Boston's Best Salons For Men

Salons are often seen as a woman's game, but men need haircuts too. Many men get their hair cut much more often than women and enjoy a friendly, not-overly feminine atmosphere. Sure, there are plenty of corner barbershops around the city, but when it comes time to get a serious haircut, these are the salons that have customers walking out the door looking like a million bucks.

Roffi Salon on Newbury Street is the go-to place for men and women to get perfect hair. This sleek studio has everything while also offering a community, friendly-feeling atmosphere. And though many salons are geared towards female patrons, Roffi's clientele is split evenly between genders. Plus, Roffi Salon is one of the most environmentally friendly salons in town.

Philip's Salon
437 Hanover St.
Boston, MA 02113

Philip's is a cross between a neighborhood barbershop and a high-end salon. The staff is small and familiar, but patrons are sure to walk out the door with a top-notch haircut. Plus, compared to many salons in Boston, Philip's is quite affordable, making it perfect for recent grads or anyone on a budget. Since it is located in the heart of the North End, customers can always treat themselves to a cannoli at Mike's Pastry on their way home.

Shag Boston

Shag Boston is both chic and masculine, with a trendy website to match. The salon is owned by celebrity stylist Sandy Poirier, who offers haircuts at a slightly higher rate than the rest of the staff. However, the salon's success can be attributed to more than just a celebrity status. Shag is very active on social media, hosts events and features a killer blog.
