My second visit to The Barbers Edge in Beverly, Massachusetts. Master Barber Horrell was able to fit me in after a short wait, as I had missed my appointment. I received another excellent cut. I was already hooked on this shop after one visit and am now committed. Two additional points of interest: FIRST: In my previous review I had mentioned some of the unexpected criticisms I found on Booksy and Yelp, which needn't be repeated here but had to do with inappropriate language and conduct in the shop during Master Horrell's absence. I had stated in my review that I hoped he would address these issues. Today, I learned that he had. As well as other employee adjustments, the most flagrant offender was dismissed. This is what I had hoped and expected he would do and I was glad to hear that he had done the right things. SECOND: When I arrived at The Barbers Edge today a man was in Horrell's chair, receiving a clean-shaven, close-cut that was almost finished. I subsequently learned that the man was homeless. On a hunch, based upon my character assessment of Horrell, I asked if the man had paid or if Horrell had "hooked him up." Not to my surprise, Master Horrell had given the man the haircut without charge. Need I say more? I recommend that you try The Barbers Edge and if something is not right; then tell Master Horrell and he will make it so. read more

Wildly surprised this doesn't have 4.5+. The cut is one of the best around. I didn't see any bookings available on their site but I figured I'd call, and it turns out their booking software only books for the next day and they had openings! I was in the chair in under an hour. It was a really relaxed vibe, good conversation which is lost on other barbers, and really good attention to detail. I got the haircut, beard trim, and hot towel with a straight razor line up and even touched up my eyebrows. It was $45 but I gave $60 for the cut and tip. I only get a haircut once a month and it's well worth it. read more

Horell is the best barber I've ever had. He is dialed into the details to give a great cut but doesn't take too long and is always a riot to chat with. Nothing worse than leaving the barber shop with a cut you hate and I leave here so happy with my cut every time. His skill is clear in the way he does his high quality work so effortlessly. Plus, the hot towel at the end? Unreal. Makes my day. read more

Our teenage son saw Horell today, and FINALLY approves of a barber that's worthy of cutting his precious locks. In his own words, "He gave me a sick haircut, and even cleaned up my eyebrows!" Our other two boys had haircuts with TJ and JC and had great cuts as well. The shop is spotless, staff is friendly, professional and attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Just stopped in to Barbers edge. Got a great haircut at a good price. My wife loved the cut and she is hard to please. Would recommend the Barbers edge to all ages. read more

Really nice barbers! Took my brother there for a close shave, as he already had a hair cut but made the time very comfortable and well worth it definitely go back! read more

Went in to get my haircut on a Friday afternoon... loved the haircut at first, but the barber (JC) butchered my neck with the straight edge razor. I have cuts, razor burn, and bumps all over the back of my neck and near my sideburns. I didn't realize how bad it was until my girlfriend took some pictures and showed me, and saw that I was still bleeding in multiple spots. I went to call to talk to them about it... but the place closed 4 hours early! I called about 6 times and nobody picked up, and this is at 3 pm on a Friday, when their hours say that they are open until 7 pm. The big take away? Never coming to this place again... not unless I want a bloody and scarred neck!! Look elsewhere for your haircut. read more

This place is great but only for guys who want a high and tight style haircut. I left super bummed after asking for a lot of length on top and left looking like a cue stick. They're nice, but don't expect anything outside of a gentlemen's cut. read more

I have gone in here two times and walked out after waiting about an hour. Unless you have a reservation, don't bother! They don't care, it's funny to them. read more

The Barbers edge, By far goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable in every way. Horell the owner is awesome and has a wonderful personality. I always get my cuts there and always come out fresh as can be "Crispy" I even brought my 2 twin boys Roman and Rocco there to get cuts . I was very happy with the outcome and so was the wifey lol!!! I have looked for a regular barber shop for years that was consistent. The Barbers edge by far exceeds my expectations. I am now a regular and refer everyone there that I know. I also tell them to go get some grub at punta cana next store, awesome Dominican food. Thank you Barbers Edge you guys Are the best by far. read more

We recently transition from a kid hair salon to a barber shop for our son. I was a bit apprehensive about a little boy going to a barber shop. I've heard & read horror stories about loose lips, and tall tales any mother would be embarrassed to hear. This place is far from that. The barbers are friendly & do an excellent job. They are very patient, even with a squirming little boy. The hair cuts were both spot on & exactly what I had asked for. I'm 100% pleased & will keep on taking my little guy here. read more

