Floyd’s 99 Barbershop

I’ve gone back twice since writing my last review in hopes of a good experience again since I got a recommendation on who to see. Unfortunately, both times the person cutting my hair rushed through it and didn’t do a very good job. It wasn’t a bad haircut either time, but they didn’t pay attention to the details, like making sure to get the hair around my ears with the buzzer. I’m planning to go to a different Floyd’s location and maybe have a better experience, since I really do like what they do when the right person cuts my hair.

It’s a quality place to get a haircut. There are only a few barbers available so making an appointment is smart if you need a barber. There are plenty of hairstylists so walk ins are always an option. Sometimes its really busy and sometimes it isn’t. It’s hit or miss really. The only negative thing about this place is its expensive. Other than that its a quality place with a nice atmosphere.

Although I had got a decent haircut here before, I recently had the worst haircut in my life from a pothead working here. I told the guy that I wanted a tapered crew cut with a fading back/​Pretty standard and easy, right? No! The guy had clearly not listened to me so he gave me the worst crew cut (not tapered) ever. I look like I cut my hair myself now. He just used the buzzer for sides and back straightforward, and used scissors for about 3 minutes on top. He was finished in about 10 – 12 minutes.
So, if you’re gonna go there for a haircut, just make sure that the barber understands you perfectly. If he/​she just nods along, repeat yourself to make sure.

I was one of Meg’s customers for a long time. Once she left I tried three or four other stylists and have not been happy with the results. I literally had to touch up every cut. Not sure I will go back…

My 13 year old hates, HATES to cut his hair. Its always an ordeal to get him to cut his hair BUT… He got NICK and he was so pleased with his haircut. Nick was so cool with him and he felt comfortable in his chair. What a relief!!! I will definitely take him to NICK next time :-)

My boyfriend goes to the Floyd’s in Cambridge and always leaves looking great. Today he went to this one and instead of just getting the trim he asked for he left with a buzz cut because the barber couldn’t get the cut right, kept complaining about how thick his hair was and tried to «get rid of» his cowlick. It looks like the barber just ignored him but to be honest I just don’t think he knew what he was doing. He left a bunch of really long random hairs in the front that I ended up cutting for him when we got home. He is going to be sticking with the other shop from now on, knowing that he will be leaving with a good hair cut is worth the trip to Cambridge.

I dropped in today with my lady while she got a great cut and style, I went in for a buzz, beard shaping, and a hot shave. While the barber was very personable he clearly hadn’t done many beards. This past year I’ve been making a point to go to a barber to get a hot shave and beard maitanace. I’ve been growing my beard out since July and had it shaped a couple times since then and finally decided to get it done again and try some place new. We landed here after nearly 280 miles in 24 hrs on our way to a party neat by. The buzz cut came out fine but the beard shaping was a mess– set me back at least 4 months and I had to have my regular guy fix it. The hot shave started out better then it ended. I went in rocking the two day stubble and came out with blood on my collar and scabs forming from now patches of missing skin.
I did buy some nice smelling overpriced vanilla scented beard oil.
$ 24 shave $ 18 buzz cut $ 22 beard oil.
Never going back PRICELESS. My suggestion if you want a hair cut this place is probably it. If you are looking for a quality experienced barber try something else.
Best of luck– at least it grows back…

Got my first haircut by Nick M. the other day. I don’t know when the last time was I got such an awesome cut. And for only $ 24. I would have paid $ 50. And a nice kid too. I say kid cause I’m 51 lol. The shop was comfortable and spotless. Plenty of parking and open 7 days a week. And no I don’t have any friends here and their not paying me to write this LOL

Just got a fresh cut from Floyd’s. I’ve been to other locations and was never impressed but left very happy this time. A new barber (Steve maybe?) cut my hair and did a great job, he had only been working there a few days. Make an appointment ahead of time or same day if you can… I went on a Friday and it was busy (which is a good sign).

