Goodfellas Traditional Barber Shop

I’ve been going to Goodfellas since they opened and before that having Vito give me my first haircut, Haven’t changed barbershops my whole life. My Father has been going to Vito for over 40 years. right there you have about 70 years of combined loyalty, there is a reason for that. No matter what you will always get a great cut, shave, and conversation. No matter who you go to you can guarantee a great experience.

This is my third time been to Good Fellas and none of my trips have been disappointing. Every Time i have been here it was a different person who cut my hair and every one of them was so perfect. They are so traditional and pay attention to each and every detail. I mean right from wrapping the warm towel around your neck to shaping up the back with a Straight Edge Razor, everything is so vintage and barberly.
The entrance to this place is weird and if you are new to this place it takes a good time to find this hidden gem. These guys are tucked in the corner of cliveden street. Even though the address says hancock street you need to walk around on the Cliveden and the entrance is hiding in the back. Like today i didn’t even see a sign near the entrance.
They used to share this place with a Thai massage but not anymore. Its sad to see them not here anymore. I also noticed that there prices have bumped up a little bit. They now charge 23 $ for hair cur, 26 $ for Hair cut & wash, 28 $ for face shave. Oh by the way they only accept cash. In case if you forgot cash there is an ATM machine on-​site but to avoid any fee i would recommend carrying cash.
The place is pretty clean and the staff working there are super energetic.
I dropped a star coz of their prices which i find are a bit pricey but overall you cant find a better alternative if you are a local.

My hair cut was great and from other reviews I gather it is a great place. if you are not gay. If you are, go somewhere else. The day I went there were plenty of «gay» jokes, and I found out from my husband, who got a cut right after I did, that the barbers were making fun out of me after I left. Certainly puts a great spin on a «traditional» barbershop. Recently moved to the area and really saddens me to see this type of behavior is condoned.

I’m the husband of Julian, who left a review below. We went together and he went first. While I was getting mine after he finished, one of the barbers (whose both is next to the restroom directly behind Mike’s) started making jokes about «the two gay guys» who had just left, which was a reference, I assume, to my husband and me because he didn’t realize I was still there.
It was a pretty humiliating experience.
The guy is also just completely unprofessional in general, making constant jokes about how often he masturbates while there were children getting their hair cut nearby. The other barbers were all nice and professional, but it was disheartening to see that none of them thought it necessary to tell this guy to be a little more professional and a lot less homophobic.
Mike, who cuts my hair, is great, and I want to keep coming back to him, but if this place doesn’t change its attitudes towards its customers, I’m going to have to think twice about that.

Best barbershop I’ve been too in Quincy. Sal and Mike are awesome. Never had a bad haircut, lineup or beard trim. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a trustworthy barber. Vibe is great and the guys are friendly.

I brought my toddler here. Just ok. He pitched a huge fit because of the hair tickling his neck– the drape wasn’t tied very tightly around his neck so the hair got all into his clothes. The barber handled the screaming pretty well given the circumstances but we had to leave before the haircut was finished. I think I ended up paying over $ 30 for it, which is why I am only giving three stars. That’s too expensive for a quick little boy’s haircut.

It would be hard to find a better barbershop in the Quincy area. Each barber does exceptional work and even with their slight price jump ($ 20 to $ 23) it’s still worth every penny. The atmosphere is laid back, as a barbershop should be — and the place is clean and classy. I made the mistake of going to a different barber in Quincy a few weeks back and my image is still in recovery mode. Get to goodfellas — you won’t regret it.

I’ve been going to Goodfellas for a haircut for 3 years now and I know for a fact that as long as I live in Boston, I’ll be going here for my monthly hairdo just because Mike is one of the few barbers who knows his stuff and it’s hard to find barbers like that. I can tell that most of their clientele is comprised of repeat customers which is a great sign and the barbers here take their time to give you a haircut unlike other places that try to rush you. The only downsides with this place are that it’s cash only and Mike doesn’t take reservations which has sometimes led me to wait for 2 to 3 hours.

Best barber shop around inviting and a great hair cut always! You need your haircut come here you won’t be disappointed!!!

I posted a review about this place without realizing that I was posting about the wrong business. I apologize to the business owner and his clientele for any negative consequences that may have been caused by my review.
The business owner has since reached out to me and invited me in for a haircut which I appreciate.

I am extremely disappointed with the service at this barber shop. I came here on a Monday as most other barber shops are closed on Mondays and they are open. No one greets you as you come in, I waited for over an hour and was never even acknowledged. Poor poor customer service! The employees seem more interested and joking around with one another than serving the crowd of people waiting for a haircut. First and last trip to this shop. Never again!

