Super easy to communicate with them, helpful responses to emails. Great vibe inside and the tattoo came out great!

Got my first tattoo with Cat here. She was very patient during the consultation and quick with the tattoo. All the girls were super sweet and welcoming. Tried to call late in the day and no one answered. Also tried to get an appointment through the website (couldn’t get an slot either) Walked in the next day and they had an availability for 6pm that day. Totally worth it though! Definitely coming back.

Been going to Boston Barber and Tattoo for haircuts nearly 7 years, and can definitely say I feel more certain i’m walking out with a great cut from here than anywhere else.There’s a lot of solid barbers, and a few who I don’t love as much and won’t go to anymore, but from my experience, and for my style, Ricky and Netty are top tier. Ricky charges a little more, but if you need *any* stylistic work with scissors, i gotta hand #1 to Ricky. Netty’s overall just really sweet and can fade sides like none other, and I would definitely recommend her if that’s a focus for youI used to love the old system they had where you could walk in and put your name up for someone specific, or just take the luck of the draw. Was great to go on a leap of faith, but once you narrow down who you like going to, the new booking system is quite nice.Boston Barber has a strong Boston culture, which may intimidate visitors less accustomed to the people here, but like much of this city, everyone is so friendly and funny once you get to know them. Top notch banter every time

Coolest shop I’ve ever been to. Someone on here reviewed it as “the legit Boston experience”, undeniably true!Jerry hooked me up, I can now show my face proudly in public again.Go check them out.

I noticed this place while driving through after just having moved to Boston. I booked my little brother an appointment online with Ricky (great availability!) as a “thank you” for helping me move. He walked out of the shop absolutely BEAMING and said he won’t let anyone else touch his hair ever again. The only problem is… brother still lives in South Carolina, so he will be visiting regularly to see Ricky, not me! My mom was there for the appointment and said it was like watching an artist at work; Ricky was meticulous and laser focused. Ricky’s inherent talent and passion really shows in how amazing my brother’s hair looks. My brother has never looked so handsome and he cannot stop smiling. Thanks so much, Ricky!

A lot of great personality here, and you really feel like you can just vent to your barber about life or just have a nice conversation with

Marissa did a great job with my tattoo! Im so happy with the results one week later. I would definitely recommend this place for getting some ink. The building is amazing and the people that work there are very friendly.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMNED THIS BUSINESS, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL My friend had an appointment scheduled and without here knowledge they rescheduled her appointment for a different time in the day than what she originally planned for. She arrived for her appointment and they told her she was late and would not be serviced and they also took her money. She spoke with a manager a couple of days later to try and resolve the issue and receive a full refund, and she was belittled by the manager. He informed her they tried to call her numerous time but she never answered, he read off the number he called and texted and she told him that was the wrong number and that was not the number she originally gave when she made the appointment. He then stated to her that he didnt care that they called the wrong number and would not be issuing her a refund.

Love this shop.... quality in all aspects from barbers to coffee bar and even more so on tattoos... dont ever hesitate to go here for either need you may have!

Amazing professional tattoo shop! I worked with Cat who is a crazy talented tattoo artist that took my concept design and made it into a beautiful piece that I am proud to wear. Oh by the way, she did all of this with me over email since I was out of the state for the time leading up to it. Just trust her and her design work because she will really make your ideas come to life in the most incredible way.Highly recommend

THE best place you could possibly go to for a tattoo! A year ago, I was looking for someone who could do a certain armband tattoo and Catarina knocked it out the park despite its complexity. Just yesterday I returned but this time, I got an equally dedicated, patient and friendly artist named Jason. I came in to get a hyper-realistic tattoo of Augustus Cæsar and I am at a loss for words due to the unbelievably great services. The shop is clean and the prices are affordable, and everyone is super nice. I can’t wait for my next visit.

Great place, great chat, awesome barbers.

Super friendly staff and they did an awesome job on my haircut cant ask for anything better

Awesome experience. Everyones really friendly and helpful

Best place in town! Best tats, haircut, eyebrows tats, and even coffee! People are super friendly too!

Very good service!

Great hair cuts and overall great atmosphere

Catarina Quintino crushed my photo realistic tattoo! Professional art work and atmosphere. Will be going back for more ink soon.This pic is about 1 hour after getting the tat, so theres still some blood, redness in there. Totally normal

Loved the people and their work...

THEY NOW OFFER PIERCINGS!!!! GO GET PIERCED

Kim did a great job giving me the haircut I asked for. Was a bit disappointed to see that she was not wearing her face mask when I arrived upstairs. She put it on when she saw me but it should have been on the whole time. She could’ve been infecting the air around us. Still a good experience

Sarah is the way to go !She will be my new barber for the long haul :)

Best haircuts I’ve ever received.

