Knockouts Haircuts For Men

I had a lot of expectations from this place, but it turned out to be like any other ‘supercuts’, «Hair Cuttery» kinda salon. So I took an appointment for a hair cut, the lady on the phone was very nice, as it was my first time I dint ask for a specific Stylist, but expected that all Stylist will be experienced and know how to cut a very simple cut. I was introduced to Gianna (sorry if I have the name wrong, but she is the skinny, like 5’4, straight hair) very nice girl, but she doesn’t know how to cut hair. I don’t want to offend anyone but she needs more experience, I felt she was nervous, couldn’t hold the scissors, trimmer was going all over the place, after the shampoo she left soap all over my ears, neck and sides. Before getting started I showed her a picture and gave a few more instructions based on my hair, even showed a picture of my hair from the last cut. She very quickly said, «oh I got it «, but as soon as she started I could see her going wrong, I wanted to stop her but couldn’t just get up and say I don’t want to get the cut. I really care for my hair, and go to a place after a lot Of research, saw the reviews, saw a friends cut which was good so decided to try it out. My review is not for all of the Stylists, as I am sure others are much more experienced, but I felt my Stylist was either on training or just wasn’t confident to do the cut I was looking for. If she is on training I will advice them to let people know when you take the booking, if she is not on training and was just not confident enough to cut the style, next time please let the person know that hey I don’t think I’ll be able to do the cut. I am not kidding, she was not able to hold the scissors and then she could not blend the side hair so I just said please don’t go shorter as while trying to blend, she was just going shorter, I will have to go to another salon to get the hair fixed.
The two stars are basically for the massage and shampoo, which was relaxing. I don’t mind paying more for my hair, but when I am paying $ 35 I will expect a decent cut, being a salon, Haircut is the first thing that matters all the other services are later.
I am sorry if I hurt or offended anyone, but wanted to be honest about my experience.

I enjoy reading the nice reviews, but that has not been my experience. In May 2015, on a Saturday afternoon, I decided that I needed a haircut and dropped in (as indicated on their website) around 4:30 pm. I was told, rather rudely, that there were no appointments available, but that they could accommodate me on Monday afternoon. I left and went to another men’s haircut establishment. However, I called them back and asked whether there were any available spots on Saturday afternoon and was told «yes!» I then told them that I had been there 15 minutes earlier and was turned away. The person answering the phone said, «Well, uh, we had a cancellation.» I was turned off by the experience but decided to give them a second chance. Today, the Monday after July 4, I am way overdue for a haircut. When I called them, the individual answering the telephone said «How may I help you?» I said, «I would like to make an appointment for a haircut this evening.» She said, «Can I put you on hold?» I said «yes.» After about 90 seconds, someone picked up the phone and said «What did you want?» I again said «I would like to make an appointment for a haircut at 6:30 pm.» She said that she could give me an appointment at 4:30 pm, but that they were going to close early this evening because one of their hair stylists had to go to the hospital. Not sure what their problem is, but I think they need better management and public relations.

Excellent personalized service! Lauren Martinez is awesome! Lauren Martinez works in your Framingham and Norwood locations. She is a true professional ensuring her guests receive the best customer service possible. She always takes the time to ensure a great haircut and that I leave happy. I look forward to taking advantage of all the knockout services.

The staff are awesome. Every single one I’ve encountered. The uniforms are less sexist than they were when the shop first opened– some people may be disappointed about that, but anything they can do to shed the «Hooters For Hair» image the public has about this place is A-​OK by me. The theming is great. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. Salon style treatment without the salon atmosphere of gossiping ladies and makeup products everywhere. It’s my #1 go-​to for hair cuts, beating out the excellent and more affordable RAZORS in Somerville.

Ok — I admit, this place is a bit sexist (I’m a female here) but they do good cuts. My husband’s hair always looks good — show them a picture and they can do it. Ladies, do not fear, hairstylists at this location looks nothing like hooter girls — they are fully covered and not necessarily all attractive. Just ordinary women.