Love this place. Talented barbers (I've seen all but one to date), Horell the owner is of old school talent, tell him how you want your haircut or let him suggest, you can't go wrong. Hot lather straight edge shave, warm towels. I'm amazed how reasonable his prices are given all the extra touches they do. Shop has a big screen tv, coffee, water, couches, leather chairs etc. making any wait painless. So glad I found him. read more

I did a lot of looking around the area to find the right barber shop for me. I've now sat in everyone's chair that works at the shop and I have to say that each one of them gives a high quality cut. JC is perfect for a quick cut if you're in a hurry and need quality. The owner is so friendly and great at giving a good cut with great conversation. Ben, though, is my personal favorite barber there. His attention to detail and commitment to quality is unpralleled. He's also a great conversationalist. He's never given me a bad cut. He's the reason that I still come down to their shop for my cuts despite moving a few towns over. The place is good for walk ins but if you're looking to get in a specific chair or not wait for one to open it's not a bad idea to book ahead on Booksy. read more

Now that I've switched from visiting beauty salons to barber shops I find myself wanting to test them all out. The Barber's Edge is in my 'hood and sits on the "cursed" corner that has housed a variety of sandwich and pizza places over the last 8 or so years. The interior's big windows highlight the wood floor and warm wood of the stations. The back of the long shop features a couch around a TV as a comfortable waiting area. It's clean and comfortable. They weren't busy so I was seen immediately. Eric and I chatted about what I was looking for- what I referred to as that "silly hipster hair cut with the shaved sides." He immediately knew what I was talking about and set into getting the specs of what I did and did not want. That done, he set into cutting my hair. Chit chat was pleasant and he routinely checked in with how I liked the cut. I appreciated this, a lot. I decided to go with a shaved part. This was done carefully and precisely. To clean up the edges he finished with a straight razor., which having never had done before, was a really odd feeling but damn does it look sharp. After the cut was finished Eric wrapped my head in a hot towel. Which I have to say, was as relaxing as the one thing I miss at the hair salon- the washing of my hair. The hot towel and head massage was so relaxing and something I've never experienced. It was awesome. Finally, some gel smoothed in an a touch with the brush and comb, stray hairs removed. Dare I say it? Eric's cutting of my hair is damn fine. I'm super happy with my silly hipster haircut . Obviously, I have trouble when it comes to monogamy with my barbershop, but this place is so close to home and I got such awesome treatment I'll be back again. Cost for this treatment was $16. I'm not sure if it's cash only or not, but I came prepared either way. read more

I felt like the barbers are not looking for new customers. No welcome upon arrival for a walk in. Did not acknowledge I was waiting for service. read more

Been going here for a couple of years but lately it's gone down hill fast. January they raised the prices and the quality started slipping. Don't know if Horrell knows that on Mondays they often close early, are rude when you call on the phone, make homophobic remarks (my partner and I often go together!) and they complain about how they are treated and are looking for other jobs! That's it. I'm done. We are trying out other shops. read more

Recently I visited Barbers Edge. I really wanted to like this place. I chose it based on google reviews. I wished I checked out Yelp. When I walked in and my chair was covered with leftover hair maybe that should have been a red flag. My barber proceeded to use towel to clear out the left over hair. Waving and swatting the hair clumps like they were annoying flies. Not a vacuum or hair blower, but waving a towel at the hair. I am bald on the very top and my hair, which waves and curls, is cut best with scissors. So when I asked that they use scissors to cut my hair, the barber told me my sides needed to be trimmed by using a razor. That should have been red flag number two. Previous barbers and stylists have done fine jobs with scissors only. The bottom line is the sides were cut too deeply and uneven. This was by far one of the worst cuts I've experienced. But the real fiasco came just after the barber finished and proceed to remove my apron laden with a huge amount of my finely cut gray hair residue. He shook it over me. Yes, SHOOK the apron right over me causing me to be covered from head to toe with small hair residue. I was wearing a black shirt and my collar was literally spotted with gray hairs. Another barber, or maybe it was the owner, made a stupid reference that my hair just doesn't want to leave me. OMG! Thank goodness I had a spare shirt in my car which I could change into. Never again will I get my hair cut from Barbers Edge. By the way it took me two washings to get that shirt clean. Stay away. read more