Since moving to Boston, I’ve gotten my hair cut here twice now and will continue to come here. The atmosphere is super chill and the barbers do a great job. Nick cut my hair today and was amazing. I’ll be back in a few weeks!

They do a wicked good job and the atmosphere is great. I always find myself cracking up when Im there

Great place for a haircut. Ricky is an artist and he gave me a sick haircut. I cant wait to come back!

Best barbers in the city!

The artists here are so friendly and so very talented. Amazing quality

Good prices, friendly staff, and a good cut. Its walk in only, which is overall just so much less hassle.

Great haircuts for guys and great tattoo artists. Love this place. See my picture of before and after on my tattoo.

Fast and accurate. Great rocknroll vibe. And the best: listening to the guys conversations. Hilarious!

Matt( apparently there are several) did an excellent job. Cut my hair very well.A whiskey would have been nice. But thats not Matts fault.

What can I say?..Lauchie Macdonald is a superb artist and great guy! Went in early August, met with him, talked over what I wanted and what he could do for me. First appointment was last Friday and well worth the wait - its a tat, gonna be on me until Im worm food so why not wait for the BEST!!! Going back in a couple weeks so he can finish his excellent work!!! Dont have much hair, so cant review the barber shop side but the Tattoo side and Lauchie rocks! Thanks!!!!!

Visited Boston for a weekend, and found this place! It looked so cool from the outside that we couldnt not go in. Super friendly people who fit me in for a walk-in, and I couldnt be happier with it! Brian did the small leaf and he was very friendly and professional. Ive never felt so at home in a tattoo shop before.

Their Facebook states “the shop only accepts walk ins.” So I seamlessly tried to walk In and get a cut nothing fancy. The woman at the front told me it’s appointment only and then tried to find a day for me to comeback... while two dudes were sitting in their chair texting. They Go by their motto definitively, sticking to “tradition”. But it seemed more traditionally like keeping POC out. Who knows the motive behind this act but seemed sus to me. If you’re a black guy like myself this might not be your barbershop.

Great service awesome work!

The atmosphere was cool but the cut was just bad... I had to get it fixed after from a diff place. I would suggest finding a barber there that looks busy maybe? The person I went to upstairs had no one in his chair and a few people passed on him to wait; I get why.Place was dope though.

The place to get your haircut in Boston. These guys will treat you right, keep your lines straight and your fades tight. I’ve been numerous places but this is the absolute best. Great atmosphere and grab a coffee while you wait.

I’ve seen Adam twice now and he does an amazing job. I go for beard trims/line ups, and occasional haircut. The place is SO cool! Walk in, write your name down on the cue sheet, take a seat at the bar for some coffee/water or by the chairs and someone will call you up. Never had to wait more than 10min to be called. Love it there!

Best barbers in Boston. Very cool atmosphere as well. Ive been getting my hair cut here for three years (since I moved to Boston) and have had several different barbers cut my hair. All have done an awesome job. As long as I am in Boston, I wont go anywhere else. Keep up the great work!

Great place! A throw back to the time honored profession of barber. Adam cut my hair...and he did a fantastic job. Highly recommend and next time I am in town will definitely stop by!

10/10 will get tattooed here again!

The best barber shop I’ve visited since moving to Boston. I’ve sat with most of the barbers in the shop and can honestly say they all give high quality cuts. Great shop.

Awesome shop, great vibe and good people. My buddy turned me on to this place and Ill definitely be a regular now

Out in Boston for work and needed a cut. Boston Barber & Tattoo (North End) was the only decent-looking place that was open on a Saturday, so I decided to give it a shot. I arrived shortly after they opened (9:10, opened at 9) and the place was packed! I signed-in and made my way to the back where I was greeted with a fresh brewed espresso. Before I knew it, my name was being called. Although there were probably 10+ people waiting, there were 8 barbers working, so it was a non-issue. My ONLY problem with my visit is that the guy that cut my hair (dont remember his name) cut off everything up to my part, even though the outline from my last cut was still there. I understand that everyone has their own style, but Ive never had anyone cut a fade all the way up to the part, Seems like a rookie move for cutting a standard fade. Other than that, he did a good job and it does look halfway decent. Plus, it will grow back. Prices were very reasonable for being in Downtown Boston, so check out the shop, you wont be disappointed. Just make sure to be specific with exactly what you want before the barber starts.I will definitely return if I find myself in Boston and in need of a cut.