They do not come much cheaper than myself especially for getting a haircut. The stuff just keeps growing back making the money spent of short term value. Whatever happened to $ 7 haircuts? I miss those…
Moved into Framingham a year ago and decided I would just try the different places in the area and see what it was like at each. You may find some other reviews of other places around, but that is not an indicator of being unhappy with the services.
Knockout concept as explained on the web site was interesting. Specializing in making men feel great while making them look as good as they can. The pricing was not easily found, and that was because they are more expensive than many places, and while they offer nice touches like a complimentary beverage, the real value is in did they cut the hair well!
I have to admit that the experience was very nice. The cut was superb, and Sara was a delight to talk with through the longer than normal time spent getting a cut.
I could easily spend the extra dollars and enjoy this experience on a regular basis.

Never had a bad experience at this place. Great haircuts and great service.

Anyone who writes a bad review for this place neglects the most essential aspect of Knockouts: they give a fantastic haircut.
As a guy, I don’t like going to salons, and Supercuts is a coin-​flip. I went to Knockouts after being consistently frustrated by barbers and bad cuts at Supercuts. I read the reviews and noticed one trend– even people who thought that it was a «Hooters for haircuts» acknowledged that they give a mean haircut, and that’s really all I wanted.
I have gone twice and plan on going back because of that exact reason. I, personally, did not feel that it was like «Hooters» any more than one might say a nail salon with male employees is like a Chippendales. Everyone there was friendly, they helped me get the haircut I wanted, they even shampooed and massaged my scalp (and even a hand massage when they weren’t busy), and did a hell of a job. I’m not sure why taking a haircut and making it more relaxing and making someone feel pampered is supposed to be sexual. It’s a haircut place that is aimed towards men, and while the Sportscenter on the TVs, magazines (I saw Sports Illustrated, Maxim and Improper Bostonian), and sodas are there for you to kick back and relax while waiting for your haircut, I don’t think that equates to a sexual environment. Maybe if you want a male barber who will give you a crew cut is more your thing, then this isn’t the place for you, but if you want anything remotely stylish done with your hair and would prefer something trendier without having to experiment with salons and trying to figure out if the salon knows how to do men’s haircuts, then this is the place for you.
As for price, you really get what you pay for. If you want to pay $ 20 for a haircut at Supercuts, you’ll probably have a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ shot of having a good haircut (if that, I’m more at like 10% success rate). If you want to go here and always get a good haircut for $ 32 plus tip (for the normal haircut I got), it’s more expensive, but the quality really is that much better.
TL;DR: GREAT HAIRCUTS. END OF STORY

Love this place. Jess is great & can cut my hair. My wife always says «great haircut». Free drinks & hot towel on face with scalp massage — very nice.

My fiancé comes to knockouts all the time. They do a great job and I love that they offer us drinks when you walk in the door. It’s nice that he gets to pamper himself a little!

I have been coming here since they opened. Never a bad cut, and I love the service and experience. Thanks, knockouts!

This place is the Holy Grail of men’s haircuts!
Management does a great job recruiting top talent to insure a perfect cut for their customers every time. I have been going there for 3+ years now and very happy to be a loyal customer.
The girls give you recommendations if you ask for styling tips, makes sure that no hair goes down the back of your shirt, and head massages are a awesome!

Jess, Melissa and the rest of the crew are great. Very professional services for men and women.

Went in with high hopes of finding a great Barber shop for Men where you can sit down watch some sports, talk with a man and get that great old barbershop experience.
Instead I found out that it’s basically hooters for haircuts. In a world that tries to exploit sex at every instance, this place follows that idea and seems like a great spot for middle aged men to get away from their wives and flirt with hair dressers at the «Salon» masked as a place for men.
I guess my search continues for a Barbershop where I can have a complimentary beer, enjoy a Cigar, talk sports, get cut up and shaved by a man who’s been in the game his whole life.

Totally great things to say about this place in every aspect– from the professional haircut and style (Jess is my personal favorite), to the always friendly and easy on the eyes staff members, to the scalp and neck massage which always makes me forget any stress that I might have walked in with. Truthfully, I’d probably pay the admission cost for the massage alone, but you get much more. For those men who require the diversion of ESPN on the flat screen, there’s plenty of this too, but personally (despite being a sports fan), I don’t this much attention.

Been going 9 months– 1 year now. Good haircut. Moderately attractive girls. I love the head massage.

