Longwood Barbershop

I just got a haircut from Karim which was the best I’ve had in Boston. I used to live on Manhattan’s lower east side and went to some amazing trendy barbers. He is in the same league. Will absolutely go again.

Great haircut. Fast and efficient!!!

$ 18 for a haircut. Went here once and never went back.

Consistently do a great job. Always comfortable and there’s never a wait in the mornings. Just a heads up no credit cards bring cash.

I can’t say enough about Sam Ben Salem the owner of Longwood Barbershop! I walked in and asked him if he could come to my husband’s hospital room at Beth Israel (my husband is on his 16^th day there for a neurological syndrome) to do a cut and to shave him. He, without hesitation, agreed to come and then after working from 7AM to 7PM, came by and did a wonderful cut (my husband is very picky and was very happy with it) and shave. This young man is compassionate and personable and most definitely my hero! Thank-​you Sam, I highly recommend your barber shop and YOU-​which really deserves a 6^th Unilocal star for kindness and humanity!

I was upset with the results of my haircut. Unfortunately, the barber did not care to listen to any of my requests and did his own cut. I was very upset. Beware of this place… only thing it has going for it is its location in proximity to all the hospitals and its employees.

I was walk-​in killing time while my wife was in the hospital. I was very surprised. I thought my haircut was excellent. Highly recommend.

I have been to numerous barbershops in my life and I can say honestly this has been the absolute worst. I went in here due to the proximity and high ratings and I left here looking like a grown man with a 5^th grader’s haircut. I showed them pictures and it does not look anything close to resembling to what I wanted. If this place charged $ 9 – 10 then I would agree that I came in here for a cheap haircut then I should realistic expectations with mediocre barbers who don’t have proper training but even at the $ 18 price point I would advise other people to look elsewhere. I wasn’t even asking for complicated haircut, just something textured/​choppy on the top and it came out all straight and shorter. If you’re looking for people to butcher haircuts then come to this place because you can pay them to do that correctly.

Website says open at 7. Door says open at 8. It’s 8:15 and no one is here yet. Try to be professional and open when you say you will. Just wasted over an hour of my life.

Such a convenience to have this barbershop open in this area. And a great cut as well. I will certainly be back.

Really great location, at the major corner down behind Beth Isrea/​Brigham/​DanaFarber — And it’s a good-​hearted place, at the right price — A basic cut and a nice relaxing time on my lunch break.

Been there twice now and same as the previous reviews, I was highly satisfied with this barbershop. Incredibly easy to walk in and get a great, quick cut. Only had to wait not even five minutes the first time and walked right in on my lunch break the second.
The guys are efficient and very skilled. Both the shop and the barbers are pretty quiet, which I honestly prefer, with of course the exception of the scissors quickly snipping away.
The only knock I have on the place is that it is cash only and a bit pricey for a barbershop at $ 18, not including tip, but both worth it and understandable given the rent.

Best walk in hair cut I’ve had. I had no wait, my barber was quick, and my cut looks great.

I work at Beth Israel Deaconess and was excited to have the barber shop open so close to my office. First it is cash-​only so be aware of that. There are several ATMs in the area and you could also make a purchase at CVS and get cash back for those of us with ATM fees at foreign banks.
I gave them a try this morning and I was impressed with how it came out. It’s small and decidedly old-​school. The cut was done almost entirely with scissors and they only used a clipper to cut in the hair line. They also do shaves with a straight edge razor. The cut cost $ 18 plus tip. I will definitely be back there.

Great new barber shop, with services including shaves and hair cuts. Liked the barber a lot; has a very nice feel to it, and is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