I wont go anywhere else when i come up to boston. Best place hands down. And the dog helped lol

The best vibe ever. Good people. Great tattoo artists. Its such a pleasant experience

Love the atmosphere here! Staff is welcoming . Coffee is very good and reasonably priced. Had eyebrows microbladed by Desiree, she did a fantastic job! It was fast and the shape came out perfect! Would recommend to anyone.❤

This is by far the best place in Boston to get your haircut. The walk-in ability is very convenient, and the atmosphere is excellent. Just go

Boston barber and tattoo is my regular spot. Cap, Dave, and the guys have miraculously managed to put a modern day spin on that traditional, barbershop atmosphere. Great conversation, timeless and traditional skills/tools, fair pricing, and a quality service are barely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to reasons why they are such a great place, and what keeps me going out of my way intentionally for such an awesome experience.

I made a 1pm appt at the location in Rochester nh. I waited a half hour outside while they took in their friends who didnt have appt before me even after my scheduled appt time continued taking people. I never got my haircut

Started going here a few years ago. Adam is a superb barber. Great haircut and great footy banter, will always find the game for you if you go in on a Saturday morning! Wouldnt go anywhere else in Boston now. Nice caf at the back and all to grab a coffee while you wait. Cheers lads

Fantastic spot. Fantastic atmosphere and best cut I have gotten in a long time. Friendly staff who are helpful and will let ya know what’s what in the area.

My guy Anthony is the only barber I would drive 20 miles for. I was a client when he was still in Waltham and followed him when he started at Boston Barber. The extreme attention to detail, yet still laid back demeanor is something I have yet to witness from another barber. He listens to what you want and the execution is never less than stellar. I had always dreaded getting my hair cut but since Ive been here, its always a good experience. Getting to the North End and parking is an issue but its worth it.Take my advice, ask for Anthony.

Couldn’t help but check out reviews of places I enjoy due to boredom cause of Covid-19.First of all, there is no tattoo shop or barbershop that’s comparable to Boston Barber & Tattoo Co. I’ve been getting my ink here for year and I’ve never once had a bad experience. I personally go to Lauchie, but all the artists at this shop are beyond talented. It’s very well managed by Rob. It’s evident that he is very caring when it comes to the customers and his employees while you’re in the shop for the day.I’ve never gotten a haircut here due to where I live but during my next tattoo appointment, I will absolutely be trying it out after using the same guy for years (need a new barber because mine is now out of state). I’ve talked to them a couple times while waiting for my appointments and they’re hilarious dudes that are also very talented. It gives it that classic barbershop feel.I wish you could give reviews more than 5 stars because Boston Barber & Tattoo Co. deserves it. Thanks for everything over the years Rob and Lauchie!

Amazing shop and amazing people.Barbers are unbelievable and so are the tattoo artists. I have many tattoos that were done here both by Brian, and Cat and also a previous worker as well. Unfortunately I was never able to get tattooed by Lauchie but I wish I had been able to.Very comfortable great atmosphere and some of the best people around you in the heart of Boston’s Little Italy.

Been coming here for a few years and have good things to say, but a guy with lips tattooed on his neck cut my neck with a straight razor enough to get a decent amount of blood on my shirt collar and acted like nothing happen, thinking i wouldnt notice once i got home.aside from one bad incident, its a good place.

Im very particular about my hair and I visited this place for the first time and my barber got my style down perfectly and was quick too! Very cool place too!

Nicole is the best (:

Simply great! I would give it more stars if I could.Happened to be in Boston, happened to need a haircut and happened to find this great barber shop. Walked in, joined the list and had a coffee waiting for my turn on their cool coffee shop next to a great tattoo artist on the job. In less than fifteen minutes they got me on the chair.Over the result I will simply resume it with the best adjective possible: Professional. Just a few words and they got what I wanted. The result was great.Really cool place, really cool people and really great results for a good price. Id go every month here if I didnt happen to live thousands of kilometers away ;)

Best haircut of all time!Wonderful experience.My son and I went to Boston for the day and decided to get haircuts. Hes 14 and plays hockey, so we chose Boston Barber & Tattoo because we heard thats where some of the Bruins go.A very friendly young lady welcomed us and showed us where to wait. There isa bar with coffee and cold drinks which I thought was a nice touch. The shop was really crowded, but within minutes we were escorted upstairs where there are three more barber chairs.My son, who is ridiculously meticulous about his hair, got a haircut from Michael.My guy was Jerry. Both barbers wereamazing. So thorough. My son LOVED his haircut as much as I loved mine - and for $20. The guy I used to go to charged $25 and hardly cared at all what it looked like when he was done. These guys felt more like artists than barbers. Hey, the atmosphere and experience were great, but well be going back simply because the haircuts are the real deal.Thanks, fellas

Reasonable price, great service. Staff were all professional, friendly and fun, without being in your face or invasive. Did a great job--pre-interview haircut.

