Barber’s Den

Cool place, great vibe, referred by a neighbor. Evan cut my 7 year old sons hair. Will go back

I have been here twice and had a good experience each time. The first time I saw Steve and the second time I saw Dayna. They are both friendly, competent, and gave me the type of haircut I asked for.
The second time I went I came straight from getting my hair butchered by a guy over at A Barbershop (my stupid attempt to save 5 dollars) and luckily Dayna managed to take me as a walk-​in since she had a no-​show. I was so grateful that she was able to salvage my hair and get me looking presentable again. Seriously, a huge thank you to Dayna. I came in quite upset and left feeling way better thanks to her.
Needless to say, I learned my lesson and won’t be going anywhere but Barber’s Den from now on.
If you plan on going, I would definitely suggest planning ahead and using their online scheduling. The first time I went I had an appointment, but saw an unlucky walk-​in or two find out that they were completely booked for the rest of the day.

Within minutes of meeting Dayna after years of expensive salons, I was ready to trust her to cut my long hair off and style it however she wanted. Couldn’t be happier with the result! Great atmosphere, very reasonably priced, and pretty easy to book an appointment.

Dayna is fantastic at her craft! She bravely took on the task of shaving off nearly 2ft of long, curly, thick hair. Although a lot of work went into achieving my new look, Dayna made it seem effortless. Never one to box herself in, Dayna is always open for new ideas & styles that may come her way when it comes to your hair. The Den crew as a whole are great at what they do! Be sure to check out their Melrose location as well.
FYI — Belmont schedules appointments in advanced.
Melrose is on a Walk-​in basis only.

Great environment after a little warming up. I’ve had several cuts and really enjoyed the barber and the results. both Peter & Dayna were friendly and good with small talk.
A great option is to set an appointment online and be assured of getting your hair cut without the wait.
Oh and my gf said the haircut looked great, so why do i need to look elsewhere?

I am barber-​phobic. I often wait too long to get a haircut because I have had some horrible experiences at other places in the past, and I never have a specific cut in mind. I have been to Barber’s Den on Trapelo twice now and, despite my lack of specific direction for the stylist, I’ve left both times with fantastic, stylish cuts and renewed confidence. The folks there are clean, professional, and friendly to boot. I would absolutely recommended Barber’s Den to anyone and everyone.

Today was my first visit to the Barber’s Den. I’ve been wanting to go for a long time now, as a bunch of my friends have had nothing but good things to say about the place, but I never got around to it.
This place is fantastic. Not only is the atmosphere awesome, but everyone there is super nice and really knows what they’re doing. I know a lot of people say this sort of thing, but I’ve always considered my hair to be pretty difficult to cut correctly (I have super thick, curly/​wavy hair), and I always have a tough time explaining how I want it to look (mainly because I’m pretty indecisive about it anyways). I told my barber that I didn’t really know how to explain what I had in mind, but knew I wanted something «fresh, and a little old school.» Boy did he deliver.
Not only was I able to make an appointment ahead of time (all online), but I was in and out in 30 minutes, and had good conversation the whole time. Oh — and I’ve never been more satisfied with a haircut. Definitely exceeded my expectations, especially considering how I couldn’t really put into words or describe what I wanted in the first place.
I found out they also do shaves as well… I’d love to go back and try one. If they can shave a guy like me half as well as they can cut hair, you can expect to see me on the cover of GQ.
I’m typically the type of guy that waits 2 – 3 months between haircuts, but honestly — I might go back more often because I like the cut so much. 5 Stars.

1^st — You can schedule online, which is great because I normally think about getting a haircut really early or late. Very convenient.
2^nd — Most of the staff is friendly and interactive.
3^rd — They do beards.
4^th — The superstar for the win is Evan G. I have been here 5 times now, he is the person I would hunt for if I am going back. I gave him a picture and got immediately got complimented by the wife.

Exceptional! My son recommended this place a while ago and I finally checked it out. You walk in and you can feel the energy. Peter cut my hair and I have to say he did an exceptional job. Next time I’m getting a cut and a shave. Great place and atmosphere. This shop is great for all ages.

I was able to walk in, get exactly the haircut I wanted, and pay a very reasonable price. I would 100% recommend the Barber’s Den to any guy looking to get a haircut.

