade is your cut then sal is your barber! read more