Great atmosphere, friendly and professional staff, and their prices are reasonable. $24 for a stellar cut. Ask for Dave, although Im sure theyre all pros. Cash only. ATM inside. ESPN on in front of every chair. Coffee bar accepts cards. Coffee is actually great. Havent had any ink done here, yet, but Im told to ask for Cat.

Very cool place, it looks small but its huge. I got a hair cut here would recommend. You can request specific barbers.

Good barber shop in the north end. The only thing preventing me from rating this 4 or 5 star is the consistency of haircuts. At times the barber will do their own thing that isnt in line with the style you asked for. Or the most frustrating times have been asking for the length up top to be left alone and the barber takes an inch off. The price is pretty good and the staff is always friendly.

Im going back after 5 weeks tomorrow. Barbera the barber did a great job and even coached me a bit on the look. Great job... everyone in there was more than welcoming. See you all tomorrow!

My wife and I went to get new tattoos for our anniversary and our initial experience was good. However one month later when I called to schedule a touch up for my initial work done they would not return my calls. When I finally got a hold of someone several weeks later they informed me that the tattoo artist I had was no longer working for them and that their touch up service after your initial work no longer applied. This is contrary to the agreement I signed when I had the work done and they refuse to honor their free touch up. I will not ever use them again nor would I recommend them to a friend.

Talented lineup of barbers that can accomplish plenty of your hair needs. Im eager to come back and try the tattoo portion of the shop.

Let me start by saying that I have never taken the time to write a review online about anything and only made a Google account so that I could do just that about this place:About 4 months ago I decided to start growing out my beard. Everywhere I read and anyone I talked to told me to let it grow for about 2 months so that It would then be long enough for a barber to properly cut/ groom it. So after looking scrappy as hell for 2 months I wanted to make sure I found a shop that knew how to cut beards so that it was not all for nothing and I would just end up shaving it all off anyway. After reading the reviews on here I decided to give Boston Barber & Tattoo a try, best choice I have made in a while. I went in on a Saturday morning and was in a chair in about 15 minutes. The Barber (Jerry) spent about 35-40 minutes on my hair and beard and I couldn’t of been any more impressed/ happy with how it came out. On top of the great beard trim and haircut for a VERY fair price the atmosphere, people and conversation was all fantastic! Just to give an example, my barber Jerry was talking to me about how best to take care of my beard and what I should be doing to groom it the right way and Rob (who I think is the shop owner) overheard us talking. He came over and handed me a bottle of beard wash a rep had gave him as a sample to try. He told me to try it out and if I liked it he would carry the product in the shop, this was my 1st time ever in this shop so needless to say the first impression was very good! When I went in for a second time I decided to make an appointment to get my existing tattoo touched up for the summer. I ended up designing a large rib piece to go around my existing tattoo instead with Cat a tattoo artist at the shop. Just to clarify when I say “I” and “design” in the same sentence I mean I gave Cat a picture of a tree and she created/ drew up an unbelievable tattoo. In all the tattoo took about 7 hours and 2 sessions and was located on my ribs. I am ecstatic with the way the tattoo came out and when I get another tattoo I will 100% be going back to Cat at Boston Barber and Tattoo. I would recommend Boston Barber & Tattoo to anyone looking for a great haircut, beard trim or tattoo and will continue to be going here as long as I live in Boston.

Great haircuts every time. Doesnt really matter who you get in my experience, theyre all very good.You cant book but there is a paper based queue system. Typical wait time at the weekend is around half an hour if you dont request a specific barber, a bit longer if you do.

Awesome tattoo parlor. Cat did a beautiful job! Highly recommend this place!!

I have visited Boston 13 times in 5 years and have been to Boston barber every time incredible haircut and incredible people thanks Boston barber California Kevin

Efficiently run without much of a wait, as there were many barbers working mid day during the week. You can request a specific barber when you sign in. Ill be back and request the barber who gave me a great cut. Reasonably priced for the real deal.

The girl who cut my hair gave me the worst haircut I’ve ever had. I understand there are a lot of barbers that work at this shop, and I’m sure some are really good, but my experience was quite bad. The atmosphere is great however, and they take walk-ins which is convenient.

My favorite barbershop in all of Boston. They have two floors of barbers and all of them have their own unique styles. Ive never been disappointed going here in the 2 years Ive been supporting this business!

