The Barber's Edge — Attraction in Beverly

I did some research and chose to bring my son here after having a not so pleasant experience at another local barbershop. The haircut at this other location was okay- but what upset me was that the guy thinned my son's hair without even asking me permission. I do not like when barbers thin my son's hair, and I always specifically tell them what I want for my son's hair before they cut it. So I chose to never bring my son back to that particular barber shop and look for a new one. I researched The Barber's Edge on google and read amazing reviews so I decided to book online with Maddy; the booking process online was very easy and we created my son's appointment. She had great availability and the salon's hours were good as well. I noticed for this area that $20 seems to be the standard rate for boy's haircuts; it's somewhat pricey but when I find a great stylist, it's worth it. When we arrived at the barber shop, Maddy was ready for us and I explained to her how I wanted to have my son's hair cut. I also showed her a picture of what I wanted and asked her to please not thin my son's hair. She said she wouldn't and proceeded to start my son's cut. I noticed that everyone in the barber shop was very friendly and welcomed my family in. I prefer to go to local businesses when possible and always enjoy having my son's haircuts at local barbershops. This definitely has the feel of an old school style barbershop and was nice and inviting on the inside. There is a little area to sit and relax while your family member gets their haircut and the barbers make conversation with everyone, which I thought was super friendly and nice. Maddy was very thorough with cutting my son's hair and meticulous; I could tell she was taking her time, but was also punctual and did not go over her time with us. My son typically does get a bit uncomfortable as the back of his neck starts getting really itchy from the hair, but I noticed Maddy was working to get as much hair off his neck as possible. He seemed to be alot more relaxed during this haircut; I also noticed that her personality and demeanor really had him relaxed. My son's hair looked fantastic and Maddy offered him some suckers for doing such a good job in her chair. My family and I felt very comfortable with Maddy's service and appreciate how great my son's haircut was. She provided excellent customer service and was very attentive to us; we will be returning again. Thank you Maddy and to the great customer service at The...

Recently I visited Barbers Edge. I really wanted to like this place. I chose it based on google reviews. I wished I checked out Yelp. When I walked in and my chair was covered with leftover hair maybe that should have been a red flag. My barber proceeded to use towel to clear out the left over hair. Waving and swatting the hair clumps like they were annoying flies. Not a vacuum or hair blower, but waving a towel at the hair. I am bald on the very top and my hair, which waves and curls, is cut best with scissors. So when I asked that they use scissors to cut my hair, the barber told me my sides needed to be trimmed by using a razor. That should have been red flag number two. Previous barbers and stylists have done fine jobs with scissors only. The bottom line is the sides were cut too deeply and uneven. This was by far one of the worst cuts I’ve experienced. But the real fiasco came just after the barber finished and proceed to remove my apron laden with a huge amount of my finely cut gray hair residue. He shook it over me. Yes, SHOOK the apron right over me causing me to be covered from head to toe with small hair residue. I was wearing a black shirt and my collar was literally spotted with gray hairs. Another barber, or maybe it was the owner, made a stupid reference that my hair just doesn’t want to leave me. OMG! Thank goodness I had a spare shirt in my car which I could change into. Never again will I get my hair cut from Barbers Edge. By the way it took me two washings to get that shirt...

Went here for the first time in desperate need of a haircut, I arrived at 3:30 as a walk in on a Saturday, They close at 4:00, I was one of the last people in line and was half expecting at 4:00 or shortly there after if I hadn’t been called to be given something like “sorry man but it’s 4 I don’t have any more time” but I got the complete opposite. At just after 4:00 I sat down in the chair of Barber Jancarlos who asked me what I wanted for a haircut. I told him I wanted to take the sides down pretty short and about half off the top he asked me two very simple questions and got right to work. I have to give it to him he’s quite a talented barber and works extremely fast paced and being that it was my first time there I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to walk out with. In the end when I stood up and looked in the mirror I was shocked at what a great job Jancarlos had done. For me I generally like the way my hair looks best a couple weeks after a haircut, but Jancarlos gave me the haircut I’ve been trying to achieve for years. If you haven’t gathered already the men at The Barbers Edge are worth every penny of your money, they do a great job, they don’t miss a hair, extremely friendly and just excellent. I will definitely be going back that’s for sure and I would recommend any one in need of a simple buzz cut and beard trim to a full blown long hair to stylish crisp like fade on the sides with a light trim on top, any haircut you need go to these guys they’ll get you...