I’m a dude who usually gets his hair cut at expensive salons, because I want it done right and I’m willing to throw money at any problem that stresses me out. Barber’s Den was actually recommended to me by a lady friend of mine that sees Dayna. I was reluctant to try out this cool looking barber shop, because I have an age and coolness complex being in my mid 30’s, but the lady who sent me there is a highly trustworthy.
When I arrived, my hair was way too long, a mess even. I saw Peter who asked me what look I was going for and he immediately went about his important work. The shop is very clean and cool looking. I enjoyed listening to Peter and one of the barbers discussing the merits of their old school model 10 clippers.
In the end, he gave me the exact look I wanted. I’ve been trying to get salon hairdressers to give me this look for a while, short on the sides, with a little left on top to flip to one side, but they never seemed to want to give it to me.
I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone!

What a find ! I had to get my 3yr old a complete head shave, we accidentally ended up here because it was open and close by, thanks this happened. Steve was the stylist and he is great with kids and so are the other stylists. They absolutely know what they are doing. There were several others customers including few kids and all of them got a cool haircut!
Place is clean and very well designed and maintained. Guys are super professional, this is the place to go. They also have a online booking system which makes things convenient. Happy to find this place.

After waiting for 40 minutes until it was my turn, they decided to tell me that everyone was booked for the rest of the day and couldn’t take me. There were no other customers waiting. Even after telling them how quick my haircut takes (it’s under 10 min) and that I needed it for «save the date» photos with my recent engagement, they still wouldn’t take me. Needless to say, I’m going to spend my money somewhere that understands the importance of customer service.

Ask Evan to give you what you want, and he will do as you please.
Professional atmosphere, nice people.

This place is amazing! It has and does everything that you would be looking for from a barber shop, and more. The atmosphere is very cool, mellow and fun. The owner really did this place right in terms of style and set up. I had the pleasure of the owner (Evan) do my cut, and my beard… lets just say he killed it on all fronts! Evans sense of business and how to treat customers is top notch. I came as a walk in and they were busy but he told me he would take me but I would just need to wait a little bit if that was ok with me. Well it was ok with me and I waited. (Keep in mind this place closed at 8 this day) well at about 7:50 he took me and stayed late to take care of me. What I liked best about Evan and this shop is that I received the same quality of service as if he started on me in the middle of the day as opposed to 10 min before closing. It did not feel rushed at all and came out pretty slick!
I suggest any dude with a sense of style and looking for a tight cut to go to the «barbers den» Belmont and see Evan!

I’ve been getting my hair cut at a nearby salon for the past year and while it was good I needed a change. The wife suggested I check this place out and boy am I glad I did.
I walked in on a Saturday afternoon an hour before closing but still got a cut. I would recommend to call ahead and make reservations because this place does get busy.
The gentleman who cut my hair moved fast, the speed at which those scissors moved I thought Edward Scissorhands was cutting my hair. The end result was fantastic, I love my new cut

I’ve never been wowed by a haircut, but the cut and service I just got at Barber’s Den was so wonderful, I just had to write a review. Dayna gave me exactly what I wanted and explained the process along the way. Because I had no clue how to style my hair, she gave me some suggestions, which was super helpful.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I can’t wait to get my haircut again. Such a great experience.

Went here today and got a cut from Evan. I have been going to the Melrose location for awhile so when I moved I was glad they had a location closer to me. Evan pays attention to detail and cuts exactly how you want it. He takes his time and made some recommendations. The scheduling is a huge plus. no more waiting in line anymore. Not sure why this place for two $$ on Unilocal.It’s 23 bucks for a cut in an area that could probably charge more. I highly recommend and will come back in a heartbeat.

I decided to check out the Barber’s Den and couldn’t be happier. I didn’t know my hair could actually look good until Sean showed me the light.

Had my first cut with Evan on Friday afternoon. Haven’t been to a barber in ages as I’ve been going to the salons for the past 10 years. I was looking for a new local place on Unilocal and found these guys. I wanted a modern cut so a barber shop wasn’t my first choice but then I checked out their website and read a few positive reviews so it seemed pretty legit. I checked out all their stylists and booked Evan online at their Belmont location. In general, these guys are young, hip, and current on today’s trend (faux hawk, pompadour, undercuts, etc). They also do traditional cuts but that’s boring. They are master faders so if you like high and tight, this is the place to go.
Evan’s execution was flawless and he salvaged an already failed attempt of a pompadour from another place. Even with my wild, omnidirectional, thick hair, he made it work and recommended me one of their molding paste that secures everything in place. It’s actually going to look better as my hair grows longer. I love it. Shaved about ten years off my age. I’m dinging one star just because I had to wait 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment which I almost ran late on another unrelated appointment afterwards. No big deal.
Overall, this was a great find and I’m very happy with my modern cut. Thanks for the great cut Evan. See you in a month.