Great atmosphere, great people. Had my hair cut by Cap and he was a very professional and a friendly guy. Quality service all around. Cant beat their price for a quality hair cut.

Good cut for $24. First time there. I got to go to the 2nd level. Interesting people, tatois going on and good vibe. I will be back.

Went to the shop in beacon hill it was alright, but the North End shop... best Barber Ive been to. Everyones inviting and helpful. Me and my boy got a nice cut with razor work and everything. definitely worth the price.

The best place in town for haircuts. Been going there since day one. My son will only get his haircut there.

Great place. Good staff. Cool environment. Free beer. I wish the place would take appointments though.

At first, I was kind of skeptical since all these guys did as soon as I walked in was talk smack to each other. After my haircut I was amazed; they did a great job and were actually pretty fun in the meantime. I will definitely go back here.

Decent price, friendly barbers, and pretty good haircuts!

So not only did I get the worst shave of my life, I also paid $30 for it...

High energetic mindful staff. Features A coffee bar. Traditinal settings, with past guest of professional athletes. Total walk-INs as well.

I did go in there without an appointment so maybe that was part of the reason why.. I could have stayed in the South Shore and got the same haircut.

I liked the atmosphere walking in and perhaps I just had (bad) luck of the draw, but a miserable experience overall.The whole crew is in their twenties and perhaps some are better than others but my barber took off WAY more than requested, kept dropping comb and scissors, would turn away to talk while cutting, and repeatedly asked if he could leave early. For the actual cutting I felt manhandled, enjoying the sort of delicacy usually reserved for a machete, not a straight razor.Who knows, maybe Ill wake up and the mirror will tell me it was worth it. If Im ever in a jam I might gamble again, but for those who recognize the value of a clean classic cut just pay the extra $5 and book ahead at Barbershop Deluxe or similar high-end establishments and stick with the pros.

I have gotten my hair cut a handful of times here and I have had a different barber each time. The first time I went was alright, the barber was a bit rough but it looked great so it was fine. The following time I had someone new and it was the best cut i had received up to that point. My third time going i requested the barber who cut my hair the second time, but he was no longer there. I got someone who had only been there for a week and it was amazing. Best cut Ive received to date. My most recent visit i learned that the gentleman who I saw my third time was gone so I had someone new yet again. I believe his name was Riz (or something along those lines) he was very friendly but I told him I was growing out the top of my head but he still trimmed part of it and he left 5 or 6 cuts around my head. I have never had that bad of an issue with cuts before. I am 100% willing to go back again but the inconsistency and my most recent experience is worrisome.

Amazing!! I will gladly fly from Baltimore JUST to get my tattoos from Lauchie. Friendly staff, clean, and wonderful atmosphere. And the ink!! Perfect! He took his time and the detail he put. I went in for just a small wrist tat and I have more than I ever ask for. Very reasonably priced too.

Nothing but the best here. Have gotten 2 tattoos, 1 from Cat and a cover up/ full chest piece from Lauchie. Wicked awesome skills and always satisfied with the art work. Everyone there is friendly and chill.

Barber didn’t introduce himself, didn’t ask if I want produce, didn’t show the haircut at the mirror. Haircut was $24 I gave 30 he didn’t even ask if I need any change. Not good experience

Wicked great spot. Dave L. upstairs is by far the best barber in Boston.

Ive been to just about every barber in Cambridge and Somerville but kept searching, after experiencing drastically varying levels of quality and professionalism. I crossed the river once to try these guys out and theyve been my shop ever since. Consistent, quality cuts every time.

Great place to have a haircut, it’s walk in concept and employees are very professional and generous.

Professional and skillful staff. Quality haircuts, unbeatable price. The best barbershop in Bostons North End.

This place is awesome,and I am def coming back! If anybody is looking for an excellent barber 💇 Ask for Chanel... She rocks 🙌 👍👌

Great place for a tattoo.It also has that older Barber shop feeling.Fun atmosphere and enjoying employees to work with.

Every time I get my haircut I wish I could get a cut like I did at Boston Barber Co. These guys are the best. Ive lived in NYC, Detroit, Los Angeles and nothing compares to this cut. Best in the business. I might fly back to Boston just to come hang and get a cut.

Nicole is truly a tattoo God. Also everyone is very nice. I called to reschedule and Bridg REMEMBERED my name. Wild. 10/10 already planning to go again

Went to get some ink because im from out of town and thought it would be pretty awesome because its Boston, right? They werent very welcoming and turned me away, luckily for me they sent me to seaport tattoos where I got a bangin tattoo

Very long wait and slightly above average haircut.