If you are avoiding Knockouts because you think it’s cheesy (and Hooters-​like), you should lose that perception. As always, Jess gave me a phenomenal haircut. The ladies that work here are professional, bubbly and fun to hang out with.
Here’s a tip… when you hit the chair for the scalp massage, your answer to, «Do you want a hand massage?» should always be, «Yes, thank you!»

This is the second time I’ve come here, lured in by a set of Groupons they had a while back.
First of all the girls who work are great. They go out of their way to be exceptionally nice when you come in and throughout the whole time you’re there. Here are the two things I’ve tried there:
Massage: I received a 45 minute massage from Brenda who was really interactive and made sure to concentrate on all the areas I asked while also making sure to get in a quality all around massage. While being great to talk to throughout the whole process.
Haircut: I’ve got my hair cut here twice and both times were great. I’m not going to mention any specific person because I don’t request anyone in particular and haven’t yet been disappointed. The service «The Heavyweight» covers way more than a haircut, it includes a scalp massage, hot towel treatment and more for about $ 15 more then a regular cut in any old in and out place, which is well worth if it from time to time or every time if you so choose.
I’d come back here more often if it wasn’t so far from my new place, but I can do nothing but recommend the great service and lovely staff to others.

I won’t describe the whole process as the other reviewers have already done so.
I do want to point out that, although it’s a bit more expensive than other places may be, these ladies are fast workers and they produce darned good work. (They’re very easy on the eyes, too!) Last place I went to took half an hour just to shampoo and cut my hair. Aly at Knockouts manages to shampoo & cut my hair (producing a good look, too) AND gives me a scalp massage in the same period of time. The massage is enough to make me melt in the chair — the hand massage is icing on the cake. She also did a good job of getting some of the grey out of my beard — I’m way too young to be grey.
They also have a massage therapist on staff as well, and she also does a good job.
Guys, give this place a try — you’ll find yourself understanding why women go to the spa… and you’ll find yourself going back! I’ll be getting my hair cut at Knockouts for the foreseeable future.

4 solid ones boys, listen up
so i have raved about moe in reviews past, damm, if i could make it into brookline easily and for that matter, if he could keep a schedule conducive to mine, even better, but let me tell you about a different kind of place to get your haircut, KO’s!
so at first glance, this appears to be a hooters for haircuts, well not exactly, but the short shorts and the costumes, the sports themes etc, obviously they want to market to men, so short shorts are a good start.
now if you went and they gave you a crap cut, would it matter how they were dressed? hells yes it would, its your head, and you cant walk around with a hat on at work, well unless you are a relief pitcher or something. well im not, so i was at first hesitant to let someone cut these samsonesque locks based solely on short shorts. additionally i needed a beard trim and doing that myself has cause many an uneven experience. hello knock outs.
so they are right on rt 9 and even better 3 minutes from home/​work and i have had a friend go there, he said it was fine, so sign me up.
walking in i was welcomed with a hello and a smile. now its important to point out, they are extremely friendly, some of it might even be sincere! regardless, it was welcoming they even offer you a free beverage. they point it out that its free, which is also nice cause when you walk into a place like this with the women the way they are you kinda wonder if all these perks are going to add up, which pleasantly, they do not. sport stuff everywhere, tvs at the chair, sports radio, sports sports sports, they do not chant sport, but close.
first they consult you on what you want done with your quaff. ive been going to the same dude for years, so i would usually sit and he would work his magic, this time i had to attempt to explain, which i couldnt, so i just said, see this, this but shorter. i think it worked out. then my new friend jennifa (yes, that is how she spells it, does that scream a boston shore or what?!) went over the whole routine. shampoo, cut, another shampoo and then the clincher, the scalp massage. yummmmmmmmm!
she was kind, cut fast, shaved me up nice and best of all, massaged very nicely, i even got a free hand massage from another KO, so im feeling pretty good overall, i mean sure its very intimidating the first go round simply due to the whole premise of the place, but they do make it welcoming and she sure explained everything to me, well maybe even over explained stuff, but i guess thats the training and i also guess they might see a brick even so often so im not knocking it.
no 5^th star cause to be honest, its expensive. it was worth it though and i would even consider going back if needed (based on convenience) they do a bunch of other manly things like coloring (ok, not manly sounding for sure but just for men sells millions of boxes a year, right?) back waxing (ew) and other things i dont want to ask about.
