Editorial Review for State Street Barbers – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
One of the city's few barber shops that caters exclusively to men, State Street sports a retro-minded decor, complete with traditional fixtures and hardwood floors. Patrons enjoy a complimentary beverage and poke through papers and mags or engage in friendly banter with the staff. Expert barbers--State Street employs certified barbers, not stylists--provide haircuts and hot lather shaves (each cost $34 and are finished with a quick neck massage).

User Reviews for State Street Barbers

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

04/23/2008 Posted by jjrkane

I just tried State St. Barbers after a very disappointing experience I had in January at High Street on Newbury. I'm glad I found this place. Everything was so much more professional and the barber was 10 times better! You know how you can just tell who truly cares about what they're doing and who is just trying to earn a buck? I felt like my barber (Nour) really took time to understand what I wanted and then he delivered, big time. I went back to my office and several people were complimenting my haircut. I haven't had that happen before! At $34, I thought it was very reasonable. And I didn't have a hard time finding parking like on Newbury.

Pros: expert service, elegant decor, easy parking

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Overrated. Really just an overpriced and well packaged supercuts. If you have short or buzzed hair, its a nice experience and the complementary beer is a good start, but if you have medium or long hair, it is not the place to go for a real stylist. I will not go back.