I have been going here for @ 10 years now. When I first moved here, I tried a number of different barber shops from Quincy on down the South Shore. They all pale in comparison to Goodfellas. In my opinion, this is the best barber shop south of Boston. All six of the barbers are great. The shop is very clean. Their attention to detail and consistency is something I haven’t found at other shops. The best.

The best barbershop on the south shore old fashion, clean and friendly they know exactly what kind of haircut you could want nothing but class in this place A+ for this barbershop

Best mens haircut in The Quinz. This place is a man cave of sorts. Excellent barbers all but Mike is my favorite. Great at his craft and conversation. Well worth waiting for as this place gets busy. The setting lends itself to its name sake. Don’t worry about dropping a few four letter words here. Music was lots of Dino and old blue eyes. 20 $ buck gets a great cut and the hot foam touch up they do is a bit of luxury. A mans cut in a place just for men. GRUNT !

I live nowhere near this barbershop, but I make the pilgrimage anytime I want a great shave and haircut.
All the guys there do solid work, but I personally prefer Vito who shreds my style whenever I come by. Walk-​ins are accepted, but each of these guys have people lined up, so I can only suggest giving them a quick call for an appointment (they ALWAYS answer… even in the middle of a cut).
The prices are beyond acceptable. (CASH ONLY) ATM on location.
If you are looking for an in and out experience lacking a personal touch, I suggest you do not come here. If you decide to try them out — you should know that not only are you becoming a customer but you are becoming part of the family.
GREAT JOB FELLAS!

If you are in and around half hour drive of this place, then it it the place to go for haircuts for men. Great family shop with good conversation, if you want to have any.
A very loyal client base and no appointment system means the wait times can go up to an hour sometimes, but almost all repeat customers never seem to mind it. I know I certainly don’t.
I have been a customer for four years or so now and dread to go to any other shop when these folks close early and I need to get a haircut urgently.
I can understand the couple of reviewers who mentioned lack of customer service when coming in and waiting, but you have to understand the other side too. They are trying to provide exemplary service for what really matters, and that is the hair cut.

Goodfellas is a pretty great barber shop in Quincy. Walked in for the first time ever around noon on a Tuesday and was 3^rd in line, waited probably 35 – 40 minutes. Rob cut my hair and did a really terrific job, was genuine and friendly. My hair is not your typical guys, it’s thick and a pain to deal with, but Rob made it look great. Highly recommend the shop, and I will absolutely be back regularly. Easy 5 stars.

My husband went there for a haircut… according to him, the service was excellent, and the guys are friendly…
BUT…his haircut was SO uneven… his right side is longer than the left side! Argh… No gel can fix it because it sticks out so bad!
I understand customer service was great… but at the end, it’s about the cut. Maybe he’ll try another barber in the shop.
PS His barber at name is Vito… and I think he’s the owner.

I asked the barber if I would get whacked if I gave this place only 4 stars, which led to the following conversation:
Goodfellas Barber: You’re a pistol, you’re really funny. You’re really funny.
Me: What do you mean I’m funny?
Goodfellas Barber: It’s funny, you know. It’s a good story, it’s funny, you’re a funny guy.
[laughs]
Me: What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Goodfellas Barber: It’s just, you know. You’re just funny, it’s… funny, the way you tell the story and everything.
Me: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What’s funny about it?
Other Barber: Jonathan no, You got it all wrong.
Me: Oh, oh, he’s a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?
Goodfellas Barber: Jus…
Me: What?
Goodfellas Barber: Just… ya know… you’re funny.
Me: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it’s me, I’m a little fucked up maybe, but I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to fuckin’ amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Goodfellas Barber: Just… you know, how you tell the story, what?
Me: No, no, I don’t know, you said it. How do I know? You said I’m funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what’s funny!
Goodfellas Barber: [long pause] Get the fuck out of here, Jonathan!
Me: [everyone laughs] Ya motherfucker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes. You may cut off my ear.
(ok, none of this happened. Good haircut, great movie!)

I was in Boston on business, the Bruins were playing for the championship, the Red Sox were in town and the only reasonably price hotel I could find available was in Quincy! Glad the stars were in aligned in my favor!
When I Googled Barershop Quincy Goodfellas jumped out for the five start Unilocal ratings.
Vinny, you deserve a sixth star… I’ll lobby Unilocal for it! Best shave and haircut I’ve had in years of travel as a 4-​day a week road warrior! Really love «da family business!» I’ll see you in two months when I’m back in Boston (yes, I’ll drive the 30 minutes to Quincy for the pleasure of another shave and cut).
Vinny even hooked me up with a great Italian Restaurant in the North End… Saraceno’s here I come. They don’t take credit cards but have an ATM in-​house so no worries for dopes like me who rarely travel with cash.