Very impressed. I called today about 20 mins before coming, asking if they could fix a bad haircut I had got earlier. The women Natalie at the front desk assured me they would take care of me.
I arrived about 20 mins later, waited about two minutes and I was in a chair with I believe his name was James who managed to fix up the mistakes from the other spot I had gone too earlier and made me look way better then when I came in.
To top it all off, they give a free shampoo for your first time in and I was shocked to go pay out and only be charged 6 bucks for my fix when I was half expecting to pay the price of a full cut.
Good customer service guys, I’ll be back. I probably would have given 5 stars if I wasn’t in and out of there in 10 – 15 mins and got more then a quick fix.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. I recently had relocated to this area, and so I was trying to find a barber. The atmosphere was welcoming. It’s themed of music. My stylist was Anngelle W. I explained to her that I had a meeting tomorrow with my boss and his boss and needed to look the part. She asked a few questions. Cut it very nice. Trimmed the eyebrows, gave me a hot lather neck trim. The works with shampoo, conditioner and even a massage afterwards. A fantastic customer experience. I’m also a pet owner and saw she had pictures of her bulldog and pug. We chatted pet talk. She also gave me some tips and hints about the area. A real ambassador of the community. I will definitely be a repeat client. I should add that they took me as a walk in — no huge waiting. Great job.

Megg made up for a bad previous visit with a new barber. She rocks and is so attentive. Will be back!

I’ve come here a few times for a haircut now. I’ve never had a horrible experience and almost always liked the haircut I got.

I’m not overly critical for hair-​care but I felt very mislead by the cost for a wash, cut, and blow dry. The stylist was nice enough, not very chatty and commented of my hair thinning. The host was very welcoming and other stylist appeared pleasant with their clients. My hair looked great upon departure, but slightly blindsided when prices displayed are limited. Maybe I’m cheap for $ 60 as a new client, then at checkout a half off coupon.

Got a great cut tonight. Definitely a great place to get a cut. Friendly and quality.

Great cut, nice people, cool vibe, never a long wait. Though wish it was a tad cheaper: $ 29 for a cut with tip. Other than that, great experience.

Just had the first haircut in my life I’m actually happy with. Megg was so great with me and taught me how to style my hair myself at home… something that hasn’t always been the case at other places. Definitely going back for my next cut. The vibe in this place actually made me feel comfortable rather than insecure that I don’t have perfect hair like many other places I’ve been too.

This review is not for the faint of heart so if you are easily insulted… or you work at Floyd’s you might want to stop reading now.
I just «experienced» Floyd’s. WWWHHHHAAAAT? This was flat out the worst experience with a hair cut I’ve ever had. I was speechless. I paid, walked out and will never be going back again. I stopped by Floyd’s about a week ago before I needed a cut to see what they were all about. They told me that if I want a straight razor neck shave I should request a barber and that the back rub I would get with a cut would be phenomenal. I called this morning, made an appointment and requested a barber. I got there a little early and they had no clue who I was because I didn’t request a specific person to cut my hair. How could I??? I had never been there before. They shushed me off to the side but I didn’t have to wait long.
Now to the butchering… I mean cut. First off, I know that it’s not required but a little conversation would be nice while sitting in the chair. I didn’t even get this guy’s name, that’s how much he didn’t talk. He asked how I wanted my hair cut, yawned while I was answering him and that was it (he yawned a total of 4 times during my hair cut). He then proceeded to dig into my skull with clippers like he was trying to cut my hair at the root. He literally pulled my head one way while jamming the clippers in the opposite direction. I didn’t know Helga’s House of Pain was giving out barber licenses these days. I’m not sure how but he squeezed in a scissor cut on the top too. I blinked my eyes and suddenly was covered in hair clippings and he was taking the apron off me and sending me on my way. Didn’t even ask how I liked it or if I was happy with it. Again… WHHHHAAATTT???
There was no alleged back rub (not that I wanted one from him but.), there was no straight razor to the back of my neck and he didn’t even have the decency to clean me off. I got home and needed a shower and a hug. I basically paid $ 30 to be bullied for 10 minutes. If that’s your thing Floyd’s is the place for you. I seriously cannot believe I just paid for that.
I honestly have more to say but this review is too long as it is. All I can say is
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!
p. s. I’m only giving this one star because Unilocal wouldn’t let me leave ZERO stars.

I have been here a couple times and both times got a good men’s haircut. People are well trained, I haven’t had to wait and it is a good location. Best part — shoulder rub Included as part of the Floyd’s cut. Recommend you check out this Floyd’s.

First time I went: 45 minute wait? Really? So I left. Swore I wouldn’t try it again. But I did and I was glad. No wait and excellent cut. No rush, great attention to detail and customer satisfaction.
I’ve always loved the Boston shop, so it’s nice to have an option in ‘burbs too.