Went in for a beard trim and it was close to closing but Horell fit me in . He took the time to give me a great trim , a clean shave around the neck and detailed the beard. Great place , clean , good attitude and no pressure, all for a very reasonable price . Much better attitude and price than the place at Market Street in Lynnfield, which wanted my personal information and more than triple the price for a beard trim. Looking at the reviews between the two and it appears that Barber's Edge has the edge in every way! read more

I swear the people saying they have great barbers, have never even been to a great barber. I went in and asked for a simple combover and light trim, that's it. Showed the guy a picture of what I wanted and he immediately starts shaving my head!! After I stopped him and corrected and let him continue, he proceeds to cut my hair and then gives me a crooked lineup with the straight edge that left me with red bumps and cut for two days after. Absolutely horrendous barber and customer service is almost as bad. Avoid this place, you've been warned. read more

These are my guys. Hands down the greatest. It's been kind of rough because I moved myself and my daughter back to Malden because my ex didn't know how to treat a 6yr old little girl. So to Rell, Will, Tusco, Ben and JC I'll be up there strictly to see you guys and get a fresh cut next week. These guys, with Hell-Rell as their leader are everything you want in a barber shop. Very talkative to clientele great atmosphere from HipHop music (gets immediately turned off if there are youngins waiting to get A cut (done out of respect for the youth) to sports talk. Again, on a busy day, you may wait at most 15min. I love Will as my first choice because Rell never has anytime for me except for picking on me In the Park Lolol but trust me as I tell you, you are family from the first time you step into the barbers chair, you got nothing to worry about!

I never usually leave negative reviews, but I regret even stepping foot in here. I came into the Barber's Edge trying to get a simple skin fade - and it really didn't end up looking good at all. Very uneven. read more

Stopped by on my way back to Gloucester and very happy I did. Eric did a great job. Fair price, high-quality haircut. Very clean place. Nice decor. I couldn't be happier. read more

Eric did a great job with my once butchered cut from Roosters in Lynnfield. I've struggled to find a quality shop since I've move to MA from D.C. And now this shop and Eric now has gained my business for many future visits. Prices are great, atmosphere is ideal for a barber shop and the customer service was spot on. Never thought I'd write a glowing review of a barber shop but here I am. Great work gents. read more

Needed a haircut and did not feel like waiting at sportsman so I stopped in. This place just opened so I gave it a try. Very friendly and told the barber what I wanted and he went to work. Very fast and did a great job and reasonable price. Just found my new barber. read more

This is a total hit or miss place, I don't think the owner knows the guys working in the afternoon close early a lot. Came at 3:20 and they were already closed. They had nobody waiting, and two guys almost done in the chairs. The refused to acknowledge I was at the door. This isn't the first time this has happened. I am done with this place. I had a people I didn't know ask me who I go to and I mentioned them and they said... " He would never step foot in the door again after the bad language he heard coming out of the barbers" and the other experienced what happened to me. Good way to sink your ship... If the owner approves of this behavior then this place needs to be avoided at all costs. I heard myself some very bad stuff coming out of the employees where they trashed Gays, democrats and anyone who didn't approve of their views..... Oh... If they have a friend come in they will take care of them before you and they don't have an appointment. read more

Great cuts. Nice guys. They know all the latest techniques. And they are dog friendly.

Like most people, I have gotten a haircut every month for as long as I can remember. NEVER have I had one like the ones I get at this barbershop. The haircuts are INCREDIBLE and boost self esteem more than any other thing. Not only are these the best haircuts of any place you will ever visit, but the prices are lower than Supercuts and Sportsclips, while doing a much better job. The staff is friendly and really gets to know the customers by taking their time to do the best possible job. I love this place so much that I have driven from my house in Lexington all the way to Beverly just for these cuts. WARNING: Once you get your hair cut here, you won't be willing to go anywhere else read more

Horell is a great barber does very well as does the rest of his associates, I have only been going there a short time, and every time is a perfect cut.. I definitely would suggest these guys to anyone living close to the Northshore area. They do amazing work and i'm almost pretty sure there isn't a style that they cannot accomplish. Word of advice for the readers, give them a try and you will not be disappointed. read more

Best in the area. The chirping in there is legendary.

Took my two young boys in for an overdue haircut. Nice barbers, they know what they were doing and were very patient with my kids.

Horrell is one of the best barbers around I have been following him for years and grateful he has opened a shop so close to home. If your looking for a great barbershop look no further read more

best barbers on the north shore!!!! very professional i wouldn't go anywhere else!! read more
